I want a long term relationship with someone I can grow old with. I want to start as friends, but move to serious soon. Looks don't matter, because when your old, all you have left is personality and companionship. If you just want something short and quick, I'm not going to waste my time. I want honesty and openness, I'm tired of the secrets and hiding. I can't stand people who put up a false front because they think that's what people want to see. I accept people for who they are and want some else who does also. I also like smart, independent women. I have kids to take care of and don't want someone else to take care of also. She should be my partner, who I will show love to, not someone I have to guide and parent through decisions. I don't want someone too young or too old. I want someone around my age. Prefererably at least 30 or at least be over the 20 something phase enough to want family and not be into going out and partying. Someone who can share my experiences of growing up in that we watched the same cartoons as kids and knows what an Atari is.
I am separated for 2 years now,divorce in progress and working on getting custody, both to be finalized by the end of the year. My kids are my life and anyone else comes after them. If that bothers you and you don't feel the same, then keep looking. I am very family oriented and protective of anyone I care about and would be of a new partner as well. I enjoy long intellectual discussions and deep movies, but usually relax to action movies and ones that don't require much thought. I have a flexible job that works varied hours, but always my family comes first and would give up everything for them when they need me. If you want to talk more, just message me.

If you are not into playing games and want to have an adult relationship. If you just want to develop into a serious relationship, and are over the 20 something phase. If you are honest and don't believe anyone should judge another person, ever. If I haven't said too much and you still want to find out more; I have many facets to my persona and this barely touched on them.
