Date men and women from United States / California / Encinitas, 45 year old

Date a man from United States. Hi, I'm Sid. I'm seeking a partner to join me in discovery, deepening, realization, love and for sure fun. My most prominent qualities are being intuitive and feeling-oriented (nearly 100% for those on the Myers Briggs) and seeking those proclivities in a partner. Sometimes I view the world through a spiritual or energetic perspective and enjoy either of these immensely. :-)
The spiritual and energetic perspectives are important to me.
The spiritual for me has been to see the divine more and more around and in me. It began solely from a professional ambition to be a great attorney mediator. Observing one "spiritual teacher" holding an exquisite heart space within conflict, to a depth beyond my ability, I aspired professionally to do the same, but soon discovered that my academic and interpersonal abilities could only get me so far -- so began the spiritual journey.
I just saw this on Facebook, -- "While our eyes see limits, our heart knows no boundaries. Trust our heart. Expand our vision. Becoming deeply awake is an experience of deep love, which enables us to embrace our ambiguous humanity just as it is." ~ Livia Maritzia
The energetic awareness thing is a recent development. A few years ago, it just turned itself on like a light switch, off to on -- perhaps I was ripe from years of mediating but who knows. Nature became alive. I could feel my energy centers and open and close them at will. I think I'm kind of an empath -- which can be way cool and at other times problematic.
Beyond the spiritual and energetic, I'm a pretty ordinary guy. More:
SOCIAL --enjoy hosting professional and personal parties and supporting the gathering's heart resonance.
FAMILY --is a priority and I visit my parents, siblings and their kids in Memphis and Sarasota five to six times a year and serve as a devoted uncle.
KINDNESS, COMPASSION SERVICE -- values
ADVENTURE PLAYFULNESS -- enjoy costume parties, laughing, spontaneity, weekend trips.
CREATIVITY -- exploring ideas, creating art, and photo and video editing.
SPIRITUALITY (a detail as might have one in common) --along the way I have spent much time with Gangaji, Byron Katie, Adyashanti, John DeRuiter, Issac Shapiro, Reb Zalman and others. I've served as a facilitator and sometimes taught The Work, Nonviolent Communication, meditation, and Big Mind Voice Dialogue. I love Encinitas (new here) and often see it as a spiritual disneyland.
HEALTH CONSCIOUS -- I know what my body prefers and still often fall for comfort food. I've done a few raw food retreats; primarily shop at Whole Foods; rarely drink alcohol except for special occasions with friends.
SPORTS -- enjoy playing most sports, love being in the game and especially on a team, although not particularly good at any of them.
That's enough for an introduction -- to say enough but not too much. Thanks for visiting and checking me out! My preference is to connect with women within 200 miles of me. If a resonance, I look forward to hearing about you!
Namaste,
Sid

Meet a soulmate from United States. Hi!
My name is Whitney and I live in Encinitas. My friends would describe me as very fun, outgoing, intelligent, compassionate, solid, steady, charismatic, confident, kind and a wee bit wild :). Read well-rounded MAN. I am attracted to attractive, fun, positive, genuine, intelligent and fit women that are kind, interested in life, up to something and spiritually in tune (whatever that is for you). I have a very high appreciation for character and integrity. Its easy to have it together when its smooth sailing, however I do believe that a person is defined by their actions when it isn't. I am looking for a great connection and best friend for long term romance. Perhaps that's you! :) As far as kids - fine if you have them, fine if you don't and fine if you want or don't want them. I am focused first on a great relationship with the right person, then happy to follow the path of that relationship wherever it leads. I have great friends, family, work, home and health so I am looking for someone that would eventually want to build a future, is willing to put in the effort and live an amazing life together. Obviously normal relationship rules apply, but that would be somewhere on your horizon.
I am originally from Seattle and have been in San Diego since 96 when the Navy stationed me here for my last tour (Naval Officer aboard Destroyers at sea for 5 of my 8 years in service). I have travelled extensively through Asia, the South Pacific, the Middle East and North Africa (including being stationed in Japan for 3 years and Hawaii for 2), but nothing beats Southern California and this is my home. On an educational level, I have a BA in Economics from the University of Washington and an MA in International Relations from the University of San Diego. On a personal level I am a PADI Diver and usually try and dive at least once a year, typically Hawaii, the Caribbean or Mexico. I do love Baja Mexico, Hawaii and Vegas (will substitute New Orleans) and am there at least once a year. If you like Las Vegas and know how to play CRAPS you and I will get along (its okay if you'd rather hang out in the SPA). I am typically in Maui during the holiday season so if you'd like to come along grab your bikini!
Currently I am a Director for Petco Animal Supplies and l love my company and am very passionate about my work. It is extremely satisfying to promote the human animal bond as part of my everyday. I report to the CIO, am responsible for large technology projects and my work does require travel to India 2 to 3 times a year. I am divorced with no kids, but I do have 2 dogs that I treat like kids (kind of :)). I am very domestic and believe it or not love to cook and garden. I have a beautiful beach close home that I truly enjoy spending quality time in. If you like fresh flowers, sea breezes, candles, and the smell of good food in a warm kitchen over a bottle of wine, you just hit the LOTTO. BTW, that is my idea of a great date. Snuggling on the couch afterwards of course! :)
I am also very diverse and enjoy way too much to capture it all here. Plus there is so much to do in San Diego, the city/county makes it easy to always be engaged in something interesting and fun. The summer usually finds me at Petco Park with the Padres, the Del Mar Racetrack (I love the horses) and the beach (I like Solana Beach). Oh not to forget the North County Fair! Nothing like a foot long corn dog covered in mustard followed by the Ferris Wheel! :) In the Fall I am a big Chargers fan and love drives up the coast to Newport to shop PCH. I cardio 5 days a week, swim or yoga on the weekends and fit in long walks with my dogs. I do love the Ashtanga Yoga Center in Encinitas if there are any yogis out there! I need all the help I can get! :) Namaste!
Thanks for reading my profile! I wish you well.
All the BEST,
Whit

