Date men and women from United States / California / Aliso Viejo, 53 year old

Date men and women from California, United States. I enjoy driving on a warm sunny day with my dog as my copilot. If you've pulled up next to us before he's probably barked a few phrases at you. My dog and I go walking and running at Dog Beach in Huntington without our leashes on often. I've been away from online dating for a while now, and decided to give this another try.
I'm a quiet kind of guy with a dry sense of humor. I can be mischievous like my dog, or calm, affectionate, and caring. I'm slender, like to stay in shape, and love the outdoors. I'm most comfortable wearing jeans and a nice shirt, but will dress up nicely also. I've traveled extensively in my career, now I would like to travel more for pleasure. It would be great to share that with someone. I'm looking for my female counterpart; a woman who is honest, affectionate, likes to stay in shape, and loves walking on the beach barefoot. Most important to me is honesty. I really am the age I put down, and I am slender and choose to stay that way.
I love to cook. My father was a chef, so it must run in the blood, right? I love listening to all types of music; it just depends on my mood at the time as to what I want to listen to. Nothing beats live music to me however, concert or local place. Kicking back with a nice glass of wine and watching a movie is great too. I do enjoy the solitude, but I would rather have somebody next to me and sharing feelings with me; watching a great sunset, hearing the waves, sharing a great wine, cooking, etc. I've found that it would be better to share life's moments with someone. I guess that would be my soul mate? I am looking for a long term relationship. I don't get jealous or possessive. I am a one woman kind of guy when I find someone I like. My friends and daughters say I'm too picky, but I'm not looking for perfect. I only want one...

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. It must be the Italian in me, because I am both hard working and romantic. I am successful in my professional life, but enjoy the romance outside of work. I’m a sucker for dinner by candle light, sipping wine in the moon light and cuddling with the right person. I’m originally from the Midwest and was raised with strict values and manners. Chivalry is not dead with me. I’m a loyal and supportive person.
Time is precious to me. When I’m not working I’m either with my children or enjoying an outdoor activity. Biking, yoga, working out or playing golf are a few ways I spend my free time. My children make me so happy and I’m dedicated to raising them. My perfect match will understand my time with them is important.
I’m not looking to get married tomorrow to add a notch in my belt buckle, rather a friendship that may blossom into something more serious. My ideal match is conservative by nature with a desire to try new things. I’d love to find a woman who can go from jeans and flip flops to little black dress and heels with little effort. Chemistry must exist on all levels. I’m ready to share my life with someone, explore new places and enjoy the romance together. Let me know if this is you!

Date people from California, United States. I am here to make some female friendships and if the right one comes along, a girlfriend. I am originally from Tonawanda, New York (a suburb of Buffalo) and moved to Southern California in December of 1990. I have been an Aliso Viejo resident since Jan of 1993 and really like being within a few miles of the ocean.I currently work as an accounts payable specialist full time as my primary job. I also work 2 additional part time jobs evenings/weekends. All 3 jobs total about 60-65 hrs per week. I work at this pace as some time ago I lost my primary job and it took a while to get a new primary job. With the economy the way it is, I keep my additional jobs in case something ever happens again.
I enjoy the movies, attending concerts, biking, dining out and just being outdoors by the ocean. For those of you that do enjoy attending sporting events, hockey and football are my favorites. I just added new photos which were taken May 2012.
The two kids are my niece and nephew Jace and Giselle. They are going to be 2 years old in June 2012 and I am a proud uncle.
I have a 3 person living situation in my condominium home including myself. I rent out rooms to 2 females and have wonderful roomies here to make things a little easier.
I would be happy to make a new friend with a big heart so please send me a mail and thanks for reading my profile.
Eric :-)

Meet someone special from California, United States. Hopeless romantic. Believe in love and passion. Thank you for taking a look. I just moved to South Orange County in the Laguna Hills area! I am really excited. I pride myself in being a gentleman at all times and a wild man at the right time. Texting is a great way to say hello, but Im still a bit old fashion and once we have texted once or twice I will ask you out for a drink or coffee. I love people, and am in search of my Princess, but I will make many friends along the way, so yes expect to be invited out if we text just a few times. I like real human conversations opposed to keyboard conversations. Plus, it is always a treat to see a womans eyes, they are the opening to the soul.
Email, text, poke, jiggle, wave, do what ever, just take a chance and say hello.
All in love and fun,
Eric

