Date single man from Los Gatos, United States. About me? I'm lucky. One time at Valley Fair mall I entered a drawing and won the grand prize out of 10,000 entries - a nice trip to Cabo. I was a big deal on my cul de sac for an entire week. Until my next door neighbor won $168 million in the lottery. I wasn't such a big deal any more. And didn't see even a dollar of neighbor-love. In fact - he even asked for his rusty hedge trimmer back. True story. Still, I feel lucky. I have incredible friends and a great family. I love my boys dearly and am trying hard to prepare them for life. They are 13 and 15 and at dinner awhile back my oldest asked what “virgin” meant. I took a deep breath and carefully explained that until a person has a sexual experience they are considered a virgin. I went on to articulate how some people choose to hold onto this virginity until marriage and how that is an individual’s choice and how sex is something to consider carefully as you get to that age and time in your life. That led me to a delicate review of unwanted pregnancy and STDs and how it could change their lives and so on. He sat quietly and listened and after a good 5 minutes I asked him if that answered his question. He said, “Um, I guess so, but I was just wondering because the salad dressing bottle says Extra Virgin Olive Oil on it.” Sort of sums up fatherhood for me…
I keep fit, eat pretty healthy and strive for a balanced life. In fact – that’s why I started yoga. I’ve learned it’s not just for skinny, spiritual people that like wearing tight, black outfits. I find it has improved my flexibility, balance and also great for calming the mind – and plus I’ve discovered a lot of new types of granola and learned some women prefer not to use deodorant. Had no idea.
I can get along with just about anyone. I can tie a cherry stem in a knot with my tongue. I appreciate routines but love trying new things and there are many things I want to learn still, and ways in which I want to grow. I have my boys half-time, and lately when they are with me all of a sudden they’d rather be with their buddies, unless they need spending $ - then I’m popular in my house. All this to say I’m it’s a good time to meet someone special.
I’m looking to find someone who communicates openly. She has dealt with her past. She can be light-hearted and fun but also intimate and loving. She would be healthy for my kids to be around some day. She doesn’t need a man to help define her – but to appreciate her for who she is. She often considers applying deodorant as part of her daily routine.
I believe there is something beautiful inside every person and if we appear to match-up I look forward to discovering and appreciating the beauty in you, and sharing the best of me.
Meet someone special from Los Gatos, United States. I'm a positive, secure, don't judge happy guy
that loves to laugh and never looks back
have a large network of friends......but need a best friend to have some excitement with and enjoy every day with
Date a man from Los Gatos, United States. [My best friend about me. I did ask for this.] Looks? Check. Cycling? Check. Vinophile? Check. Intelligent? Supercheck. Employed/financially independent? Check. Funny? Check. Handyman? Check. Romantic? Check. Bleeding heart liberal? Check. (OK, just thought I'd tease you on that one, but hey fits right in NoCal!).
[Me about me] While I tend to agree with my buddy, I can't pretend I'm for everybody. I don't think I'd be here if I were. In fact, what I'd shoot for -- the style and charm from the old movies with modern competence, say if Bogart (without the smoking) were Batman (without the Robin) -- would sound odd (or phony) to many. But I'm only semi--kidding. I'm at home and happy in many worlds. I attended a friend's performance of a Bach chorale. I had my first trumpet recital a couple weeks ago. I've climbed Half-Dome the hard way. I completed the 2011 Wildflower Half Ironman. I'll actually carry a lady's bags to her car. I can do lots of things: build bicycles; plumb, wire, and tile a bathroom; ride a Ducati; ice climb (years ago); and suit up for a charity event, symphony, or a brake job. I've even bottled a few barrels of wine under my own label (for fun, not profit). I’ve an odd, off-beat sense of humor. I like silly puns (We’re going to Greece! And swim the English Channel?). I am calm when bad things happen - even when I'm the cause (accidentally, of course). I was raised in the Midwest and left as soon as I realized I could live in places like San Francisco, which happened while I was living in Italy. My current fun activities are heavily centered on cycling, with weekly yoga to compensate, and trumpet lessons. I'm well traveled (Europe - from Crete to the Arctic Circle. Japan, some. Turkey - to bookend Asia.). I’ve lived and worked and played and eaten in a number of countries (the UK, France, Germany, Northern Italy, Northern Sweden, Northern Kentucky, Southeastern Michigan), so I'm comfortable with new and unusual people and situations. I'm occasionally spontaneous to the point of buying a ticket and taking off for a different continent, but the common denominator for how I prefer to spend my time is a table of food and drink surrounded on all sides by friends.
No one has ever said about me: “I can never get him to go (or do) [name it, except for illegal activities - no drugs of any kind allowed] with me” (and, yes, I’ve had a fiance before, and a number of girlfriends or significant others, though I think we need a more elegant name). I try to limit my hypocrisy and am aware that my "no drugs or smoking" is at odds with my wine consumption (in respect to drinking, "regular" means "often with dinner," not hourly). I'm looking for someone who wants to be an enthusiastic and equal participant with, not observer of, the person they imagine from this intro.
I do have some time. I'm not aging too quickly. My profile picture is from March. I've been told, by people who are free to say worse, that I look better than my photos. I hope you want to find out. I'll know the right thing when it happens. And I think it will happen - maybe not here, maybe not now, but soon -- same Bat-time, same Bat-channel.

Date single man from California, United States. I am ready to enjoy life to the fullest and it would be great to have someone with me on the journey. I am an old fashioned romantic at heart, and believe in the joys of opening doors, romantic poems, delivering flowers when you least expect it, and treating women with respect. I am seeking my best friend and lover. The woman who understands that life holds wonderment but also challenges. She gets that a truly dynamic, committed, loving couple can weather any storm. The woman who is my partner will know that I love and care for her deeply every day of her life.
Cycling is a passion for me (thus the username). It is an activity I would love to share. I have a tandem that would allow us to bike ride together on easy days or we could hammer side by side.
Sharing a love of animals is a plus, but not a deal breaker. I have a wonderful golden retriever, who already has a piece of my heart. She is an amazing dog and is wonderful with kids.
I am a big believer in the importance of family - both mine, and yours. I think strong family values and my love of children would also make me a strong candidate to be supportive of a woman who already has her own.
While I am a big believer in developing a friendship that will be the cornerstone for our future, I know I am ready to find you.
I am also a pilot with Commercial, Instrument, and Multi Engine ratings.
