Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Wheat Ridge, 36 year old

Date people from Wheat Ridge, United States. Me...I am a laid back person who is willing to take risks and try new things. I can be a bit shy at first, but then again aren't we all a little bit shy in new situations. Once I have reached my comfort level though, I am outgoing and a lot fun. I think I possess a strong sense of direction in my life and I know what I want.
My passions are camping, hiking (I will climb pretty much any mountain), backpacking, traveling, soccer and photography.
As I have gotten older I think I have learned to appreciate the little things in life. I think life is all about taking the time to enjoy the moment that you are currently in and not living in the what could have been or the what might be.
Hmmm...my perfect match? Well I dont believe in perfect matches since we all have our imperfections, but here are some traits that I feel are important. I think honesty is very important, it is the foundation of any friendship and/or relationship. Direction, it doesn’t matter if it is North, East, South, or West you just need to pick a direction and have the means to head that way. A passion for life is also very important; I think you have to have something in your life that you live for. Last but not least my match will be someone that understands the importance of developing a strong friendship in a relationship.
