Date people from California, United States. Hi! My name is Derek. Please look beyond my ridiculously good looks and charming personality to see that I am really down to Earth, kind, caring, and I obviously don't take life too seriously. ;-)
I am a character animator for movies, TV, and video games. Its more fun than work for me so I feel very fortunate that I can do what I love. I also just started my own business on the side. It keeps me busy, but I will absolutely make time for the right person.
In my free time I enjoy seeing movies, the theater, sporting events, hiking, biking, swimming, learning new things, relaxing on the beach, traveling, wine tasting, and hanging out with good friends. I love trying new restaurants (I am sort of a foodie), and going new places. I workout and try to maintain a healthy lifestyle--Mind and body, and I plan on living well past 100 years. Its important to live in the moment and I try to keep an open mind at all times. I am a man of actions more than words, and I take responsibility for my actions. Yes, I can admit when I am wrong! (Though I rarely am :-p) Oh, I have an identical twin brother and 2 younger brothers that are twins. Don't worry, they all live in other states so we cant play any tricks on you when we decide to meet.
You should be more than just another pretty face. I connect better with positive people that are intelligent and funny. The more clever and witty you are the better chance you have of winning my attention. We should share common interests, but introduce each other to new things. You may wear sneakers for a hike in the morning and heels and a dress for an evening out. On the other hand, you enjoy staying in with me watching TV or a movie even more. I want someone willing to travel the world with me and try new foods. Ideally, there should be trust and good communication between us. We should inspire each other and challenge each other to improve ourselves everyday. Most importantly, we should enjoy each others company and be best friends!
I am open to (and previously dated) all races/ethnicities. :-)
Meet a soulmate from California, United States. My favorite quote of all time "Nobody puts baby in the corner!"...classic
Simple, fun, funny, sports aficionado (Laker's/Broncos) and a pretty stellar cook :)
One thing I am perplexed by is why women are so adamant against winks. I don't see why it is such a big deal, personally. I can write the most amazing email to you and encompass everything you have ever wanted. But if I look like a foot, you are gonna pass on me. Sucks but true. Can someone please explain to me the woman's perspective on this issue?
and whats up with head shots? I think you are cheating...lol. If I had head shots, you can make me look like George Clooney or Brad Pitt.
Also, I am also not one of those guys that is dressed from head to toe in sparkly Ed Hardy or Affliction shirts with multiple leather wrist bands. :) Even though they are fun to poke fun at..lol
I typically wait three days to return emails because if I got your number at a bar, I would do the same...Just Kidding. That is soooo Hollywood.
Also, if you watch MSNBC or The View with those broads yapping away, we might not be a good match :)

Meet single man from California, United States. The following describes me and who I'm looking for : Laugh at life. Have a great sense of humor (that usually means not taking things or yourself too seriously). Have goals. No vanity. No need to show off. No games. No drama. No judging. Karma is real. If your life is defined by how much you have then you'll probably never have enough. Family and friends are very important. Good communication is essential for a healthy relationship. I'm a good listener who will always make time for the other person.
I have little patience for superficiality. I am compassionate, warm, affectionate, and witty with a hint of sarcastic humor. I possess the willingness to laugh at myself when I know I'm being ridiculous and gravitate towards people who are capable of the same self-awareness and ability to not take life too seriously. Though my photos may lead you to believe that all I do is play I actually work very hard and I'm pretty good at what I do. If you require photos showing my ability to wear a suit and tie, or proper adult attire for a nice dinner, I'll be more than happy to send you some. I'm originally from one of the great culinary countries in the world so I know my food
Interested in a psychological profile please send me an email and I would be more than happy to answer any questions . If I wasn't photogenic enough please let me know and I'll see if my primary plastic surgeon can fix it :)
Side note: I realize that this site takes a lot of our time so if you check my profile and are remotely interested please don't be afraid to send me a wink. I do respond. Thanks.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I like being social and putting a smile on people's faces. I work hard and like to have fun, too. I believe in treating others like you want to be treated. I feel very comfortable in life. I have a strong supportive group of family and friends. My friends are close part of my life. We constantly are making fun of eachother and laughing about it. I am very fortunate with the company I keep. I truly believe your friends are a strong reflection of you.
I have a strong passion for music. I like it all from jazz to rocknroll. There is nothing like a live concert to make the soul feel good. Music is infectious. I also like attending sporting events.
