Date men and women from United States / California / Aliso Viejo, 50 year old

Date men and women from California, United States. I am Australian who has lived in the US for the last 22 years. My family, former inlaws, and friends would say I am a genuinely nice bloke. I consider myself fairly decent looking for a fella of advanced years. I have a full head of dark hair with minimal grey (2012 update-more coming through). However, I do not expect this will improve (it sure as hell isn't). I have a pretty good physique and keep trying to improve things, by walking, running, surfing, kyacking and cycling. I am pretty confident no one will be kicking sand in my face for the forseeable future.
I have a very good sense of humour and am pretty good at livening up the odd party. I am looking for a lady with common interests. Would prefer that you are single, widowed, or divorced. The perfect woman for me would be someone who enjoys getting out; be it camping, hiking, boating, water sports, bit of travelling, catching a movie, or trying out different restaurants. A Rugby and Cricket fan would be nice but I won't be holding my breath for that person here:-). I do love your footy and baseball as well.
Have been single now for about six years. I have four kids (one heading out of state to college) and I understand that can be daunting for any potential companion but they are all good kids, getting older, and are pretty easy. However, I like to get that info out there and not waste your time if that sounds scary. I am sure my rapier like wit and killer accent is worth at least two kids :-). Their Mum and I share responsibility and have a very good relationship with no dramas. I very much hope I can find someone on this site with whom I can spend the rest of my life. I look forward to the moment that I have that special someone and can permanently cancel my Match subscription and bail on this bachelor life.

Meet people from California, United States. After 17 years of marriage and a couple of years spending time with my boys and getting used to being on my own, I find myself on Match. I was happy and content revolving my life around my work and my sons’ activities, busy but content. But now it’s time to DATE!
I am a single dad with two boys and a busy job. My children live with me, but their mother is now more involved. An added activity that I have is coaching my younger son’s soccer team. It is a blessing to be able to spend this time with my son and the other boys. I hope that I’m teaching them more than just the sport.
I have an adventurous take on life and am a generally optimistic person. I have dealt with plenty of adversity but can only imagine living life looking forward. One thing I know I want and still believe in is having someone to share and experience all that life has to offer.
I love to travel. I have been extremely fortunate to see most of this great country. I have also traveled to many places in the world. Some of the best trips I have had have been either combining site seeing via exercise (running/biking) or sailing the west coast of Turkey and the British Virgin Islands. So many things to do and places to go :-)
I love having an active lifestyle. I enjoy being out on my mountain bike, kayaking in the ocean, surfing, playing soccer, taking hikes or walks on the beach. I love trying new active things whenever I get a chance. Doesn’t that sound like fun? It’s all better with a great partner. Now for just laying around the house, here again it’s just not any fun for me unless I have someone to hang with ;) .
I’m looking for an independent woman. She is happy with her place in life. She loves kids and dogs. Humor is a big part of my life … so a sense of humor is a big plus. She can laugh with me and AT me. She makes the best of any situation.
I may sound busy, but I am committed to this process. My children are extremely important to me but I read a book once that had a passage that stuck with me. Your children are really only on loan to you. Your job as a parent is to teach them all they need to know to leave you behind, and live a full life on their own. I take that to heart. The time I spend with them I will cherish all my life but I am preparing them, along with myself, for them to become their own men.

Date someone special from California, United States. Wanted: Long-term relationship where joy, desire, security, passion and companionship are felt like a warm lingering hug even when we are apart.
I am a person who loves life and appreciates it everyday. I am affectionate, love to plan elaborate surprises, cook, spoil my partner with attention. I am serious, analytic and thoughtful at the right times. I have a very wide area of interests and enjoy humor in irony and acts of silliness. My friends sometimes call me MacGyver for my ability to fix and make things.
I believe in communication at an intimate level, committing your soul to the relationship with honesty and trust. To feel safe to share your vulnerabilities, hopes, fears and desires with a person that will not judge you.
I have 2 great boys, ages 18 and 19 who are very important to me. They are fun as they drive some of the activities that I do. At this age they are like “dust devils” appearing out of nowhere, causing me to drop everything to help and observe them, then, instantly disappearing again :) If you have children that would not scare me off!
I am completing divorce mediation and list myself as “separated” because I am not “officially” divorced. We have lived apart for over 3 years and although we are parents, this is not a relationship I would return to because, there has been no intimacy in communication or passion between us for a long time, just friends trying to do the best for our kids. You would not be a rebound as I have had time to heal and search my soul.
For friends, I seek to meet people with a positive outlook on life, kindness, confidence, integrity, honesty, family, humor, and are active.
Your independence and goals are important to me. I value your intelligence, opinion, strength and wit for discussion and playful sparring. It is important for us to laugh, share, tell stories, and create new memories. I want my leisure time to have plenty of "together time" with you. Sharing experiences, meeting with friends, doing something new, doing nothing and balancing it with independent personal pursuit are ways that I would like to take the time getting to know you.
I find romance in snuggling near a fire, playing footsie under the table, sharing a steamy shower, spontaneous rendezvouses, delivering flowers for no reason other than to say "I am thinking of you". You will know that you are the center of my universe.. There are so many more things on this list I would like to share.
I am silly/playful at times, squeeze my butt while I am cooking and be ready to run through the house in playful pursuit.
I would rather play sports or be outside rather than watching them on TV. If you have a team to root for let’s do it!, I could use a reason to have a party with friends, or throw myself on the couch,(you won't find me there very often, unless it is there with you).
A friend once asked me "What does a great relationship look like to you"? This is a complex question and I have answered it with broad strokes.. a portion of it is below.
Communication:
Verbal - being able to express your needs, desires, dislikes, concerns in a manner that a man’s brain could understand (direct, factual, logical and without needing interpretation or reading between the lines) I will listen and make every attempt to determine the meaning. I am making light of this, although, I think that this is very important requirement for a solid relationship to have intimacy and trust in communication.
Non-Verbal – I believe that expressing ones love through affectionate touch is as important as love itself. Holding hands, long passionate kisses, brushing or running finger nails through hair, foot rubs, soft caressing touches all over, acting like we are the only 2 people on earth..to be cont...