Date someone special from United States. I am a family-oriented guy, and I love hanging out with them. I have to be honest, I'm also a huge sports fan. I love watching football. -- just a big sports fan in general. I am totally comfortable around all types of people, and I get along with everyone. My life is awesome today, and I am looking for that special someone to share my life with. I am completely comfortable around all kids, and I'm an animal lover.
My first and foremost passion is my family. We're a pretty large bunch, I have 10 brothers and sisters (I am the baby :-)) and too many nieces and nephews to count. I consider myself very lucky in that we are all very close and get along well. We do crazy things together (like annual Family Olympics) and tend to gather for most holidays.
I was born in Minnesota but raised in San Diego. The Vikings and Chargers are closest to my heart. I love to hit a few Charger and Padre games every year, especially if they're playing one of my other favorite teams from the north.
In 2011, I lost over 65 lbs and have been a gym fanatic ever since, going at least 3-4 times a week. I have recently become addicted to racquetball! Health and eating right are important to me, and I would love to meet someone who feels the same. Extra points if you play racquetball or tennis :-) Double points if you can beat me. Still waiting for that special someone to walk into my life....
I would love to meet a girl who is into sports, exploring the San Diego area and trying new things, someone who will share her interests and introduce me to new experiences as well. Dating, meeting new people and making new friends can be fun, but what I'm really looking for is a loving, long-term relationship, someone special to share my life with. I'm not interested in playing games. I am ready to make a commitment with the right girl.
I'm not much into the bar scene these days. I'd rather spend an evening trying a new restaurant and seeing a movie. I am funny, hard working, loyal, and honest. I have a great sense of humor and love to laugh. If I can make you laugh and smile too... well, that's the best. I am all about laughing, having fun, and being there for those who are close to me. I also believe in paying it forward everyday.
If you want to know more, just ask!

Meet single man from United States. Thanks for reading my profile. You'll find me to be a strong, motivated and independent guy with a lot to give, seeking a woman that will go to the gym with me, attend church (ok maybe not every week), travel, maybe raise a family, start some traditions and just have fun in every way. Life is too short to go through it too seriously. Don't get me wrong, I work hard and completely understand that need to make you own world happen. But I am always laughing and finding the comedy in almost every situation. I have my act together, am confident, (without being cocky), genuine and sincere, make decent money, and own my home. I don't lie, cheat or steal and would like to be able to find a woman who is also strong, motivated and independent, but also kind, sweet and maybe a little wild now and again. I also greatly appreciate a woman who can hold her own, command a room when needed, has great sense of style, and is generally well rounded and athletic. Does this sound like you?
Trust, honesty and communication are key. Fitness is big, and a love of travel is a bonus. I am from a small town in Alaska and certainly come with those values and morals. I moved to San Diego from Vail 13 years ago and go back often, so the ability to ski is an extra bonus, but not necessary if you don't mind spending time in the spa. ;-)
I'm over the bar scene, unless it's a funky dive, and past the party life, but I do enjoy a cold beer or nice glass of wine now and again.
I work as a commercial photographer, shooting mostly hospitality related projects. The job comes with a fair amount of perks, so I hope you enjoy staycations!
Life is good here in Southern California and I'm just looking for someone to share it all with. Wanna know more?
I am looking for a girl with similar attributes to me, who is genuinely happy and can laugh at life and themselves. I go to the gym almost daily, play sports, hang with friends, go to the beach with my black lab. I love to travel and I love my job (well most of the time), I feel comfortable from the board room, or a black tie, to camping in the mountains, or the beach in flip flops. My hope is that if I can find someone with whom I can share at least some of these common interests, it would be a good start.
Simple......I'm looking for a girl who's funny, physically fit, emotionally available, and who doesn't thrive on drama. Kind eyes, a contagious smile (especially when I walk in!) and a true heart that gets and appreciates life is really what it's all about for me.
What it comes down to is I want someone who makes my heart pound. I want to be that person in their life. How hard can that be?
If you want to know more about me, just ask!

