Date someone special from California, United States. I am:
A born, and raised New Yorker, who left the metropolitan life behind 25 years ago.
My friends describe me as down to earth, and grounded; though I have not left all the City behind...
A loving father who is committed to be a better father to my incredible son.
A mountain goat who loves a bike under me when it is sunny, and skis under me when it is snowy...
And with a full life, I make time for both when I can, and try to maintain a healthy balance between work and play.
Although a mountain goat, I do love to rest my hoofs at the beach...
The ocean has a special power and energy, a living breathing entity.
The vastness and depth humbles me, and soothes my spirit.
I am studying energy. I have practiced martial arts for over 20 years, and have been studying the internal arts from China very rigorously for the past 7 years. I am very interested in energy of myself, of my partner, and of the universe.
I exercise daily, and am very conscious what goes inside my body, and hopefully my partner does too.
I do also currently race automobiles in amateur venues, but normally I drive like a sane person.
My back is open to tickles 24/7...
Integrity and spirituality are both important to me, and are guiding forces in how I life my life; I imagine that will be an important place where my partner and I connect. I am working towards being a more self-realized human being, and relish all experiences because there are valuable lessons in all of them [yes, especially the difficult ones].
You/She:
My ideal partner could sit with me and connect without saying a word. Silence is not a void to be filled with noise, but can be a very rich and intense space to connect.
Someone who wants to have a secret language...
Loves to touch [and tickle], and be touched...
Is confident, sexy, intelligent, creative, a little nerdy...
Loves to be outdoors and physically active, taking in the wondrous beauty that surrounds us.
Kissing is very important. She is very comfortable in her own skin, loves to move [wants to learn Salsa], loves to laugh.
Must love good food [I love to cook ;)].
She delights in putting on a nice dress and heals to go to the symphony, but can rock a sweatpants and a t-shirt at the coffee house.
Is very feminine, but can bond and dance with a very masculine energy.
Someone who will be loving and nurturing, even when we hit the bumps in the road...
Wanting and willing to learn, and having many things to teach... It goes both ways.
Meet single man from California, United States. I am an outgoing, adventurous, and successful individual. I am a single father of one amazing teenage daughter. I enjoy the pleasures that life has to offer, good food, a good bottle of wine, and most of all good people. Also, I enjoy being a father and love spending time with my daughter. I like the outdoors, in the mountains, the beach, but I like hanging out at home as well. I am looking for someone who I can connect with on all levels. Honesty and integrity are a must. A woman who enjoys her life, knows who she is, and is looking for someone to share their life with.
Date someone special from United States. I’m a fairly easy person to get to know. I enjoy the outdoors, nature’s freebee’s, and a good meal. I'm a fairly good cook. I appreciate good food, fine wines, travel and children. I own a telescope, but only use it a few times a year. I’ve been known to get lost (temporarily) while on a trail, yet will openly listen to others’ counsel. I don’t claim to know everything… far from it actually, as I consider myself a life-long student. I’ve owned a fairly successful business for over 25 years - after shifting from my first career as a Biology teacher at a local high school. I am comfortable with who I am, confident, not a slave to fashion, and enjoy the occasional documentary - just so you know. I like to mountain bike, ski (blue diamond), trek (Mt. Tam) and I'm a fairly good photographer (Minor degree in college). I don’t claim to be much more than this as I am who I am and I don’t need to impress anybody - yet I will encourage my partner to be all she can be. That said, she need not be similar. I believe variety really is the spice of life.
Meet someone special from California, United States. I am on and off this site. My divorce will be final in a few months , after 2 1/2 years of separation. I am honest, love my family, work hard but like to balance my life. i love to travel to warm climates to swim and be casual. Looking for a down to earth, smart and fit woman who can contribute to my life. I would like to share what we each know and share our experiences from our "many" years of living.
My children are a priority but one is headed to college and the other is very independent as all teen aged girls are.
So, time to move forward but remember and enjoy the past as well. I would like to meet a woman who is confident, smart, fit and not afraid to try anything.
Date a man from United States. At the end of the work day, once home we will connect with a laugh, warmth and caring. We can leave the outside world at the front door, put some music on and relax cuddled on the sofa, cooking dinner together or dancing in the kitchen. As we face life's ups and downs, we will care about the others' feelings. We'll enjoy chatting, laughing and traveling together. We're both passionate about making the world a better place, and enjoy spending time going to lectures at the Commonwealth Club, as well as finding a new Italian restaurant, or staying home cuddled up watching a movie.
I am looking for a smart, eligant and kind woman for a long term connection. I truly enjoy being in a partnership. I am affectionate and look forward to meeting a woman who, like me, is energetic, fun and a lifelong learner who will take action when it's needed. She delights in being part of a loving couple who enjoy bringing dreams to fruition.
I'll be pleased to drive her to the airport, and surprise hers with flowers, chocolate or an adventure on the spur of the moment. I know that a relationship involves romance, loyalty, truthfulness, a sense of humor, and caring for each other as equals, as well as sharing common interests and good communication. Talking about the things that stress us, interesting articles, storys on NPR and how we view the world and those close to us, are all important.
I usually prefer small dinner parties over crowds but often go to events and enjoy dancing. I like conversations about social, political, and world issues. I enjoy my work and time with my 23 year-old daughter. I am passionate about helping people and protecting the environment.
I enjoy exploring the world with my love as well as weekends away including Carmel. After running errands on Saturday, we might end up up in Sonoma for dinner, take a hike on Mt. Tam or stay at home and cook together. I like walking arm in arm talking anywhere. I like to walk along European cobblestone streets, having a coffee/tea at a sidewalk cafe and touring museums.
In January I went on a trip to France and then onto China. Arround the world in 12 days. All fun in France, all work in China. In April I spoke at a conference in the Bahamas (someone had to do it :)). I like making hotel and plane reservations for Europe, but once there I like to play it by ear for adventure without being glued to an itinerary. I enjoy shopping small stores. I like learning about other cultures. I appreciate art and have recently been to the National Museum in Washington DC (they have the only Leonardo da Vinci painting in the US), the Getty Center in LA, and our own MOMA. In sports I rather participate than spectate.
I am intellectually curious and am a reader, not much of a TVer (but have enjoyed PBS and other series such as Rome and The Wire) and it is fine if my partner watches. I am generous. I attended fundraisers for Compass Family Services (they help battered and homeless women with kids), SF Beautiful, the Swedish Chamber and SF Symphony's Black White Ball (fun!). I like to laugh and am humorous, but it sometimes can takes getting to know someone before my humor shines. I am easy going and calm, but like to spice things up as well (see above trips). I enjoy style, but also like casual. I like good food and the smell of fresh basil, cinnamon and garlic. I love to walk in nature.
I work in and spend a lot of my free time in SF. Kentfield FYI is in Marin Co. While I have written books, I can't spell to save my behind. I am permanently separated long term. My divorce will be final shortly (my ex and I get along and are in agreement). My age, height and waist line are accurate and photos within a year (and they are of me).
Meet a soulmate from United States. I spend a lot of time writing. It's a must for me - it's also a solitary activity. So much so that it makes breaking the routine and being with people a must. A book is no substitute for a real woman. I'm looking for a woman secure within herself. Someone who understands both those needs - love and work. Aside from the need to collect my thoughts - I'm open to almost anything.
