Date men and women from United States / California / Irvine, 46 year old

Date men and women from California, United States. I am an East Coast transplant happy to be in Sunny California. After many years in the cold states, I have made it to the warmth. I have landed in Irvine but I will be spending the first year looking for the perfect neighborhood for permanent residence. I can’t wait to explore it all and I’m looking for a partner to have some fun along the way.
As we move through life, it’s so easy to forget your dreams, to settle, to be "too busy" to chase your heart’s desire. I can’t live that way. I want it all. I want a life filled with passion, love, mystery, intellectual challenge and excitement. I know what I want in life and I am not afraid to go after it when I see it. With that being said I am very relaxed in my life and not a stressful person at all. I don’t sweat the small stuff and in this big world most of it is small stuff.
I have too many interests to list but if I have to list some top interests it would be travel, art and film. I am also a big fan of camping... hotel or the real deal in the woods. I love weekend getaways filled with great food, drink and friends. I also cant wait to find some more great restaurants. I live an active lifestyle so no couch potatoes please! I love a great concert and Im always up for seeing a great band.
I am attracted to woman with keen wit and a sly smile. I admire strength and confidence but not snobbery. You must be able to laugh at yourself and occasionally (but hopefully not to often) laugh at me. Its always best if we can secretly laugh together at someone else! Being playful is vital to keeping it fresh. I am not a jealous person and I am also a trusting person but this aint my first rodeo so no half truthers or liars need apply. Please know that if you are a mistrustful or overly insecure person in general we are probably not a good match.
If you want us to get to know each other drop me a wink or email. If not thanks for stopping by and may you find everything your looking for and more!
Bye for now and have an amazing day!

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. A Northeastern mind, a European heart and a West Coast soul: smart, romantic individualist is an accurate summation.
Work / play (and swim Masters) in Santa Monica / Los Angeles / on Westside, live in Irvine, have friends and family in San Diego; I've got plenty of creative, active and social outlets, but also looking for a mutual connection (of some sort) and partner to be.
After living in more than a handful of locales, all great (Ithaca, NY; Saratoga Springs, NY; Burlington, VT; Salt Lake City, UT; St. Louis, MO; Santa Cruz, CA), I'm finally (after 6 years) feeling like greater So Cal is home. Or at least a good home base.
By Day, thinking tech start-ups and "big ideas". By Night and Mornings (half time: every other week), parenting / homework help for my daughter. By Weekends, enjoying everything and more (below)...
Snowboarder formerly in the winter sports industry in need of some Utah powder (and Sundance screenings); a former collegiate swimmer (back to Masters' swimming) turned runner, and love to hike; only a few surfing sessions and my mountain bike currently inactive, but ready; golf clubs for trying to break 100 without success as of yet. Had started yoga, and dig it.
Child of AM radio (back in the day: think Steely Dan, following Earth, Wind and Fire, Frank Sinatra and the Who) with broad and eclectic musical tastes, as well as an extensive CD collection to prove it; a semi-hack musician who has played some instrument since forever, currently writing for solo acoustic guitar; a running stack of poetry.
Good cook, willing to experiment with what's on hand at a moment's notice; know and prefer French wine, although I have my CA favorites, too.
Avid reader, mostly non-fiction but Pynchon, Farina, Kerouac, DeLillo, Barthelme, too; CBS Sunday Morning on the couch with coffee can be bliss. ENTP / INTP, for those who care to know....
Looking for? No such thing as a perfect match, in my mind. I am picky enough of traits and aware enough of chemistry to believe that there are connections of interest in many forms. You can have great loves, crazy lusts, and best friends...but the true magic is to have a balance of those three components in any relationship worth the trouble, and make it look easy...because it just "is" with that person: that's what I've had in the past and what I'd like to find again.
Some of the major traits that do tend to grab my...uh, attention? Generosity, humor, intelligence, flexibility, sensuality, curiosity, acceptance, intuition, confidence and kindness.
To quote a favorite Wilco song (Impossible Germany, off of Sky Blue Sky): "This is what Love is for...To be out of place...Gorgeous and alone...Face to face...."
Here's to meeting, face to face....

