I'm a pretty laid back guy, have a good sense of humor and like to have fun, and am very easy to get along with. I like the outdoors, movies (in or out), and I'm a very open and honest person.

I have my son full-time and he's going to third grade. He is and always will be my #1. If you can't deal with that, then kindly re-cast your line. I graduated with a Master's degree last summer and am currently not even close to using it. I do have a decent full-time job (salaried, M-F) that is something that could be a career, but it's just simply not what I want to do for the next 35 years.

A few other things about me.... I definitely go after what I want. I've made mistakes in my life, but I think I've learned from at least most of them. I'm sure I'll make more. Nobody's perfect...and I don't expect you to be either. I accept people for who they are and I base my feelings of that person on how they are with me and my son, not on their past. I've had my son full time since he was about a year old, and I don't have a ton of friends any more, but I'm ok with that. Those I have are great and I wouldn't trade one of them for the world.

I'm looking for someone who's comfortable with what I have to offer and who just wants to spend time with me, get to know me, have some fun, and see how things go.

And yes, I know my pictures aren't the greatest, but I generally don't like getting my picture taken and that's about the best of what I got! :)

Ok, let's talk a little about the history of dating (I do have a point to this). Way back before computers and the internet (like 12 or 14 years ago), there was this thing called meeting people in person, deciding you were interested, then getting together. Let's look at some examples:
-- Prehistoric times: Man walks up to pretty woman, clubs her on head, drags back by hair to cave.
-- Ancient Egypt: "Hey, is that a pyramid in your cloth diaper thing or are you just happy to see me?"
-- Medievel times: "Do you have the plague? No, good, let's party like it's 999."
-- The (Austin Powers) 1970's: "Let's shag baby!"

Ok, hopefully you got a chuckle out of those. If you're still following me here, here's the point: All throughout history, relationships initially started by a physical attraction. Ok, well, maybe not in medievel times so much.... However, call me old fashioned, but that still holds true for me. I have to be attracted to you for it to work. In other words, having pics up or at least having some that you can send are needed. It's really only fair....

I'd say most first dates are the usual -- dinner and a drink or a movie. They give you time to talk and get to know each other a little. If you get to know the person a little more, sometimes you can do something a little different and maybe have some fun, like going to an amusement park, strolling through a museum, or whatever!