Date people from United States. Who am I? A dude that is ok but broke now. But hey money was never my main motivator. When I had it it was nice, but I enjoyed all the other things much more. Like spending time with friends, my son, seeing and exploring the world around me. I'd be a great find to someone that has the financial means to do fun things in life.

Meet men and women from United States. Who in their right mind has a definitive "type"? Ideal woman for me to meet is someone who wants to laugh, whom I want to make laugh (so we laugh at lots of the same stuff), some basic physical attraction both ways, and has a positive energy. God, I sound like a hippie, don't I ... but I have a profound love for bacon (the real stuff, turkey bacon is sad).
Friends would probably describe me as intelligent, kind & fun - at least that's what they tell me. I hope they haven't been lying; I do have some very terrific friends. Life is sweet - but I do really wish that I could meet someone for a fun relationship to share the whole experience with. (Sorry to dangle that preposition, hope I'm not ruling out any strict grammarians!)
I'm 45 : but have the goofiness of a 20 year old, the career of a 50 year old, the curiosity of a 10 year old, the knowledge of what I like and what I don't of an 80 year old.
Hopefully, you love music half as much as I do; music is a ridiculously large part of my life. My iPhone playlists are downright schizophrenic. I play in & sing with a band that plays around town a lot, and since I work at home (computer programming, zzzz) music is the bedrock of my social life. I love living within 3 blocks of the beach, even though only get down there about 2-3 times a week. I need to run more now just to maintain & counterbalance all of the rich cooking I've been doing since I've upped the ante on my cooking ... come for my seared tuna, stay for my twice-baked potato. I love most any foods, though nothing can compete with cheese & bacon (bacon reference #2, I sound obsessed).
Having a successful enough career as a 1-man computer operation, it's afforded me free time, which has spoiled me for ever going into an office, or for doing too many things in life that I don't want to. That can be both a good and a bad thing.
I'm ashamed how much I love DVR (but I can be in a committed relationship with a woman with TiVO instead, I'm open) ... although I just freely admitted it, so I can't be that ashamed. I really do love to read. So I'm usually listening to music, reading, cooking or watching TV - and quite often doing 2 of those 4 things at once. And news flash: I JUST GOT A GOLDEN RETRIEVER PUPPY. I should post a photo or 2 of him here, but I shouldn't take credit here for his cuteness.
I considered myself extremely athletic but I seemed to have given up basketball and distance running. I've gotten a good head-start on old persons sports like tennis & golf (got to a 4-handicap, back up to 7 now if you're a fellow golf idiot - lots of hours spent there that I'll never get back). Since I moved to Encinitas a few years ago, I've become a fiend for walking places. I seem to only drive to music gigs and otherwise live a relatively gasoline-independent existence (when it's around $4 a gallon, that's nice). I really am starting to believe that living far from your workplace is bad for the soul.
As for my ideal match, I don't have physical parameters, but overall fitness is kind of important. I've got to say that I'm not religious at all and quite liberal; religion doesn't matter to me one way or another, it can make for interesting conversation as long as both people are open-minded. I'd have a hard time falling for a real conservative, although crazier things have happened, I suppose.
Just meeting a woman who likes to laugh, even if it doesn't develop into a full-fledged "relationship" (oy, what a word), is a great thing in life. People look better when they smile, manage to be themselves and don't take life overly seriously. I've definitely got physical turn-ons like anybody else, but smiling and laughing and a joie de vive (sorry I don't know French so I'm probably misspelling that) make anybody more beautiful.
OK, don't know why I decided to write a novel. I know when to shut up, but I can be a little verbose at times, clearly.
Hope this all works out for all of us, whatever "this" is

Date a man from Encinitas, United States. I moved out here rather reluctantly from Cleveland, Ohio. But after spending the first winter of my life in shirtsleeves (and a windbreaker when it got really cold), I'm never heading back.
I make just a short commute every day from my home in Encinitas to my job as a medical consultant in La Jolla. I really enjoy my work, but I don't let it consume me. When I'm off the clock, I try to let professional concerns melt away so that I can be fully present and enjoy the little things in life.
I have three kids: a fifteen year old basketball star at Carlsbad High, my thirteen year old daughter, and twelve year old baseball playing son. They live with my ex in Carlsbad, but I'm very active in their lives. They're why I moved out here in the first place.
I enjoy going to movies & sporting events...I'd like to see some of the museums in town, go to Sea World & the Zoo. I think a weekend skiing is just about a perfect getaway.
Love going to the Del Mar Racetrack. Why is it open less than two months a year?!?
My friends say I'm spontaneous, fun, like to laugh. I've always liked to travel, but I haven't done it much recently.

