Date men and women from United States / California / Long Beach, 48 year old

Date a man from Long Beach, United States. I'm just looking for that special chemistry between two people that everyone else is. You know, the one that makes you smile when you receive an unexpected call or text, and you can't wait to see them? Partnership is key as well as respect for each other and trust.
Time with family and friends are a very important part of my life and I enjoy all the special times no matter what the occasion.
I’m definitely the outdoors type (I know, who isn't right?). I certainly live for the weekends and enjoy a number of interests which include shows, sporting events, comedy clubs, concerts, a dive bar every now and then and just walking around somewhere new and exciting or you can find me riding my Bike up/down the coast with the guys or camping out in the desert riding dirt bikes.
Love the ocean and will find time to hit the waves surfing from time to time in HB or just riding the beach cruiser on the boardwalk. Love (trailer :)) camping on the beach in Oceanside with family/friends! Talk about fun weekends!!!
Not much of a TV person as I want to be out and about enjoying life! I could go on and on, but anybody could just type works you find interesting, right?
Well, if you made it this far, I'm told by many that I look and and act much younger than my age :)

Meet a soulmate from Long Beach, United States. To tell a little bit about myself is I’m a dork when it comes to these type of things. But here goes any way. I love the outdoors and blue skies. I enjoy any of the skiing sports (water and snow), mountain biking, and most of all horseback riding. I love to listen to music of all types, but can’t dance. I live a simple life, but do enjoy the nice things life has to offer. (first class and five star restaurants). I love wearing a suit as must as I love wearing jeans…
I’m looking for someone who loves to be outdoors, but loves warm fires inside when its cold out. Someone that is willing to try anything once before giving up on it and willing to stand up in what they believe in. Someone that believes in honesty, loyalty, and love is important.

Date single man from Long Beach, United States. I am a very creative and adventuresome person who enjoys pursuing everything in life with passion. It is important for me to love what I am doing in my work and to surround myself with people who are passionate about the same things as I am. I can be deep and reflective, but I also have a less serious, spontaneous side.Someone warm, sensitive, empathic. Lots of sex appeal. I appreciate women who are self-aware, but not overly serious. Someone with a great sense of humor, lots of energy, spontaneous. I am pursuing my childhood dream of working as an animator. I am really inspired by my work and I am a very happy-go-lucky free spirit with an optimistic outlook. As an artist, I have found that a healthy sense of curiousity is fundamental to continual creativity. Along with being outgoing and social, I think I am a particularly thoughtful person. Above all, I think that the most important thing in life is "learning". Learning something new about myself, other people, a new way of doing something, etc..

Meet people from Long Beach, United States. I am a midwest guy who's been here for a year now. I love everything about living in SoCal as it gives me the year-round ability to do what I love most; be outdoors. I have a pretty high energy level and don't sit idle for too long, however I don't mind chillin' every now and then for the right reasons. I hope to find a girl here who has a similar energy level and an adventurous spirit. I am looking for someone to have fun with, share good times and get to really know each other, leading to a long-term relationship. I do not multi-task, meaning one girl gets my complete attention and I deserve the same. I'm pretty self aware so finding a few words to describe myself to you is not that hard. I am a confident and strong guy but don't need to be the loudest one in the room. I am a good listener and have a level head even in difficult situations. I tend to do the right thing even when it might be hard. I am romantic and make no apologies for treating my girl special. I believe that a relationship, like anything worth holding on to takes an honest and consistent investment, both in time and actions. I try to give without expecting anything in return. I am a hard worker, like to keep my house clean and a have a tool and the ability to fix damn near anything. I actually like exercise and couldn't do without it. I am not obsessed with it as I like to think that a great pizza and beer are not the enemy. I just like balance. You; emotionally available and looking for the same things I am in a relationship. I don't want someone who likes everything that I do but rather someone who can expose me to some wonderful new this and thats. You are playful in life and love. You like a strong emotional and physical connection. Intelligence is as sexy to me as a killer pair of heels and I am not threatened by a successful or smart girl. You are more concerned with the quality of the relationship than the physical things that some are so drawn to. I am successful in my career and love what I do. I don't care how much money you make as long as you love life and step into each day with full intention. So, you get a great guy who is a bundle of good energy, will treat you right and not take you for granted and I get a playful, smart, sexy and most important REAL girl who cares truly cares about the world around her. And me!

Date men and women from California, United States. I am a transplanted New Yorker who enjoys living in LA. I am very outgoing and love to enjoy my free time. I work hard so it doesn't leave much time for going to bars and spending time searching for a great woman. When I am off I like to relax and have fun. Sometimes just a quiet evening at home or a crazy weekend out of town. I like to work out, and keep my self in good shape, I'm about 155 lbs. But I am not obsessed with it, I still enjoy the ocassional cheesburger,fries and my favorite... pizza. I very much enjoy spicy food as well...the hotter the better. I like great cars and motorcycles, Porsches, Ferrari and Harley are my favorites and I enjoy a nice ride along the ocean at sunset or a weekend drive up to Big Sur or the wine country. I enjoy almost all outdoor activities, golf, skiing, going to beach to name a few, and all kinds of music. I play the guitar and I have just started to collect them also. I love to try new restaurants. I am equally comfortable in jeans or a great Italian suit (actually I love clothes...) and I am the greatest shopper of all time. LOL. I'm a full blooded Italian and learned my way around the kitchen from watching my mom cooking.(I can make a mean lasanga). I have gotten tired of going to the bars and clubs wasting my time. I am really ready to meet the right person. I am looking for someone who can make me laugh. Someone who I can talk to about anything,(or nothing) and never make me feel uncomfortable, but instead genuinly interested and secure. A person who can have fun at a black tie dinner or blasting down Malibu Canyon enjoying a beautiful day. A great kisser and passionate lover, who can be spontanious and romantic. A person who will love me for me and who can appreciate me as a person. I want someone who is happy on the inside and is seeking the right person because they want to share there feelings, time and love. Someone who can be erotic, daring and take a chance. A person who will say yes before no and wants to be nurtured not smothered, give not take, share and explore life and the world together. Someone who wants to share their life and have fun doing it. If these things are important to you drop me a line, There is no real "type" for me, Chemistry is the key. That special something that you can only find when you sit next to someone hold there hand and feel them look for yours and not want to let go. That look in there eyes. You know the look when you see it. Life is short, let find out if the chemistry is right between us. Hey, the worst thing that can happen is that you will make a new friend. You may just meet that special one person you have been looking for. I'm not a serial dater... I want to have fun but I don't go on dates unless I think there is a chance for a real connection. I am hoping for my last first date:) I want someone who is funny, smart and beautiful... Now whats so hard about that,,,Thanks for reading.
PS... My pictures are about 2 years old(last summer)....so I have longer hair that is a bit darker and I'm thinner now.... Looking forward to meeting you :)

Meet people from California, United States. I generally dislike dating sites; I feel like the woman I am seeking is not the type of woman that would use one either. But alas...
So, I'm mature, well read, well travelled and ready to find my mate. I have had some success in the past but none that I feel compelled to dwell on or cry over. I'm hoping to find a lover, a friend and a partner. Good luck to all.
