Date men and women from United States / California, 37 year old - page 7

Date men and women from California, United States. My story: A New Yorker (born and raised 30 minutes outside of the city) who lived in Manhattan for 10 years. Five years ago, I retired from the rough East Coast winters and the stresses of the city to pursue a more relaxed life in San Diego. I continue to be very connected to New York (my family, close friends and colleagues are there) and return to visit frequently. Over the past few years, work obligations have required me to travel extensively, so it's been difficult to establish a life in San Diego. After a life-changing event late last year, I curtailed the incessant work travel to pursue a more grounded life in San Diego. My work has enabled me to visit and live in some amazing places (most recently Brazil) and the more time I spent away from San Diego, the more I realized how special this place is.
What I love to do: Since my childhood, I've been an athlete and after an injury ended my team sports career, I have pursued a long list of individual sports. These days, the foundation of my activities is a daily yoga practice (primarily vinyasa) and depending upon conditions/how I feel, I'll surf, stand-up paddleboard (surf and distance), climb (indoors or out) or run some hills. For those times when I'm not outdoors or in the yoga studio, I'm usually reading, working (the critical complement to all of the fun physical playtime) or spending time with friends and family. You are more likely to find me outdoors doing something (or in the sand doing nothing) than indoors watching TV (although it's fun to deactivate ones brain for a few hours with a good movie or show).
My mini-resume: I began my career in investment banking and then transitioned to private equity, where I have been ever since.
What I'm looking for: My partner, my one and only, my #1, a committed relationship! I've had a great single life and I'm comfortable with being solo, but I know life is infinitely more fun/amazing when one goes all-in with another. I'm at a place in life where I have established myself, know who I am and know who I want to share life with. Until I find my partner, I'm ready to meet new people, enjoy the experience and see what happens!

Meet people from California, United States. I have been doing the best to enjoy what life has to offer. I have a pretty good balance between work and play. I love to travel and take the opportunity whenever it presents itself. My most recent trip was driving the Baja peninsula to Cabo and painting a few murals in some small villages along the way. It was an incredible trip.
I love hitting the beach, fishing, riding my bike; anything to get me outside. I am for the most part a jack of all trades. If it breaks I can fix it. If it needs to be cooked I will cook it. If a drink is needed, i will mix it. I am a good guy to have around.
I love music. Live music is the best. I am down with most types of music but am more at home with Classic rock. Nevertheless you may catch some Control Machete, Rolling Stones, Manu Chao, Chicago, Sergio Mendes, Stan Getz, Led Zeppelin, Dizzy Gillespie, Celso Pina, the list is never ending…

8. I recently gave up red meat and chicken.

Meet a man from California, United States. I am a man who loves life and lives to make everyone smile around me. My friends tell me I have the biggest heart, and all I care about is others happiness. Try to be a modest and humble individual. Don't try to compare my self to anyone, everyone is unique and I think once you get to know me you would understand that. I live life in the moment, and enjoy it to the fullest, I'm hopeful I can find someone genuine and loving who wants to share that with me. A friend and a companion; nothing would make me happier!
Love doing pretty much anything that has to do with the arts, music and food. Love musical theater. I am a foodie at heart and try to go to new restaurants as much as I can. Music is a passion in my life and shapes who I am so I am one to go to a lot of concerts or just site at home and listen to it all night long.
Try to stay as active as I can, whether that means gym, runs/walks/hikes, mud runs, beach volleyball or just some cycling. My friends are active and we all keep each other going. Love them! If you have a group a friends, all the more better because I know how important friends are to me so I would only expect yours to be just as important to you.
I love the beach, I find myself there all the time relaxing, taking in the views and having fun! I can relax at home too. Cooking is becoming a real passion and love learning healthy new techniques and recipes, although watching Chopped as often as I do, I tempted to ask you to bring a basket of food and we'll see what I can whip up!
In the end, I am not looking to serial date. I know what I want and I want to find a woman that knows what she is looking for too. A woman who can share their feelings and is not afraid to be herself. A fun-loving, caring, independent and affectionate woman who loves to be treated as the most important thing in life. A friend first and foremost and hopefully growing into something more as we get to know one another.

