Date men and women from California, United States. Lately I've been feeling like I'm in my 20's again with the wisdom of a 56 year old. I was the parent at home with two great children who are now in their 20’s and making their way in life, and now it's my turn! I’m happy to try new things and I really enjoy talking and getting to know new people. I love silliness and believe that shared laughter is a great measure of friendship.
Music has been a strong part of my life both in my work and hobbies. I've had a fulfilling career as a violin maker and restorer, and continue to love the work. I've played music for years and love singing in a chorus that performs folk songs from around the world. I also love to cook and delight when people roll their eyes with pleasure over something yummy.
I want to find someone who likes being outdoors as much as I do, and who in addition to sharing some of my interests also has her own interests and activities that inspire her. I’ve enjoyed some traveling overseas, and I’d love to have a companion to share the thrill of exploring. Mostly, I want to find someone who is comfortable in her own skin, and loves the warmth and kindness of a happy relationship.
Meet people from California, United States. I tend to live a very casual lifestyle. I am a good listener and story teller. I have been blessed with many colorful experiences. The ocean is a big part of my life. I was a commercial fisherman and worked in the surf industry. I still surf when I have time. However, I do own a tuxedo and use it once in a while. I have run a few non-profit foundations working for kids with cancer and establishing educational programs based on heritage. I know I have made a difference in many people's life. I worked at a major hospital in downtown LA for a few years. Now, I travel between California and Hawaii for work. I have an odd job - I work on jellyfish for a biotech project. Latley, I have been taking care of my mom who has had an incredible life. My grandmother, mom and sister have all been strong successful women. So, I don't have any gender based ego issues. My mix of Asian and Irish cultures makes me realize anyone should have the basics - integrity, honesty and fairness in order to get along anywhere. I lived in Asia but have not made it to Ireland, yet. I enjoy a good sense of humor and have no problem laughing at myself. I would prefer to be more meaningful than important.

Meet single man from California, United States. Those who know me well would probably describe me as a happy, outgoing, easy going guy, the type of person who makes friends easily, fun loving and a bit of a gentleman.
I've gained an appreciation for the things in life which matter most and understand that they are usually not things after all. I think that having great friends, companions & memorable experiences are some of the most valuable things in life.
I think that an optimistic positive attitude fosters adaptability - which comes in handy when it rains or the unexpected happens as is often the case when you encounter travel inconvenience: it'll pass...
I enjoy activities such as cycling, hiking, yoga & skiing. I am active with sports clubs participating in these types of activities. Also I love traveling & have been to Provence & Tuscany recently for cycling & tourism.

Date men and women from United States. I'm a pretty straight forward type of Man. I don't play games. I believe in two individuals being honest with one another in order to have a good communicative and respectful relationship. I am seeking a best friend and my soul mate.I love being a comrade to a woman. I take care of myself and seek someone who does the same. I work out about 5 times a week. I believe life should be lived. I enjoy a variety of things in life. I can be in a relaxed mode or busy all day. I am very open-minded; I don't accept anything just because everyone else believes it and I don't close my mind to an idea just because it is strange or unaccepted by the general public. For me, tradition and custom are usually roadblocks to progress and happiness. There is no one on earth more serious about finding love and a successful marriage than I am. I should tell you that I like every different types of music, and that will be one of our great challenges in the future. Not an insurmountable challenge, but one that we will have to work on seriously because music is my greatest joy and passion in life, second only to love itself. My great dream for the future is to find the Woman who will be my best friend, my lover, and my partner in all life's adventures, at the very least.

Sharing similar values is very important, especially honesty and integrity. Having similar interests would be nice also. I would like to meet someone who is not afraid of making a commitment and is honest in communications at all levels. I will not be in a relationship where I am considered an option. And, please understand, while not wanting to be too inflexible, honesty and integrity are non negotiable values with me. If this sounds interesting to you, send me an email.