I am looking for someone who is fun to be around and knows how to have a good time. She will be classy, real, smart, funny, honest, positive, and attractive. I am at the point in life where I know what I want. I am looking for someone, who knows what they want out of life and are not afraid to express it.
This is just a bit of who I am. I believe that there is so much more to me and it is hard to put people in a box with words. So, if you have any questions please ask.
Date a soulmate from United States. I am an Indian male who was born and brought up in the USA with strong cultural ties, but, I am not limited by my culture. I love learning about the differences in life and embracing people who are different, I believe that makes for more interesting living. My career moves have kept me busy and has probably made me stay in the 'still looking...' category. But now I am pretty settled and happy to be here in beautiful southern California. I never thought the weather could make such a difference in a person's life, trust me, it does :)
My ideal match would be someone I can connect with on both an intellectual and emotional level. I like people who are thinkers and who are deep, but, also know how not to take themselves too seriously. I like free spirits and spontaneous people. Someday, I would love to have kids and definitely want to be with someone who wants that too. I like strong people that are beautiful both inside and out. I am looking for someone to hang with and be good friends. I am not looking for perfection, who is perfect anyway? I am looking for someone who likes being 'girly' and I love treating my girlfriends like princesses.
Meet men and women from United States. Hello All. This is new to be so I'm going to hafta think about what to write in this spot for awhile.
How does one even begin to describe themselves? I mean really, isn't that a bit ego centric to begin with?
Date a man from United States. First of all, if you don't know the reference in my headline, do yourself a favor...go rent or stream Spaceballs ASAP! Hilarious!!!
So, I've finally been convinced to give online dating a shot. Honestly, didn't think I'd ever do this, but a lot of people I know have had good experiences and have had good things to say about it, so here it goes...I've lived in Los Angeles for 10 years now...wow, hard to believe its already been that long? Originally from the great pacific northwest (Seattle)...and while I always thought I would move back, I'm still here in L.A...the weather is just too good to give up! I've been fortunate to meet quite a few quality people in my time here and I value those relationships tremendously. However, I do miss my family back home and try to get up north to visit them as often as I can (2 nieces and 2 nephews can do that to you)!
My interests: I'm an avid basketball fan, primarily college hoops...nothing beats March Madness! I do follow the NBA, but you won't find me cheering on Oklahoma City (they stole my team from Seattle)...and while I recognize that guys, and more importantly, the girls in LA are in a better mood when the Lakers win...deep deep down I'll always be rooting against them. Let's see, what else? I enjoy a good movie like the next person...DIE HARD! Just kidding (well...not really), but I don't shy away from a good romantic comedy, or for that matter a cirque show or musical (I just recently saw and enjoyed Wicked). Really want to see 'The Artist', but just haven't had a chance yet. I also enjoy music...anything from rock, R&B, pop, and even country (pretty much everything). However, you'd really score some points with my friends if you like Pearl Jam!
Meet single man from United States. In my opinion, there is no "perfect match" and I think it would be unfair to yourself, as well as your "potential mate" to expect perfection. That's when expectations and assumptions begin to happen and things start to go down hill and you begin arguing about petty and lame things.
The goal is to find someone who can "complete" you by helping to REDUCE stress in you life, not add to it. Someone who can make a good day, a GREAT one! =)
Of course "looks" matter, but that's all subjective. Someone "beautiful" may not be "attractive" to you. No spark or chemistry. Personality does go a LONG way, as does values and belief systems.
Everyone always says they want someone "easy going and fun", but I REALLY do, simply because my life is busy and very fulfilling. At the end of the day, I look forward to spending time with someone special, someone I can take care of, relax with, be silly, act like kids and yet, still be able to connect on a deeper level. .... I hope that makes sense. =)
I like to surround myself with happy, positive people (NO drama please) - this is even more important when you're having a "bad" day. Nobody wants to be around a negative, critical or stressed out person - who's got the time or energy, right?... =)
I have a GREAT family - mom, dad, brothers, cousins. Very big and very loving. Parents are still married (almost 50 years). No drama... but probably a bit boring compared to everyone else in LA =)
Anything else you need to know, don't be shy - contact me and simply say hi. I'll take care of the rest ... =)
A nice quote that I like from "The Notebook" (YES, I like that movie! ;-) "The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds."