Date single man from California, United States. I'm looking to fall in LOVE. I'm particular and know which qualities, tastes, looks and personality type that I'm looking for. Intelligence is a huge plus in my book!
I'm Not a member so I can't read e-mails or who visited me. I can only receive Winks. I can be found elsewhere with the same profile name. If you like Fishing.
With that said, I've been on very few dates. I'm not into meeting women just to have a date. I'm looking for friendship, that leads to falling in love and ultimately a long term (50 years) relationship, and if your up for it, marriage.
I believe that my Integrity, Honesty and that My Moral Values are the greatest assets I possess.
I Love the perfume called "Fracas", that perfume makes me melt.
I Enjoy: Playing sports - I play Softball once a week, year round! Going out to nice restaurants. Sunny Days. Rainy days (except on the day I play softball) I love being inside watching and listening to the rain. But I also love to play in the rain.
I Love listening to music. I'm big on watching The History Channel. I can cook! I even took a cooking class way back in Jr. High School so I know how to use a measuring cup (both for water and dry ingredients) and how to read recipes!
I strive to make people laugh and feel good about themselves.
I believe in the Abba song "Take A Chance On Me".
I'm a Great Listener! I've learned that God gave us One mouth and Two ears, so I listen twice as much as I talk.
I grew up living in Los Angeles (Westwood) moved down here to the O.C. when I was 32.
And - David Bowie, The Beatles and INXS Rule!!!
Some of my favorite movies, music, Books and food:
Movies: American Graffiti, Raiders of the Lost Arc, Casablanca, Notting Hill, Singing in the Rain, Bulworth, East of Eden (James Dean!)
Music: The Beatles, David Bowie & INXS, Howlin' Wolf. Any Rock N' Roll from "Rocket 88" to current music. I also love Big Band music.
Books: Does Mad Magazine count as a book?
Food: Spaghetti, Burgers, Pinks Chili Cheese Dogs, Carney's on Sunset Boulevard, (OK, I know the last two were restaurants and not specific food, but I love them so I added them) No Sushi, but just about anything else. Oh, and home made Chocolate Chip Cookies are the best!
Six things I could never do without:
My Hair Dryer, Coke Cola, TiVo, Baseball, My Kids and The Beach.
I spend a lot of time thinking about:
What I did wrong to end up here on Match.com!
On a more serious side, I think that teachers have the most noble job of all, and are underpaid and under appreciated! They have a selfless job, sacrificing the possibilities of having a higher paying job for the betterment of strangers, the students. I hold teachers in the highest regard, and respect them the most for making teaching as a their career choice.
What I am looking for:
I'm looking to fall in love. To be madly and passionately in love. Someone to Love, Cherish and Protect. Someone to have candle lit dinners with. Someone who loves to kiss! To have one person that I think about, and want to spend every moment with (except for when I play in my once a week softball game)! Someone that I can trust and count on, someone to trust and count on me. Someone who loves to hug.
Here are a few poems I found to be wonderful and inspirational:
Real love stories never have endings. ~ by Richard Bach ~
What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. ~ by Ralph Waldo Emerson ~
Who, being loved, is poor? ~ by Oscar Wilde ~
You should contact me if:
If you're looking for a loving caring man who will make you laugh, feel happy and secure. Someone that will treat you with respect, who is polite and actually has nice table manners!

