About me: I'm 36, white, 5'8", 190 lbs, shaved head/goatee. I'm VERY single/clean/responsible/nice/polite/hard working/loyal/HONEST....the list goes on. My picture is available upon request, but I'm definitely not ugly. I have an honest job, my own car, no criminal background, and an easy going demeanor. I've been single for almost two years now, and have dated in that time, but haven't found THE one for me. I absolutely adore kids of all ages, so yes, I will date a single mom. I live a healthy lifestyle (no, not vegetarian..I'm saying I have no self-destructive habits). I currently live in the Palmetto/Ellenton area. What do I do for fun? I like to shoot pool, see live music (newer country and hard rock/heavy metal are my faves), I like stand up comedy (tv or live is good), doing tricks on my BMX bike is fun. I've been known to bowl. I like cooking and eating. Catching a movie that doesn't suck can be enjoyable, but I hate going to movie theaters alone, so it's usually a DVD. I like learning new things, so I have taken singing lessons, and would like to learn salsa dancing. I'm also open minded to learning things you like to do, but you're only testing your make up on me, if I get to return the favor on you! LOL! In other great news, I can honestly say I will bring zero drama to your life. This is not an attempt to get laid. I can GET laid, with no problem. I have a desire to fall in love and be loved. It's as simple as that. About you: You're FEMALE, NICE, POLITE, RESPONSIBLE, HONEST, and SINGLE. You're somewhere between the ages of 25-40. You're height/weight proportionate (I like anywhere between a size 0-12). Nothing against you heavier women or BBW's, but I'm not sexually attracted to that. You have a great smile and sparkly eyes. I need a woman who is physically active and can keep up with me. Sometimes I'm exciting, sometimes I'm boring. We can't always be on the go...lol. I don't really care how tall you are, or what race you are. I do care that you want to actually MEET, and if things go well, spend time with me. I'm not asking for twelve phone calls a day or to even see you or talk to you every day. I just want someone who wants to be appreciated, and appreciates me. I feel compelled to offer the following comments based upon my recent experiences from craigslist. I was blessed to be contacted by some very nice, very high quality, and very attractive ladies from my last posting. I have nothing but positive things to say about them. But, since it seemed as though nothing more than a platonic relationship was established with any of them, I want to get this out. I am in this to find a real girlfriend. Not a texting/picture trading buddy whom I have to wait several weeks to go face to face with. I am as patient as a man can be, but everyone's time is valuable. I completely understand that life in general can get in the way (family visiting, kids, illness, etc.), but when two people like each other, you find time. If you're contemplating contacting me, and have the atude of "what the hell, I have nothing better to do"....don't bother. I want a woman who can see that I am exactly the type of guy she wants in her life and isn't afraid to come get it. I'm not saying I will smother you or demand all of your attention. Far from it. I'm saying I expect an interested woman to not make me do all the calling, and that it would be nice to hear from her at least every other day or so. Calling me after a week of nothing makes me feel like more of a pest than anything. Especially if we hit it off well during our first few calls. Just be real with me, and it will be returned.