Date single man from California, United States. I work hard but when I am not working I like to get out as much as possible. However with the right company, just staying at home and watching a movie is also fine. I enjoy finding new restaurant to eat at and do not mind travelling to get to them. I also enjoy weekend getaways, flying to NY or SF for the weekend or to Austin for the best sushi or ribs I have ever had. I don't do this alot but when I can I will, I also hate traveling alone. I love amusement parks, especially the roller coasters.
I am looking for a woman that is completely honest and will speak her mind, communication is extremely important to me. I want a woman that will be my friend first, if we can be friends and laugh then the next step is a given. I would also like her to have a little prankster in her, I love playing practical jokes once in a while to give the relationship a spark.

Meet a man from California, United States. Single, never married. Focussed on work for a number of years and have since balanced my life and would enjoy sharing it with someone special. I'm friendly and social but I prefer having a few really good friends, the sort I'd give my right arm to.
In relationships, I'm 100% in or it's not worth the effort. Over the years I've learned important things about myself and what I'm looking for; someone simple, easy going, funny, passionate and ready to invest in a relationship.
I'm passionate, romantic and honest. A strange mix of geek, jock and do it yourself-er. I take pride in my past for the lessons I learned and the hardships I've been through because I discovered what I'm made of. I've worked in a paper mill and in the construction industry while in school and now I work in sales for a multinational enterprise computer systems company. I've been with them for 13 years.
I've achieved a balance in my life and wish to share it with someone special. We have to have a strong friendship so that we may enjoy an active life together. I'm not looking to trade in my life for something completely different but am looking to mutually enhance it with someone special.
I've been back into martial arts for about a year. I also enjoy mountain biking so I'm exercising about 5 times a week now. Karate is an amazing journey to develop mind, body and spirit (clich?, I know, but it's true!). I'm fit but still carry extra weight, which is coming off at a steady pace. Don't worry, I can keep up.
I moved from Montreal Qc Canada to SoCal six years ago for work and have really enjoyed it. You guessed it, I'm half French Canadian. I don't miss the snow but I do miss my family. I'll be a dual citizen in 2013.
I've met great people out here but have not met the woman with who I can share my life with.

Date someone special from California, United States. I am entrepreneurial, spiritual, and hardworking. I am a lousy cook, but a great dish washer! I am shallow and deep like a river! I like artisan breads for breakfast, Big Sur for retreats and Sonoma for wine tasting. I am the Brain in the 'Pinky and the Brain'. My work involves educational services mgmt. I volunteer a lot for educational activities. I like nature and the interconnectedness of life and things. My worldwide travels across the world helped me understand and appreciate life better.
Mr. Bean, That 70's Show, Keeping Up Appearance - the old British TV sitcom, and, King of the Hill are some of my favorites.
Hiking is my favorite outdoor activity. To me, travel is not visiting your friend's family in a different state or going to Disney Land. It means going to a place like Istanbul or visiting a place popular tourists don't go to often.
Partner expectation:
Trust, love, and companionship. She should be self-confident and refined. Does not over-analyze day-to-day life and see the simple things and activities that look trivial but are essential building blocks of life. I will adore you if you are strong and feminine at the same time.

Meet people from California, United States. I can't even begin to describe myself. I'd rather do just about anything else.
I suppose I'm looking for someone who has enough in common with me that we would have some kind of chemistry, but more importantly, has enough differences that we would enjoy sharing new interests.
I'm not looking for someone to raise my kids for me. I know how to do that. They aren't part of this process until much later.

