Alright here we go :) My name is Eddie and I am a 29 sgm. I've been back in Ohio for just over a year now and will openly admit I dislike it here. I moved away from Ohio in 2000 and from the time I moved until I moved back I lived in three different cities: NYC, Mt. Pleasant, MI and St. Petersburg, FL. I have an awesome son who I have sole custody of. He's 10 and in 5th grade. A lot of guys are freaked by that and I think I understand but won't get into that on here :) The man that comes into my life just needs to know that my heart is big enough for him and my son and I know how to balance. I guess I will write a little about my past relationships. To make it short, I've was in one relationship for three years and two others for 1 year each. There were periods where I've dated a few months but things just weren't right I guess. My past relationships have left their mark on me some good, some bad. I learned from each and don't regret them. I don't compare boyfriends never have, never will. I am a honest, loyal, commited guy. I look for the same in a partner. I'm a very intuitive guy and can usually "feel" rather quickly if a relationship won't work. I would consider the fact that I tend to over-anaylize my biggest character flaw. I'm working on that but by nature I am a "thinker". Hmmm my match...I would like to take things slow but not too slow, if that even makes sense. I want a man who on our first date goes to dinner with me and instead of thinking he's coming back to my place for sex grabs my hand, pulls me close, and kisses me. I guess it's a little "old-fashioned" or whatever. My match would have to be completely out. Not being out at work I could probably deal with but as far as friends and family go it's a must. The reason for this is i have dated someone in the past who was not out and it felt like I was being pushed back into the closet. I'm proud of who I am and want my partner to be also.
