Date men from United States / Alabama / Lafayette, 45 year old
Date a soulmate from Alabama, United States. I was at Shalimar (Indian restaurant) the other night when a fight broke out! The cook and customer started to grab each other from across the register! I stepped in "Hang on..hang on!" separating them "I've been sitting over there waiting a a half an hour to get my food and I need to get my Saag Paneer w naan to go please!" Stupid...I know.... but I would have never got my food if I didn't step right in. And they forgot the coke! Could I have been motivated to do this from watching so many Seinfeld re-runs from years ago?
Ok, now that I have you, you need to know the eyes are important to me. I can see it in our eyes, whether we will be friends or lovers, as we dine, enjoying each other's company. Do you feel the same way?
A little bit about me. I enjoy finger picking the guitar and singing...I could be the guy in the corner filling in the empty spaces of silence or the man of your dreams hitting all the right notes.
I like smells...they can take me places and bring up distant memories (leather, scent of a woman, campfire, pine trees, the beach, dad's old pipe tobacco).
1. Hobbies: Music, guitar/singing, swimming, Bikram yoga, soccer pickup games barefoot, hiking, camping, beach football and frisbee, getting together with friends, going to concerts or sporting events - tennis/baseball/soccer.
3. About myself: I admire big families. I have a sensitive nose (a good thing). I'm tall and I can impersonate people.
Music: Elliot Smith, Muse, 80's, 90's, Eric Clapton Unplugged, Zeppelin, Rush, My Morning Jacket..and more.
I'm really good at:
smiling a lot...
breaststroke (that's my best stroke...you know swimming!)
making people laugh
good conversation with a nice bottle of wine.
Singing and playing the guitar
Making breakfast
.... .. ...
What I''m doing with my life:Taking care of my daughter (she gets organic fruits and vegeees), growing my business, coaching soccer, traveling to new destinations...last month Waikiki, Manhattan Beach - Never thought LA could be so beautiful; last weekend camping Big Sur...no comparison. Searching for a new band to play in.
Meet someone special from Alabama, United States. Decided to try Match to go beyond my circle of friends or the bar/club scene which gets old quickly (and who really has time for it).
I'm an active professional looking for a similarly active and outgoing professional woman, to enjoy time together, get to know each other and see where it may lead. Would be nice to start as friends who share love for music, dancing, skiing, hiking, tennis and travel, and like to learn/try new things. From there things will fall in place if they are meant to...
What else about me? Although I do finance for a living, I am told I have a great sense of humor and can be very funny. Like most of us these days, my work keeps me very busy, but I do manage to take time to play and to keep things balanced. I eagerly try new things, places, restaurants; Similarly, love to travel and do whenever I can get away.
Can be quite serious when the situation calls for it, but more often than not I don't take myself too seriously. Life's too short.
I have an almost grown up daughter who's off to college. I love dogs though don't have one at the moment. Like and had cats too.
I enjoy spending time with friends, but I can be just as happy taking time out for myself what for for me means music, some reading and good red wine. I ski a lot which means many wintertime weekends in Tahoe (or wherever it snows) so my ideal match needs to be able to handle cold some of the time (skiers or snowboarders get most points :) Summers by the lake are just as wonderful.
To sum it up, really hoping to find that special lady to laugh with, dance with, learn from and have long conversations with, and just enjoy the company, preferably with a glass of good wine. If you are looking for someone to keep you active, but also stimulate and challenge intellectually, you should not be disappointed. You hope for a romance, but to build a true and lasting partnership we
need a few things in common, a good dose of chemistry, open communication, trust, respect, and ideally a mutual desire to connect at a deeper level.
In the meantime, I wake up every day, smile and tell myself that today is the 1st day of the rest of my life. So live it and share it.
Date single man from Alabama, United States. Where to start... It's obvious I don't have a career in Sales. I'm currently separated and looking for someone to have dinner, see a movie, have a conversation with, bum around and explore the bay area, etc.......
Not sure where this road in life is going, but I'd like to travel with someone who's not afraid to give it a whirl with me.
Meet a man from Alabama, United States. I'm not going to bore you by telling you how wonderful I am by adding a bunch of awesome adjectives. I'm sure you've heard it all. So why not start off with the bad stuff - Can't stand spiders, cried twice when I watched PS I Love You (what was I thinking). I cuss to often (being from New York doesn't help). At times I stay up way too late - love the night time - at times it can be magical. I have no patience for flakes or fake people. I do enjoy walks on the beach, weekend getaways, music, dancing, cooking, going out to dinner and the theatre, kissing, and spending time with family and friends.