Meet a woman from Aliso Viejo, United States. I have come to believe that everyone has a 'great match', it's just about the timing.
I have learned to be honest and true to myself first, and the rest will take care of itself. I can say that a "50 Shades of Grey" type of agreement is not beyond me,.... and would be a signifigant concideration. That said.... I will twist any comment into a sexy or silly giggle, and insist on keeping a smile on my face. "Drama-FREE" is the only way I roll !!' Yes, I have lived a full life and gained wisdom beyond my years and want to share it with a Loving Partner Mate. I was married for 10yrs, and divorced in '91, so being single has had its benefits as well as trials. I do not have children, my parents have both passed on, so I am available to share my time with you and your adventures. I take great care of myself and am only truly attracted to a Man who is of equal dedication. My genuine desire is to find my 'last first date', but I am not willing to settle, but rather to become settled. I know that it takes time to get to know a person, but only if you are taking your time doing it. I am very good at knowing a person quickly and appreciate honesty and directness. I love to laugh at lifes gifts and challenges, and seem to always be the center of attention when making ironic observations into food for thought. Being Emotionally Stable and Available is My Priority and equal requirement. I know that the 'details' matter, but I don't sweat the small-stuff. I believe that 'paying attention' is more important than needing it. I like my work, I stay in the best shape I can and I hope everyday that I do something good for someone else. I am most attracted to and would appreciate an intelligent, loyal, thoughtful, funny and Capable Man who is 6 ft tall or more, White, FITFUN, Healthy, easy to be with and comfortable in his own skin. I respect a man who follows his heart with his mind, considers all the options, and believes in 'paying it forward.' I desire his Time, Attention, Love and Affection, as he will have mine! He has made peace with his history, and uses its lessons wisely. I have done so as well, and very well. I believe that we all truly want Compatability with our partner, Respect for each others individuallity, Compassion for the details that make a relationship grow from Good to Great, and a sence of Style that is always Reliable, but never taken for granted.
Let's not settle, let's pursue the best we can give and recieve.....that's what makes it so interesting!

Date a soulmate from Aliso Viejo, United States. You're selective and not willing to just "settle." That's exactly how I feel.
If you're searching for someone genuine, funny and sweet, you've found her. If you're looking for someone full of optimism and who cares about staying in shape, you've found her. I have realistic expectations about dating. Not looking for a Brad Pitt or a Donald Trump. Just looking for someone perfect for me. Seems to me, too many people on dating sites have set the bar way too high. Is the bar even reachable? People want someone so perfect - "that someone" doesn't really exist. It's a bit daunting because most men want to date women 15 to 30 years younger than themselves. What happened to being realistic? Those who spend all their membership time looking at profiles of girls young enough to be their daughters are missing out. They're likely to skip over the very woman who'll fill their heart's desire.
I'm hoping to meet someone for a long term, committed relationship. I'd like to begin as friends. That's the greatest foundation for a relationship.
Loving, laughing, enjoying each day as though it's our last with a fire in our bellies and stopping to cherish each sunset and gaze in your eyes everyday - that's what I want my next, and hopefully last, relationship to be. Tell me, do you want the same?
I was married faithfully just once for 26 years. I have two grown kids and three grandchildren with a fourth on the way.
My photos are current. I hope yours are, too. I'm on the slender side of average - not skinny - and definitely NOT overweight. I've read the horror stories men write about: women who post old photos or lie about their age and size. That's not me.
I'm sincere, warm, playful and passionate, a great listener and generous to a fault with my time and my heart.
I swim four to five days a week to stay in shape and love long walks. I'm not a couch potato by any means, but I do enjoy my "down" time to unwind. I'd love to meet someone who's romantic, playful, adventurous, humorous and enjoys lots of intimate conversation. My friends would tell you I'm really funny and easy-going. Of course I've paid them to say that.
I hope you're curious about life and care about being active.
Meeting for a coffee at Starbucks or a drink in the evening is what I prefer. I think the first time we meet should be simple and relaxed. I'm an honest person and not looking to take advantage of a guy (I've read that some men say they feel like a meal ticket on first dinner dates). I can't sit through a dinner when there's no connection. I do have integrity.
I've only had seven "first meets" since I joined Match. One was still mourning the loss of his late wife; five were only interested in one-night stands; and the other had glaring anger issues. All of them said I look just like my photos. So, I prefer not to be contacted by guys who: are looking for a hook up; aren't over their last relationship; have anger issues; or have alcohol/substance abuse issues. If you can't have a drink without checking your Crackberry, I'm not your girl.
I know there are millions of great guys out there. I'd love to meet just one. Where are you?

I'm no longer a member, so I took down my photos. I wish you peace and love.

Meet someone special from Aliso Viejo, United States. I am outgoing, fun loving, compassionate, and a good listener. I am now rediscovering myself after so many years of marriage and having a lot of fun in the process. I like going out to eat and going to the movies, live theatre and comedy clubs and the beach. I also enjoy hiking and working out at the gym which is an important part of every day of the week for me. I am hoping to meet someone that enjoys doing a lot of the same things that I enjoy, he of course can have his own interests too, in fact I would encourage that. You never know where life is going to take you but I am hoping to find someone to share lives adventures with.
