Date men and women from United States / California / Encinitas, 38 year old

Date a soulmate from Encinitas, United States. Just moved to San Diego from Salt Lake City. I want to find someone who is caring, genuine, fun loving, active, adventurous and crazy about me. My friends would probably describe me as quiet, generous, honest and fun. I don't know, maybe they wouldn't. I only care what you think anyway. I like seeing new places and learning new things. I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I try to live a simple life. Id like to find someone who doesn't take things too seriously and enjoys my company. A sense of humor is a must. I have two brothers who live far away but when we get together we have a good time. There are some things I'm passionate about. I'll tell you about them sometime. Spending time doing anything with people who are important to me is what I look forward to.

Meet single man from Encinitas, United States.
Among the things I enjoy, play soccer every other day, surf, spend time under the sun, NPR junkie, sports photo journalism and wrench the car whenever needed.

Of the places I have lived in the USA San Diego is without a doubt my favorite, though I am glad I experienced life in other states before.
We have it so good in San Diego. I think it's important not to ever take it for granted.
I'm a digital artist. I create graphics for a video games. That is my geek credential. When I'm not working I'm either playing soccer, at the beach, hanging out with my buddies, or just reading.
I tend to enjoy the company of bright, witty people. Independent and creative thinkers, and people who not take themselves too seriously.
Looking forward to meet new cool, interesting people and see what happens.
Ok that's enough writing for today.
Best of luck to everyone.

Date men and women from Encinitas, United States. I emigrated to America from England with a job offer I couldn't refuse.... I consider myself an eternal optimist and I'm looking for someone with a similar bright outlook on life. I want someone who can easily laugh at themselves and not take the world too seriously, but someone who also bears a strong set of principles and maturity.
I love the arts particularly music and film. I listen to anything from the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Vaughan Williams. I'm passionate about films with good cinematography - particularly films like Delicatessen or Amelie. I love gigs and classical concerts, theatre, art galleries etc.
I love just getting out and experiencing life with that 'someone special', and then returning home to cook together and drink fine wines. I like to stay out if it rains or thunders - actually tennis is an interesting sport when its thundering and lightning.... And I love cosy weekends away! I love the feeling of exploring new places with someone when you're just so in tune with each other and the end of the weekend just seems so very far away......
Sometimes its nice to put intellectual pursuits to one side and just spend an afternoon chilling out together in a pub and just chat nonsense.
Ah what else can I add to tempt thee into my life? Erm... I hate changing duvet covers! Does that do it for you? I love the smell of fresh bread! I hate passing the cooked chicken counter in supermarkets... I like being behind people when they trip up in front of you and wonder if anyone noticed. Oh - and recently discovered Creme Brulee! What a treat!
Well, I can't help but feel I have missed out some essential ingredient in this description but there you go. I'm sure I will awaken at some ungodly hour of the morning and figure it out.

Meet a man from Encinitas, United States. If I am drunk...
1. Bathroom self portraits with minimal clothes
2. "Puckered lips" pictures (I have been overseas for too long, when did this start?)
3. Girls from Oceanside with way to much makeup.
If I am sober...
1. none of the above unless u r super duper cute
2. Can make me laugh because you dry wit makes me thirsty
3. You tell me and...
I am very content with where I am at! I "feel" super fortunate to have such a exciting, unique and interesting life.
Anything different from the “usual” I love. Whether clubbing the Costa Del Sol or kayaking mangrove lagoons in Baja, I always find that living and breathing other cultures teaches you more about yourself and where you are from. From flip flops on the Havana water front, to front and center, suit and tie “Hablando Espanol”. I find being versatile is making and enjoying the most life has to offer.
I grew up in California, but began traveling at a young age to Baja California for surfing, fishing, diving and the amazing beauty of where the desert meets the ocean. I went to school in Malibu (Pepperdine) and have spent several years living in Europe (Sweden, Spain and Italy). The last seven years I have been in South America mostly Buenos Aires. I recently returned from living in the jungle of Paraguay with some of my workers, buying orchids, chasing butterflies and watching toucans. I have always found that living somewhere for 3 months is the minimum you need to understand the culture and get the most out of your experience.
Having spent most of my adult life living overseas I find that the bar scene here a bit lacking so I thought that I would give this a try for some fun and intelligent conversation.
While I usually keep my circle of friends rather intimate (depending where on the planet I am living at the time), I am open to anyone who is honest, loves and lives life to the fullest, and has great energy. The beauty in life lies in the unexpected.

