Date men and women from United States / California / Del Mar - page 2

Date single man from California, United States. The first thing to know about me is I am a down to earth guy, and I believe in being nice to everyone. Any success in life or anything I have has been a gift. I am not perfect, so I am not looking for perfection in anyone I date or have a relationship with.
I DO BELIEVE IN TREATING A WOMAN WITH THE RESPECT SHE DESERVES. That means opening the car door for her, ordering for her/or letting her order first. These seem to be manners that have been lost in time.
I believe in living life to the fullest. I love to live a healthy, active lifestyle with every day exercise, running, walking, hiking, etc. I think I am very well rounded. I have owned my own consulting business full time for 10 years and am proud that I am still in business and doing well! LOL 8-) At the same time, there is so much more to life than work!! I am always looking for new things to try, new skills to master, and places to visit. I don't do things to impress people. I do them, because I truly enjoy them and they are fun. I am truly looking for someone special to spend my life with. However, I do have a lot of fun just dating and getting to know people on the journey towards the right person. I LOVE TO BE FUNNY, JOKE A LOT, AND ENJOY HUMOR AS I AM OFTEN MORE LIGHT HEARTED THAN SERIOUS, BUT I realize that there is a time and place for serious things as well.
I feel truly blessed for all that I have. Living in the beautiful climate of Southern California is a dream come true. I often enjoy being a tourist in my own city!
As a little background, I grew up in the Northeast outside of Philadelphia. I received my 4 year degree with a double major in Economics and Political Science. I worked in PA, Washington DC and NYC before moving out to San Diego over 10 years ago. I have a diverse taste in music and listen to nearly anything (typically plugging someone else's iPod into my car adapter). On my own, I typically listen to XM Radio 20s on 20 (current top 40-100 music).
Countries Visited So Far: Canada, Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, Panama, Various Islands in the Caribbean, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, England, France, Monaco, Italy, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, and Switzerland.
I LOVE animals, but currently do not own any. Maybe in the future! I HAVE NEVER BEEN MARRIED AND NO KIDS. I would be willing to consider having kids in the future with the right person, but IF YOU ALREADY HAVE CHILDREN, I don't think we will be a fit.
FIRST DATE IDEAS:
I think OPTION ONE for a first date could be a quick (30-60 minute) meet-up for a coffee/tea or drink somewhere nice. It can be during the evening, afternoon, or even morning. If there is chemistry (physical, intellectual, etc.), the date might last longer depending on each person's schedule. If things are right, the second date I think is where you would then do something much more traditional or for a larger part of an evening. The first date meet-up would be low pressure, fairly quick and just a means to see if you want a real date with each other. This type of first date resonates with a lot of people.
OPTION TWO: ANYTHING OR ANYWHERE THAT YOU WANT! LOL 8-) Every girl is different and I am totally up for dinner or anything fun wherever you want or a place I pick. Because let's face it, if I like you enough to want to go out on a date with you, I am more than willing to do this!

Meet someone special from Del Mar, United States. Anti-drama always ready to share a moment with another of like personality. I am an outdoor enthusiast looking for like-minded others. Looking for another that appreciates and respects the ocean and what it represents. Kind to others and not stuck in ones own bubble. Athletic and active but willing to kick the feet up and watch a movie now and again or have a beer with a sunset. Balanced, wit and a sense of humor are super sexy.

Date someone special from United States. Im originally from Southern California (born and raised in Santa Barbara ), and Im back in San Diego as of March 2012..it feels good to be back.
I was stationed down in South America for 20 yrs, almost all my life. Im very outgoing, honest, responsable, intelligent, can be very dry sarcastic, and be able to handle getting cussed (good stress reliever), positive thinking, open minded, fearless, love talking and laughing, and hyper.
Im looking for an extremely fit, athletic, tough, outgoing, intelligent, passionate (specially kissing, cause I am), caring, fun loving girl. If your all of the above and more, we are def a good match. I might be asking too much but Im confident that my true match will show up either on here or in real life. Im very picky, and will only settle for the best.
Best way to found out, is meeting in person, its all about chemistry, well my schedule is a bit tough, but not impossible, Im free only on the weekends. I rather meet in person, than talking on the phone, but Im just realizing its good to talk first on the phone, see how things go before meeting. With all the switching back in forth between languages, I obtained a small voice with a Spanish accent, hopefully I'll get my real voice back.
----Check below what it says about my sign, and yes thats how I am:
Great talker. Sexy and passionate. Laid back. Knows how to have fun. Great kisser. Unpredictable. Outgoing. Down to earth. Loyal. Addictive. Attractive. Loud. Loves being in long relationships. Talkative. Rare to find. Great when found.

