Date a soulmate from Thousand Oaks, United States. The greatest things in life are the simple and small pleasures that nature has to offer only if we slow down to enjoy them.An ideal match would be someone who would be easy going and open to quiet adventure without bringing the complexities of modern life too much into the picture.Iam open and respectful to all interest's that an ideal match could bring into a relationship.
Meet someone special from Thousand Oaks, United States. I am an A type personality who can't sit still, works and plays hard, and probably works too much. My 11 yo son is my best accomplishment in life, although, like me, he is a work in progress!!
My close friends have been close friends for 30 years or longer-I have been very fortunate to connect with people with whom I have stayed in touch through distance and time.
I have spent my life in the auto repair industry, own 2 sucessful repair businesses and my existence is completely gearhead-driven. I specialize in the modern MINI Cooper and we take care of everything from simple maintenance to large modifications on them. My self confidence has never been higher and I like being in charge and making the big decisions. I have traveled by motorcycles all over the U.S. and Canada, but I no longer ride. I love California and all it offers although it is expensive to live here so you gotta work!
I grew up in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan, and moved to SoCal in the late 70s. I hate the cold/winter/rain/cloudy days and my moods are affected by the weather, but at least I am aware of it! I am very physical and have a high sex drive, and have lived long enough to accept that as normal and just a part of who I am. My "Ideal Match" is a bit success driven and can stand on her own two feet. Probably a professional of some type that works and plays hard as well. I tend to like women who are tomboys and anyone with blue or green eyes grabs my attention!
Much of my life is controlled by schedules so someone who is spontaneous could be a good thing to help break me out of my routines.
My skills in the Automotive business have given me many other areas to excel in-there is little I can't repair around the house. Seems like I am always rebuilding something at the small house I share with my son, this month it was fences, next month will be the great ceiling project! I like to laugh and have a good, if somewhat wicked sense of humor, and don't mind poking fun at myself a bit. Someone who is capable and happy in thier professional life and likes to laugh will complement me well. I enjoy Long conversations about any subject-if I know nothing about it, I will listen and learn from you, and likewise will convey whatever knowledge and opinions I have on something, if you are interested. On Sunday mornings, drinking some good coffee with the Sunday paper is one thing I try to do to keep myself planted and still for an hour. I also like to read novels, have read and re-read all the Harry Potter books and own all the movies-we are huge HP fans around my house! Also Sue Graftons "alphabet" series, and most suspenseful book that is not science fiction. I know that makes the Potter series a contradiction, but star wars and planet of the apes type stuff is too far fetched for me.
Someone to spend time with and have adult conversation with ( I love my son but I can only take so much discussion at an 11 year old level) and get out to a movie/play/just coffee/whatever would be nice. My son spends 2 weeks a month with me and 2 with his mom, so I have some free time available. AND I'm looking for that all important CHEMISTRY-WOMEN AND MEN FEEL IT WHEN IT HAPPENS!! hoping it happens again for me-is it you?
Date single man from Thousand Oaks, United States. I am an easy-going fun loving man who is looking for a woman that either is or will become my soulmate. I love to play golf, listen to and play music (guitar), and explore the outdoors. One of my passions is to just take off driving up or down the coast and find those little out of the way diners or interesting places. I am romantic and very affectionate with my partner so she (you) would never lack for an arm around your shoulder or a hand to hold.
My ideal match must be introspective, not necessarily quiet, but thoughtful when it comes to knowing herself and what she wants. She must be able to kiss like it was the last kiss. She must be able to laugh with me, at me, and maybe most important, at herself.
She should be able to take pleasure and interest from the smallest of things, perhaps a hundred year old derelict shack we may see on a road trip, or eating chunks of lobster from hot drawn butter at an elegant restaurant. She must be as willing to celebrate my victories in life as well as hang through the times of defeat, scarcity and rough seas.
Meet someone special from California, United States. **See bottom of this section for explanation of my dating profile headline.
I wake up in the morning feeling some amazement that I have another day. I am inquisitive, philosophical, introspective, and wise. I observe what is going on around me and inside me. I love to learn. I am rather brainy, but I don't flaunt it (usually).
I can fix nearly anything. I really can. Except other people. I can't do that (although there are a few people I would like to experiment on). But around the house, I'm your 'go-to' guy.
As you can see from my primary photo, I can really get inside someone else's head. Bah - dum - BUM!!!