Date someone special from Encinitas, United States.
If you have any pictures of your little dogs in your profile, all that tells me is you think you're some kind of diva and you're probably high maintenance. So it wouldn't work.
If you've already had all the kids you want, it probably won't be a long-term thing for us. If you're ok with just dating, then so am I.
If you like to have interesting conversations with other genuine people, then I'd like to hang out with you.
If you have a fairly substantial appetite for fun, then stop reading and send me a message.
If you watch a ton of Reality TV, I will make fun of you and that awful stuff that now qualifies as entertainment. If you can handle that then we could probably date but most likely not long term.
The people I want in my life are positive, intelligent and believe in the importance of contributing joy to the world.
If you're not any of those things and you just want to hook up, it could work, but only for a little while.
Life's too short to spend with negative people and I try to enjoy every waking hour.
Anything outdoors is good but indoors is a close second.
If you're from the Midwest, I would definitely like to meet you.
If you speak Dutch, message me. Alstublief!
Also like good movies, not lame movies. 'Twilight' and 'Crossroads' were lame. 'Midnight in Paris,' 'The Descendents' and 'Moneyball' were good.
If you like to golf, cool. If not, no big deal. We don't have to have everything in common. Just some things to talk about and places to go. The talking part actually isn't that important but it sounds good and most people are too busy to read this far anyway.

Meet people from Encinitas, United States. For starters, I am never good at trying to advertise myself and saying who I am looking for. I always think it limits who I am looking for and who is interested in me. I firmly believe that opposites can attract and I also think, like minds can be good friends and lovers alike. We are all different. I will never find someone that is 100% or who will find me an 100% fit. Life is about differences and we are all different.
About me:
I love to draw, write lyrics and poetry, paint(Fine art, and Interior exterior), write and play guitar. Right now, I work for a paint company as a sales rep. and I paint for contractors on the side. I believe that anything creative is a psychologist that we all need sometimes. We play with our creativity and learn something every day. I give Guitar lessons.
I love languages; I am currently learning Spanish on my own. I speak a touch of French, and a little bit of Italian. I love different cultures and I love to travel. I have been to most of Western Europe, I have traveled to a few cities in Mexico, and I have been to most of the states in the US.
I prefer 1 on 1 than a group of people partying.
I love to cook and experience new tastes, and new places. I enjoy hanging at a coffee house, an art gallery or a hole in the wall bar. I love all kinds of music. Classical, hard rock, industrial, country, some rap and some R and B. I just don't dig the gangster rap, or hard core thrash metal. although I can go to a night club and dance to some of the rap and R and B.
I love surfing, running, biking, skiiing and surfing.
I love animals of all kinds. I would never hurt anything intentionally even to the point of saving a fly from my boss' coffee :P.
I feed off learning everyday whether it is a language, history or arts.
I love taking pictures, clouds and flowers are my favorite photos.
A little about what I want from someone (But, staying away from categorizing and narrowing my expectations.)
I am looking for a friend, someone that accepts the differences we all have. Someone who can respect me and trust me and feel trusted. I am looking for someone that I can be myself with. Someone, who accepts me for who I am and want the same thing in return. Someone to learn from and learn with. I am looking for a different piece of me. Attraction is important, but I think most of our attractions come from being accepted and accepting and having no hidden feelings. Independence is important for both of us. Absolute admiration when we are together. Life is full of struggles, someone who can handle and deal with struggles when we are both going through things. A smart ass, and comedian... someone who can dish out as much as I do and someone who can be playful and sexy and fun.
This is alot more than I thought I would write: So, I will leave it with a poem I wrote recently thinking of a bee and a flower:
The Nectar is sweet
especially when it seeps
from your skin, soul, lips and words
you induce me into collecting the thoughts
you never provide
but only hint at
with words you never mention
make my way through your maze
your nectar is so sweet
your words are silent
your speech is not needed
the nectar is what you give off freely
and all I could ever need
to hope to understand everything
but to forget it all
the words unspoken
the truth unmentioned
the instructions not given
the fact, a flower is what you crave to be
and I am the collector
of what you give out freely
until your thoughts change
the nectar is sweet
until your thoughts change
I will remain

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I believe in working hard and playing hard. I have done a lot of going out and now more so enjoy just hanging with my friends in a more low key atmosphere. I also love anything that involves appreciating nature, especially waves. But don't get me wrong I value a quiet evening at home with that someone special a lot as well.
I think everyone should be nice to just about everybody. I am the type that rarely gets into an arguement mainly because I feel everything can be worked out. Overall I tend to see the good in everyone and everything. My motto is peace love and random acts of kindness.
I am looking for someone that knows how to have fun and is easygoing yet still goal oriented. Definitely someone who is NOT judgemental. Someone that enjoys trying out lots of different things. Someone who loves to party on when the occasion calls. Life is all about balance. someone to have great conversations with. And the superficial side of me does want someone who finds themself attractive. ULTIMATELY, I AM LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO WOW ME AND MAKE ME WANT TO GET OFF OF MATCH...
It is great if you like to surf or golf. Its a big part of my life and I would like for someone to share in that. If not physically then at least someone that would not get bothered if I brought it up all the time.
I am very responsible and have my finances, bills, career, etc in order. I don't care what you do as long as you try hard at it and could care less how much you make. However I do want to be with someone who has their act together.
Thanks for reading and if interested. In knowing more let me know.
Cheers
