I recently moved here from Texas where I had been working for the last year and 1/2. I am proudly from the Midwest and miss my family and great friends there. Self employment is great but it does not provide much opportunity to meet people... in person that is. I am all for dating and am completely open to the possibility of a solid, functional relationship if the stars are aligned so to speak. I'm not too comfortable "selling" myself so I will share what my best friend's wife wrote in an email to me last week after they were here for a visit. "You are a wonderful man, a great friend and an awesome father".

I'm a restaurant freak and always enjoy finding that great little off the beaten path place before the masses find it and cause two hour waits. I am a student of the human mind and love deep,honest, and humorous conversation. Since deep and honest is something that has to be built up to, humorous works just fine for starters.
