Date men and women from United States / California / Anaheim Hills, 47 year old

Date single man from California, United States. Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I am from the midwest via the east coast, am amicably divorced, and the father of two beautiful girls. They are the loves of and the balance in my life, keep me grounded and constantly provide a reality check.
I am active and stay fit. I also enjoy business in that it supplements my need to create and compete, but I don't confuse working to live with living to work and would love nothing more than enjoying what life has to offer with that special someone including but not limited to the simple things like a date night by the fireplace with wine, dinner and music, vacations and weekend getaways, movies, shows, etc.. I personally really enjoy the Improv, a day at the races in Del Mar and creatively keeping "it" exciting. Did I mention massages?
While I am a pretty good multi tasker I have no desire to multi date. I understand that the multi-dating gene is not limited to my gender and have to say if that is your "thing", I wish you the absolute best, but we would not be a match. We are all in roughly the same age group and have grown up in Southern California. That just means that many of us have had similar experiences, met similar people, etc. so it really is hard to differentiate on this site.
I am not looking for the mother of my children. My daughters have a great mom.
With all of that said, I'll say it. I want "IT". I am not sure we all do, but at this stage of my life I am ready to be all in. Romance, passion, chemistry, real kissing, friendship, honesty, commitment, great monogomous sex ( Yeah, I said it - Can't believe I did, but doesn't everybody think it!). If these are traits that don't appeal to you or are not consistent with your "big picture", count me out. I'm just sayin'.
I have been fortunate in this life in many ways. I count my blessings and appreciate the great family and true friends that I have, and the experiences I have had. While far from perfect, I have always tried to live by the "Golden Rule" (i.e. do unto others...).
One last thing. If you want something more than a friendship and you like to be touched reassuredly when it's least expected, snuck up behind and kissed on the neck on occassion, have your knee grabbed underneath the table at a restaurant reassuring you of an unspoken commitment, or get that occasional eye contact that tells you without words that "I understand" and that I've got your back, drop me a note. I might be your guy.
By the way, I hate match and I hate talking about myself :).
Good luck with with your search.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I'm a romantic. Far from hopeless, though. I love to touch, feel and explore. I love holding your hand, cuddling w/you by an outdoor fire on a cool evening, walking along the beach w/you when all of a sudden I stop . . . look into your eyes, gently take your face in my soft hands and kiss you slowly, yet passionately as the waves crash and people stare in envy. Ahhh . . ..
I have an interactive mind and enjoy great conversation. Odds are you won't find me reading the WSJ or Newsweek, but don’t assume I know nothing about business or politics. Talk radio, ESPN SportsCenter and PTI – love �em. My style -- casual -- prefer jeans and a cute shirt with a splash of color, but give me an additional 5 minutes and I can rock a great dress just as easily.
You will be financially stable, unpretentious, honest and easy-going. Through my smile, you will be able to easily identify the genuineness of my character. You will appreciate my romantic side, my compassion and devotion to that which is important to me. I have been blessed with a quick wit and can be considered somewhat sarcastic and, at times, honest to a fault. You will love that I can hold up my end of a conversation and banter with the best even if it's not with you. You will find humor in the littlest things and recognize the value of laughter in the craziness of our day-to-day life.
I will bring out the best in you. I'll be a source of strength for you through both the good times and the bad. Your face will light up when you think about me or talk about me to other people. I'll be the first person you want to talk to in the morning and the last one at night. I'll be the one who brings you chicken soup when you're sick with the flu and you'll be the one who's there to give me a hug when I need reassurance or comforting. I may not like to watch and do all that you do, but I'll respect and support your desired pastimes and I'll have my own set of interests that I do without you that you're supportive of. Most importantly, you will accept my kids, as I will yours, if you have any.
I'm no trophy wife, drama queen or plastic Barbie. I am as God intended for me to be -- au natural. Although, I'm not at that stage in life where I can get up and go on a whim, I love planned trips and weekend getaways with you where we can stay up all night, sleep in all day and never have to leave the room if we don't want to.
I've got good, solid friendships, two great kids (16 and 12) that don't yet see spending time with "Mom" as uncool. Although, my real job provides me with a paycheck and some great perks, my most rewarding job is being a good mom to my boys.
I like being active -- hiking, biking, people-watching, attending sporting events, watching current flicks and musicals /stage shows / concerts at the various performing arts centers. I welcome exposure to new activities and experiences. So bring it on. I enjoy home-cooked meals, the beach and mountains, hanging out with my kids, as well as cheering them on in their extra-curricular activities. Haven't traveled abroad, but I have passport just in case...

Date men and women from California, United States. I used to be in Sales but changed my career ('cause sales included travelling) in order to raise my son on my own, after the divorce. I like me and who I've become, especially being a mom!. I'm silly and I laugh a lot; compassionate but "ballsy"; sweet but am not afraid to be a "big momma bear" (what did you expect--I've been raising my son on my own for 13 years, and am his mom and protecting him like a "dad"). I'm the one who introduces herself and likes to get to know people. I'm mostly a realist, with a good dose of optimism and a tinge of a dreamer. I'm very affectionate but believe in being appropriate. I thrive on discovering new things (places to eat, things to do, places to go, etc.); am spontaneous, but am also detail oriented when it comes to planning things. I care deeply for people and value relationships. I'd like to fall in love, get to know that person, have fun, and be with that someone for the rest of my life. Please don't expect me to give you something which you can't give back to me--like love, respect, loyalty, etc. Please carry a conversation with me-- I don't like having a relationship with a "rock". Know that I love my son dearly and that he will always be a part of my life, even though his is off to college this Fall. Do you think you can open up your heart all the way, discover the awesomeness of the another person, and show the other person how much you love them, while laughing and having fun? Then we should probably meet (if your answer is "yes"!)
