Date men from United States / California / Encinitas, 50 year old

Date a soulmate from Encinitas, United States. I am smart and honest, loyal and self-sufficient. My friends think I'm fun; your mileage may vary. The peculiarities of my work and parenting situation make it difficult for me to meet new people these days, so here I am.
I like most outdoor activities, and I enjoy not only playing sports and but doing almost anything competitive. I prefer to keep in shape through sport rather than by hitting the gym. I'm quite willing to try new things: I'll play your sport, listen to your music, watch your movies or tv shows. I can't promise I'll like them, but I'll certainly give them a try. I may end up liking them more than you do.
I'm also a bit of a nerd. My degree is in math, and I use math in my work. I like brain games; for example, I play chess. I like puzzles; I love figuring things out. To be completely honest, I find the solutions to certain types of problems of this sort to be very beautiful, as beautiful in their own way as (say) a lovely piece of music. If this makes you roll your eyes, I'm probably not the guy for you. If you just can't relate, that's ok: it's not a big part of my life, and there are lots of other things we can do together.
I like old movies and I enjoy musicals more than you do. I saw "Les Miserables" on stage in London in 1997 with an absolutely stellar cast, and it's been one of my favorites ever since.
Finally, for you world travelers out there, I must admit that I'm kind of a homebody. That doesn't mean I hate travel, far from it. I've travelled quite a bit around Europe and the US, and I've had a great time. But I don't *yearn* to travel or sightsee. I schedule occasional trips, usually with a specific purpose in mind. But after a week or two, I’m usually quite ready to relax at home.
I’m looking for someone who is smart, honest and loyal. I like people who are independent and can make themselves happy. I’m fairly upbeat, and I prefer to be with someone similar. I like people who are willing to talk about things, even things that make them uncomfortable – communication is so important in a relationship.
I think I match up well with a person who likes to be the social director. I'm not shy or anti-social, I'm just....disorganized, I guess. In certain ways, like this, I'm a fairly prototypical guy.
My two elementary-school age girls live with me half the time, so I'm not just an occasional dad. My kids are the most important part of my life; there are obvious consequences to that, so I wanted to make it clear.
If I look like the kind of person you'd like to meet, please get in touch. If not, good luck!

Meet a man from Encinitas, United States. I'm a sensitive, intelligent, adventurous guy. I love the outdoors, and I love to snorkel, hike, and backpack. I am looking for a long term relationship, one which emphasizes simplicity, affection, caring, and love. I was born into the wrong culture. I should be an Italian fisherman, living in a small seaside village. My life would consist of honest work, friends, and a close family. I teach biological science. I also love to build furniture and renovate old houses. If you live to hike and enjoy the beauty of nature, contact me. I am always busy building something. My philosophy is "embrace life!"

Date single man from Encinitas, United States. I am a hard working person, self reliant, fun-loving, semi-active, and free-thinking (I think?!). I love animals - I have a dog and a cat so if you don't like dogs or cats, we probably won't get along. I hope to do more traveling this year around the U.S., hopefully to Europe in the next couple of years. I enjoy fine dining of all different types, as well as finding fun/delicious dives. I try to see a movie every two weeks and enjoy almost all genres. It'd be awesome to meet a woman who enjoys the occasional horror flick. I'm fairly liberal but I definitely will listen to your point of view if you're not. I see that most ladies are looking for a tall guy - I'm not that but I've been told (not just by my Mom) that I'm a decent looking guy :).
I'm looking for a woman with a great sense of humor, a little irreverent, maybe a little on the subversive side. Intellegence counts a lot. Hopefully, you're not superficial and hopefully you have some cool interests in life, read a fair amount and don't take yourself too seriously.
OK, I'm rambling and I'd rather just communicate by email and eventually I'd like to meet the right woman for coffee and hopefully things will progress from there.

Meet someone special from Encinitas, United States. Hi. I’m a kind, attractive, caring, passionate, smart, adventurous and successful man. I'm looking for a partner for a romance that can last for the rest of our lives. The things I care about most are the people who are close to me. On friend said of me that being a good guy just flows out of me. I hope that's true, and it was a very nice compliment. At least, I try very hard to be an honest and good person and help others. My closest family growing up were my mother and sisters. They are smart, fun, strong, successful women, and I learned young to enjoy and respect their strength and have compassion for their struggles.
When I’m with someone special I like being spontaneous, adventurous, romantic, surprising them with little gestures, sensual, playful, and basically having that type of fun you see two people who just met in the movies having! I’m looking for someone who has similar qualities, and who desires someone who they can really connect with on a deep level. I feel there has to be mutual physical attraction for there to be good chemistry between two people. So being fit and having good looks are important, as well as sensuality and affection.
I've been lucky to have a fun and exciting life. I've climbed in Yosemite, snowboarded in Colorado, sailed on Lake Superior, SCUBA dived in the Pacific, surfed, swam in emerald jungle pools, and traveled from Tikal to Rome to Norway. I've been to the opera in Vienna, heard Mozart in the Cambridge, and seen an 80' tall Bono sing "Where The Streets Have No Name." I have many things to be thankful for.
I want to continue to have a fun and exciting life, but it would be nice to share it with a great woman. No success or excitement or adventure is as wonderful as tender moments shared with someone you love. I'm looking for someone who feels the same way. I've had some very significant relationships, but sometimes the very best intentions don't lead to "happily ever after." I love children -- I'm definitely the favorite uncle -- and I'm definitely open to the idea.
I'm excited by each new day, but I want to start it by bringing coffee to someone I love. I imagine dropping anchor in some beautiful cove, watching the sun go down with my partner, and then going below for a peaceful sleep rocked by the waves. There are millions of perfect moments waiting to be shared.
If you can see yourself sharing this kind of life with me, I'd love to get to know you.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. What have I learned about relationships and dating??? My goal is to always make you feel like a rock star in all the good ways e.g. healthy and legal. I only clarify because this is LA.:) I may not be the President of the United States however I would love to make you feel like the President without the stress of the real job. If you have or want children guess what??? I will make them feel like they are the Presidents kids!!! It's not about kids It's about you as far as I'm concerned you come first I know for some of us thats hard to hear sorry :)
Real world meetings perferred at a farmers market, working out or even through a friend instead of the dating matrix however here we are...lol My pics are recent hopefully not too hard on the eyes.lol
It's a little strange talking about yourself here. right? It's about that peanut butter and jelly kind of connection we just get along well. Beauty inside and out is individual e.g. see a Picasso and cry and others will just keep walking. I love new adventures and old haunts… I’m crazy for the arts, and the most amazing art of all FOOD!!!
I moved here from Colorado 4 years ago for career and family who have lived here 40 years. I drive a slow Ferrari disguised as a Toyota 4 Runner. (If not funny just laugh politely...:)) I love Colorado (Rocky Mountain National Park), Arizona (Sedona), and California!
I'm looking for someone who is affectionate, finds people interesting, desires a LTR, and enjoys all intimacy, laughing, nature, art... Someone who will revel in the quiet times, great conversations, and hanging out with family/friends...
Surprise me with a wink!
Good Luck
