Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Boulder, 45 year old

Date a soulmate from Colorado, United States. "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ~ Mark Twain
Originally from the beaches and city of NY, I left the surf and bright lights behind to be closer to the mountains. Spent a few years in VT, and now call CO home. I enjoy taking part in life each day and not allowing it to pass me by. I have many diverse interests and hobbies. I like to do some sort of training / workout / outdoor activity daily and compete in multiple sports from solo activities such a marathons to team sports like rugby and everywhere in between. I've been tossing the idea of entering into the world of Tris or cyclocross and have my eye on paddle boarding this summer. I have a lot more interests than just being an athletic outdoor enthusiast as culture and social engagements are a big part of who I am. I enjoy the balance of working hard, playing hard and dig mellow times. I live for developing my spirit, body and mind and strive for continual growth. I strongly believe in kindness, honesty and mutual respect for others and our surroundings. I believe life is a wonderful adventure that we should all actively take part in. I'm hoping to meet someone that values great conversation, communication and compromise. Like you I have many preferences of the person that I would like to meet and a select few must haves. It'll come down to our chemistry, compatibility and mutual respect. A non believer in playing games of the heart but a huge fan of smiling, living life and deep belly laughs.
I would love to meet my best friend. Someone with whom I have a 50/50 relationship with. With the knowledge that sometimes it might go 90/10 or 30/70 but in the end it all averages out. Someone who is truly present. Growth is equally important for you both together and individually. A woman who can hold her own on a night out on the town or dig just being in my arms next to a campfire in the middle of no where. You don't mind lifting a few weights or waking up at 6am (OK 8am) for a run to start the day or perhaps we stay in, draw the blinds and lose site of time all together. You are equally happy going out to dinner, twirling on the dance floor and having a few glasses of wine to end the day. A good kind hearted person who loves life and wants to live it. I see the twinkle in her eyes and the smile on her face, in a sun dress, in hiking boots and a fleece, or heels and that little black dress. Let's always look to keep it new, alive, exciting and active.
Let's start out today by being a belay buddies to hit a local crag, OR spotters for one another in the gym OR fellow yogi to Bikram sweat or Vinyasa flow, OR companion on long runs or rides, OR someone to dip on the dance floor, OR snowboarding partners to laugh through the trees powder, OR friends to check out the newest art exhibit or live show, OR fellow foodie to stir things up in the kitchen and/OR a connection to share philosophies and stories with for hours over a bottle (or two) of wine or cups of Hot Chai Tea.
Winks are nice but dropping me a hello is preferred.
I'm certainly not perfect and don't expect my partner to be either. But what I'd like is to be perfectly imperfect in someone's eyes and to give that gift back in return. Let's see if we can find that spark and create a fire.

Meet men and women from Colorado, United States. There was once a little boy with big blue eyes who would sit impatiently in school staring out the window knowing somewhere out there was the special girl made just for him. He could not wait to grow up and go find her. The passing years carried him on adventures...to successes and failures, through joys and heartbreaks...and all the while a tiny piece inside his heart ached because he was not experiencing these with this one magic girl.
If you are the one whose heart beats the same as mine...take my hand and join me on the adventures that await. I'm fearless and I'm loyal, and when I find something I love, I love it with every ounce of my heart. The two most important things I've ever done are to have founded a program in which college students guide disadvantaged children in life choices; and to have always given my heart completely. I believe in the words of Hellen Keller that you only get one life to live, but if you live it right one is enough. I whitewater kayak, I've competed as a boxer and worked as a fitness trainer. I've run my own business. I'm also a writer and photographer.
I'm looking for a special girl with the courage to feel deeply...whose eyes can get moist watching the sun melt into the ocean, then will stay up all night with me writing a poem expressing what she felt. She is out there somewhere wondering why I have not yet found her; I will never stop searching for her, until the day my eyes finally look deeply into hers. Could you be Her?

Date people from Colorado, United States. - hhhmmm ... Well, I am not exactly sure what I want to put in here, but... lets see…I would describe myself as simple, but adventurous.
I enjoy the simple things in life, but I like to do, and try, new things. I like to be out in nature / the great outdoors; I like to exercise (hike, golf, ski, bike, etc...); I like cooking together, I like movies; I love to travel and wish I could do more of it. but I also like doing the simple things - staying at home, cooking together, watching a movie, going for a simple hike, or walk, going out for coffee (tea), or dinner, etc...
- The type of woman I am looking for is … well I guess it’s hard to say. I am pretty flexible and open minded. I am looking for someone that is sweet and kind. I hope she loves the great outdoors, and loves to hike, golf, ski, bike, exercise, etc… I hope she loves to travel /or explore new places / see new things. I want her to have an adventurous spirit
- I am hoping to find love ... I want more than just a relationship or finding new friends (but it is ok if I encounter those along the way).
- Whether I appear it or not, I guess I am kind of a shy person, and I am not sure about this whole online dating thing. I am also an INFP .... for those of you who know what that is / means.

