I have always wanted to have a child, I want to be the type of Dad who wakes up stupidly early to take my child to some sporting event and moan with the other parents at how early it is, teach them to cook, push them to be the best version of themselves, to love dogs and to laugh and be happy.

I am an only child myself, with not much family or experience with children, other than my friends kids who I love. I just know deep in my bones I'm meant to be a dad.

I am extremely single. I've struggled to find a partner who wants kids and it's just never quite happened for me. I have a good middle management job and ambitions to go into bigger and better things.

I am only interested in a 50/50 style arrangement. I want to be a part of my child's life, take an active role and share all responsibilities.

I am based currently in the Southampton area, originally from Kent. I would be willing to relocate within reason for the right co-parent match, however I'd always want to be within driving distance of Kent (2-3 hours) as it is important for me to be within driving distance of my parents.

The most important thing for me however, is having an amazing relationship with the mother. I am not looking to rush into this. A friendship needs to be formed, boundaries need to be set and a common understanding needs to be met.
