Date people from United States. I am a software developer by trade, with a specialization in data warehousing/business intelligence. I was all set to go to Sydney, Australia in 2008 to manage a development team until the economy intervened. I had a nice 2 month trip to Sydney on someone else's dime and even leased an apartment with a respectable view of the Harbour Bridge before that particular dream came crashing down. The view would have been awesome on New Years Eve. Alas… I accepted my former employer's early retirement offer and eventually found my current position as a consultant with a large healthcare firm in Pleasanton. I am working as a business/systems analyst on an enterprise-scaled data warehouse project for this firm. My goal is to transition to full time status with this firm and they are mostly agreeable with that idea.
I have a small townhouse here in Livermore where I have lived since 2003. I moved to the Tri-Valley area from the South Bay in 1996, and I have lived in the Bay Area since 1960. I was born in Southern California and so I am a California native son.
I don't really expect my ideal partner to share all of my interests, but a few would be cool. Personal fitness-wise, I run and I am a road bicyclist. I am an amateur photographer, and I have had some of my photos published in specialty magazines. Motorsports is a bit of a specialty, but I also enjoy taking my camera along on hikes. I am a bytehead by nature, so you can assume technology is a hobby as well as my job. I am a car enthusiast and I participate in autocross events held by the regional marque club each month. I enjoy good movies, museums and galleries, concerts (jazz and classical, mostly, but I am flexible if the music is good), dining out, cooking, and just generally exploring.
I have never been married. Life just hasn't worked out that way for me, at least not so far. Nor do I do have any children.
I was brought up to be a gentleman so please humor me and let me open doors for you, walk on the traffic side of the sidewalk and such. I love giving flowers but I promise not to overwhelm you and turn your home into a greenhouse.
Faith is not a quality I possess, but my moral framework was shaped by regular attendance at church when I was a child. I subscribe to a lot of what I leaned there, but I am not dogmatic about it.
So who am I attracted to? My best friend, of course. Life is a lot more fun when it is shared with someone special. I am looking for a friend first, and if what we share grows into something more, then that would be perfect. Cute and stylish would be good. A nice sense of humor but with a serious side too. Someone who is affectionate and likes to hold hands and steal an occasional kiss in public. Someone who is bright and articulate, but with the potential to get a little goofy now and then. I would prefer to date someone who lives relatively close by so that it's easy for us to spend time with each other.
Meet a soulmate from United States. Life is better when shared. I'm searching for my one-and-only to enjoy all that life has to offer.
I'm a traditional, old fashioned guy with a big True heart. A loyal relationship with me can last a lifetime. Just ask any of my lifelong friends. I know how to be a gentleman, I know how to treat a lady and I strive to know the way to my lady's heart. I'm very affectionate, passionate, romantic and emotional. I also have a great sense of humor from growing up next door to a family that could have all been professional comedians. I was in a near fatal mountain bike accident 6 years ago and I even have funny stories from that tragic time in my life. I like to hold hands with my girl when we walk down the street and Ill steal a kiss from her in public too.
Home is where my heart is, but I enjoy traveling too. I'm looking for someone who’s a little adventurous and who loves to get out and do fun things. There’s so many cool things to see and it is so much better to see them with your one and only. Like I said at the start of my profile, life is better when shared. Family is very important to me and it should be to you too. If it isn’t now, it will be with me. Hey it’s because of the great and unique childhood I had that made me into the caring big hearted man that I am today. Yes I’ve been through a lot, both good and bad, but I wouldn’t trade any of it, it made me, me.
I’m an open book so if you want to know anything about me just ask. I believe in communication. It is essential for a great relationship. One last thing you need to know, you can count on me!
You will never hit a homerun in life unless you step up to the plate and take a few swings. My profile is a soft easy pitch, I hope you hit it DEEP!
This profile is under construction, more info to be included soon. But if you like what you see here don't wait respond today, don't get shut out. I will remove this profile as soon as I find my true love.

Native Californian- I come from a large Irish/ Catholic family. Most of my siblings live in the bay area. Family is important to me. I have two daughters in college that live away from home. I was happily married for 34 years to my best friend. Sadly he passed away last year; I would like to start a new journey- with you? I am ready to put myself out there and explore the possibilities of meeting someone to spend the rest of my life with. I am financially responsible, healthy, fit, confident and like who I am. I am preparing to enjoy my "golden years"; it would be so nice to enjoy with someone special.
While I am somewhat reserved- I have a dry sense of humor and perhaps more energy than most woman my age.
I do dishes - I don't cook! I have found cleaning house to be theraputic; however, don't need as much therapy these days.

Date people from United States. I'm a lady who loves life - that means working hard and playing hard. I love to laugh and enjoy the lighter side of life. I live an active and healthy lifestyle. A work/life balance is important to me and so is trying to keep physically fit. I love being outdoors, am a warm weather person,and enjoy hiking, golf (a novice- I am a social gal), gardening, travel (who doesn't),cooking, entertaining friends and family. I am young at heart and am always open to new challenges and experiences. I enjoy the nice things of a successful life as well as the simple pleasures and am compassionate, easy going, loving and kind, intelligent, social. I choose to be happy, have a glass half full attitude and to be generous, affectionate, and attentive to the ones I love, especially with my partner. Family is very important to me and I hold dear the close relationships of my immediate family and close friends as they bring a balance to my life. I feel blessed to have raised three children, two now in their careers, and the youngest attending his first year of college at San Diego State....
My special someone is active, energetic, and physically fit. He likes the sharing of activities, from golf to a weekend get away to a chick flick- it doesn't matter it's just about being together, and some independently. He is intelligent and passionate about life; possess qualities of honesty and integrity, loyalty and dependability; be open to new experiences, adventure. He is a man who knows what he wants, in life and in a woman and partner, and is communicative about wants, needs, and feelings; he enjoys putting romance in a relationship, sees the humor in most things and down to earth when the situation warrants, is giving, patient and affectionate, and open to building a long term relationship through honesty, sharing, trust and respect, where together we can experience the magic and a variety of life adventures.
Meet a soulmate from Livermore, United States. Some of my favorite moments in life are based in nature. E.g., scuba diving or being in the wilderness of Minnesota walking across the frozen Lake Michigan in the middle of winter at midnight just so I could touch Canada. I love the ocean, although, I wouldn't call myself a sun-bather (the sun accelerates the aging process!), but I love the sounds and smells of the ocean and feel very connected to the sea. I like adventure and have always wanted to share exploring new things with my partner. On the domestic front, I'd like to have a partner who likes to cook, garden and work on projects together. I'm a working professional and love my job doing business to business (b2b sounds so pretentious to me) advertising and marketing consulting. I feel very fortunate to have survived the worsts of "The Great Recession" and have been employed by the same company for 9 years running. I work pretty hard, but weekends are golden to me, especially Sundays. It is my dream to live part time in another country. I watch HGTV Househunters International and love to see couples fulfilling the same dream together. I believe the hall mark of a good relationship is good communication and shared values. Anyhow, I'm not desparate and I'm not in a hurry to rush into a relationship, but I would like to find a great match and enjoy life together with the right man for me. I know you are out there...