Meet a soulmate from Encinitas, United States. A little about myself...
I think I am a well balanced person. I think I have my priorities straight and love life. I always try to see a positive in all things (glass full kind of guy). After all I blessed to live in San Diego. I'm always there for my friends and loved ones. I have a great, maybe sarcastic, humor. Im passionate towards my career and a local Charity of which Im on the Board of Directors. In my free time I am usually with family or friends and probably running on the beach. I have an awesome teenager who lives with me part time.... I would never here the end of it if he knew I was on here.
Hit me up if you would like to hear more.

Date someone special from Encinitas, United States. I am a single Dad who loves his kids and wants to see them grow up happy and healthy and with every advantage I can provide. I love to experience anything and everything and to drink in life. I have lived out here on the coast for about a year after living in Phoenix for the last 18 years and I finally feel I have found my true home. I love to laugh and converse especially after watching a good movie or reading something. I am a veteran of the US Army (Intelligence Branch) during the 1st Desert Storm and I am a patriot. I like to travel and have been to a lot of places both here in the US and overseas. I like to go to the beach and walk or just relax and let the kids wear themselves out! I would like to meet someone who shares some of my passions but not necessarily all. I would like someone who is open to new experiences and enjoys even the simple things in life. I understand that everybody has had both good and bad emotional experiences and all I ask is that we both give each other a clean slate. There is so much more to say but let's wait until we meet!

Date people from California, United States. Who am I?
A Celtic transplant retaining a hint of an accent after 3 decades here.
I have a keen sense of humor and believe laughter really is the best medicine. I also have the ability to laugh at myself –being a natural blonde I have been known to live down to the stereotype from time to time.
I enjoy a good meal……cooking it not so much. I’m pseudo-vegetarian, although impose no dietary requirements or restrictions on prospective partners (nonetheless a steak restaurant would not be the optimal choice for a first date.)
I prefer wine over beer, and generally red over white.
I think life is too short to ever drink bad coffee or pass on dessert, especially if itРІР‚в„ўs chocolate.
I get my news fair and balanced from NPR, The Daily Show and Colbert Report.
I have no musical talent whatsoever and appreciate it greatly in those who do. Listening to live music is close to the top of my list of favorite things to do – stadium shows, house concerts, music festivals - I’m there. I have eclectic tastes and am willing to give anything a try, with the possible exception of death metal and elevator music.
I love hiking and walking or running at the beach. Apparently so does everyone else on here. How come I never come across any of you when IРІР‚в„ўm out there doing those things?
I have an inner science geek and a demanding career that is important to me, and at the same time its important to find balance in my life – work hard play hard, that’s me. I usually exercise 3-4 times a week . I do some volunteer work in my spare time and am a big believer in giving back and helping out in my community.
I can be something of an introvert – unlikely to be that memorable one dancing on the table with a lampshade on her head at the last party you were at. Nonetheless there’s a lot that’s memorable once you get to know me.
I love to travel. Prefer duo over solo. Who wants to go to Paris by themselves? (well, ok, actually I did……would have been more fun with company.)
In most circles IРІР‚в„ўm considered petite , except in my own family where IРІР‚в„ўm a towering giant as the tallest female at 5РІР‚в„ў 3РІР‚в„ўРІР‚в„ў. I'm also the most tanned. Go figure.
So what am I looking for?
Someone to build a relationship with, as opposed to serial-dating through the match.com inventory. Someone willing to work on friendship first then see where it takes us. Someone easy-going, up-front and genuine – what you see is what you get with me, I’m not into pretenses. Someone compassionate and willing to be open and honest in communicating with me. Someone to laugh with me, or even at me on occasion (although I really prefer you do it with me.) A traveling companion, a stay-at-home buddy, someone to share life’s journey and appreciate with me what a great gift it is.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I'm a kind, feminine, friendly and warm hearted person looking for a great guy for a LTR. My ideal match is masculine, active, fun to be with, a "man's man" with a sense of direction and purpose in life. Health conscious is a big plus.
