Date someone special from Chico, United States. I like to keep my spirit of adventure alive by doing something I have not done before. Last summer I went to three different county fairs. At one I found a jewelry maker from Peru and bought a natural fiber cotton shirt with Peruvian art work. I took a trip to Brazil that was remarkable and enlightening. There, I traveled to a small mountain town reminiscent of a European village with cobble stoned streets and beautiful natural surroundings of forested hills and farms. I have enjoyed traveling across country in the US too. Often my trips are combined with contemplation in nature and photographing it. Or it could be a discovering a new place to eat in town, but I do like variety. I like to be purposeful through projects that help people to learn and grow. I enjoy making friends laugh with a witty observation.
Now that my children are out on their own I would like to meet a woman who can share my adventures. Some one to take care of and embrace with affection and respect. I am seeking one special woman with a sense of youthfulness to connect with on an emotional and spiritual level and through shared activities and interests.
Meet a soulmate from California, United States. Hmmmmm - I have to describe myself, my life, and my ideal relationship partner in 2000 words or less? No problem, right? Oh well, here goes............
Because of my profession, people usually expect me to be intellectual and work centered.. While I am often focused on the work I do, it is not what I am. On one hand I can be a mischievous child, a professional on the other, and lots of other things in between. Some other words that describe me are kind, compassionate, friendly, loyal, energetic, passionate, complex, and self-confidant (overly so sometimes). I am old fashioned in that I believe a man should take care of those he loves, be a gentleman to all, and always keep his word. I still open doors for women and believe in manners. Kindness and affection are reflected in courtesy and small simple acts.
Relationships are the core of my life and sustain me through hard times. Possessions have never comforted me when I was down and my checkbook has never dried my tears, but those who care about me have. I try to remember to appreciate family, friends, and the remarkable things I have been blessed with every day. My daughter especially has grown into an amazing person and makes me proud every day.
Living mindfully and in the moment is also important to me. Racing to the future or becoming lost in the past sacrifices today to things that can't be changed or things that may never happen. Living in the moment is a hackneyed phrase, but the moment you are in is the only thing you really possess.
I have a great deal of energy and stay very active. Some of the things I enjoy are cross training and a bit of CrossFit style training, cycling, cooking, creating and playing music, hunting and fishing,, water sports, and almost anything outdoors. Music in the park on a warm summer night, road trips to go anywhere you haven't seen yet, and going to a great restaurant I have never been to before are other things that make me happy. I love my two yellow labs too. They have been my best friends and my surrogate children now that the human ones are on their own.
.
I suppose we all look for some of the same things in a relationship, like communication that doesn't need words, the feeling that someone will always be there and always have your back, and a great lover disguised as a wonderful friend. Other things important for me are someone who likes being fit and healthy, someone who is smart, funny, successful, passionate, energetic, loyal, affectionate and capable of commitment. I hope that happens here............I hope to find the girl in my dreams

Date a man from United States. I am a social guy who can function well in all settings. I prefer limited close friends as opposed to many acquaintances. I am extremely friendly, polite, and grateful. I have a good sense of humor, can be funny, and occasionally the practical joker. I am also well organized and pay attention to detail (it may be noteworthy that I always put the seat down). I am grateful to be an American living in the best country on earth (and the best gals). As a technical kind of guy I enjoy working full time as a Field Tech repairing office machines. I believe that opposites attract and would love to meet a girl who would eventually become my best friend. A friend that I can share my life with. Someone to hold and cherish. Someone who likes holding hands and cuddling. I hope to meet someone who is happy and appreciates the small things in life. Also someone who is health conscience and tries somewhat to stay in shape. (I like bike rides and weight training, but don't get me wrong, I have my lazy moments) My social life is fairly quiet.
Meet men and women from United States. I could tell you how wonderful I am and list all the great qualities, but I am sure you have read that over and over again on these sites. So, I am going to just speak from the heart and whatever happens, happens.
I am a very simple man who likes to keep it real. If you are looking for fairytale "Prince Charming", good luck finding him. I don’t know if he exists in the real world. But, if you are looking for a real, honest guy who values trust, loves to have fun, is open to new experiences, and will treat you with the love and respect a woman deserves, I am your guy. Once you get my heart, you got it.I come from a close family, so family is very important to me, as is my faith. Friendships are also important to me. I love sports and traveling whenever I can. I love Vegas and all the nightlife, but also will take a beach anywhere.
I enjoy a nice dinner or going out for a beer or some wine. I am not into the club scene, but love going to places, whether it be a dive bar, etc.., with live music and dancing and having a good time. Curling up on the couch with that special lady and watching a movie also sounds pretty good to me too.
I am about as easy-going as you can get. I am always willing to try new things. Life is too short to be so close-minded and unwilling to compromise and try new things.
I am looking for an attractive, sexy, sincere, and trustworthy woman who loves to laugh and have fun. Someone who is very affectionate. Someone who takes pride in her physical appearance. I try to take of myself physically and would want to meet someone who does the same. Although, appearance is not the most important thing, there has to be a physical attraction.
I’m looking for someone who is realistic about life and not caught up in fairy tales. Someone who knows what relationships are about and what it takes to make them work. Some one who knows the importance of communication and the value of making each other a priority in each other’s life.