Looking for someone to be my best friend, lover, partner.... To be there through the good and bad. Someone to fall madly in love with.
Date a soulmate from United States. I hope to attract a beautiful woman who can make me smile and share experiences with me as we take in all of the beauty we are surrounded by. I am grateful for all of the wonderful friends I have that support me and help me to continue to learn and grow in this life. I am passionate about staying creative and looking for ways to express myself. I hope to find someone with similar interest that I can learn from and grow with. My social life is a bit quiet and I have a small group of close friends.
I am very active and want to find someone who also likes being busy exploring and learning new things. I like mountain biking, disc golf and running. I ran the Bolder Boulder ( a 10K race) this year in 48 minutes but I can do better than that. My best mile was a 6:39, not bad. I also like quiet introspective surroundings like being near running water or viewing a star lit sky from a dark location. I especially like being around creative people whether it be by touring art galleries or working on projects with others. When I read I tend to read non-fiction books to improve my knowledge of many different topics but studying creativity and innovation is a favorite subject of mine.
Others describe me as intelligent, hard working, creative, kind, a great problem solver and they also say I have a big heart.
I'm not the typical male. I do not waste time sitting around drinking and watching sports. I'd rather be playing them or having an interesting conversation.
If you are looking for an active, intelligent man who looks forward to being with you and is not distracted by macho activities I am a great match for you.
My MBTI Personality Type is an INTJ and I scored very strong in each of the areas. I have tried to describe myself above but for a more in depth look check out Wikipedia. INTJs are one of the rarest of the sixteen personality types and account for about 1–2% of the population. It is the most independent of all personality types. INTJs want harmony and order in relationships. INTJs are known as the "Systems Builders" of the types, perhaps in part because they possess the unusual trait combination of imagination and reliability. What I like most about my type is how creative my personality type is. :)
Meet someone special from United States. Attractive, fun loving, funny, easy going, loves sex, can never get enough. really just looking and not all that interested in finding a mate.. new to this whole thing and really just checking it out.
Date single man from United States. I would describe myself as adventurous, open-minded, and friendly. I love to explore, to learn, to try new things, to see new places, and make new friends. I'd also say I am communicative, caring, compassionate, creative, romantic, and affectionate. I've been camping, exploring and enjoying Colorado since 1994 and have climbed numerous 14,000 mountains in Colorado, shorter mountains in New England, and camped and hiked throughout Colorado and the U.S. I love to hike, explore and climb! I also like to ice skate, ski, snowshoe and white water raft, or simply soak in hotsprings and drink wine. I've travelled throughout the West, but want to explore more places in the U.S. and abroad. While I'm outdoorsy, I'm also communicative, creative, and curious. I love to have deep, meaningful conversations along the trail, in a camp, over a good cup of coffee, or enjoying a great bottle of wine. I am people-oriented and love to get to know people. I admire intelligence, adventurousness, creativity, and openness in people. I admire artistically creative people, such as musicians, writers and photographers for the beauty they create for the world and their willingness to ask us to change the world for the better, and the environmentalists who remind us to be better stewards of the planet. I'm inspired by the caring, dedicated people who staff non-profit organizations. Not only am I outdoorsy, but I love the arts, music and art museums. I play guitar and sing. I love going to concerts at Red Rocks, the Pepsi Center, Chautauqua, Boulder Theater, and the outdoor Planet Bluegrass concert grounds in Lyons. I've attended great performances of Jackson Browne, Chris Isaak, Stevie Nicks, Peter Gabriel, Bonnie Raitt and Cheryl Crow at Red Rocks, and numerous folk artists and folk music in Lyons. I love seeing my friends band perform...and I know many bands. I love folk music, bluegrass, classic rock, Blues and maybe a little country rock from time-to-time.
What I am seeking in a partner? I want to be with women who is open-minded, adventurous, earthy, caring, affectionate, sensual, healthy, philosophical, and centered. I love being with women who are willing to wander off the beaten path from time to time, and who follows her life path guided more by her hear and intuition. I like being with woman who knows how to love, to live and who take risks from time to time. I want to meet a woman with a similar adventurous, romantic, caring and loving spirit. If you are that woman, contact me. Let's be adventurous, sensual affectionate and romantic together!
Meet a man from United States. I've lived in the Boulder area for over 20 years and still love it. The area suits my healthy and active lifestyle. I also liking helping people and working with kids which is why I teach. So, I'm a guy who lives in the Boulder area who likes to exercise and be outdoors--what a surprise.