Meet single man from Colorado, United States. I'm someone who doesn't like to be defined by what others think I should do or how I should be. I'm a dreamer who goes after his dreams and sometimes fails, sometimes succeeds. I don't think we were put here to work ourselves to death, yet I am very willing to work hard for things I value. I like to enjoy the outdoors and think Colorado is one of the greatest places on the planet. I love live music and the many venues we have in the front range. I'm happy after a long powder day, sitting around a campfire, or dining in a nice restaurant enjoying a lively debate or a quiet conversation. I could live in a tent for weeks on end and be happy, but I also love the finer things in life. I enjoy figuring out problems as well as avoiding them. I think life should be lived to its fullest each and everyday. I'm passionate about skiing and hockey. I love to travel.
I'm originally from the burbs of Chicago, and lived in the city for ten years before moving to Boulder 12 years ago. My friends jokingly call it Shangri La due to the lifestyle, the music, the mountains and all the different ways to have fun. I'm having a great time watching my daughter grow up in such a great place.
I'm looking for someone who is outgoing and energetic, someone who likes to participate in life. You should love the outdoors, love to eat great food, drink great wine, and love to be social. I'm looking for someone to share trips to scuba, ski, or just sight see. Someone who enjoys a live sporting event or a quiet night at a great restaurant, in a nutshell I'm looking for someone to enjoy life.

Date someone special from Colorado, United States. I am a very enthusiastic, funny, and adventurous guy who is looking for a special woman. I've been lucky enough to travel all over this world. Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, Costa Rica,... comprise my traveling experience so far but I would love to share more adventures with you.
I grew up here in Colorado and I enjoy being so close to my family and friends. Snowboarding at Mary Jane in the winter, camping/fishing in the Rocky Mountains during the summer, traveling to another beautiful destination, there is so much to see and do are you ready to come along?

Meet a man from Colorado, United States. I am also a ski bumm (36yrs), a scuba diver(6yrs), beach bound(lifetime), wine maker(less then 1 yr), nomadic homebody (walking contradiction), dancing fool, jack of all trades(master of some), awesome story teller(bullshiter), Boulder Realtor (16yrs) and elementary ed school teacher/substitute (21yrs) and apparently I like numbers after these short discriptions.
I never married nor had any children and have spent most of my adult life in a few committed relationships. People close to me know I am fun loyal and talkative. I cook, clean, play, and make a great travel companion if you like to meet new people and party (or stay at home and chill, which is most of life) then maybe we should meet up and see if we are compatable. My job provides me the luxury of a good living while being able to dictate my own schedule. I suppose I could be different but need "proper instruction" to succeed at what women want - as I find you all fascinating! I think I need loyalty, honesty, and good love to survive and prosper. Don't we all? or is it structure love and discipline?
I enjoy life and tend to take a little more from it then other people do, because I can.
I like to travel when I am not skiing or working.
I have been single for awhile (few years now) but completely amazed at the FREAK FACTOR going on with dating these days.
I found lots of liars, old photos, and ladies real insecure with themselves, which is not what I am looking for. I am a simple man with simple needs, really complex things are faster then the speed of light.
What I am looking for is a friend and lover who enjoys the journey of life, wants to have a family or be a family with me, is understanding, is loving, is confident, is educated (at least by school of life), is supportive of my uniqueness (nerdy/badass or walking contradiction or idiot/savant) who enjoys travel and experiencing new cultures (I get down and dirty with the locals everywhere I go), one who likes to share as much as I do (no stinginess), someone not too bitchy as I don’t treat people bad and expect the same in return. I like to spend time on the beech in swimwear so confident women are good, as well as snuggling together, cuddly, one who wants to grow old together, etc, etc, blah, blah, blah, I could go on and on. I enjoy meeting new people and don’t expect any sparks, unless there are sparks between us, then that is what I am looking for, to put myself out there until I find someone special to me. I know I am a real catch because: I CAN listen to women, I cook, I clean, I can fix things, I do yoga, I care about myself and others, I respect, I love and so very much more. Ha ha ha Did I mention I was a funny guy.

