Date men and women from United States / California / Santa Monica, 51 year old

Date men and women from California, United States. I am a very layed back, easy going person that loves to go out with friends and have a good time. I am a hard worker, honest, fun, and always treat others the way I would want them to treat me.
I am looking for someone fun to hang out with, that will accept me, I am looking for someone to date and have fun with that will lead to something great...lol...
My idea of a first date would be, going out to eat and talk a lot to get acquainted, wine and dine or coffee would be great, movie, if weather permits walking in the park sometime, chatting and laughing.
People that know me say I have a very nice outgoing personality. I am very dependable and very independent. I have always taken care of myself and my kid. I have never depended on anyone, but would love to have someone special in my life to spend quality time with and the rest of my life. I am a true romantic at heart and believe in giving as much if not more than receiving. I always put others in my life before myself.
I love going for walks in the park, sitting on the back porch with a glass of wine, cuddling up by a fireplace, going sight seeing, movies, hanging out, talking and laughing.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. In a nutshell, I'm laid back and easy to talk to is probably the first thing that a person might notice about me. I love laughing and one the things that makes me laugh more than anything are tv commercials. In my spare time I'll do something active with friends or without such as going to the gym, taking a boxing class, riding my bicycle, rollerblading, bodyboarding and hiking. However, I will occasionally grab my beach chair, ipod and a book then look for a shady tree or a quiet spot on the beach and chill for a bit. I do like to follow sports just like any guy does and I will shamefully admit that I know nothing about women's shoes and "Sex in the City"
I do hope to meet a personable, responsible, honest, relaxed, communicative, happy, healthy, attractive, optimistic, moral and LOCAL woman that shares a high degree of compatibilty with me between the ages of..give or take 35 - 55 years young and capable of giving and receiving love. It's a lot to ask for but, that's just how the cookie crumbles. If it is agreed upon to meet please be willing to meet me half way. It's only fair.
I'll end this now because I don't want to bore you with a bunch of unnecessary minutia and give you the whole enchilada about mois....Savor the mystery I guess...
Also, if I do respond to your profile I'll usually do it in a conversational manner. I say this because there are some women out there that expect a life story aka resume in an email. Common sense tells me we're all strangers to each other until we have had a live conversation. Maybe that's just me.
Let's make this happen.
Good luck to all of us!

Date people from California, United States. I'm a down-to-earth guy. I like good food (most kinds), music (most kinds), technology, sports (especially golf, but I like to watch football, baseball, the Olympics, etc), movies, good books, travel. I love exercise, but I'm not a fan of the gym. I prefer to get out into the day and breathe fresh air.
I enjoy life! Whether by cooking in and watching a good flick; hiking up a mountain and eating a bag lunch; watching the sun rise or set; dining in a cozy restaurant; road tripping to the next state or country or planet (wouldn't that be cool); hiking up a river or rafting down it...
I'm pretty busy in general and I talk a lot since I'm a trainer. And I love to be out in the world and meet new people and hang out with friends and family, but I can also be a bit of a homebody. I value time alone - and that could be with my girl. I think there is something wonderful about sharing alone time with your lover. Being alone together. Now that's cozy.
I would love to meet a woman who is similarly motivated and has some of the same interests, but I know opposites can be attractive. If you are intellectually and geographically stimulated, yet you enjoy the occasional veg on the couch, we will probably get along. For certain, you must have a warm heart, good legs and a sense of humor.
By the way, in my experience women initially think I'm a player. I suppose because I'm tall and athletic and friendly with most people. But I'm definitely no player - I'm a loyal, monogamous guy. Hopefully you are the same (not the guy part ;-). People also upon meeting me think I'm younger than my age - which is fine by me because I feel the same. "You'll live until a hundred and five, if you're young at heart". So true, but I intend to be young of limb too :-)

