Date men and women from California, United States. I love to hang out with friends, joke around, and have a good time. I’m known for my animated story-telling. I love adventure and novelty. Due to the flexibility of my work, I’ve been able to spend about 1 1/2 years in Spain and Mexico over the past several years where I studied Spanish and lived with local families. One of my favorite things was strike out by foot, metro, or bus seeking an interesting cafe or coffee shop. Here at home, I like to road trip around California to find beaches, rivers, lakes and towns I’ve never seen before. I do my work in coffee shops like Blue Bottle, Ritual, and Four Barrel where the espresso is super good. I love a warm beach, though it’s hard for me to just sit. There is nothing like a jog along the coast, followed by a dip in the ocean, then an espresso in a cafe. (I miss this from Barcelona!) I love my pitbull rescue dog. I’m a big dog guy, but I never thought I’d end up with a pitbull. Now they’re my favorite. I have an 11-year-old godson who I consider my own son because his dad has never been around. He brings me much joy. I’m fairly well read, and in the past I used to study many spiritual books, including books on Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, the complete Bible, and even Islam. I no longer “quest” so much as I seem to have settled comfortably into a philosophy of balance and moderation in things, of not becoming too attached to any specific ideas, and of not taking any phase in life too seriously (whether good or bad) since circumstances are always changing. I think I’m pretty understanding and thoughtful. I’m good at talking things through and hearing where others are coming from. I hope to meet someone who is optimistic by nature, takes life as it comes, and is adventurous. I’m not looking for perfection.
Meet people from California, United States. I love being around friends and family, but also enjoy being by myself. laughter and enjoying life is what I like to do everyday. Life is too short to not to. It can be at the beach, in the park, people watching, exercising....life is what you make of it.
Date someone special from California, United States. Hi, I hope I'm the guy you're looking for and I hope you are a woman who feels emotionally ready to share your wants, needs and desires with that Mr.right for you that I hope would be me. I am a successful business owner who deals with a lot of people everyday with different type of attitudes, but I'm still a kid at heart. I can debate world issues at a black tie event, or tell the funniest jokes at the local pub. You'll always find me well dress according to the ocassion and smeling nicely, on the other hand I'll appreciate if you have a sense of style in your own regardless of your body size. I'm not attracted to a tomboyish lady.
I love nothing more than a fun, adveturous evening followed by hours of deep stimulating conversation sharing our dreams, goals and visions.
Why am I doing this? I've been on a few dates with the wrong women, just like you probably have been with the wrong men that I decided to do something different by becoming a subscriber on match, just to see if the cyberwave allows me to find that special woman that could be you.
I'm not looking for just a date; I can get dates all day long and I'm sure you can too, I'm looking for a woman who wants to get to know someone and spend time on a regular basis laughing, make have fun, dancing, telling jokes, sharing ideas with, traveling to places, or just stay home cuddling watching dvd's eating popcorn (the rest I leave it up to your imagination(?).
What I don't want is to get involve with a woman who's just going to last for a few weeks or months. The treasure is becoming friends, earning trust and believing in the best. We'll let nature take its course.
Attraction and great communication are important for both of us and it either happens or it doesn't, is this why, we have to be open for the opportunity that come on our way, but MORE importantly we MUST feel emotionally ready for this new chapter of our life and hopefully we find ourselves special to each other and enjoy that incredible connection that we've been longing for. So, if this sounds so right to you I want you to get back to me, I want to know what do you want in a man that you want to spend the rest of your life with, I want to know if you are affectionate, energetic, feminine, passionate, playful and if you love to hugh and kiss because I love kissing (you'll get to be the judge). I love being romantic and I know how important all those little things are in a relationship, and I guarantee you I'll be doing all that and then some if you're the right woman...
I'll always treat you like a lady with utmost respect and bring out the best of you. I'm old fashioned in that I still open car doors and like to hold hands.
Oh, by the way - That other guys profile you just looked at? He's a putz......I saw him on America's Most Wanted!