Date a soulmate from Boulder, United States. I'm enthusiastic about a number of pursuits, but not obsessively so; I've run a few marathons, but not for time (most recent was Fruita in April); I road and mountain bike; took my kids skiing to every mountain in Colorado; am PADI certified; climbed the 3rd Flatiron (ok, that’s not terribly impressive); ridden the White Rim a few times; and done a number of other things that slip my mind.
In the past several years I’ve become increasingly focused on social justice issues. I volunteer extensively in Boulder (MESA, Safehouse, BCSO, BCC/Homeless Shelter) and internationally (voluntourism in Central/South America and Africa). I have a kiva.org account and, apparently, I’m also on the hook for three boarding school students at a High School in Fiji (if they don’t maintain a 3.0 average I’m cutting off their Internet).
I’ll go to any concert but prefer a strong dance beat. Ting Tings, Hell’s Belles, and Gogol Bordello have been fun, but I also enjoyed the less-danceable El Vez.
If I had a maxim (other than my magazine subscription) it would be "How you do anything is how you do everything." While not a perfectionist, it means that when I do something I'm committed.
Hmmm, what else? I live near Pearl St and prefer riding my bike downtown over driving; I help old ladies cross the street (unless I’m in my car, in which case I have no patience for old ladies); I tip well; I maintain friendships; I cook; the star I most resemble? -- Brad, Antonio, Orlando ... it's all in the lighting; and my favorite colors are purple and green.
Ok, I�ve surpassed my limit for self-disclosure.
YOU: smart, like to travel internationally (LP, not Four Seasons; and carry-on baggage only...seriously), funny, think I'm funny (very important, I should probably move that to the head of the list), like some outdoor activity, don't like Porsches (I don't have one), and enjoy your career.

Meet men and women from Boulder, United States. Professional, fit, stable. Love the outdoors, being active, but love relaxing time at home as well. I have two beautiful healthy, smart children. I am generally flexible, but definitely want a positive, happy person to share life with. There is so much healthy fun to enjoy. Looking for a similarly optimistic best friend.

Date people from Boulder, United States. What to say about myself?
I really like riding bikes and going for a run. Gotta keep moving. There is nothing better than a big ride in the morning and an afternoon happy hour with friends. I work hard and play hard. Subsequently I often relax hard. I enjoy cooking. I think I am pretty good at it and others seem to agree. I like hosting parties / bbqs for friends. It gives me a chance to fire up the smoker and make some food for others. I like watching movies. There is a lot of movie quoting between me and my friends. I like having a veggie garden. It's great to be able to grow your own food. Even though we don't always see eye to eye, I couldn't be without my dog. I love animals. I've enjoyed traveling and when I am really lucky, I get to travel and ride bikes. I value my friends. My family all lives out of state so my friends are my surrogate family. I'm quite a kidder and story teller. My friends would say I'm the funny one. Life's too short to be worked up and serious. I like to make people laugh. I think life is about connections, so I try to make every one a good experience. Be kind to others and they will be kind to you. I am stable, intelligent, witty, kind, loyal, a bit of a romantic, and so much more.
As for what I am looking for. I am looking for someone to share experiences with. Life is more fun when you have someone to say "Did you see that? Wasn't it amazing?" I would like to be with someone who makes being active a priority. Someone to get into shenanigans with and occasionally hijinx. Someone who is confident. Someone who is fun to be with. Someone who is present and mindful. Someone that will tell me a story and make me laugh. Maybe someone just like you.

Meet single man from Boulder, United States. My closest friends would describe me as dependabe, trustworthy and a damn good cook. What makes me smile is hiking to the top of a mountain or seeing the end of a long trail that was just hiked in some beautiful country side, and that beer that is waiting for me at the nearest resturant or bar close by.
I am most proud of my daughter she is graduating college in a couple of months and she is a very intellegent and beautiful girl. I am very grateful she turned out so great.
Hoping to attract a woman of like mindedness, with good moral values and somone that works very hard as well as plays just as diligently. She needs to be able to keep up with me in all my endevors to have fun...lol.
My social life varies with my work schedule, I try to plan activities that I can do even during my work weeks. I do have a week off every month and this allows me to travel quite a bit.
What am I looking for in a relationship? A woman who is not afraid to show me her culinary arts, as well as her interest in wines. Some one that can be up front and blunt if necessary and tell me really what is on her mind. Looking for someone that will treat me as well as I treat them. And believe me I will treat you well.
I am most passionate about my health living a clean lifestyle and keeping my mind and body in good physical condition. I love to travel when given the opportunity. And making sure my daughter is prepared to engage in a full life after she is done with her clinical psychology degree and she can stand on her own and pursue her dreams with dedication and commintment.

