Date men from United States / Arkansas / Oakland, 50 year old

Date a soulmate from Arkansas, United States. I am new to California and have lived in East Coast for over 20 years. I enjoy my work and do well, want to meet someone that can spend weekend with me since I am quite busy at work during the week. I like to travel and have been traveling around and want to have someone to travel with me at least twice a year.

Meet a man from Arkansas, United States. Its officially summer which means time for concerts, travel and fun. Lucky to live in this beautiful area aren't we?
Figured it was also a good time to do a quick update to the old profile and see if I could attract the "one" that seems so elusive.
Been doing this online thing for a while and I will say its been interesting. Haven't quite figured it out.
I suppose I should say a few things about myself. I'm a successful, secure, full time single Dad with two son's (one at home) who are old enough that they really don't demand much of my time anymore so here I am. I'm not much of a homebody - really prefer being out and about especially when the weather is good. I enjoy live performances (theater, concerts, comedy shows) as well as discovering the cool stuff in a lot of the smaller towns in the area. I love to laugh and hope you do too! It just makes the time pass by. Not into drama in the least. I think the sign of a potentially great relationship is a comfortable feeling and open honest communication.
Right now I'm just looking for someone fun to share some quality time with and see where it leads. I'm not looking for any specific criteria - which makes using Match's checklists sort of challenging. As long as you come open to the possibilities I think we can find something in common to initially connect with and if we can build upon that - great!
Hopefully this interests you and you send an email or a wink and we can meet for coffee and learn more about eachother.
Best of luck with your search. Hope its short and life changing.

Date single man from Arkansas, United States. Wise man say, only fools rush in. Please don't discount me just cuz I've never married or have childern. Just haven't met the right gal. Let's start off with a great friendship and see where that takes us.
I consider myself a great guy with much to offer. I am well-balanced, outgoing, adventurous and goal-oriented. Keeping physically and mentally fit is important to me. I like to work smart and play hard. My occupation is in the Supply Chain Planning. For fun, I like going out with friends, spending time with someone special, bike rides and stuff like that. I love to travel and explore. My musical taste is diverse, except for rap which I dislike.
My ideal match would be a woman that is confident, balanced, has personality and knows what she wants. We would know we hit it off after a first date if we feel the chemistry. A deal breaker would be a woman that is rude or inconsiderate. I am looking for a woman that is emotionally sound, what she does or how much education she has is not important. I am looking for a woman that wants to be best friends. Sound like you?

Date single man from Oakland, United States. I think how people grow up says a lot about them (although interpretation can be tricky).

As a kid I spent almost every waking moment on the beaches of Los Angeles (you couldn't tell now) and I remember thinking "why would anyone live more than a mile from the beach?" Not to mention the frigid East coast: "those guys must be CRAZY." But then one day I moved to Boston. And it was terrific! I didn't want to ever leave (although eventually I was pulled back West).
When I was young I used to read science fiction and fantasy all the time. I was in love with the idea of magic and unexplainable mysteries. So that left me with two career choices: (1) be a priest, or (2) be a physicist. Since I'm jewish I chose door #2. My brother likes to say that instead of reading science fiction I became a science fiction professor. I like to stress that I've removed the "fiction" part. I feel lucky because now, so many years later, I find that there really is magic in the world and I get to spend my time at work looking for it (at least when I'm not begging for grant money, but that's another story....).
Here's an embarrassing one: in my twenties I had a girlfriend who I was with for more than a year. One day during dinner she suddenly asked me "Could you ever picture us being married?" I pondered the question in my youthful (but pretty empty) brain and then honestly answered "No", since it was beyond me to picture myself married to anyone at that point. She broke up with me right on the spot (I was confused, I totally didn't get it). Years later, though, I DID get it. And I eventually married an amazing woman and we had a fabulous marriage for nine years, until she passed away from breast cancer. We had two kids and we weathered many storms together (including her illness), and those were the best nine years of my life (so far, at least; I remain an optimist).
Here's a good day: Sleep late, laze around the house in the morning, read NY Times w/ breakfast. Go to the park with my kids and some sandwiches. Meet up with friends, watch the kids play, scooter around. Cruise by the Berkeley Marina and check out the windsurfers and sailboats. Get dressed up, go out to a great restaurant w/ a great companion (leave kids w/ babysitter). If any part of that sounds good to you then I'd say we have something in common.