"Money won't buy love, But Love is worth more than any money"
Meet a soulmate from California, United States. Hi I am interested in meeting new friends, exploring new places, and learning what fun things there are to do in San Mateo and the surrounding areas. With that said, I would enjoy meeting someone who would be interested in taking me to some of their favorite places.
My friends would say I'm outgoing, fun loving, intelligent, and family oriented. I like to laugh, explore new places, and hang around people who are funny, witty, silly, intelligent, and enjoy good conversation. I’m not opposed to traveling to meet someone and I would expect the same. Although, I have no children of my own, I do like kids and would not be opposed to dating or being in a relationship with someone who has kids.
I'm interested in meeting someone who is also ready to take the necessary time to learn more about me as well share themselves, and decide if a potential long-term relationship is in our future. I prefer to have face-to-face conversations so please don’t ask me to be your pen pal because I’m not interested. Let’s meet and see where it goes.
I’m a good listener and don't mind giving advice when asked. I’m non-judgmental, responsible, and I don’t take life for granted.
I would like to meet someone who would share my enthusiasm for affection, kindness, caring, trustworthiness, honesty, and independence. She would enjoy traveling, watching sports and hanging out with me just for fun. She is easy going, content in life, health conscious, and has similar values.
A few things I like to do are hiking, camping, dining out, going to the movies, concerts, festivals, museums, amusement parks, and weekend road trips. I would also like to travel abroad, and explore the U.S.
A few things I would like to learn are sky diving, scuba diving, playing tennis, and drawing. I’m willing and interested in trying, or learning new things.
Alternatively, I enjoy staying home, cooking dinner, drinking a glass of wine or beer, cuddling up on the couch and watching a movie with a bowl of popcorn, and simply relaxing.
I enjoy being creative and I love music. I prefer classic rock, old school R&B, and the blues, but there’s not much I don’t enjoy listening to.
I like any type of food from Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Mexican, Italian, Greek, German, etc. I love food.
I like to read, but I have to admit, I don't read as much as I should.
I love electrical storms and the smell in the air after the rain ends. I love the quiet of early mornings but not necessarily getting out of bed. I can be shy at first and usually come out of it quickly if I feel comfortable around a person.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Date men and women from United States. I would love to meet a person who has traveled, experienced other cultures and is a very relaxed yet driven person. Someone who likes long walks on the beach, a great sunset, a nice cup of coffee or glass of wine or beer, and a good laugh. I love humor, passion and creativity and think I can share those qualities with someone as well. I am a great listener and have a very warm personality. I am a true male with a sensitive and compassionate side that most men do not possess.
I love to play ball, travel, cook, dance, smile and be challenged each day. I love to start new business ventures and have been fortunate to have multiple past successes. I am not looking for too much, I just want to fall in love and lust with a woman and become the best of friends and teammates.
Have a great life.
Meet people from United States. Having lived in many places throughout the US, as well as in Latin Am for several years, I think I've finally found a place where I want to stay for awhile.
LIfe is great, but it would be great to sense a woman's touch again. I don't have the expectation that the next woman I go out with is the one I'll spend most of the rest of the mornings of my life waking up with, so I'm going to focus on being present for whoever I am with. Still, I would not be surprised if it happen someday...even soon. :)
I value:
Taking Risks
Passion
Having Fun
Integrity
Teamwork
Confidence
Being Productive
Helping People
Charity
Learning from Life
Being Mindful
Respecting Others
Patience
Determination
Tenderness
Empathy
Intimacy
Sensuality
On Intimacy:
I fill my lungs
with your breath
returning to you
that which has
passed through me
you move closer
while you sleep
seeking my warmth
your soft skin
caresses my body
we are connected...