Date someone special from Boulder, United States. Update - pics are on the way but stuck in digital transit. I'm probably looking for the same thing a lot of us on here are looking for. You know, the person who get's me, and who I get in return. The one who's comfortable to be around. She enjoys enough of the things that matter to me or are a part of my life and that I want to share. And yet she's probably got some pretty interesting things going on in her life too. A nice balance between comfort and enticing and challenging - in a healthy way of course. Probably someone as into athletics and health as I am but also a woman who appreciates that there's a whole lot beyond those things in life. While I go nuts if I miss my daily hikes or swims or rides, I realize that at some point there may be other things I enjoy as much. Maybe a painting, a trip, a good cause. I think in most important things in life there's a tipping point one should recognize and that, if we have any wisdom at all, we realize where it is and say to ourselves, "wow, this is pretty darn good." "It's not perfect, but how long do I want to hold out for perfection." What I"m getting at is not an acceptance of mediocre relationships but more a commentary on how culturally and relationally we've - in my opinion and from anecdotal evidence - ended up perpetually waiting for perfection. I'm sure it's out there but it's probably not me and well, hell if it's you and you can put up with my faults you probably have patience, character and compassion - and a sense of humor about life. I have serious doubts that this is an effective way to meet someone with whom I mesh but it's probably entertaining and a way to meet interesting people and if the stars align just right . . . well who knows. Oh I should probably mention what I think I can provide in a relationship -= this is not an individual sport after all. I tend to be fairly compassionate and loyal, touchy feely for a guy but I balance that out well enough that I don't feel like a wuss when out with the guys. I'd likely be supportive of your goals and endeavors and values - unless they're just blimey goofy or out there - in which case we're obviously not a match. Hopefully this should be enough to give you some idea of who I am - as well as one of these can. Per my headline, though I easily entrain myself and have no problem going solo I do believe that a shared life can be so much richer on many different levels. So if any of this resonates with you please shoot me an email as I take advantage of this little Match.com marketing trial - they are so slick are they not - and I will do my best to respond. Pics on way as they are on another electronic device currently being repaired. Oh wait, there's a whole list of prompts to the right that I'm not sure I answered. . . let's see . . .. how would your friend's describe you? Selfish, arrogant bastard. Yeah but he's an idiot. Ahhh, head in the clouds dreamer. Yeah but he's an engineer. Hmmm. . . what makes you laugh out loud? Filling out Match.com descriptions. Cheers - good luck in your search. Thanks for reading!

Meet a man from Boulder, United States. Hi there!
I'm an active person looking for a partner to share life with. My passion is trail running, which I used to do competitively (marathon distance) but now just for fun. I love running the Boulder trails every day and compliment that with lots of yoga and cycling as well. I also have a strong spiritual practice that follows a primarily Eastern path including daily mediation.
I love good healthy food and sharing meals with others whether it be at home or down on Pearl St. I've done the corporate career thing in another life (Seattle actually) which was nice in that it provided financial security, but didn't have such great work/life balance (primary reason I'm single). But now I've righted that and have a pretty ideal situation where I am able to work from home for a local outdoor company. I've been fortunate to travel the world and still do occasionally (most recently Mt. Everest), but now find myself content to spend more time closer to home - there's just so much good stuff around here (Boulder trails, Indian Peaks/RMNP, Crested Butte, Moab, etc). I enjoy being around animals and love kids as well.
Important things in life for me are – being honest with ones self, personal growth and development of relationships. Whether one has a big house or lots of money really isn’t that important at the end of the day (don’t get me wrong, I like those things too but keep them in their place). Do you appreciate life’s simple pleasures – watching the sun rise or set, the sound of fresh snow as it crunches under your feet, the smell of the forest after a light spring rain, laughing till it hurts as a dog runs around in circles trying to catch its tail, or a child looking into your soul with a sense of amazement after learning something new? Those are the types of moments I cherish and how I now define success.
I’m looking for someone I can laugh with, cry with, enjoy the outdoors with, talk the hours away with and not even be aware of it or just sit together in complete silence not having to say anything because of the perfectness of the moment. If this sounds like you, please contact me now :-).
Thanks for taking a look at my profile...and have a wonderful day!!!
