Date men and women from United States / California, 43 year old - page 6

Date single man from California, United States. I am honest, caring, loyal, faithful, and playful. I work and play hard - anything worth doing is worth doing with everything you have (including love). I am financially stable and responsible.
I am a full-time single dad, but they are in their later teens and living their own lives. 19 year old Daughter (On her own); 17 year old Daughter (100%) 15 year old Son (80%) still at home. I am looking for an adult with which to spend time, have fun, converse, cuddle hold.
I enjoy good food, good beer, and I'm learning to enjoy good wine. I love to laugh, and find humor in many things. I love the outdoors, music, and water. I enjoy a healthy lifestyle, but am not hung up on perfection. I enjoy the challenge of a hard workout (CrossFit) and the satisfaction of completing it.
I love camping, especially the smell of cooking bacon in the crisp mountain air. I love an ocean sunset and the peaceful sound of the waves hitting the beach.
I am a die-hard SF Giants and Piitsburgh Steelers fan, but not a "gotta-watch-the-game/ESPN-update-my-fantasy-leagu
e" guy.
I am looking for someone real, honest, with grounded priorities, who can accept me for who I am (and who I'm not), and capable of giving love back.

Date men and women from California, United States. My idea of a perfect day is spent on a lake somewhere with my kids, family and friends. Enjoying each other's company, and having a blast on the water. I enjoy the outdoors, but I also enjoy a nice quiet evening at home. My kids mean the world to me. I don't want to waste my time and life playing games. I am in a secure job, and able to provide for my little ones and myself.
My match must have a heartbeat and a job, just kidding. My match must accept my children first and foremost. I am looking for someone who is simple, honest, and no baggage from previous relationships. Enjoying the outdoors is a must. Willing to try new experiences and having a good time while doing it.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. Tell me with only one shot at catching your interest amongst the multitude of e-mails and winks that come your way, it's not easy knowing what to write here. I could leave out something important we have in common and then I've missed my chance. And that's really what it all comes down to, chance. Right? So if by chance something I've written piques your interest or makes you quietly say to yourself "me too", it would be great to hear from you.
Smelling the ocean before you see it. Watching a dog be a dog. Reading something that could change the course of history or simply discovering that you aren't alone in your thoughts. Saving someone from embarrassment by taking it on yourself. Breath-taking views in foreign lands. The tranquility of dusk as the sun sets and the sky turns to a kaleidoscope of colors only nature can create. Crossword puzzles or scrabble at the beach. Surfing, but not being a surfer, dude. Hearing live music in small clubs or under the stars. Movies and theater that captivate your thoughts and test your emotions. Being true to your word. Margaritas under the sun. Exercising outdoors. Focusing on what you have instead of what you don't. Laughing at yourself. Knowing you can handle whatever life challenges you with. Preparing a home cooked meal. Fresh flowers. Big juicy red wine and dark chocolate. PDA because you can't help yourself. The smell of sun and sea that perfumes you after a day at the beach. Squishing mud, sand, grapes, or grass between your toes. Walking instead of driving. Communicating with a foreigner despite speaking different languages. Helping someone in need. Surprising someone with thoughtfulness. Knowing your friends won't let you down. Thunderstorms and lightening viewed from a dark room with the smell of rain wafting through the open window. Art because of the way it moves you solely. And most of all, being able to share these and the countless other joys in life with someone dear.
Lastly, I believe understanding, humor, perspective, and trust are the bedrock of a lasting partnership where two people are each others biggest supporters and confidants. That shared philosophy is what I’m looking for in a Match. I hope that if you are someone who appreciates what I've said you won't hesitate to write to me if I haven't discovered your profile first.
more about yourself!

Date a man from California, United States. I'm a single dad and my kids live with me full time, plus the work thing. I do get to work out of my home so that helps a lot with the kids. I go all over the place for work but I do get home almost every night. I'm looking for someone to spend time with and start building a relationship. I'm looking for the right person for me and my family. My three kids are all getting older now, (the older two are just starting college) and I seem to have more free time for myself. Don't get me wrong they still keep me pretty busy.
I have worked at the same company for the past 17 years.
Something about me, I have no decorating skills. My friend picked out my wall paint colors, because no one has just white walls. My cousin's wife got me a mirror so that I would have something on my walls. My sister in law is always trying get me to do something. Needless to say that I live in a house that is not decorated.
So if all of that doesn't scare you off then let's see what comes next.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Just taking a look at this site. Love to laugh and enjoy life. I have no agenda here but I do enjoy meeting new people. Grew up in the midwest and new to the area via the East Coast and don't know to many people here. I have a pretty demanding job and sometimes travel a lot with it, sometimes too much. I'm educated, professional, have a great sense of humor and easy to get along with. I enjoy surfing in the summer and snow skiing in the winter. I love a good wine and good conversation! Friends and fun! Carpe Diem!

Date single man from United States. I am outgoing, funny, have a very positive attitude and enjoy life to the fullest. I had been very focused on my career and enjoyed a tremendous amount of professional and financial success admittedly to the detriment of my personal life. I am at a point in my life where I am ready to devote the time necessary to foster and build a successful relationship. I am well educated and well traveled. Family and friends are extremely important to me. I am one of those terminally happy and positive people and i believe true love is a friendship gone wild.
My ideal match is intelligent, educated (school or life), caring, affectionate, kind, has a wonderful sense of humor, loves to laugh, is comfortable at high-end event or in a corner bar listening to live music. She can dress up or throw on a t-shirt and jeans and head out. I want someone with a real passion for life, who is extremely positive, great sense of humor, who is confident enough to be kind and nurturing and really does see life as an adventure. I want a relationship built on trust, honesty, open communication and a deep, genuine affection and respect for each other.
I am new to SF so I am open to meeting new people even if we may not seem like the "one" for each other. You can never have too many good friends.