Date men and women from Irvine, United States. I am an educated, humble, down to earth and active man. I respect individuals for who they are, not what they are or what they have. I appreciate the effort, not just the outcome. Life is a series of choices and ultimately we become what we have chosen over time. I am considered to be low key, down to earth, humorous and an all around good person by those that know me. I grew up back East, am Midwest educated, and have been in California for the past 20 years. I continue to remain active, playing ice hockey, biking, going to the gym, tennis and a little bit of this and that depending on whose company I am keeping at the moment. I am seeking a woman who I share values with, who puts her children first (if she has children), is educated and takes care of herself physically and emotionally. She should be able to stand on her own, but be willing and desirous to to share the journey as partners. I enjoy things that are interesting, different, historical, new as well as old (When I watch TV, the History and Discovery channels may be on. I came across this quote and thought it very fitting and reflective of my thoughts:
"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident."
A couple of quotes that I like that relate to relationships:
"Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'”
"You can't make someone love you.All you can do is to be someone who can be loved.The rest is up to the person to realize your worth."
"May your joys be as bright as the morning, and your sorrows merely be shadows that fade in the sunlight of love. May you have enough happiness to keep you sweet, enough trials to keep you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to keep you happy, enough failure to keep you humble, enough success to keep you eager, enough friends to give you comfort, enough faith and courage in yourself to banish sadness, enough wealth to meet your needs and one thing more; enough determination to make each day a wonderful day than the one before."
Hope up liked! ANd if any of these strike a chord with you, we may share some common beliefs :))

Meet a soulmate from Irvine, United States. I moved here to SoCal from the midwest to chase the dream. I am very fortunate that my job can take me wherever I want to go. I have been divorced for 12 years and there is very little drama between the ex and I. I am passionate about my kids, my job and my family. I travel back east at least once a year to vist. I believe in making a difference and when my kids are out of the house I will start my own foundation to help disadvantaged youth an issue I am very passionate about. I will share more when we meet, gotta have some mystery. :o) in the meantime I support several local charites.
Some random things that make me smile:
The perfect song at the perfect time
Hearing my sons call me Daddy
Being "Uncle Danny" to nieces and nephews when I go back East
The smell of pine when I first get up to the Mountains for a weekend visit
Hot and soft chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven.
My Dog Bear and his total unconditional love and affection.
So what am I looking for? first some donts.
If you feel like you have to state that "your kids are your priority" or "you took years off to focus on your children and are now ready to date" than we probably are not going to get along. My kids are important to me but so is my happiness. I am a better parent because I have a balanced life. I make enough sacrifices for my children, being celibate and lonely doesn't need to be one. balance is key! There are times where my kids will be a priority but than there will be times when you will be a priority. My kids know they are not the center of the universe. They also know that I love them and they are cared for.
I tend to gravitate towards those who are easy going and have a natural "cool" sense of humor. I believe Your sexiness is more a state of mind, than it is something you were born with. You're emotionally available, and are open to experiencing things which touch you in new and exciting ways. I am Looking for an incredibly intelligent and amazing woman. Someone who laughs at my jokes. no stalkers or clingy women please. Someone who believes anything in life is possible, because it is.
I firmly believe that a woman needs to be kissed correctly and kissed often, that physical intimacy and emotional or intellectual intimacy . Are all equally important. I believe that everyday I should communicate some way, some how that you are important to me. Sometimes its a mere touch on the arm, or maybe a quick text or phone call. If I have been an jerk than perhaps flowers.
If you can laugh most of the time, especially at yourself, and choose grace and forgiveness over grudges and resentment we will have a blast together. Let's meet for happy hour.... we'll drink, mingle and see where the evening takes us... I look forward to meeting you :o)