Meet a man from United States. I like to stay active and love going in the ocean. I have strong family values and a solid group of best friends. Though I'm very social I do enjoy quiet and alone time; it gives me a chance to reflect about what's really important. I can approach anyone and enjoy those who follow their own path in life's journey.

Date a man from United States. I'm a guidance & control analyst doing autopilot design for helicopter drones... I love my job and have, in fact, made a hobby of it... flying r/c helicopters and designing electronic stabilization systems in my spare time. I've moved around a lot having lived in NY, GA, SC, NC, AZ, AL, (almost Hawaii) and now CA. I'm just looking to meet someone outside my field to go out with.. I'm not looking for a triathlon partner, someone to travel the world with, etc... just someone whose company I'd enjoy no matter where we were together... staying at home, watching TV, on vacation, etc... someone with a cute & playful personality... loves animals... and is always honest & open. Communicativeness is one of the most important qualities to me... as I couldn't imagine a relationship without it... I've had some horrid dates on this site, but am still hopeful to meet someone sincere... If you feel you can relate at all... would love to hear from you...

Meet single man from United States. Let's face it. Physical attraction is important, but we're often hesitant to openly admit it in fear of sounding too superficial or shallow. We all hope there's someone out there that we're compatible with, but we're reluctant to reveal who we are, in fear we wont make a good impression or we'll come off as too extreme and scare that person off.
This is far from a literary master piece. But maybe something that will give you a little more insight into me. Hopefully this lands somewhere between a Shel Silverstein children's book and Eckart Tolle's book of spiritual enlightenment. Give it a read. There's more to share. If you want to find out more... just ask.
I grew up in Del Mar
It's was a small, intimate, relaxed beach town. Nothing like it is today. It had everything I liked: simplicity, beauty and charm.
My camera is a Nikon D70
I love photographing landscapes, objects, textures, whatever catches my eye. I don't consider my self a photographer or an artist. It's just something I enjoy doing. Lately my iPhone has been my camera of choice. It simple and easy to use, and the apps can make an average photo look like it was taken by a pro.
I see photography
As a way to capture and preserve the beauty of a moment. I love taking photos, but I never felt an overwhelming desire and need to be in my photos. I see myself everyday in the mirror. I suppose it's only a problem as it relates to building a match profile.
I love excellence
Not to be confused with perfection. I'm imperfect in a lot of ways. But that doesn't stop me for striving for excellence in everything I do. The Four Agreements by Miguel Angel Ruiz are great rules to live by.
I listen to music when I work
I think music helps evoke emotion and inspires creativity. I like a variety of different types of music. It depends on the day and the mood. Alternative, hip hop, classic, worldbeat, flamenco, all have their place. Country should be outlawed.
To relax
I love to do a variety of things. Reading the WSJ or a good book. Go for a long early morning run or walk along the beach. Go for a morning surf. Ski the backcountry. Practice yoga. These enable me to find the peace of stillness. I also enjoy using my hands. Home improvement projects.
I believe in
Old fashioned values. It's not just about opening the door for someone, saying "please" and "thank you", never interrupting someone when they are speaking, etc. It's about... Leading by example. Having integrity. Being honest. Encouraging respect. Being fair. Family. Having empathy for others. Simply put, it's about having character. I also believe it's important to find enjoyment and have fun in whatever it is you are doing.
It's a treat to
Travel and explore new and undiscovered places. The one thing I've learned is that traveling has an immense power to change our perspectives on life. When you spend a good deal of time experiencing or living in another country, you can’t help but expose yourself to a wild array of perspective altering things that can change and expand your entire view of life and the world. I prefer to travel to off the beaten path destinations. Contrary to popular belief the U.S. isn't the center of the universe. Lemonheads are.
Cooking is like
Making a model. If you use fresh, organic ingredients and can follow directions you can usually can't go wrong. But it takes commitment and experience to make it an art form. I'm not there yet.