Meet people from United States. I am a software developer by trade, with a specialization in data warehousing/business intelligence. I was all set to go to Sydney, Australia in 2008 to manage a development team until the economy intervened. I had a nice 2 month trip to Sydney on someone else's dime and even leased an apartment with a respectable view of the Harbour Bridge before that particular dream came crashing down. The view would have been awesome on New Years Eve. Alas… I accepted my former employer's early retirement offer and eventually found my current position as a consultant with a large healthcare firm in Pleasanton. I am working as a business/systems analyst on an enterprise-scaled data warehouse project for this firm. My goal is to transition to full time status with this firm and they are mostly agreeable with that idea.
I have a small townhouse here in Livermore where I have lived since 2003. I moved to the Tri-Valley area from the South Bay in 1996, and I have lived in the Bay Area since 1960. I was born in Southern California and so I am a California native son.
I don't really expect my ideal partner to share all of my interests, but a few would be cool. Personal fitness-wise, I run and I am a road bicyclist. I am an amateur photographer, and I have had some of my photos published in specialty magazines. Motorsports is a bit of a specialty, but I also enjoy taking my camera along on hikes. I am a bytehead by nature, so you can assume technology is a hobby as well as my job. I am a car enthusiast and I participate in autocross events held by the regional marque club each month. I enjoy good movies, museums and galleries, concerts (jazz and classical, mostly, but I am flexible if the music is good), dining out, cooking, and just generally exploring.
I have never been married. Life just hasn't worked out that way for me, at least not so far. Nor do I do have any children.
I was brought up to be a gentleman so please humor me and let me open doors for you, walk on the traffic side of the sidewalk and such. I love giving flowers but I promise not to overwhelm you and turn your home into a greenhouse.
Faith is not a quality I possess, but my moral framework was shaped by regular attendance at church when I was a child. I subscribe to a lot of what I leaned there, but I am not dogmatic about it.
So who am I attracted to? My best friend, of course. Life is a lot more fun when it is shared with someone special. I am looking for a friend first, and if what we share grows into something more, then that would be perfect. Cute and stylish would be good. A nice sense of humor but with a serious side too. Someone who is affectionate and likes to hold hands and steal an occasional kiss in public. Someone who is bright and articulate, but with the potential to get a little goofy now and then. I would prefer to date someone who lives relatively close by so that it's easy for us to spend time with each other.
Date someone special from United States. I am a man of dignity and compassion, sincere and caring, supportive, loving and gives a shoulder to lean on no matter the storm, don't pretend and dislike liars and cheats and believe in treating people same way I will want them to treat me and she should be loving, understanding and stay with me in heart not withstanding any storm
Meet a man from United States. I often think how awesome it would be if I could simply twinkle my nose (you remember Bewitched?) and find the woman of my dreams standing next to me holding hands. That special someone who loves to have fun and enjoys doing all the great and cool things life has to offer; who is smart in life; who is driven to be successful however defined; who loves the endorphin rush not only for the rush of nurturing her physical side but also, and equally as important, as an expression of mutual interests and desires. She knows that balance in life is all-important in maintaining one's sanity and she values taking time out to chill. She is balanced in the sense that she will enjoy connecting with my two daughters who are the true loves of my life and who have grown into the two most incredibly wise and beautiful young adults on the planet (not biased huh?!!?) and who truly keep things real and are a blast to be around. She knows how to be spontaneous and loves to sometimes just goof off. She is stimulating in conversation and thought and we feed off of each other's mental prowess to keep each other intellectually challenged, charged, and interested. We are young at heart and we know it is so important to keep Mr. and Ms. Time at bay and doing what we can to keep mentally and physically fit.....this is just part of our coding. We believe in, and respect, the need for each of us to have separate interests and allowing each other time to pursue those interests but always having in our hearts the security of knowing that we are together.....really really together and always looking forward to reconnecting again and always.The keys to a loving and forever-lasting relationship are communication, compromise and understanding. Did I mention communication? As well, the sharing of common interests, particularly the love of outdoors and being active both mentally and physically. I am a huge believer in two-way communication that wraps its arms around active listening and allows each other to be heard and reaches out for understanding. That's not to say we will always agree with each other (how boring is that!??!); rather that we hear and listen to each other, that we totally, totally, totally respect each other and each other's points of view, and that we are committed to at least understanding each other's points of view. If we have that between us, plus of course that thing called chemistry, it just has to be all good.
Date a soulmate from United States. I'm a classic romantic and know how to treat a woman right. I’m living proof that chivalry isn’t dead just yet. I’m also a very honest and straightforward guy. I’m always going to be myself, so what you see is what you get. (I happen to think you’ll be getting a good thing, but that’s what this is all about, right?)
I’m an energetic guy, but have a pretty mellow and laid back personality. I keep a positive attitude and am quite happy with my drama-free life. The only thing that’s missing is a great woman to share it with. There are plenty more adventures to be had. The question is which one should we go on first?
