Hello!!? Yoo hooo! Everyone's looking for a genuine, honest, nice guy? Right here! Yeesh!

I don't bite and I am houstrained! I will occasionally utter a dirty word though! ;)

Do I color outside the lines? Ha! There are no lines for me! Do I march to the beat of a different drummer? Hell... it's MY drum!

Please...I implore you to read every word that is on this page. What you see and what you read, is what you get with me. There are no secrets, no hidden agendas and certainly no surprises when it comes to the way I represent myself . You won't meet me and realize that I wasn't the same in person, as I am/was in text. Also, take note that I am a big & tall guy. Big, football player size, standing 6' 4"... if you have a problem with a big & tall guy, now is your chance to move along. :)

I'm not looking to exchange messages today and meet you tomorrow. Let's get to know each other a little bit via email and phone and see if we truly do want to meet. The one thing I don't want this experience to be is mundane. Let's not treat this POF thing like a job interview or 20 Questions. I'd much rather learn about you and you about me, through normal conversation. I soooo hate to feel like I'm being interviewed for a job when getting to know someone. Keep it fun! Let's joke, laugh, poke fun... I'm not here looking to fill a job vacancy.

I act younger than my age, not that I'm old... I just believe in doing what makes you feel good and having as much fun as you can. I don't live by anyone's standards or do what someone else thinks is right. I'm the king of sarcasm. Fiercely loyal. Intelligent. Pessimistic yet optimistic. Spontaneous. Affectionate. Cynical. Articulate. Inquisitive. Creative and artistic. Witty. Very opinionated. Unpredictable. Caring. Thoughtful. Blunt. Giving. Goofy, Serious. Shy. Responsible. Considerate. I value friendships and relationships like they were gold. I'm extremely low maintenance. I'm more about who I'm with than what we're doing and I don't need a lot to make me happy. I'm simple. With me, you'll get back everything that you give! I expect the same in return.

Not into the bar scene, never was. Never smoked, never did drugs, never even had a hangover! I'm the designated driver, the guy who makes sure you get home safe no matter how it may inconvenience me. But I'm far from boring... in fact, I've been told there's never a dull moment with me! LOL

I'm not Mr. GQ. I'm not the wealthiest man in town either. I have a job, I have a car. I have a good credit score. But I'm not perfect. I definitely have my flaws but I believe my positives far outweigh my negatives and it's a constant work in progress to tip the balance more and more towards the positive side. If a guys profession, income level or credit score make or break your interest in him, move along. I'm not materialistic. Your sense of humor or your smile will impress me much more than your job or posessions.

I'm not here to be your second option. I'm tired of the dishonesty and especially the juggling that 'internet dating' brings. I've been told that the juggling is just the nature of online dating. I don't buy that. I think that's just a lame excuse made up by those that can't be honest and focus on getting to know ONE person at a time. Find someone that interests you and focus on them. If it doesn't work out, fine - move along. But don't juggle a few guys/girls at once because just like juggling any objects, you're going to drop one of them and that could have been "the one" if you had paid more attention. You miss out on so much when you spread your attention thin. I want someone who has time. I'm busy, we're all busy... but if you can't make a little time for an email, or a dinner... movie... concert... then I'm definitely not the one for you.

I work an odd schedule. Not only do I work nights, but I also work weekends too. So it's hard having a social life. But I make the time and most definitely am the type that'll meet you more than halfway when it comes to effort. The bright side is, my schedule is changeable. I've vowed to myself that if I do find someone to start a relationship with or date regularly, that I'll start the process to have a more "normal" schedule.

I'm looking for someone who can communicate. Someone who I look forward to hearing from, look forward to seeing... and who looks forward to hearing from and seeing me. Someone who can't wait to tell me about the significant and insignificant things about their day. Someone who can talk for hours even though it only seems like minutes. Someone who can give me more than a sentence or a few words. Please be talkative. Also, please be a person of your word. Your word should be gold... it's really all you have in the end, so treat it that way. I do!

It would be a huge bonus to find someone who had the same musical tastes. I work with a lot of well known rock acts from the 70's, 80's and 90's. It'd be nice to share that aspect of my life with someone who likes and knows who these bands are. Music (rock) is a driving force in my life.

You might see that I viewed your profile but didn't send a message. That doesn't mean I'm not interested. It could just mean it's my shyness kicking in. Take a chance and find out. If you're too shy to drop me a message, just favorite me and I'll do the rest! :)

Saying hello doesn't constitute marriage. I won't stalk you just because you said hello, or even "sorry, not interested". Take a chance. ;)

It all depends on the people involved. Definitely keep that first meeting simple and save the more elaborate and time consuming things for future meetings if things work out and we agree on another date.
