About Me
Been a while since I tweaked my profile; figured it was time...I'm a single dad of an autistic child. I quit a $100,***a year job to have that child with me, so that should tell you where he ranks. I'm easy to get along with. I'm quiet, and while I love conversation, I also like quiet time at home. I very seldom drink, and I don't do drugs. As a rule of thumb, I don't like many people. I don't hand our very many pails or shovels to my sandbox; I'm not opposed to sharing, just very selective about who I share with.I spent a lot of years as a paramedic. I've had a six week old baby die on me, so trust me, nothing you can say will shock me. I blame being a medic (although I loved every minute of it), for making me the person I am today. I see a world changing in front of my eyes, and I don't like the changes.Not into "big girls" (sorry if that bruised an ego or 25, just the way it is). I'm sure there's a guy out there for you, it just isn't me... I'm not a sex freak at all, not 18 anymore. There's a time and a place for everything, so attraction is certainly important. Did I fail to mention that I'm sarcastic, cynical and outspoken? I'm also not into people of the same sex or inter-racial dating. Again, fine for some, just not my thing. I don't care a thing about threesomes, swinging or trading partners. I'm a creature of habit. I like to watch the same old(er) movies over and over, I have a pretty set list of TV shows that I watch, and I listen to the same music all the time. I like the restaurants that I like, and while I'm not opposed to learning about new places, I'm perfectly content with the ones that I frequent. I'm not into staying up all night, if I have my choice, in bed by 11pm is fine by me, 10pm is even better. I know how to cook, clean, pay bills, budget money, do laundry and raise my child. I don't really "need" anything from a relationship, other than the companionship component, Things go wrong, and people change (if they didn't, I wouldn't be divorced). Fortunately, I'm lucky enough to have an ex-wife who is a best friend these days (which is important, as we each have one child from our marriage--..). I want someone who can read me. I'm not a complicated person, in fact I always say that I am simply complex. I (like everyone else) have my quirks; figure them out, and I read like a well written book. I may do something a certain way 99 times, and then different the 100th time, but rest assured, I had a good reason. I want the person who KNOWS when that 100th time is coming, and without having to ask, just understands WHY I did whatever I did differently.I'm certain there's someone, somewhere, that would change my mind about what I want out of life, but in the 4 years since my divorce, I ain't found her yet. Ok, here we go. I like the normal stuff, dinner, walk on the beach, drinks. Concerts, amusement parks, the zoo. Busch Gardens is a fave. To me, it's not WHAT you do, it's WHO you do it with. If I meet a girl with no legs, probably NOT going to suggest water skiing... I usually leave it up to them anyway.