Date someone special from Irvine, United States. I am a fun loving, honest and caring Brit girl with a great sense of humor. I was in a 26 year relationship/marriage and have been single off and on for 5 years, so I definitely know what it takes to be in a committed relationship...
My kids are grown and out of the home and I am a proud Grandma of a beautiful wee baby boy so I am really at the time in my life where I would love to have the perfect partner/friend/lover in my life to grow old with and share all those special moments with.
I am looking for someone that is romantic, honest, caring and actually wants to be in a relationship. I have come across alot of very nice gentlemen but not really anyone that wants to spend real quality time together, that is ultimately what I am looking for.
I am extremely loyal (I have never cheated or even thought about cheating my whole life), very witty with a live life to the fullest attitude and a true nurturer who loves to always make sure everyone is happy, well fed etc...did I mention Im a great cook? lol
If I were to describe my perfect man, it would be Montel Williams! lol He is full of compassion for others despite his health issues, he appears intune with his sensitive side, oh and I didnt mention he's extremely handsome too!!
I love to workout and try to get to the gym most days and I would love to meet someone who also enjoys keeping fit. I love to dance, go on hikes or nice walks along the beach at sunset, laugh (comedy clubs), bowling, mini golf ,spend as much time with my daughter grandbaby, jump in the car and drive the coast just taking in the scenery and of course shop, what women doesnt enjoy spending a little money?? Helping within the community is also something I'm passionate about and that would be lovely to share with someone too, a day helping at the local soup kitchen, working with Habitat for Humanity or just visiting an old person & putting a smile on their face, nothing better :)
After 5 years of dating I have come to the understanding that I will never again allow myself to make another person my priority if I am just one of their options...Life is too short for that, I am not into games, multiply dating or the like...
Thanks for taking the time to read my profile, good luck and may you find what your heart desires. G :)
HERES A LITTLE INSIGHT INTO GETTING OLD AND SHARING EVERYTHING WITH THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE...ENJOY LOL
Love is sharing - this is the story of an old couple...
The old man placed an order for 1 hamburger, French fries & a drink.
He unwrapped the plain hamburger & carefully cut it in half, placing 1 half in front of his wife
He then carefully counted out the French fries, dividing them into 2 piles & neatly place 1 pile in front
of his wife
He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them. As he began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them were looking over & whispering, obviously thinking, 'That poor old couple - all they can
afford is 1 meal for the 2 of them.'
As the man began to eat his fries a young man came to the table & politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man said, they were just fine - THEY WERE USED TO SHARING EVERYTHING!.
People closer to the table noticed the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. She just sat there watching her husband eat & occasionally taking turns sipping the drink.
Again, the young man came over & begged them to let him buy another meal for them. This time the old woman said 'No, thank you, WE ARE USED TO SHARING EVERYTHING.'
Finally, as the old man finished & was wiping his face neatly with the napkin, the young man again came over to the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asked 'What is it you are waiting for?'
She answered
THE TEETH!!!.'
NOW THATS WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IN MY OLD AGE HAHA!!!!! OK, perhaps I will settle for sharing glasses, not teeth :0)

Meet a woman from Irvine, United States. I am looking for romance, intimacy, fun, shared conversations, a lifetime of memories, growing older and wiser with one amazing individual in the hope of creating a long term relationship. I am easygoing, low maintenance, smart, humble and have a sense of humor, laugh at the silly things in life and try to keep it simple. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, outdoors, the beach, movies, music, museums, ball games, cooking together, hole in the wall restaurants as well as fine dining, evenings at home and pretty much whatever the mood calls for. Love great conversations, books and good wine. I believe it is all in the quality of the company more than the places or the activity what makes the moment and the memory special. Chivalry, class, a great sense of humor, intelligence and integrity are at the top of my list of what I'm looking for. If you are taller than me when I wear heels that will just be the cherry on top. Strong arms...Priceless.
I'm much more than a picture and a few words in a profile. How empty would I be if I could describe myself in 5,000 characters or less? I could go on and say how wonderful life could be if we met but really none of it matters if there is no mutual interest.
So, go ahead, make our day. Otherwise, enjoy the journey, and good luck in your seach!
BTW: Not a paying member any longer so I guess all I can do is WINK.
