Meet a man from Alameda, United States. I would say I am easy going and like to enjoy life and get things done. I am a bay area native, so have lots of family and friends to have fun with but am missing that significant someone in my life to share the everyday and every thing. Looking forward to the miracle of discovering someone I will love and cherish forever. If interested in getting to know me, please reach out and I will get back to you as soon as I can if I think we have potential.
Date single man from Alameda, United States. About me: intelligent, with a good sense of humor (at least I think so :), down-to-earth, only slightly nerdy. I work in software sales, but in my spare time, I'd rather be outdoors -- hiking in the East Bay hills, bicycling, taking my puppy for a walk, gardening, having a barbecue with friends.
I love to travel -- I've been to Europe, all over Central America, been to Brazil, and to Hong Kong, and of course, Hawaii -- my favorite island being the Big Island. Last time I was there we got within six feet of flowing lava! I really enjoy snorkeling, and have done a bit of scuba diving as well.
So, who am I looking for? An intelligent, adventurous woman with a good sense of humor (laughing at my jokes is optional). Hopefully you love music... You enjoy hiking, bicycling, beaches, just generally being outdoors enjoying the beauty of nature. You enjoy good food, dining out at fancy restaurants as well as hole-in-the-wall type places, and you'll tolerate my cooking for you on occasion -- I've been told I make excellent chicken enchiladas, and am always happy to grill up a nice NY Steak! You are someone who wants to be best friends and lovers -- ready to embark on a long-lasting, deeply satisfying emotional, intellectual, and spiritual relationship.
Meet men and women from Alameda, United States. That really nice, romantic guy with a great sense of humor that you haven't been able to find and are beginning to think doesn't exist...well, don't give up the search just yet. Here I am. The reason you haven't met me yet is because I have just moved back to the Bay Area after 10 years of living overseas - the past year in England and a little more than 9 years in Japan prior to that.
I am a divorced father of three, having my two oldest sons (16 & 14 y/o) living with me and my 11 y/o daughter living in Japan with her mother, for the time being. I've just left a very large international financial information company after six and a half years - while I enjoyed my time there I realized that I am not a big company kind of guy, but rather enjoy smaller, more nimble companies (part of the reason I've returned to the Bay Area). Also grew tired of spending 20-25 days a month on the road - although it allowed me to visit a number of places across Asia.
I love to laugh. Often. And loudly. Often laugh at myself. Consider myself very romantic. Love to hold hands. Not afraid of PDAs. Rather enjoy them actually. Enjoy cuddling on the couch. Prefer a night in to a night out, but that doesn't mean I want to be a hermit. Love (LOVE!) live music, the theater, museums and the like. Enjoy comedies whether they be movies or tv (Community and Happy Endings have been on my 'don't miss' list for a while). Consider myself an avid classic movie fan - Casablanca, The Thin Man, most any Hitchcock film or anything with Cary Grant.
Why am I here? I guess its because I am looking for someone who knows what she wants from life. I'm way past the 'game playing' stage of life. Not interested in the bar scene or those with a short term outlook. Looking for a relationship that has depth and character to it. Absolutely willing to put in the time and effort if my counterpart is. Want someone who understands that time is a precious resource and needs to be treated as such. Carefully screening those who ask it from you but then sharing it abundantly and without hesitation with that special person when you do find them. Must be completely honest, painfully honest. As that is exactly what you'll get from me.
Like others, I've had my share of broken hearts...but I refuse to live life hurt & afraid. You get out of life what you put into it...that includes relationships. And unless you are willing to risk big (for example, risking another broken heart), you'll never get to that beautiful place where 'life flows and love grows'. "Tis better to have loved and lost..." as it were.
In conversations over the years friends have described me as an optimist, a dreamer, a romantic, a great friend and a really good guy - and I'm ok with all of those tags.
Don't want to share everything here, would like to keep some of it for our conversations...so we can find out more about each other. Look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. Hope you find what you're looking for.
Date someone special from Alameda, United States. I'm considered by friends and family to be smart and attractive. I believe in honesty and respecting fellow human beings. Currently I live on a sailboat that I have been restoring, fortunately, I am close to being done.I enjoy pretty much any outdoor activity, especially if it involves water. I ride a bike to work every day and would really like a cycling or surfing partner. I'm not that great at surfing, but like to go anyway. Who would I like to date? I don't have a real specific type. I usually am attracted to a person. Then, depending on the personality, I become more, or less, attracted to them. Basically a nice person at heart is a requirement.My ideal match would be attractive, kind, intelligent, a great sense of humor, little extra baggage, confident,yet sensitive. Maybe a friend first and see where it goes from there.
Meet people from California, United States. I like to watch the sunset, climb a mountain, run my fingers through the sand, look at a beautiful painting, laugh, watch a foreign movie, travel, spend lots of time outside, listen to music, play tag, take photographs, read, go camping, go out with a bunch of people, have dinner just the two of us, have dinner guests over, grow plants, etc., etc. I don't always have time for all of these, but I do like to enjoy life!
Date a woman from California, United States. Life is grand and sometimes more complicated than it needs to be. Rarely do we get things right the first time. I believe in second and third chances but also in being mindful and making wise choices.
Some of my characteristics/preferences: quiet rather than loud, quirky humor rather than sitcom laugh tracks, late night rather than early morning, thoughtful rather than spontaneous, dancing rather than treadmilling, hiking rather than running, geeky rather than popular, baseball rather than football, simple tokens of kindness rather than shiny, pricey displays of affection, intense conversations rather than chit chat, comfortable solitude rather than loneliness, balance rather than extremes.
What am I looking for? Someone who is respectful, has a wicked sense of humor, active, involved and caring dad (at least like kids) age appropriate (it's flattering to get attention from the much too young and much too old – I’ve found that doesn’t work out ), enjoys his own personal time but ready to take a step toward being in a relationship.
Meet a soulmate from California, United States. Me...I love the simple things in life. Staying in, cooking dinner and watching a good movie is an ideal date for me, especially on a cold rainy day. I'm a Southern girl (complete with Southern accent, so I'm told) that came to the big city and I've never looked back. I'm loyal to my friends and I'm super honest, to my detriment sometimes! ALSO, I know my height says 5'9", but I'm more like 6' because I'm ALWAYS in heels. I'm willing to take the heels off for the right person of course!!!
I'm very feminine but do have a bit of a tom boy in me. I LOVE watching Football and Basketball. I love the outdoors and camping out by a campfire (not in a cabin). I love to fish and even bait my own hook:)
Last but not least, I would prefer an email over a wink and will only respond if you have pictures posted, after all, you know what I look like(and my pics are current)...It's only fair:):):)
