Meet a soulmate from California, United States. MY TOP 5 DO’S AND DON’T’S LIST
(Applies to Guys and Girls as well!)
5. If your profile picture is older than 20 years ago maybe you should update it. This actually happened to me. Her photo was over 20 years old! I didn’t know whether to get her a walker or a wheelchair. Hey I am no Spring Chicken but at least I am honest about it…I know some people stretch it and that is fine…but seriously…20 years! Online dating is hard enough when you know what you’re getting.
4. If you carry around enough emotional baggage that you feel you need to wear a Bell Hop’s uniform maybe you want to check that luggage at the login screen. We are all trying to start fresh and if you haven’t had your heart broken then you haven’t lived. If you have been screwed over multiple times then you are "really living" and are at least in the game and should pat yourself on the back for getting back up off the ground and dusting yourself off and going to bat again…
3. If you are an emotional “cold fish” from being hurt before maybe you want to thaw out first then look for someone new. These sites are full of lonely hearts, broken hearts, broken pieces, and damaged goods. How about we start fresh and look forward to the future. There are good people out there, and the person you are talking to wasn’t the one that hurt you. Give them the benefit of the doubt before assuming everyone was like that last jerk or jerkette...
2. If someone says hello to you and asks if you would like to chat or perhaps check out their profile to see if you have any interest… but you are not interested how about a “No Thanks” or a “I don’t think we are a good match”…instead of “You just activated my gag reflex and now I have to log off to vomit”… How about a little kindness and humanity? We are all in the same boat…looking for a better life, and that one special person that can change everything. Give each other a break and at least be cool about it and don't hurt people's feelings just because you are bitter or burned out...
1. There are good people out there. I know this. We can all find the love we are looking for and I know most of us want that. Nothing would be better than for all of us to be able to delete our stupid online profiles forever because we already found that perfect fit and the Safari is over.

I am a stable, mature, down to earth guy. I consider myself normal which these days seems to be a “BIG PLUS”. I am old school and I still open car doors and pull out the chair and slide in the woman I am with. I am respectful, honest and caring. I am an affectionate and romantic kind of person (Must be the Italian side of me) and honestly that is really important to me. If that’s just not you I totally understand but that is a main ingredient to the relationship I am looking for. I have an artist’s heart and soul and a business mind so I am a hybrid combo that way. I was in the music biz for 25 Years, I toured as a drummer for many years and then went into Studio work and management....Retired from it since 2002.
I love going to concerts, movies, museums, comedy clubs and funky out of the way places, anything artsy and fun is a good day. I love the ocean, sailing, walking on the beach. I enjoy traveling and eating out at nice restaurants or hole in the walls. Dancing is a blast and I love music of all types from Rock, R&B, Jazz and Country! Let's just go have fun ...I work in Glendale!
--------------------
The first date would be to Paris holding hands and walking in the moonlight or perhaps the Bahamas walking along the beach listening to Island Music in the background with a nice campfire on the beach watching the moon twinkle off the ocean with a warm breeze blowing in our hair while we are staring into each other's eyes thinking wow... this is our first date "what the heck are we doing here...are we crazy?" :)

Date men and women from California, United States. Hello Ladies, (New Pics are Coming)
I'm a guy that loves to play outdoors. And chill'n indoors is not out of the question. I love to find little hole in the wall restaraunts. Sometimes those are the best. I do my research and try to find the healthy ones. It's been a while, so it's time to get back in the saddle again. I do like eating healthy. But I don't like tree bark. I'm not a health freak by any means. I do love my German Chocolate Cake and Apple pie for sure. And I have to force myself to stay away from the Cheesecake Factory!!
You will find me in the gym 2-3 days a week. And I MTB(Mouuntain Bike) or road ride at least once a week. I'm in a meetup bowling group and do love to roll the rock for sure.
Communicate, Communicate, Communicate...nothing will screw up a realationship more than not communicating!! I know that and communication is my middle name:o)
I think women that work out, and who care about their bodies are sexy. I'm not looking for a fitness model. I'm looking for a woman that works out and who enjoys doing it. I appreciate the effort!!
I'm really a romantic guy! Corona Del Mar and the local beaches can be very nice in the evening with that special one. But you can make any place romantic.
My perfect match will be a woman that is down to earth, a friend, a confidant, someone that I feel connected with, I mean, soul to soul! I want to learn about my partner. What excites her and what doesn't! There is something about the way that special person can touch and hold you that lets you know you have connected on very deep level. I will let that special woman know, that she will never feel empty with me at her side. And that she is much appreciated. I will continue to look until I find her! I know she is out there. I'm a confident guy. So, a woman that is taller than me isn't a problem. I've dated women as tall as 6'0". Race is not important!!
******IF YOU INITIATE CONTACT WITH ME, BE AVAILABLE, UNDERSTAND YOUR SITUATION******
As far as music goes, I'm a, Old School, House, up tempo, shake your booty, get down get funky, Parliment, Earth Wind and Fire, Old School Rap, type of guy:o) New pictures are coming. I'm normally the one behind the camera!!

