I'm 39, I own the house I grew up in, in the south burbs of Chicago. I have a 12 yr old son, who's definately my pride & joy. I like to cook, go bowling, watch movies, or do anything fun. I'm just waiting for the RIGHT girl to do these things with. I like girls who are not afraid to be themselves, who like to go out & have a good time, or some nights don't mind staying in for a quiet night together. I must add that she also has to like to eat because I love to go out for nice dinners. I'm also very open to many other activities. I like girls with a sense of humor, who are caring, and considerate of others. I accept people for who they are and I like people who do the same. I'm very laid back and easy going, but I'm not reserved or shy in ANY way. If you're the shy type or if you get embarrassed easily, I might not be the guy you're looking for because I'm not a very private person. I also have no problem answering questions about myself at all & I don't hesitate to say what's on my mind. If there's anything else you'd like to know about me, by all means, ask.