Date single man from California, United States. Here's the deal...
I won't blather on about how great I am. But if you like a guy who's tall, handsome, slender, fit, genuine and fun, then you'll like me.
I'm smart. I can dance. Play guitar. Good at every sport there is. I love to laugh and laugh a lot.
I love life and have done so many things... but something's missing... and I'm smart enough to know what it is. Careers and work, friends, adventures and play, are not enough. I want a true connection. The real deal. L-O-V-E. The most elusive and wonderful feeling there is. You know... the kind that makes you notice how you're smiling all the time. When you see her, you can't help but want her. It's hard to let her out of your bed in the morning, or kiss her goodbye, ever. You get hungry for her, like you get thirsty for water. She makes you better than you could ever hope to be alone. You're a team. A winning team. That's what I want.
So, if you're pretty, kinda sweet, a little daring, a bit brainy, fun to be with... and real... a woman who's happy with her life but wants to feel that spark every time her guy takes her hand, then send me a little note. Let's get off here... John

Meet a man from California, United States. My profile is a work-in-progress. I went from a marriage of 10 years, to a 4 year girlfriend, and now, months later, I'm again single - so thought I'd give this a shot. This is so simple, yet so difficult, in trying to explain who you're looking for, etc.etc. However, if this can open the door to a meeting, wherein everyone knows you need but a few minutes with someone to "know", then well worth it.
I'm a serial entrepenuer, made and lost fortunes, and learn valuable lessons everytime. I'm in the fitness industry, so work out to walk-the-talk. Six pack is still there, but a bit softer - and as long as there are the finer things in life (Steak to burgers, Vodka to milkshakes), it'll stay that way. For now, I'm trying to work less, play more. And, everything is more fun when you share it with someone. So, I guess I'm looking for someone to share good times with, easy as that.
Rather than write a small novel and tell you how great I am, how about a simple - "I'm a fun date"; since it all starts from there anyway. Si?

Date men and women from Santa Monica, United States. Okay, here goes. I grew up overseas, and moved to the States when I was 14. As a boy, I traveled throughout the Middle East and Europe because I was on a National tennis and baseball team. It was an incredible childhood and a very unique experience. I went to College back In New England, and still have family and friends back in Massachusetts. I visit every year, usually during the summer. I am, by nature, a very happy and easy going guy. I am very grateful for the family and friends that I have, and I am looking forwqard to the next phase of my life. I am divorced with three wonderful children...two girls and one boy. Their ages are 12,15 and 17. They are the light of my life. I love being a Dad and I love the whole idea of family. When my kids are with me, my house is usually packed with kids and it can be mayhem. Throw in a couple of dogs and three ducks who have made the pool in our backyard a favorite retreat, and you've got a pretty lively home.
I like to stay fit and play tennis, ice hockey and basketball with my free time. We head up to Mammoth every Winter and Spring for Snowboarding. If I am vacationing in a place like Maui, my favorite thing to do is Scuba Diving; I have done it all my life and I love it. I love anything to do with the water...wake boarding, water skiing, sailing etc. Last year I took my kids to Tahiti and we're going back again this summer. If someone were looking for a paradise on earth, then Bora Bora would have to be considered. I am a voracious reader. I speak three languages(decent, but not fluent), but I wish I spoke five (working on it). I also like to play Piano and I am currently learning how to surf, so I can keep up with my kids. Though I have traveled all my life, I am ready to go someplace(just about any place)on a seconds notice...can be a cabin in the woods, five star resort or camping with friends. I have my own business with a partner, so it allows me a lot of freedom to get out of town when I get the urge.
My life is fulfilling and very happy, yet if I were to meet that someone special to grow with and grow old with, then it would be that much better. I like women who are confident, and have a mind of their own. I really appreciate a woman who remembers where she is from, and just as importantly, knows where she wants to go. I feel that I am honest, loyal and grounded and those are some of the most important qualities I would look for in a woman.
I feel very fortunate to live in Santa Monica and work in Brentwood, which makes for a mercifully short commute. I am an open book, so feel free ask anything you want...is that right? Yeah, anything you want.