Meet people from United States. Taking a look at my life at the moment, I can't complain too much. I have a fantastic family, a great group of friends, a good job, and can look back on many great memories. Although I always seem to keep myself busy and be doing something socially, it would be great to find that someone to share my life with and create new memories with.
Having grown up in the great weather of southern California, it is probably not too surprising that I love to be outside and be active. I'm an avid cyclist, but Ill do most anything to get me out and about. A nice hike, a bit of tennis, soccer, or volleyball, skiing/snowboarding, or simply taking a drive to see somewhere new, you can count me in. As much as I like to be on the go, I do like to slow things down at times. A meal with good company and conversation always works and I'm a sucker for a good movie whether it is at the theater or at home relaxing on the couch.
I always cherish time spent with family and friends. As I get older, it seems like this is something I value more and more. I am pretty easy-going and try not to stress over the little things that are thrown my way. Although I will fight for what I believe in and won't compromise my values, I always try to keep an open mind and will try to take a look at things from someone else's point of view.
Ideally I'd like to find someone who likes to live life, not just sit back and watch it pass them by. Someone who has a good sense of humor, places a high priority on their relationships with those close to them, and values honesty and good communication.

Date men and women from United States. I believe life is a kaleidescope of experience that is constantly unfolding. I try to appreciate and enjoy that unfolding as much as possible while remaining fit and dedicated to my career. I enjoy constantly learning about other cultures, nature, places, people, science, and the wonder that life holds. My goals are long term and I alway try to progress up the levels towards those goals.
My perfect match would be some one down to earth and caring. Must have good eclectic tastes and have respect for herself. She would be physically active, enjoy the arts and intellectual pursuits. Must like socializing and appreciate well designed spaces. The hardest thing of all to find is someone you click with who has a vibrant spiritual center. People too often focus on qualities that do not last but someone with a strong internal dynamic well stand the test of time and improve with age. Having similar goals is also important. When a couple works together instead of at odds there is nothing they cannot get from life.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Thanks for taking the time to see what I have to say. If you find me interesting don't hesitate to respond.
I'm outgoing, if I find myself at a party, or gathering of people, I don't know, it's not a problem. I'm very good at making friends and starting conversations. There are alot of great people out there, I figure, why not meet some of them. You never know who you might meet.
So what exactly am I looking for? I don't know if it's possible to explain, I think it's more of a feeling you get when you truely meet someone special, but I'll try to explain.
I don't care if you have blonde, brown or blue hair. To me it's the entire package. I want to find that someone, that when I've been away on business and I see them, I can't wait to give them a big hug and kiss. Personality is extremly important. I've meet plenty of people who maybe attractive on the outside, but aren't all that great on the inside.
I have a reputation for being dependable with my friends, I rarely turn down a friend in need. I think that says alot about a person, so my match would have to have some of the same values. My father set a good example for me growing up, he was an honest man and always tried to do the right thing. I may come off as the preverbial nice guy, but I'm definetly one of the guys. I just believe in being a good friend.
I hope that sheds a little light on on me. If what I've said makes any sense to you, tell me why, I'd like to know.

Date a man from United States. I am a reasonably intelligent guy that enjoys being active, (staying healthy and in shape) traveling...appreciating nature and different cultures, weekends away, and fine dinning with a good bottle of wine. I can go from a suit to sweats, am confident in my abilities and myself, but not self-absorbed about it. I love to have fun, and am passionate about what I do! I believe character, integrity and honesty matter in a relationship (as it does in all things we do). I have learned that life is just too short to worry about the small stuff, which is why I think having a sense of humor and being able to see what REALLY matters in life is so important!
I am looking for a "friendship first" relationship that is based on mutual respect and trust. I am fortunate enough that my current life situation allows me to be somewhat spontaneous and I would like someone that is not afraid of a little spontaneity from time-to-time. I have learned the hard way from my past experience(s), that one of the most important aspects of a relationship is our compatability. If two people don't share most of the same interests, it just is not going to work, a couple should compliment each other...where each can learn and grow from the other. It's also important to have a sense of humor and passion for each other! I have a wonderful life, and am looking for a partner that loves her life as well, but knows it can be so much more when shared with the right person!

Meet someone special from United States. Although physical attraction is important to me, I’m most interested in a woman who is employed in a job that she genuinely enjoys, lives a healthy lifestyle and is looking for a partner to enhance and compliment her already satisfying life. I’m looking for a woman who tends to be organized, neat and has a fashionable sense of style. I am actively involved in philanthropy which allows me to both create a positive change in the world and travel to some fascinating places that one wouldn't typically see as a tourist. I feel very fortunate to have been successful in my business career which provides me the opportunity to make a significant impact in an area of philanthropy that I am interested in - sustainable change in developing countries. I have been running consistently since I was in college and 20 miles a week for the last 15 years so that is not a hobby I recently took up to make my Match profile look good. I have run 3 marathons. I play golf about once a week because I love being outdoors and, as long as you walk, its good exercise too. I'm looking for someone who likes to travel. I do prefer to travel luxuriously (five star hotels, etc.), but I also love the beauty of the natural world. If you are comfortable going places where there is nowhere to plug your hair dryer, then you’ll enjoy those kinds of trips.