Date someone special from United States. I'm a 50 year old looking for my future best friend, partner, lover, and soulmate. I am lookng for someone who is serious about a relationship and not into playing games or just interested in someone that will take care of her. I am for real.

Meet single man from United States. I consider myself to be a gentle, caring man, with a good sense of humor. I am looking for someone who wants companionship and to establish a friendship first, but is more importantly interested in establishing a relationship potentially leading towards marriage. Character and honesty in a relationship are extremely important to me and are threshold characteristics I look for. I have dated interracially and am open to an interracial marriage if it were to go there. I am very active and high energy in all that I do and I love just about any sport that I can participate in. I really don't have any vices....well, okay....I am addicted to Coke.....Diet Coke. I drink way too much Diet Coke. :( I also have a bit of a sweet tooth and love Macadamia Nut Cheesecake, although I rarely eat it. Am I the only parent that thinks its okay to base what you order for your meal on what you are going to have for desert? Unfortunately, most times I am full by then and don't order it. I am originally from Michigan and have lived in CA for about nine years. I love Univ. of Mich football! Go Blue!! I also love Red Wings hockey. I have two children (a girl, 19 and a boy, 16) that keep me young. They are great kids. I love them both very much. Being a good father to them is one of the greatest joys in my life. However, I am not looking for a mother, they have one. I am looking for a companion and a partner to plan weekends with together, to be spontaneous with like just picking up and driving down the coast and poking around in just about every funky little shop we come upon, to enjoy quiet times at home with and someone who likes to "stretch" their boundaries every now and then to keep life fresh. Honestly, I just want someone who will tell me that my saggy butt still looks good in a tight pair of jeans when I'm eighty.....of course, I may need help getting into those jeans.... and thats where you come in.... ;) .....but a little more about her....My ideal match would be an attractive woman with a great personality, be smart, witty, have a wonderful sense of humor, love to laugh and smile....be comfortable with who they are and what they want out of life, someone who I can initially be physically attracted to but more importantly, be emotionally attracted to. As Dr. Ruth says, You only see someone naked for the first time once! .......and I can't believe that I just quoted Dr. Ruth! ....anyways, I am looking for someone who is genuine and who may potentially be interested in a lasting relationship.

Date a soulmate from Aliso Viejo, United States. I'm a born and bred Southern California woman who is looking to meet that one special person to travel the world with, experience everything that is worth experiencing, and who will make me laugh like crazy.
I value a sense of humor, strength and integrity. You need not take yourself too seriously when you are with me, but at the same time, respect for yourself is a must.
Some may think that I'm complicated, but I actually have very simple needs. I would love to have a partner that can't wait to hear my voice or hold me at the end of a really crappy day....I'm basically a wonderful nurturer and feel like everyone needs a good hug. And, if you ask my daughters, I also tend to be a goofball and would love to have someone who values the silliness of life sometimes. Sometimes, you just gotta laugh.....But, I gotta tell you, there's nothing better than looking across the room at your guy, and having your breath being taken away. I'm a firm believer in intense chemistry and pay close attention to it. I think everyone should listen to their instincts and first impressions hold a lot of value with me. I would like to be treated as well as I treat others, and I do treat others well.... very well. I have 2 daughters for whom I feel I need to set good examples, so I really need a man who respects that. Playing games is not in my repertoire. I admire and deeply desire a gentleman and one that says what he means and means what he says. That is of the utmost importance to me.
That being said, I LOVE to laugh, share quality time together...even the most mundane activities can be made fun... and am always willing to try new activities...what else is life for?
I would appreciate the fact that you are attractive, active, fit, energetic, and happy with where you are in life right now. I am very secure with what I have to offer to a healthy relationship and would love to have that special someone to share that with. Let's face it, the reason we're all doing this is that it's hard to meet quality people nowadays.....my days of bar-hopping are long over (not that that was where you met quality people anyway, but.....still, my daughters would kill me if they ever saw me in a club that they frequented....they'd die of embarrassment and never forgive me. It'd get ugly.)
So, surprise me with what you have to offer and let's see what happens.

Meet men and women from Aliso Viejo, United States. I am fun, outgoing, drama free, passionate, love to laugh and be around people. I am a very social person and enjoy entertaining. Originally I'm from New York, but have been here long enough to be a California girl. I like to experiment with new recipes in the kitchen, play in the garden and stay active. I keep in shape with walking, the gym, and just recently started taking ballroom dancing lessons which I love! I try to live every day to its fullest with a positive attitude. I have been blessed with a wonderful family and a great group of friends. I love travelling to new places and because of my Italian heritage hope to travel to Italy someday. I am very proud of my son who is graduating from UCLA this summer, and I am currently going to college myself. I am very happy with my life, but I'd like to find the right person to share it with who I can practice my dancing moves on, haha.
I'm looking for someone who is affectionate, intelligent, a non-smoker, a good communicator, has good values and a positive attitude, takes good care of himself, has his priorities straight, and knows how to treat a woman like a lady. Honesty and integrity are a must. If you enjoy dancing, that is a big plus. Most of all, I want to find that special someone with the right chemistry who clicks with me and feels the same connection.
