I love to hang out, watch a movie, go for a walk, grab a beer or get dinner.

most likely i will not message you first. i'm very shy and tend to get discouraged when i message someone only for her to check my profile and ignore me. maybe i'm not good looking enough or you don't like the fact i have a son part time. whatever the case, i don't send many messages.

i expect to exchange numbers and meet at some point. isn't that why we're here? i don't move fast, in fact you can set the pace in that regard, but at least you know my expectations.

i have tattoos which are religious in nature, but i don't consider myself a religious person.

my least favorite line in an argument is "if you don't know i'm not going to tell you." or "i want you to figure it out." like any guy i misread a lady's signals or intentions almost constantly, so i love communication and structure. on monday i'd like to know what you'd like to do on thursday. that comes from working full time, usually into the evening or later, and having a toddler son on my only two days off :)

i tend to be a bit snappy at times. i'm not a jerk, but occasionally lethargic or i'm thinking about too much, or my sarcasm is a little too dry.

being a part time dad. i've been working full time since age 18, and currently i'm working full time at a major grocery store in a supervisor role. trying to get lucky then maybe in a few years (or less) be a manager. middle management, that's for me! after work I like to watch some tv, a movie, occasional drink, or whatever any friends want to do. nothing beats racing thru ur work day just to spend time with a special someone though.

making u laugh, texting, staying active, and being a dad. i'm also really good at being cynical and negative (even though i'm really just a big softie). i'm really good with all kids, since i'm just a big kid in general :) and i give the absolute best foot massages too.

if i'm smiling w/ wide eyes, you know i'm in a good mood. i've been told i spread happiness, haha. also my puffy hair and crooked smile

chronicles of narnia are w/out a doubt my fav books of all time. the unmaking of Elvis Presley, and any bathroom readers edition. i don't read a lot of books.

movies: step brothers, national treasures 1 and 2, the bourne trilogy, taken, princess bride, dodgeball, batman begins (but not dark knight), and anything really funny.

tv show: american dad, the office, wipeout, shark tank, old school family guy, stand up comedy and pro wrestling (yes...) are some of my favorite things to watch.

favorite foods are peanut butter (i eat it like yogurt), homemade chicken wraps, salt n vinegar chips, or rice, chicken, and veggies stir fry. i also make a mean sausage dip. trust me it's delicious.

my son
my iphone (not ashamed, haha)
my laptop (still not ashamed...)
my job
caffeine
good company

if true love really exists, what to do tonight, what's for dinner, if i'll ever have my love story. i like to think about friends to visit, board or card game parties, like phase 10 or apples to apples (hey, i'm old haha).

i usually have my son friday night so i spend time w/ him and make a small dinner at home (company is welcome). they're usually quiet nights unless I'm feeling particularly ambitious/have a sitter. if you'r bored or lonely on friday night we should talk! :)

i'll talk to u and laugh w/ u all u want, but if/when the time comes u'll have to make the first move.

also i came from a low income family growing up, so i have a crooked smile which embarrasses me. that might ruin a lot of messaging ladies right there but... you'd know soon enough if we ever met...

you appreciate a guy who doesn't want a fling, who is interested in building a connection and friendship and having some fun on the way. also message me if anything sounds interesting, you think i'm cute, you've never heard a justin bieber song in your life, you randomly quote Michael Scott, you're a big Three Stooges fan, or your favorite elvis song is after 1960 and not suspicious minds
