Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Frederick, 44 year old

Date men and women from Frederick, United States. I am a pretty "average guy" that enjoy's life to it's fullest. I am a single dad w/3 kids ( 1 of @ college, 2nd one leaving this fall - 2011)) I'd like to think I have more time now to devote towards a freindship/relationship, my kids will always be a priority for me, but they do alot of their own thing now sooo. I'd like to find a lady that would be my best friend, someone I can laugh with, have a good time, enjoy one anothers company. I don't want any games, any drama - Just would like to keep things simple, easy and no crazy, wavked out stuff.
As for me, I can be a big kid myself at times, I like to laugh, smile, tease and play and Iwould like my "friend" to have the same positive outlook on life. I am a very open person, (I like to think) honest, sincere and romantic - but words can not prove those attributes, but I am willing to take the time and effort to show you that I can be all those things.
A little about what I am looking for - I want a woman that is confident in herself, is over any past relationships, she can communicate openly about things, likes to laugh and just be goofy at times, and wants to be around me - just because she likes me & enjoys my company.
I have no desire to control anybodies life (I have 3 I already control) - I am not the jeolous type, if you want to go out with the boys from work for a beer - have a good time! - I generally trust someone until they give me a reason not to and I am not going to freak out about guy friends or what your doing every minute of every day. I tend to be very open about stuff - I think communication is a key to making a relationship work, and I just don't think being serious about everything all the time is the way to be - I like to be silly, goofy a big kid when I can.
I Don't want to sound rude or flip here - but the one thing that annoys me on this site is that I send a message out, and then nothing - here's the thing, I am a big boy I totally get every woman has her "type's", likes & dislikes etc. seriously...if I am not your type, or whatever that's totally OK!! but please be curtious & send a simple naw, not interested message back if I contact ya - please.

Meet a soulmate from Frederick, United States.
I have been around the world and enjoy trying new things. (just about anything once)
I am pretty easy going. I have strong opinions and act on them if action is needed.
God, family and friends in that order.
I am shy when I meet someone but very outgoing with the public in my job.
Sarcasm is underated.
I REALY dislike drama.
Love to laugh and make others laugh.
I have not been on the dating scene for decades so this is outside my comfort zone.
