Meet someone special from Healdsburg, United States. When people are sometimes asked to describe me, the term "spark plug" is often used. I know how to speak my mind and get what I want, but I do so with a smile. I've been known to assess first impressions quickly (both personally and professionally) and generally do not waiver from my initial conclusion. I'm considered a very generous person in all aspects of my life especially in friendship, family and love. I've been told that I'm smart, although I also tend to be a bit modest too. I'm looking for a woman who shares my views on love, family and friends and is ready for all of it to begin with me.
Date someone special from Healdsburg, United States. Hello. Thanks for stopping by. My name is Ed. I am hoping to meet a special lady who is interested in building a great relationship. I am passionate, both emotionally and physically, romantic, affectionate, caring, and giving. I appreciate natural beauty. I believe in total openness, communication, honesty and faithfulness. I have a very positive outlook on life, and while there are times I have to be somewhat serious, I prefer things to be light hearted. Be serious when you have to be and enjoy life as much as possible. I enjoy the outdoors a great deal, whether it’s on the ski slopes, scuba diving, paddling a river, hiking or mountain biking. I also have been known to throw on a backpack or ride horses from time to time. I work out at the gym regularly and am currently trying to improve my mediocre tennis game. Music is also a big part of my life. I enjoy listening to a great variety of music, from American Jazz to Latin Jazz to Modern Country and even Celtic (I’m first generation Irish), along with playing my guitar. I greatly enjoy attending cultural events and a wide variety of restaurants. I love exotic flavors. Wines are another of my passions. I want to continue experiencing the wonderful adventures life has to offer. I grew up traveling and although I have visited many foreign destinations my list seems to continually get longer. I look forward to meeting that lady who appreciates the value of a truly intimate relationship, someone who is not afraid to open their heart to the right person, someone who understands that successful relationships are based on communication, honesty and openness, an intelligent and independent woman with a great sense of adventure, passion and humor. One who appreciates the simple as well as the finer things in life. I look forward to hearing from you
Meet a man from Healdsburg, United States. I'm a young (58) retired engineer who enjoys a simple and loving life. I want to share myself with an appreciative lady. The simplest things, like taking walks and going to the beach are what I enjoy most. Fancy restaurants are OK occasionally.
Date single man from Healdsburg, United States. ave a different point of view and enjoy seeing life from the other side.. All I can say you will be amused and maybe have some fun.I don’t know I’m just looking for someone to hang with, but not all the time I was just cursing the web and thought I’d take a .look at who’s out there. Going through the pics I saw someone I know and wanted to give a wink to. So I found myself filling out this form. What can I say, I’ve been called eccentric, caring, funny and I’m not talking about looking. I’m not a texter or tweeter I’m not a kid actually I’m a old guy, but I don’t look or act it or that’s at least what I’ve been told. If you live in H-town you either know me or have heard of me or one of my parties. Don’t worry most of it isn’t true. I’m very out spoken because I care. At Tuesday music I used to be known as the chairman (people who work need somewhere to sit too). I work with people who have a different point of view and enjoy seeing life from the other side.All I can say you will be amused and maybe have some fun.

Date someone special from Healdsburg, United States. I would describe myself as large, balding, not as bright as I would like to be, wanting to retire but can't, saddened by the state of our world, wishing to do a lot more fishing, of course if wishes were fishes it would stink around here.
Meet a soulmate from United States. I haven't had much of a chance to write about myself, but here goes...
My job brought me to the wine country 32 years ago. I have been here ever since and I don’t plan to leave anytime soon. I was raised in the Central Valley of California, but was born in Hawaii, also one of my favorite places to vacation. I’ve survived a failed marriage, but would not change it if it meant altering the product of that marriage, 4 very important people in my life; 3 daughters and 1 son, all are young adults now and “out of the nest. “ They have a multiculture heritage, Japanese, Chinese, Basque, and Castilian. If you haven’t already guessed, family is very important to me and is an “absolute must” in the writing of our next chapter.
I am nearing a major cross-road in my life. One turn takes me into semi-retirement and with that more time to play or the other, continue on with my work. I’ve been in the wine business for almost 40 years, so that habit may be difficult to break. I was fortunate to only move once during all that time. It was important to raise the kids in a community where long term friendships could develop.
For fun I’ve enjoyed scuba diving and “free diving for abalone” along the North Coast, golf (or at least that’s what I call it, my friends may have other names, bike riding (I’ve actually dusted off the road bike, purchased new gear..the seat had to be replaced. Otherwise I would have found excuses not to continue. The intent is to keep a physical conditioning routine other than the exercise machine in the garage..although that will continue to be used when raining)
I enjoy movies on tv or the “big screen”, “chick flicks”, comedies, action, suspense…pretty much a wide variety. My friends say my music is "eclectic", but it does lean more to the "oldies" and country and a hint of alternative rock (whatever that means). I would also like to share a table at any of the favorite spots in the area. For me, dining out must be shared with a “special someone”. It’s a great time to reflect on the past and prepare for the future.
