Date a man from Soquel, United States. I'm a longtime,languid liberal with far-reaching ideals and near-sighted vision.Just trying to be funny in case you didn't notice. Hey, not enough of us take the time to try to be humorous. Let's laugh and tickle each other more. I learned that from my silly daughter. Looking for someone who would like to make a leap of faith and share every bit of their heart and soul to create true magic.
I have a joyous 4 yr.old girl and a mello black lab.
What more could I ask for? Oh yeah, a loving friend.
By the way, be warned, I'm very physical and affectionate.

Meet someone special from Soquel, United States. I am looking for my best friend, lover, confidant, and lifetime companion.
I am intelligent, sensitive, sensual, and love to laugh. I want someone to care about, exchange thoughtful conversation, enjoy sensuality, have fun, play like kids and enjoy every wonderful day there is. My life is very active with my exciting career, exercise, friends, family, cooking, and reading. I am spiritual but not consumed by organized religion. I grew up on the east coast, and lived in the Caribbean, Alabama, and North Carolina during my educative years. I value the exposure to different cultural and ethnic groups and try to incorporate the best qualities I discovered along the way.
I have enjoyed running for forty two years and wrote A book entitled "Running Within".
I have a fulfilling career and constantly reading on a variety of subjects to gain personal knowledge.
I served as French chef in earlier years and look forward to coming home from work and cooking five coarse meals and sampling delicious wine. Highly enjoyable therapy.
I am grateful for trying to enjoy every day and bring peace and loving kindness to those I encounter. Favorite prayer "justice for me, justice for you, justice, justice, justice!"
I live on seven acres and enjoy my vegetable and herb garden

Date people from Soquel, United States. I've been told that I am honest, kind, thoughtful, caring, sensitive, loving, passionate, sensual, spiritual with integrity and respect for others. I'm also a "goof-ball" - just ask my 11 yr old son, Jordan.
I've also reached a place in my life whereby relationships out of "need" and "lacking" are no longer. I have a daily meditative practice of "presence" and find that anything is possible. I've become a better friend, listener, and lover. As long as we both "show-up" and there is attraction, possibilities abound. And if not, nothing is loss.
Currently I am restructuring my financial life after a separation/divorce five years ago and the economic collapse. I took a beating but never felt more optimistic about my future.
I'm involved in two start-up companies and am very excited. One is a new fitness/medical model and the other is a gourmet gumbo business my son and I are doing (he's the inspiration and I'm doing all the doing). I don't care about wealth, it's how it's made and spent that is more telling.
I am attracted to someone who is comfortable with themselves, who can have discussions without inflammatory rhetoric, who's beauty and grace starts from within, who cares about the world and the suffering of others, and who will allow a grown man to weep from tenderness, gratitude, and the "good-will" between others, and, who cares about all living things.
I like to take things slowly, to insure something can be created genuine and in the moment. Let's share this dance of life one step at a time.

Meet a soulmate from Soquel, United States. This could be a deal breaker because I have the slightest idea how to describe myself. I strive to be a good human, raise my boys to be the same, although I'm getting alot of resistance, and walk from useless people and situations. I like to work and I like my job. It's all pretty basic, just be a good human.

Date people from California, United States. I appreciate a woman with a depth of intelligence, a great sense of humor, a playful nature and a kind, down-to-earth core. By now, most of us have known both ups and downs – I seek someone who is wiser and stronger for those experiences, someone who has developed a more sober and fuller perspective on life.
I want a partner willing to communicate fully, courageously, kindly and honestly. It's not easy but I feel it forms the basis for true intimacy and relationship durability.
I try to keep fit and look for that in my partner. I’m pretty active – I generally bike a couple of times a week on local trails and occasionally get in a round of golf.
My work affords me a substantial amount of free time (which I enjoy immensely). Besides just enjoying the Santa Cruz area, I love to travel and explore.
I'm very open with people in person but feel more reserved in this public forum. However, I've been told I should add a few more facts, so here goes-
I've twice been a Big brother in the Big Brother/Big Sister program. Both of my "littles" are quality people (and no longer little). It meant a lot to me to have that experience.
I've practiced law but have found my home in the field of education. I've taught internationally.
I've flown my own airplane over the Grand Canyon and rafted through the canyon as well.
I sang with a dance band at weddings in college.
All that said, I don't think you can really tell a lot from a person's profile. It comes down to chemistry and connection so if there's a possibility of interest I prefer to talk by phone or meet rather than exchange a lot of emails. I just get a much better sense of a person that way.
I've been asked why I've never married. I am looking for a committed relationship and understand the concern someone would have. I've had long term relationships, loved deeply and experienced the pain of losing love. I have learned a lot - both about myself and about what it takes to make a relationship work - and feel I have developed relationship skills that will serve me well when that special woman comes along.

Meet a man from California, United States. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York (hey, you gotta problem wi' dat?) and have been living and working in Santa Cruz County for over 12 years (out of 20 in California.) I love this area of the world, from San Francisco to Big Sur, and I'm looking for someone with whom to share it. Henry Miller wrote that Big Sur is "...the Creator smiling at Himself in the Mirror of Eternity." Wow! My friends describe me as intelligent, creative, cultured, compassionate, funny and eccentric. Some people 'march to the beat of a different drummer' - I live and move in rhythm and/or syncopation to a symphony orchestra, a jazz quartet, a folk-rock group, a sacred music choir and a hot Latino band. (Not all playing at once, please!!) Beethoven said "Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life." Man, was he a heavy dude! I love animals and support many animal rights, rescue and adoption agencies. I love this planet and I'm a member of several environmental and conservation groups. Mother Teresa said "We can do no great things, only small things with great love." She was awesome! Humor and comedy are also extremely important in my life. Bob Hope said "Laughter is internal jogging" - I try to run a marathon every day! Well, if you've gotten this far, you're either mildly curious about me or you're a fanatic for quotations! I'll leave you with my favorite - from Curly of the Three Stooges: "Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!" Amen!

Meet a man from California, United States. I want to share the natural beauty of Santa Cruz: The forest, beaches, sunsets.
I have a sunny disposition and am blessed with great health. I'm an incurable optimist and have an open heart, and am a confirmed sensualist- cuddling, neck rubs, and flowers.
I am looking for someone who has the time to be involved in a committed relationship. Mutual attraction and chemistry start things going, but what is really great is communication, flexibility and feeling comfortable together. Laughing, tickling and being discreetly nutty definitely helps!
I enjoy working around the house and backyard, with the oak trees, a stream, lots of birds and other beautiful creatures.
I would like to meet someone who lives in Santa Cruz county (or very close and would enjoy coming here to meet).

Date people from California, United States. I am a fit and active person into running, golf, tennis, skiing, travel and exploring. Life is too short not to be having fun. I love trying new things, going to new places. I also like to spend quality time with that special person. A quiet dinner, a walk on the beach, watching the sun set, a glass of wine and going to movies. I enjoy wine including the process of how good wine comes to be made. I am emotionally secure and not afraid to share my feelings. I am seeking a woman who knows who she is and loves life. Not necessarily a person who loves or does everything that I do, but is active and stays fit. If you think you are that person I would love to meet, get to know who you are and explore the world in front of us.
