Date men and women from California, United States. Hello, thanks for taking a look at my profile.
Basically, I am very thoughtful, caring, athletic and intellectual.. I enjoy an active life, wether it be exercise or travel or more likely both. I like to have fun, and do a lot socially - meeting friends or having them over for dinner, and traveling together. Once I have had some exercise, I enjoy chilling with a book, glass of wine, or person I care about for conversation.
I have lived in London, Hong Kong and briefly Spain, and travel consistently to places like. London, Italy, Spain, Swiss Alps, Carribean, Mediterranean... you name it and I will enjoy going there!
I am interested in people that are accomplished and independant. I am tactile and romantic, and a friendship that builds into a romance would be intimate continuously. An ideal match will be based upon communication and acceptance, combined with an active lifestyle that includes exercise, experiencing new and interesting things, travel, literature and the arts, and intense romantic moments.
I am taking a bit more private angle on this Match.com, for two reasons:
I would prefer to keep my private life private (versus having business associates look me up on Match, and I have a couple of children who are internet savvy to say the least :)
So, if you are interested, please send me a note and I will send photos :)
Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I'm looking for a cool girl with whom to share some new adventures; someone to laugh with, to try out new restaurants with and that special girl that I can make laugh with my silly jokes. I'd like to find a partner in fun, to go wakeboarding/snowboarding/dirtbiking/surfing, to surprise with flowers on random occasions and someone to share a long term relationship.
How about a summer weekend wakeboarding? Fresh pow in Tahoe? - Let's hit it! I'm up for a day trip or a week. Vacation? Let's find a cool place in the tropics; I'll dive for our lobster dinner. France, Italy? I'm there - je m'appelle Ric!
About me: I'm adventurous, funny, intelligent, spontaneous, a bit sarcastic and have a generous nature. Awareness of the world/people around you and a desire to make the world just a TINY bit better each day are qualities which I admire. I've traveled quite a bit and lived in a great many places, which has given me an appreciation of foreign culture/food as well as helped to cultivate my generous nature. Although I haven't traveled as much in the last few years, I still believe "There's a whole world out there!" and I'd like to see it. I like to dream big; it might take a while but I'll get there. I figure if you've accomplished all your goals, you didn't set enough. Once I try something I like, I try to be the best I can at it. I'm pretty laid back; I wear shorts and sandals most of the time and hoodies in the winter. However, I can dress up too for the right occasion. I love the ocean (grabbin' abalone, lobster, fish) or surfing/kiteboardin'. Finding new restaurants is always fun; I always like to try new dishes rather than get the same thing every time. Thai, Mexican & all seafood are my favorites. I love telling stories; I've got a ton but I end up telling my favorites over & over (but I'm always trying to make new ones). I like to find the humor in a situation & I can laugh at myself too. I've got a photographic memory for movies - don't ask me why, they just stick in my head! I like to be different & push myself to be the best. I pay attention to the news, I vote & I'm financially responsible. Oh, and last but CERTAINLY not least, I love my Mom; she gave me so much.
(yeah I know, I could use some diversity in my pics - but there only seems to be a camera around when I'm on the boat!)
Date single man from Capitola, United States. I am a 6'2" 230 lb blue eyed man, looking for a cultured, attractive woman who can make my life even more interesting. I believe in honesty, fair play and work very hard at my various businesses and have been very fortunate to have enjoyed success in my ventures. I value courteous manners, generosity and a kind spirit. I'm looking for an attractive lady who is sweet, fun and ready to pack the bags for the spontaneous trip, wether it be to the City for dinner or for longer trips abroad.

I'm looking for someone who can compliment myself, while I do my best to compliment her in her own life. I'm a big fan of passion and interested in a solid romantic relationship.

Date men and women from Capitola, United States. Brand new to this online dating stuff so bare with me with the whole winking stuff still trying to figure it out. Hard working single dad. I love my free time, surfing with friends, time with my daughter, and enjoying the beach life. BBQ's with friends and family. While i don't smoke I can be coaxed into an occasional cigar. I love my job but it does not define me and try not to take life too seriously.. Im really looking for somebody to have fun with. Im not going to jump into a relationship after one or two dates, but I am also not going to rule out the possibility of something more. I would love to find someone who likes the beach and ocean and doesn't take themselves too seriously. Be confident but check your ego at the door. I like cooking and wine tasting. good movies. I like to travel when I can, usually someplace tropical with warm water. Im hoping to find somebody who likes to go out, but is not afraid to get a little sandy.
Im sure this profile is a work in progress. so come and play in Santa cruz
Meet men and women from United States. I always feel good if I have done something outdoors, be it physical, walking along the beach, or a slow bike ride. I also like to be at home cooking a great meal and watching a movie. Alway like trying new places to eat. I would be found more at home than out. I have a fair amount of vacation time at work, so travel is always on my mind. As much as I appreciate a passionate filled relationship and adventures around every corner I know that life can be filled with the mundane "9 to 5 stuff" reality. I do know that chemistry is a big part to this. Lets find out.
Date single man from California, United States. i like being outdoors and active. i spend most of my free time riding my bikes (road, mountain, touring or cruiser...i know, i know...i have a lot of bikes). i bought a new camper this year and take it to the mountains as much as possible in summer and to the beach often in winter (even though i live 6 blocks from the beach; i can't help it...i love the beach!). i travel quite a bit: i like going somewhere warm at least once per winter (baja, hawaii, australia). i have family in the boston area, so i'm there at least once or twice a year too. i've been all over the usa, to europe a half dozen times and to a bunch of other random places. i'm not much for sightseeing; i just love walking around strange cities and country sides; getting lost and see where i end up. i don't go out a whole lot at night; and when i do it's usually just walking down to capitola village for dinner and a cocktail with friends.
i'm recently out of a long term relationship, so i'm not sure if i'm ready to date yet. but i thought i'd join here and start seeing what's out there. i'm a firm believer that life is beautiful, fun and way too short. i always tell people: "if i fell over dead right now, there would be a smile on my face from all the wonderful living i've done".
send me a note if you think we may get along. if not, thanks for reading and best of luck. there's someone out there for everyone. i'm happy to see so many people here actively looking...

Meet people from California, United States. .
Life just has more meaning when you share it with that special person. I consider myself caring, honest, a giver, independent, smart, sometimes witty, financially secure, - just your basic guy. I’m surrounded by family and good friends (many I’ve known since grade school). Lovely daughter is grown and on her own. I have a home in Capitola and work for myself which allows me to make my own time. I love the outdoors, both summer and winter, playing golf, riding bikes, skiing, camping (have a trailer), snowmobiling (I own 2), working on my Camaro, house boating, scuba diving in the tropics, afternoon walks beachside or evening conversations by the fire with a glass of wine, watching movies on a rainy day, trips to the city (SF) to listen to Blues, Jazz, going to North Beach for great Italian Food, the wine country and coastal drives, going to a motor race event. I’ve even went to driving school at Laguna Seca in Monterey. Now that was Fun. At home I love to cook but not always successful. Working around the house, (your basic do-it-yourself guy). Most comfortable in a golf shirt and dockers/jeans but enjoy dressing up for a fine night out. Have done some traveling, Mexico, Eastern Caribbean, Bahamas, Hawaii, Canada. I'm a dog person and just lost mine after 16 happy years. I tend to be spontaneous but with everything there has got to be some balance. I would love to meet that special someone to shares qualities of life, good friends, and common interests for that LTR.
