"Mongo no know...have something to do with where choo-choo go."
.... .... ....
"Mongo no know. Mongo just pawn in game of life."
Sometimes I think we all feel a little misunderstood like Mongo. And if you don't know who I'm referring to, well, we might still get along, but it could be iffy...
At the prodding of my friends, I've finally added more about me on here - call me old fashioned, but I'm more of a show than tell kind of guy...words are too easy to read into the wrong way.
I'm a single father of two energetic young boys. I don't say that to make you think they will be around when we are together - in fact, they probably won't be, ever. I say that with all kindness. I had to sit and watch, helping where I could, as they dealt with the separation anxiety of their mother leaving. They are young, sweet, impressionable boys and it is not fair, should things not work out between us, to force them to go through that all over again...I can't do that.
I'm also not looking for a replacement...I'm looking for a true partner/companion/equal...I'm looking for me, not for them. The "them" part will come at the right time if it's meant to be.
I work in retail selling adventure gear/equipment to crazy adventure types, like-the-idea-of-crazy-but-not-quite-there types similar to myself and to those who've never done this before but want to try it out and don't know where to start. It doesn't pay a lot, but it doesn't have to. I think it's one of the best/amazing jobs in the world. It affords me a few weekdays off but not full weekends. It's a trade off, but a good one in my opinion. Weekends aren't out of the question - but the fewer that fall, the more enjoyable/appreciative I am of them. I may not have loads of dating time, as my boys come first, but I try to make the best of what I have, and put everything I can into it.. I'm getting outdoors more and more just like I did growing up. Mountain biking, hiking, parks, islands, beaches...it's all open for business. So is curling up on the couch over a good show/movie/book/just existing next to you. So, even though I love to get out, I'm not an every weekend in the rough kind of guy - I like me some good room service too! If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, and you don't mind a good sense of humor, silliness tossed in with a dash of wit, and the occasional grade-school humor/smart-ass remark or comment, I just might be the man for you.
I think physical attraction is just as important to have, though hard to understand when you feel constantly rejected. But you never know without asking - and I'm always one to answer back, even if it takes a while to do so. If I'm not feeling it, I'm not feeling it. The last thing I'll do is lead it on or leave it to that awkward silence....
;)
