I believe that any relationship should start with honesty so I would like to be clear up front that I am the father to the most wonderful little girl in the whole world. She is the center of my life. (Her mother is also a great person, but it just did not work out between us.) I spend as much time with her as I can, but I have a great deal of time left over. I would like to find someone to spend that time with who interests me both mentally and physically. Not looking to rush right into the "happily ever after" but not afraid of it either. Just want to meet people and see what comes of it. Not into games, etc. if we hit it off on here, let's meet for dinner, or drinks, or coffee. It doesn't have to be a physical relationship, but the whole cyber only thing doesn't appeal to me either.

If you are emotionally secure and want someone to hang out with, I hope to hear from you.

Not the greatest picture of me, but not the worst. Just like it because my little girl took it and she likes it. Plus, I can never really decide to grow a beard or not.

This sure seems like a silly question. I would think a first date would almost always be different. Perhaps I should put something in about a romantic walk along the beach at sunset, but if two people connect, a park bench or a crowded bar can be just as romantic as a beach or hot air balloon. (Which I would be afraid of, for what it is worth.)
