I'm here to make friends first. If something happens from there, I'm open to it. And let's be honest, most of you ladies have several messages waiting in your inbox every time you log in anyway. In your profile, most of you are asking a guy to prove that he's different from everyone else, that we're not all the same. The truth is, there's no way you're going to know that unless you talk to me. All I can say that is if you give me a shot, I won't disappoint you. I'm not out for anything less than something real and genuine. I'm through playing games and I'm ready to spend time with someone special.

I believe highly in Karma. If you're good to others and live an honest life, good things will happen to you. I can be a little shy at first, but after getting to know someone I tend to get over that pretty quick. I love to laugh and have fun. I try my best to be optimistic on my outlook in life. While I do try and plan ahead, I tend to live life in the moment.

During football season I spend Sundays with friends and family watching football. I'm a Browns fan, even if the years haven't been kind to us since '99. I like to go out to the movies, but usually with company. My favorite TV shows are 24, Lost, Heroes, House, Scrubs and True Blood. I love animals of all kinds, despite the fact that I'm allergic to cats and dogs (I grew up with both in the house anyway). I own three ferrets.

I'm happy going out or staying in, but I try to be a very active person and spend some time outdoors. I love nothing better than to go out and throw a football around with a friend or have a cookout at the park.

I'm looking for someone who knows what they want. My biggest disappointment in a relationship has been finding out the other person has absolutely no goals in life. That person needs to have the ability to be independent, but at the same time if they've got a problem I want to be the person that's there for them. I want that person to be able to be open and honest with me all the time, not just when it's convenient. That's what I give and it's what I'd like back. I can't tolerate liars. I'm looking for the woman I can settle down with someday. I know exactly what I'm looking for in a person.

If you want to know more you should just contact me. I'm usually online during the evenings on the messenger below, so you can catch me there too.

The first date could be anything as long as I'm getting to know the person I'm with. Dinner, drinks, a movie.. Whatever you're comfortable with.