On Sensuality:
locked door
flickering candlelight
glistening skin
eternal gaze
scent
soft
firm
weightlessness
open
lines
angles
slow
rhythm
togetherness
crescendo
decrescendo
stillness
peace
rest
completion
On Living:
"Dance as though
no one is watching you
Love as though
you have never been hurt before
Sing as though
no one can hear you
Live as though
Heaven is on Earth"
On Children:
There is nothing more romantic than to have the man or woman you love say "My Darling, when I look into your eyes, I dream of our child having them. When I see you move, I cannot help but imagine whether or not our child would have your easy stride., or your hands. When I see you, I imagine a little you, blended perfectly with a little me. There is none other than you that I would choose raise a child of mine with, there is no one other whose essence I wish to intertwine with my own." If I were 99 and someone I deeply respected and adored said something like this to me, how could I possibly say 'no'?
On vocation:
There’s something inside you that knows when you’re in the center,
that knows when you’re on the beam or off the beam,
And if you get off the beam to earn money,
you’ve lost your life.
And if you stay in the center and don’t get any money,
you still have your bliss.
The Pollen Path
"Oh, beauty before me
beauty behind me
beauty to the right of me
beauty to the left of me
beauty above me
beauty below me
I’m on the pollen path"
Date people from United States. My ideal match is a balance of me. Who can commit and is available. Not boring but has chivalry. 200 character minimum. Looking for someone available, can take care of themselves fun a foodie who loves to travel and loves to have sex
No complai ing they are old hahaha
Meet someone special from United States. I am a single woman interested in developing friendships and possibly more. Men have described me as charming, fun and intelligent. I love live music, art shows, traveling and trying new cuisines. I am always open to new activities, especially outdoor sports and activities....I love a good challenge, so if you are willing to teach, I am willing to learn. Physical fitness is very important; I work out 4-5 times a week and have an athletic build. I like men who are confident, outgoing and live a healthy lifestyle. Men with integrity and a great sense of humor are very attractive. If this sounds interesting, please contact me. I am new to the Bay Area and I hope to hear from you soon.
Date a soulmate from San Mateo, United States. I am an educated, professional woman with a big passion for life. I love to live big - try new things, visit new places, meet new people and learn new things. I'm fiercely independant, for better or worse.
I love cars - especially sports cars and exotics. Huge fan of Formula 1 Racing, and I really want to see a race live.... I've had my Boxster on the track and had a blast. I used to ride my own motorcycle (Honda CBR 600 F3) and still have my license - just in case.
I'm working on seeing the world! I've done a fair amount of travel in Europe and Asia, but need to see more!!! Have not been to South America yet, and need to get on that! I saw the Great Wall of China, The Taj Mahal, and the Great Pyramids of Egypt in the same year - okay, that was a really big year!!!!
One of the coolest things I've ever done was Shark-Feeding Scuba Diving. I love speed and adrenaline, but don't like the feeling of falling, so bungee jumping and jumping out of a perfectly good airplane are not for me. (I know that seems inconsistent - but that's the way it goes.)
At this point in life, we all have some emotional baggage - it just needs to be "carry-on" sized. No cargo, please!
My idea of a perfect day would start out with a tremendous adventure - like skiing or scuba diving, then end up at a black tie event that same evening. If you can keep up, it's a ton of fun... I also enjoy a quiet evening staying home and cooking dinner with a nice bottle of wine, then cuddling on the couch and taking in a movie.
Rumors: so I hear that I look like a young Elizabeth Taylor (but I sound like Demi Moore.)
And just so you know, I look like a girly-girl, but I'm a bit of a tomboy if you haven't figured that out already.
I believe it is important to give back - in any way you can.
As for what I like in men - someone who's clever and witty. And I'm a big sucker for old fashioned chivalry and good manners.
If you want to drop me a note and are not sure what to say, tell me what's on your bucket list.
Meet a woman from San Mateo, United States. I am pretty easy going. My friends would tell you that I have a huge heart...one friend calls me Mother Theresa..haha! Maybe a little:) I love to help others. I am happy with the little things and find comedy in almost everything...I love to laugh and making memories with the people I love. Family is super important to me and I am extremly close with mine. Love animals and kids...want to be a mom sooner than later! I try to keep an open mind and not judge others. I feel that respect and loyalty are key to a relationship! Anyway we can talk more later...K
