Well, Iv been outta the game for close to a year and a half. So, Im back. My name is Andrew. I'm livin and wokin in Lloydminster these days

This is me in a nutshell. I'm a nice guy! Genuinely and 100%. I'm funny as hell (so 2 guys walk into a bar ...which was really dumb cuz the 2nd guy really shoulda seen it *cue rim shot*). I work alot. I'm not much of a drinker beyond social. I'm a hopeless romantic pervert. Generally I'm a pretty smart guy but there are moments where I'm about as sharp as the edge of town. I love music, country, rock, retro 80's and hair bands. I love the outdoors, camping, fishing, quading, etc. Im very much into photography. I have a huge heart and I believe that communication and respect along with making a conscious effort to not take your partner for granted are some of the most important things in a relationship. I am also a very sexual person. (I must add that I mentioned this in my last profile and had alot of people assume that because I even mentioned sex I must only be looking for "hook ups". I was thinking of leaving it out this time but decided that if you only see my being sexual as me ONLY wanting a screw then you're too closed minded for me to get along with in the first place).

*note. I DO NOT have a feminine side that I am willing to get in touch with ....again. I'm still working off the community service the judge gave me the last time!

I cant say I'm looking for a relationship right now. Friends are just fine with me and as I said, I am sooooo not looking to just "hook up". That said. Many of the qualities I want out of friends are the same as what I look for in a lover. Its when I find someone who exceeds those qualities that I start thinking of her as potentially more than just a friend. So, regardless of what I am or am not looking for I'm always open to the possibility of finding more than just a friend. I guess the best way to sum it up is to say that in the past I have found myself in relationships and wasn't always quite sure how I had gotten there or even why. I don't wanna be "with" someone just to be "with" someone. My ultimate goal is obviously long term but I hate to say thats what I'm looking for. I'm not looking for anything until I find "it". I cant say what "it" is until then, "it" is just that feeling you get, that "click" you feel with someone that you know you could have more with. Who knows? I could find it today, maybe not for another 10years. Till then I'm just gonna live my life and enjoy it as best I can.

The things that are important to me to find in friends (or more) are mutual respect and understanding. Not just in the early stages of the relationship but through out. The ability to see compromise as giving a little to get alot is key. If you can't wrap your head around what you are gaining and can only focus on what you give up ...move on.

Please; no drinkers. Social is fine. Iv been recently involved with someone who turned out to be a very heavy drinker. I'm not going through that again.

I'm not gonna sit here and lie and pretend I don't have any baggage. At this point in my life I doubt if anybody would believe me anyway. I don't expect the people I meet to be a clean slate either. What I do ask is that you at least try and have said emotional baggage reduced to carry on. Ya dig? lol

PS, I cant spell worth a damn and Im not into cybersex (I cant type with 2 hands much less one) so don't even try and please if you don't have a public pic on your profile make sure you do have one that you can send me privately. There are way too many people in cyber space that pretend to be something they are not to play games. I'm honest about everything (my flaws included) please be the same!

PPS If you email me and I don't get back to you or I take a while to get back to you please PLEASE don't take it personally. I really am a busy guy and sometimes I'm only able to give my mail a quick glance and may not have time to reply right away.

First date eh? This is so hard to sum up because its not simply a black and white question. To me a perfect first date depends on the lady I'm taking out. In the past Ive taken a lady to The Art Gallery of Ontario and dinner at a sidewalk cafe and another time it was horseback riding. The only things that are a must to me are that we be able to talk and get to know each other (movies are bad first dates) and that it be relaxed and casual. It must be something that will allow us to laugh.