Santa Rosa and San Francisco are great venues for concerts, plays, site-seeing. Are you ready?
My travels have been limited, Australia, Italy, Alaska, and of course Hawaii. Recently I had the opportunity to visit Spain for the first time with my daughters. I do want to explore new places. Hope the person in my life will too.
For fun:
I do enjoy traveling up and down California. There are many wonderful places to visit and it’s close to home. Week-ends on the coast, (Bodega Bay, Carmel, Mendocino) with a room overlooking the ocean, hopefully with a private hot tub. Weekend excursions, and when the weather obliges, the top goes down to feel the open air.
Taking the dogs to Dillon Beach to run in the sand and swim in the ocean. Lucy and Gordy are gone, but I do hope to "rescue" another Weim in the near future.
I recently bought a camera that I hope to develop into a new hobby.
My job
My first job out of college was in a winery and I have been involved with wines ever since. It will continue to be part of my future.
Favorite hot spots:
I have many favorites, but looking to develop new ones. Do you have any you’d like to share?
I must admit that I haven’t read many books in recent times. There are many on my bookshelf waiting for the pages to be turned.
Let's meet and chat..see if the chemistry's right.
Date someone special from United States. IMatch.com is a whole new world for me and I am not quite sure how to navigate it – but it sounds like an interesting place to meet someone (perhaps just a friend or maybe more) with similar interests. I was married for 41 years to a great woman who passed away with ovarian cancer. I really enjoyed sharing my life with someone – and miss that now. Even the simple things in life are enjoyable when done together.
I am a lucky guy – wake up each morning – with a view of lush vineyards in a beautiful setting. It’s quiet where I live and I enjoy the peace and tranquility of it. I owned a business for many years – and now really like the slower pace of my recent retirement. My business kept me outdoors most of the time – and I still enjoy it. I am a big open space kind of guy – really enjoy fishing (British Columbia) is a favorite). I often get away to a cabin in Northern California – for hunting, hiking, relaxing and being far away from it all.
Though the outdoors is my kind of place, I am easy to dress up and enjoy lots of different things. I am at home in a big city – San Francisco is a favorite. I do enjoy seeing plays, going out to dinner and have been known to spend some time in a museum.
I have always enjoyed traveling – especially on the small cruise ships. Alaska and ports in the Caribbean have been great trips. One of the items on my “to-do” list is to visit all 52 states – I have six more to go. Road trips can be great – staying at B and B’s and poking around new places.
I have two grown sons – who are well established in their own lives. Two young granddaughters keep me laughing. Friends are important to me and I have a nice circle of supportive friends that I enjoy spending time with.
I have a big loud laugh and use it often. I like to think I have a good sense of humor. It’s on the dry and droll side – but it’s a useful tool to have in life. I pride myself on being an honest guy – not a trait that is universally prized – but I find it is the only way to go. With me – what you see is truly what you get.
So what am I looking for? I would like to meet a really great woman – close to my age and close to my home. It would be terrific to spend time together – share a cup of coffee, go out to dinner, see a movie or maybe take a walk. I would like to talk, to laugh, to share experiences and adventures with a genuinely nice, interesting and intelligent woman. It would be the icing on the cake if she liked to fish (or was curious to learn how), liked the outdoors and had similar interests – however I am up for learning for a few new things as well. I am willing to take it slow and see how things unfold. I am a nice guy and am looking forward to meeting a nice woman. Are you interested?
Meet single man from United States. later i will explain when i make contact, I do want a person that loves life and want to be held , touched ,loved, need to want to play ,have fun and just enjoy life, no drama needed only real life situations.
Date men and women from Healdsburg, United States. I'm a gonna toot my own horn here. I am very direct and analytical about communicating, so here goes. I'm 57, 6'0", weigh 230 pounds, I've worn glasses since 2nd grade, my hair has just started to turn from sandy brown to distinguished grey in the past two years, I have a great smile featuring moderately straight teeth, I have no tatoos or piercings, most of my friends say that I look 47, I am attracted to strong, brainy, insightful, "think outside the box", creative women. Your level of academic achievement is of little importance to me, but if you are clueless, needy, subservient, whiney, unorganized, unable to get from A to B, we won't do well together. I've been divorced 11 years, and have had several long relationships with artists, psychotherypists, rock 'n roll singer and a bartender.
I'm a politically liberal Democrat, that believes that government participation in society is important in providing social opportunity, and a "level playing field." I particulary treasure my Republican friends who are articulate about their beliefs and are able to discuss politics without rancor.
I've never experienced "love at first sight" but at second sight has been wonderful. I feel that all great relationships succeed because the lovers work every day to make the relationship work. The unseen side of me is the sensual, fun loving, searching man, who works to support children, family and the community.
Meet single man from Healdsburg, United States. I am somewhat of a cross between a flaming liberal and an existentialist. I want to meet people that are alive, how's that? Actually I am a writer and a filmmaker, now can we get on with it....Oh my I need a few more characters, how about a quote from my great grandfather, : Oh wad som power the giftie gie us, to see oorsells as ithers see us.