Meet someone special from California, United States. Pics with no beard are most recent.
Live and let live.
My match would want me along for the ride and be happy to join me on mine.
Be parallel lines, complements of each other.
I am affectionate, open minded, spiritual, and very communicative.
I have a quick wit and find the funny side of every situation.
I am trustworthy, once more; I am...trustworthy.
I do not take someone else's faith in me for granted,
and I cherish that gift
I am loyal.
I do what I say I am going to do,
and I am what I say I am.
I work hard, but know when to stop.
busy - but not too, relaxed - not boring,
confident - not arrogant.
I love the outdoors,
the beach and the mountains, and
love being near the water.

Date a man from United States. I connect with- emotionally, intellectually, and physically. If you are ready to meet that good guy.. I will be eager to want to explore the world with you. (FUN!). Most of all.... a good man with a big Heart with integrity, depth of character, intelligent, and a sense of adventure. I am truly a genuine person. What you see is who I am
Communication is as important to you as it is to me; I believe everything can be discussed and worked out if both parties are flexible and use good reasoning. My ideal match is that you are naturally affectionate ,romantic, and spontaneous. You love animals, the outdoors, the ocean, sports and exploring.
As far as I’m concerned there’s nothing wrong with quiet times and slow lazy days. Sharing experiences, large or small, is as good as it gets for me. I also enjoy to cook- so maybe some time in the kitchen together.
I’m a big believer in giving lots of whatever it is I receive: respect, appreciation, a willing ear. I’m a great listener (and I appreciate that quality in others).
Let's enjoy new adventure together and fun conversation – it could be tons of fun.

Meet single man from United States. I asked what your motto is so here is mine, courtesy of Langston Hughes' poem "Motto":
I play it cool and dig all jive.
That's the reason I stay alive.
My motto as I live and learn
Is dig, and be dug in return.
Hughes also had some great "Advice":
Folks, I tell ya'
Birthin' is hard and dying is mean
So get a little lovin' in between.
I love how that man could distill!
Regarding his "Advice", though, I am hopeful to share "lots of lovin'" with one person. Of course, we would share struggles as well, but we would strive for more than our fair share of love, fun, wonderment and all of the better things that make the struggles worthwhile. So . . .
Are you laid back, but not lazy and uncaring? Great
Are you driven by certain things (work and / or causes and / or etc.), but know how to dial it back for a balanced life? Excellent
Do you respect others regardless of station, but know how to deal with people who don't? Fantastic
Are you artistic, but can appreciate the logic and patterns in life or conversely are you logical, but can appreciate the artistry all around us? Outstanding
Are you imperfect (like me), but always try to be a better you? "Perfect"
Can you discuss serious matters, but laughter is an integral part of your being? Unbelievable
If you are all (or most) of the above, then, like me, you are also probably fun to be with, romantic, thoughtful, intelligent (however measured), dependable, loyal, and genuine.
You are probably also independent, but know the value of having a shoulder that you can lean on when need be. You enjoy being together and talking (about anything from world events to the niggly little absurdities of life), traveling, or just sitting in silence together, but you also enjoy some space and time to be alone (or with your friends).
Also like me you may be a little shy at first, but really open up to those you get to know. On the other hand, you may be entirely outgoing, but not in an obnoxious way that makes people around you wondering where the heck the "off switch" is located or suddenly "remembering" they have another engagement they have to get to.
You are probably also close to your family however large or small it may be or at least know and appreciate the value of family. You also value your health and take care of yourself through good eating and exercise habits which means we could workout together to build up an appetite and then cook something healthy together. Or, you could put your feet up and cool down while I do the cooking.
You also know the value of splurging on "Death by Chocolate" or whatever other decadence you occasionally crave. (Mine is actually Boston Cream Pie!)
If this (or most of this) is you, let's start "digging" each other and see if it leads to something transcendent and most importantly, lasting.
(Oh, by the way regarding drinking, the next closest choice to "Never" is "Social drinker". I probably only have a couple of drinks a year. Not because I am against drinking (although I am opposed to excessive drinking) - it's just that a tiny bit of alcohol affects me too much. It does not bother me if my partner drinks while I have something non-alcoholic.)

Meet someone special from United States. Hello, I've been waiting for you.
I am a happy person. I especially like making those around me happy. When my daughter giggles at something silly I've said or done it makes my day. Sometimes we laugh so hard we can't speak. That's the best.
My life code includes doing at least one good deed a day. I try to do this as early as possible in the day because I've found it difficult to find that proverbial little old lady to help across the street at 10 at night.
I love animals. I carry dog treats in my pocket. Sometimes they go through the washer. And the dryer. The dogs don't know this.
I find the world exhilarating, especially nature. Often I walk to the beach at lunch and I am always amazed at all that water. Any issues I thought I had pale in comparison. I like to watch the surfers. I think of them as wave ninjas as they slice through the water.
I try to live a balanced life. But I tend to be consistently inconsistent. I live by principles. I don't like it when I have to do something I don't want to do. But I do it anyway. And I smile.
I can cook. I make a killer chicken nugget parmesan. Just ask my daughter. Dishes, I'm not so good at. But I do them. And I smile.
I love sunsets. They are the crack between the worlds. I dream of riding in a plane at just the right speed to be in a sunset forever....or until the plane runs out of fuel. Whichever comes first. I know that mileage may vary.
I would like to meet someone and share our wonderful lives. To see what blends. What stays distinct. Like salt and pepper. We both add to the mix but remain ourselves.
If I interest you please send me a message and let's start our summer romance and find out where it may lead...