Date single man from California, United States. I've been told before that I'm a very honest, independent, confident, classy, stable, funny, articulate, spontaneous, sarcastic, outgoing, personable, sincere, genuine, athletic, loyal, intelligent, romantic, compassionate, generous, sexy and handsome gentlemen. Not in that particular order, but you get the idea. I absolutely love sports and have played professionally for the last 12 years in the National Lacrosse League, and having the opportunity to live and play in many fun cities throughout North America has been exhilarating. I have also been very fortunate to be a proud part of Team USA on three different occasions throughout my career. I grew up on Long Island, NY and traveled often in my profession as you can imagine, and will be relocating to California from Seattle in September of 2012.... I'm thankful and appreciative for my family and friends all over and enjoy spending time with them in New York/Long Island or wherever they are when my busy schedule permits. I also travel to Victoria, BC often to visit my daughter, who is 11 and lives there with her mom who is remarried. We have a great relationship and are great parents to our daughter. My daughter and I have a very unique and special bond to say the least. She is my little princess and we speak very often and video chat frequently as well. I am definitely looking for a lot in a woman and in a relationship. Ultimately she will become my best friend and lover, to share our lives, stories, experiences, fantasies, highs and lows, creating everlasting memories together over the course of time. My goal is to make the woman of my dreams the happiest in the world, and in return I hope she can do the same for me...
My ideal candidate would certainly have the following characteristics and traits to be considered. I thank you for all the emails and winks and hope to find that special woman soon. In no particular order, she would definitely have to include being honest, sexy, intelligent, classy, elegant, romantic, sincere, loyal, athletic, passionate, trustworthy, independent, secure, stable, witty, funny, and sensitive are just some of the things I am looking for in a woman. If you think you have what I'm looking for, I would greatly appreciate an email in your own words expressing your interest.
Thanking you in advance for your time, and good luck in your search...
God Bless,

I love to read and watch Classic movies. Spirituality is very important to me.
I guess I want to meet a gal that I enjoy listening to because I respect who she is as a person. It's hard to find real genuine honest women who are secure in who they are. I truly think friendship is the best way to start. I do have many gal pals and it keeps me accountable.

Meet a man from United States. If you're like me, you're a little skeptical of this online dating thing. But I'm an optimist and feel that any chance is worth taking when the reward is so great. So here I am, ready to marry the first person who emails!! Ha ha, okay, maybe not the first... Truthfully, I'm very particular when it comes to meeting someone special. I'm more of a "friends first" type of guy who believes in chemistry and true friendship in a relationship, letting things blossom and making no compromises when it comes to love.
I'm intelligent, friendly, easy-going, a little silly and always thoughtful. I believe in living a "balanced" life, so I have a wide variety of interests; I love a night on the town, finding the latest hot restaurant, enjoying catch-up time with friends at a lounge. But I also love a quiet night at home, cooking dinner, watching old b & w movies or a dvd 'til midnight. I like going to the gym, but I'd rather be outside playing tennis or golf. Musically, love the 80's (who doesn't), study to classical, and can't get enough kpop in my life.
But enough about me, let's talk about you! You are intelligent, funny, adventurous, positive, and comfortable with who you are. You don't take yourself too seriously; you can be graceful and goofy at the blink of an eye. You have a classic sense of style, but your individuality sets you apart in a crowd. You have your own thoughts and ideas, but still respectful and considerate of others. And my heart will melt if you can make me laugh! Have I just described you? If so, I know we'll make great friends and, with any luck, a great match. I look forward to meeting you...and thanks for reading my profile!

Date single man from United States. so yes am a romantic at heart.i'm not the first to go to the movies with a date,as it'd be a shame to sit there and stare at a screen for a couple of hours when we could be chatting and getting acquaited with each other,i need mental stimulatin-- i crave it !

Meet someone special from United States. I've spent a long time trying to make the wrong thing work the right way. Although I failed, I've learned a great deal about myself and relationships. I guess I'm one step closer to knowing exactly what I want and need. To that end, I'm here to start over. I'm looking for a friend, first and foremost. Someone who gets me on all levels. I can list off a lengthy criteria, but that doesn't really matter because the connection will either be there or it won't, regardless of similar interests. If you're honest, hardworking, kindhearted, and interested in the world around you, then I'd like to meet you. I'm quiet-ish, extremely funny, I love to laugh and I always seek activities and company that promote that. I'm not a judgmental or jealous type, although I'm not a big fan of overly flirty women...unless you're flirting with me, of course! I'm honest, sincere, and loyal. I've never cheated and I don't play mind games (but I do like other games). I enjoy exercising; running, lifting weights, martial arts and cross fit are my weapons of choice with which I hurt myself, lol. I also enjoy learning new things and I'm typically enrolled in a class somewhere. I also like trying new restaurants and foods, as well as watching movies. I'm frugal, but not tight. I understand the value of money. I also understand the value of simply enjoying life. My two children; My 14 year old son and 11 year old daughter spend a majority of their time with me. I love having them around and take them with me everywhere. They are amazing people. I could continue, but then there would be less for you to be curious about.
