Date women from United States / California / Irvine, 42 year old - page 2

Date someone special from Irvine, United States. Not sure about this online dating thing. I've heard some interesting tales (good and bad) that leave me skeptical yet hopeful.
Work can sometimes be a grind so I like to maximize my time with my family and friends, especially my kiddos who are the two best things that ever happened to me. However, there is something to be said for my downtime alone.
I am easy going, quick to smile and love to laugh. However, I am not a big fan of dating. Would love to just find myself in the middle of a relationship that just works. Of course, that would just be too easy. In a word, unrealistic.
So, here I am...giving it a shot. Here's to hoping.
P.S. I hate to have my picture taken. Finding a picture, much less a current picture of me, is like finding a needle in a haystack. So the one I am posting is the best I can do. However, here are my updated stats since the picture: I am 2 years older, I have lost the bangs, my hair is darker and I have grown it out a few inches.
Ok. I have finally uploaded a couple current photos. The group shot was taken in June 2012 in Miami. The other was taken in April 2012. I know...it's blurry. As I said before, drive-by highly recommended.
