Date men from United States / California / Dublin, 44 year old

Date a soulmate from Dublin, United States. Let me first say that I am definitely new here and somewhat skeptical about this online dating thing. I am checking it out and giving it the benefit of my doubt to see what might happen. I lead a pretty busy life, but know how to make room when needed for people, but it can be tough at times to actually meet new people.
I am often told that I am a true and wonderful friend. I will do just about anything for a friend and am always there when needed. I can be a little intense at times and maybe even talk too much. I have been told I am very honest, loyal, thoughtful, direct, open, honest, giving, caring, a true gentleman and amazingly respectful. Friends have told people that at times my first impression can be a bit tough, but once you get past that I truly am an amazing and wonderful person and will be your best friend!
I am a very active person with lots of energy and passion. Most people do not believe I am really 44 and to be honest I sometimes (most of the time) forget myself...I have been told I am in my 40's but going into the 30's. I am very adventurous, spontaneous and there is not much I won't do or try. During the summer you will probably find me on a boat on the water Wake boarding, waterskiing, barefooting and in the winter Snow boarding and riding dirt bikes! I work hard and play harder! I am very dedicated with everything I do including with people. I am a type A personality for the most part, but I definitely know how to relax, enjoy down time, have fun and have a good time. This all might sound like a lot and that I am looking for someone to keep up, but that is really not a deal breaker, but if you can keep up that’s great!
Ultimately I would like to find someone who is independent, has there own life and friends, like and knows how to have fun, not into drama and has a positive attitude. Also having a good connection with someone as well as chemistry is very important.

Meet a man from Dublin, United States. An intuitive people-person here. I am looking for another quality person to start sharing fun and whatever comes naturally. I am interested in getting to know someone for who they are. I think that someone's actions speak louder than words. I give credit in advance and then that is what I usually go by. My friends describe me as social, talkative, funny, irreverent at times, active, smart, thoughtful, true to my values and loyal. In my free time when not relaxing from the daily grind, I like to play sports, put on some favorite music, cook something up, get away from home and go - All over the place. I hate to decline an invitation or try something new also.You will notice in my pics that I am gregarious, like being outdoors and am not a shy person. I am not just looking for a globe traveling or backwoods companion as it seems many are describing themselves online. More of a person with whom I can realistically share being with in after work situations and weekend variations. But for my vacation time I usually travel. I like to see some makeup and self pampering on a lady but not heavy warpaint. My style does not consist of dazzling man-jewelry or dinner-plate sized watches or Affliction shirts to draw attention to myself. I am without tattoos. I don't want to start a family at this time in my life however, if you have children we may be able to make that work. I do like kids. If you would like to know more, just ask. I will respond.
You - Can you get up and go on a whim? Do you appreciate having someone include you in their thoughts and plans and looking out for you? Do you like the give and take between a couple? Are you comfortable in your own skin? Those are some qualities or values I would like in you. Are you ready to meet someone even though this is awkward?