I enjoy simple pleasures. Just rolling out a sleeping bag and sleeping on the back patio on a summer night is an incredible treat.
I love hiking, fly fishing, snow skiing, water skiing, bicycling, running, skating, windsurfing, camping, golf, and road trips. I love listening for owls at night or watching them nest in nearby caves. California Quail nest in the shrubs out front, and I enjoy watching them grow from chicks to adults. I speak California Quail, but Match does not have a check box for that language.
I love music. My mother was a piano teacher and my father played violin. I took piano lessons when I was young and have played on and off over the years. Mostly off I guess, but I have taken steps to change that. I am a musician in the sense that I love doing it. Right now I am working on a piano solo arrangement of "My Heart Will Go On". I enjoy attending live music performances (usually preceded by dinner at an interesting restaurant and perhaps followed by a few games of pool afterward).
Oh yeah. I almost forgot. I can wiggle my ears, and I like to sneeze!
I am interested in dating, which ideally will lead to a long term relationship. I want to share thoughts and ideas freely with my partner. I want to be with a woman who does not fear being challenged at times. My compatible mate will not feel threatened by my abilities, but rather, will celebrate them and welcome them into her life. I will celebrate her abilities and welcome them into mine.
I am looking for someone who has a well developed level of integrity, or at least recognizes the value of it and is willing to work on it. I believe the basis of integrity is the integration of the parts of one's being. Integration -- Integrity? Do you see the connection? Integrity implies that one does not bounce around between disparate, fragmented, and compartmentalized personalities. The left hand knows what the right hand is doing. The inside is integrated with the outside.
Here are some of the books I have read recently. Are any on your list? If so, let's get some coffee and discuss.
Red Summer.
The Audacity of Hope.
Dreams from My Father.
A Walk In The Woods.
Hooked - Pirates, Poaching And The Perfect Fish.
The Kite Runner.
Wesley The Owl.
Who's Your Caddy?
The Life And Times of The Thunderbolt Kid.
Life of Pi.
The Intellectual Devotional.
Into The Wild.
Peace Like A River.
The Road.
A Brief History of Time.
The Universe in A Nutshell.
Vivekananda - Lessons in Classical Yoga.
Blue Latitudes.
Are there any books you have read that you recommend? I'll take a look at them.
Thanks for checking out my match profile. I look forward to hearing from you.

**My dating profile headline is (jokingly) based on a lecture on relationships that I attended. The speaker described a study that determined the 3 most important things in relationships for women and men.
For women (not in any particular order):
1. Conversation.
2. Financial security.
3. Help around the house.
For men (not in any particular order):
1. Acceptance of who they are.
2. Common interests.
3. C'mon. Do I really have to tell you???

Meet a man from Thousand Oaks, United States. I was blessed to know my deceased wife , Lana for almost 25 years . We loved each physically (initially) and gradually on a mental level. We were best friends. We could be alone together forgetting the rest of the world and her medical fears and my work problems. She fought to stay alive and I was always there for her , driving her to hundreds , if not thousands of medical appointments. We loved to talk about politics , gamble , watch TV , movies and eat out. She would supervise me and watch me taking care of her garden , cooking , etc. . She loved to be touched and I loved to be affectionate. When she was young she danced on tables as I worried she would fall. She walked then , played racketball , basketball as she had two legs. Later she had to retire as an RN due to her diabetes as she became legally blind and started dialysis due to kidney failure. She was the bravest person I ever knew. We were trying for a second kidney transplant when she died suddenly on 5/3/10... Our wedding video is on You Tube,"Lana and Jerry VanEe's Wedding". It explains a lot about us if you care to watch it and read her love story posted by her grandson Ryan. "Elvis and the Rev. Earl" was written by Lana to a scramble friend. Her friend told me about it after she passed away.******** If you are an intelligent nuturing woman who has a smile that says I'm alive and want to live and who may want children , please wink or e-mail me. If you are a golfer that's terrific as only golfers know how golf rivals really good sex. You must be faithful. There will be no second chances. Honesty and loyalty have been the two most important qualities that I cherish. You must be ready to fight fair in a relationship because in every union comes stress and change . I am attracted to very intelligent women who are slender or athletic. I am more than willing to teach you how to play golf at my golf course. Saticoy C.C. which is one of the greenest most difficult courses in California...