I enjoy going on social bike rides and hikes together. I also like dining out or cooking dinner together at home, going out to movies or renting, dancing (I swing and salsa dance), stimulating conversation, taking a walk in a park holding hands, or just hanging out at a coffee shop together. Also, don't want to forget catching a basketball or baseball game as well as a comedy show. So, like everyone, I'm looking for someone that is honest, communicates openly, and see the humorous side of things.
So, if you've read this far, you know what I like, so here's my best to convey what I am like. I know when to plan for the future, but I live in the moment. I'm cool in stressful situations. I'm comfortable with who I am. I'm a jeans and t-shirt type of guy, but I know how to dress for the occasion. I value my friends, family, and relationships. I'm independent and don't tend to do things because it's what everyone else is doing.
Date a soulmate from Lafayette, United States. Well like i said looking for dating and maybe to see what happens in the longer run. Would prefer educated lady. Kids are okay as i have my own "not at home" and have been a single dad for a long time.
Meet someone special from Lafayette, United States. Hi , my name is Michael and thanks for taking the time to browse .I am a very happy , modest , normal kind of guy. I act and feel and look 10 years younger than I am. My simple view about life is " to play the hand you're dealt" , and as such I have a good attitude about dealing with all life's little obstacles and adventures. I am grateful to have accumulated very little baggage to this point of time in life ( divorce included ) .
. I am a very artistic and creative person and i love to daydream about new inventions or artistic creations. If I had to do it all over again I probably would have become an architect or a starving artist !
I would like to meet someone who is mellow , witty , kind and compassionate. I regard myself as a gentleman , and chivalry on my part is a must. Hopefully you will be happy in your life , and excited about the new adventures that are just around the corner. I would like to meet some one who is stylish and feminine , ( but without the "bling" ) ! , some one who is just as comfortable dressed to the nines , as they would be sitting around a smokey camp fire.
My favorite sports are skiing and golf . I would love to go and see The Masters some time , so if you have any connections within the PGA , that would be great .My favorite sporting outing is to go to the Pepsi Center and watch the Nuggets ( even if they are all a bunch of overpaid thugs ). I recently went to my first Rockies game and I loved the whole experience , even though I still have a lot to learn about understanding the game. I am from Ireland and we don't really have baseball there.
I went to college in England , and played on the college basketball team - I used to think I was pretty good , but when I moved here to America , I saw how the game should be played and so now I have a much more modest opinion of my skills ! I still love
shooting around and playing one on one , but after a bad hamstring pull a couple of years ago I stopped playing in leagues.
I've been very fortunate to travel around the world , and if I didn't live here in Colorado I would like to have settled in Australia. Australians just have the best attitudes and approach to life and don't get too worked up about stuff.
Before Colorado I lived in Santa Barbara and that was a hard place to leave , but I still prefer living here.
In conversations I tend to prefer doing the asking and listening. I like Guiness , I like to people watch at airports , I love architecture and old castles , I like cold weather , and if my ship comes in I want to go to the winter Olypmics in Russia in 2014.
Ok now for the serious stuff. I am emerging from a recent divorce , a very healthy and civil one I might add ,unlike some of the horror stories that you hear about out there. My ex wife is a true lady and a great mother to our 8 year old boy. He is just a fantastic kid , the kind of guy who will be the defender of the weak against the school yard bully , and that makes me very proud.
My favorite movies are Caddyshack , Meet Joe Black , Braveheart , and the Shawshank Redemption.
Favorite tv shows : 60 minutes , The Good Wife and I should really seek out some kind of treatment for my addiction to the Discovery Channel !
Homeless people , panhandlers , and people who are down and out sadden me , and I always keep a stash of cash in my truck
and try to be as genorous as I can with such folk. I am no saint myself , but it is a good feeling to make a gesture of kindness to a stranger - I am a liberal in case you haven't figured it out yet !
And please , if I or some other guy sends you an email to introduce themselves take the time to respond : there are a million and one ways to politely say you are not interested .
Date single man from Lafayette, United States. I just want to have fun. Play Golf, go snowboarding, camping, anything outdoors. Love going to concerts. Red Rocks is the best place I've ever seen shows, I love it there. Seen Stevie Nicks, Metalica, B52, Warp tours. I was in the skateboard, snowboard business for a long time. Still love it. More later.
Meet a man from Lafayette, United States. Here is where the line "what do you do" falls like water over the dam. When does that song that you cannot remember the name of really matters. I just like a heavy rhythm section like when Thievery Corporation gets in the groove. Or when Cold Play starts to quote The Scientist and the piano is a real piano. I like a quiet beach with the wind howling in my ears, if that makes sense. I like to make use of all my senses fully, sometimes to a fault. Let it rain and lightning rumble because there is no controlling that. I see a lot of need in the world. I think that bicycles are important and are never really all used up.