Date men and women from Del Mar, United States. Time to update: I've been told what I put here is too brief so let me try again. So, why am I here (seems to be the most common question). I imagine like the majority... I'm over the bar scene and while I am very interested in finding someone for a serious relationship, I don't have the time to hang out in clubs and bars like I did in my 20's. I do enjoy going out... but with friends. I like dining out, going out for a glass of wine, the movies, sport events... generally a social person. But I'm not there to try and meet someone so giving this a try.
What else? I love traveling and have been all over the world. I'm active and enjoy surfing, skiing/boarding (probably not this season), kayaking and squash to name a few.
So, what more can I say? Plenty. But how about doing it over the phone or over coffee/lunch. Seriously, I'm not one for exchanging countless emails or doing online chat. Let's not waste each others time. You've seen my pictures and if you think there might be some interest, let's meet and see.
I look forward to meeting you.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I wanted to complete the funny headline with a profile picture of a clay head of Lionel Ritchie but the Match police stopped me.
I just moved to San Diego from Seattle in the past year for the beach life and sun. I love it, although I do miss the Seattle rain occasionally. I am having a great time exploring Southern California and all it has to offer. I have spent most of my adult life migrating as far away from the Midwest (born and raised in Milwaukee) as possible.
I have many interests and passions. Most recently I have completed a Japanese Carpentry project (see Shoji Pictures in my profile). It was a very fun and fulfilling project.
I am a single father of an 10 year old boy that keeps me busy with roller blading, tennis, and enforcing howework guidelines.
I am not going to put down any pre-requisites of who I am looking for and what they should be like. Shoot me a line and she is there is a spark.
Good luck on your match experience.
Cheers.

Date men and women from United States. Hmmm...limitless, fun, exciting, happy, adventurous, not afraid to try new things (like Match.com), intelligent, balanced.. I enjoy experiencing new places, hearing different ideas from exciting people, listening to intelligent people, seeing the world through someone else's eyes, and generally experiencing life to the fullest while remaining (somewhat) grounded.

Meet someone special from United States. I'm a midwest guy that's new to town because of a recent job offer I accepted with a software company. Everything is new, exciting, and scary at the sametime. However, I'm up for the challenges!
In short, I'm the guy my friends and family love to tease and give a hard time to. I guess that's a good thing, right? I take it well though. I'm very passionate about what I value in life. That being my family, friends, faith, and career. I also like enjoy making people laugh and appreciate a good laugh as well. Those close to me would describe me as fun-loving, trustworthy, funny, grounded, and all-around good guy.
I love exercise (running/weight training/basketball), attending sporting events, the outdoors, live music (by the way Red Rocks in Denver, CO is amazing!), great wine (preferrably red), discovering new places, and hangin out with family/friends.
I'm looking for someone to connect with, who has a sense of humor, and shares similar interests. I love confidence and swagger...more importantly value someone who is grounded, honest, and doesn't take themselves too seriously.
If you're interested, send me an email.

Date people from United States. I am coming out of a 15 year relationship so the online dating is something new to me but I am excited to be here and check it out. I have tried very hard to live a balanced life surrounded around friends, family, work, lifestyle and fitness. Ive got 3 great kids that are huge parts of my life. My work takes me all over the world and I spend a fair amount of time (about 6 weeks a year) out of the the country and make countless other trips within the States. San Diego is still home, keeps me grounded and is a great place to come back to. I was a soccer and water polo player growing up and that morphed into triathlons in my late 20s and 30s but I ended that with my 3rd child and now spend my weeks swimming, trail running, boxing and mountain biking. Nothing competitive, just hanging on and trying to stay fit. From a lifestyle perspective, I definitely like the finer things in life. I am not against camping but I love a Ritz, Montage or Four Seasons. Enjoy good wine, good scotch and good beer.
Definitely looking for a companion and partner in crime. Not to be too superficial but sexual chemistry is incredibly important to me, so weve got to have that. Woman that loves to workout but also sleep late. Woman that loves good food but can eat a burger. Woman that can dress up but can also put her hair up and some sweats on without any makeup. Woman that can stay out 'til 4 in the morning but also stay home and watch a movie. Woman that is kind and sensitive but knows when to be a b^tch. Someone that smells great.
I know youre out there. SD has many great ladies so I hope to hear from some of you.
