My friends say that im the guy that has to go up to strangers and start conversations for them. I like making children and little old ladies laugh. I like witty sarcasm, but not to the point of rudeness. Im honest to a fault. I'm really happy with where I am and dont want to get serious or change anything until I meet that special woman. I will definitely know when I meet her (and hopefully she will know it too and not kick me in the gonads or spray me with pepper spray LOL). I dont have a problem with getting dates, I guess I just cant find FUN dates (as in, please make me laugh,and lets not make the date feel like a job interview). It would be great to find a woman that I could make plans with and go see a show, hit a pub, maybe the Zoo. Anything to get to know someone slowly. Fools rush in, so im not in any hurry and I refuse to settle, that wouldnt be fair to either of us. Im independent and confident (so you better be too), but not to the point of conceit. Now if you have issues or dont know what you want, I DO have some friends I could hook you up with (insert evil grin). Lets see, what else? I have a 17 year old daughter (if you consider this "baggage", move on to the next ad) that I raised by myself and just happens to be the coolest, sweetest girl in Michigan (think i'm partial?) I also have the worlds smartest dog (or at least he thinks so) and a deaf cat that is incredibly perceptive. THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: My daughter first, but thats a given. Discovering a faded $20 in the dryer when I do laundry. Finding an extra chicken nugget in a 6 piece. Opening Day. Doing something ive never done before. Taking the top down on my Jeep. Being the "cool Dad". Laughing children. A smile from a sexy stranger. Openminded, funny women. THING THAT MAKE ME SAD:That feeling when you stub your toe in the middle of the night and it doesnt hurt but you know it will, in like 5 seconds. Hypocrites. Finding only FIVE nuggets in a 6 piece. Condescending people. Those damn no-turn-on-red stoplights. Bad Milk. Putting the top back UP on my Jeep. French fries with no ketchup. Liars/Cheaters. When I cant help my daughter because I know she has to learn some things for herself

Next, what am I looking for? Thats one tough question to answer, but ill try my best to answer. I guess I'm looking for a best friend/partner/lover. Trust is HUGE for me, id rather hear the honest truth then a lie, "been there, done that", and its not for me lol Someone that believes the 5 most important qualities for a healthy relationship are: Chemistry, Trust, Loyalty, Communication and Respect. Ive met some really terrific women so far but I guess you never know who you'll fall in love with and who will become dear friends. When I meet new people, I dont judge and I dont have any expectations. So on a lighter note, how about a cheesy poem?......"I'd like to find someone who knows just how i think, that will flash me a smile and a cute lil wink. Someone who makes me want to be a better man, someone not afraid to drink beer straight from the can. Someone who'll stay young, at least in the heart, looks arent important, but its sure a good start. Someone who would appreciate breakfast in bed, not someone who is always messing with my head. Someone to match my competitive side, and hopefully your booty won't be real wide. Someone that has that feisty charm, someone to hold close under my arm. Someone who'll help me cook my favorite food without haste, the effort is whats sexy, its not in the taste. Someone that would love to just be adored, and be creative like me so we both wont get bored. Someone that i'll want to do anything for, and then when i'm done, i'll want to do more. Im just a fun guy who rarely gets mad, so give me a shout and reply to my ad"
