Date people from California, United States. I am at a point in my life where I am still young enough that I want to have fun and meet new people. But I am also at a point where I am planning for my future career and how I will see my self in the next 5 years.
I graduated as an engineer from the University of Southern California (fight on!), and love LA. I definitely appreciate any girl who is versatile and can party one day and chill on the couch the next.
I love my home town, but I also love traveling as I have been to numerous continents with my family and friends.

Meet a boy from California, United States. I am a very good listener so talkers are wanted! I will open up eventually but I really enjoy learning about other people.
I like to laugh and joke around because I take the career side of my life so seriously.
I do work a lot of hours, but if you're special I'll make time for you :-).
I am very into movement. I don't enjoy being stagnant, so if all you want to do is lie on the couch and watch tv, we probably aren't meant to be. That being said, I am very much into film - I just enjoy a healthy balance.
I try to find the good in all things. My life isn't perfect, but who's is? There is little use in complaining about what is wrong - I would rather actively pursue change.
I have played instruments since I was 5 years old. Music has always been a big part of my life. I love to sing and play guitar, so hopefully you do too - or at least enjoy listening!
I am a director of photography, editor, and overall filmmaker. I am always looking for the beauty in the world or at least an interesting way to look at what is not so beautiful.
I am also a passionate hockey player - so hopefully you can at least put up with my need to get on the ice once a week :-).
If you're still reading this it seems that something must have struck your interest, so let's have a conversation! I'm over the only a pretty face adventure, let's talk about something real. I'm looking for a deep connection, but I'm also not going to force a relationship if I don't feel sparks (if I'm being honest).
Thank you for reading!
Date a soulmate from California, United States. Hello! As you can probably tell from the above statement, I'm pretty much a grown-up person. What does that mean exactly? Well, for starters, it means I tend not to greet people by saying, "S'up," coupled with a casual head nod. It means my wardrobe consists of more than ironic tees and cargo shorts (which by extension means I own a wardrobe and use it to store my clothes instead of keeping them in an old duffle bag at the foot of my non-existent futon). It means I have a job that I go to, like, every weekday, and I get paid for it in money instead of school credit or vouchers for discount froyo.
Mostly though, it means I know what I want out of life, out of relationships, out of myself. I know who I am. I possess some basic levels of self-awareness and personal hygiene. I hold doors for people. I have the capacity to actively engage in conversations with people over the age of thirty. And while it may not be apparent from this paragraph, I do not have to make everything all about myself.
Sound like someone you might be looking for? Then you're probably someone I'm looking for. So let's stop looking for each other and start looking at each other.
Meet someone special from California, United States. Alright, time to put on my dancing shoes. Here comes “the pitch”, as it were. I wish I had a crack ad wizard on hand that could Don Draper the crap out of me with a catchy tagline and everything (“Daniel: He Doesn’t Have Any STDs”), but I suppose I’ll just have to try my best. First off, do you like my pics? You do? Awesome! So far so good.
A little about myself. Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area to a good family, moved to southern California after high school to study film and have been happily situated in Silverlake since I graduated college two years ago. I’m told my so-called “small-town sensibility” is a smoke signal that I ain’t from around these parts, which I guess is a good thing. People close to me tend to use words like “big-hearted”, “funny”, “intelligent”, “creative”, or “has good taste” when describing me and I confess I have no problem accepting any of those. Said accolades are also often attended by “spends too much time inside his head”, “too blunt”, and “over earnest”. So see? I’m humble, too!
I tend to keep myself centered through my creative pursuits, among them writing (particularly passionate about this), drawing, collage-work, and ad-hoc reporting of a sort (I’ll tell you later). If I’m by myself I can often be found at a coffee shop (preferably Casbah) with my laptop working on a piece or devouring a good book. I find the routine rather monastic and look forward to the prospect of meeting new people.
For fun I like to go to comedy shows, art galleries, museums, spoken word events like The Moth or Zocalo talks, live music shows, and hiking. Also, I LOVE going to the movies but can rarely find people to go with me so if that’s something you enjoy doing there’s already a 50% chance that we’ll get along (Big into independent films, but I like a lot of fun stuff too). In general, there’s a lot to do around LA so I’m always eager to try new things and go spelunking down unexplored corners of the city.
I want a woman who’s pretty, kind, smart, funny, and blah blah blah blah….
But seriously, if you fit even two of the descriptions people use for me above, that’s great. A good sense of humor is a major plus, especially if you can jive with my dry, somewhat macabre wit. I used to think that it was a big deal whether or not a girl was a “creative spirit”, but the years have shown me that they are a higher risk for having one skeleton too many in the closet. If you like to read, aren’t afraid to speak your mind, and have a strong social consciousness that totally revs my engine. I like someone who can keep me on my toes and challenge me.
Call me narrow-minded, but I largely subscribe to the High Fidelity belief that people’s pop culture interests matter. Part of that has to do with the fact that I’m such a culture addict. I’m not so Gestapo about it that you have to like everything I’m into, in fact that’s kind of boring, but if your idea of entertainment is Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Katherine Heigl movies, or 50 Shades of Grey it’s safe to say you’re not the droid I’m looking for. Oh, and I can’t. Stand. Sports. So sorry if you’re into that.
If that sounds like your flavor, send me a message. (No winks, please)
Date a guy from California, United States. I like sports (especially basketball), music and learning about money. Yes, I know that last one sounds "fun." I go to church every Sunday, I play the guitar, and like most guys, I am not that good with words.
I am pretty laid back. I hardly ever go out to clubs, and I do not drink often. But I am down to go out once in a while with the right people. I am a simple and straight forward guy. I can be a little weird, but who isn't? I try my best to be considerate of others feelings and needs. I love Chicago deep dish from Lou Malnatis. I like a good balance of everything in my life. I can be random at times and I have a terrible memory. Obviously I can only write so much about myself. But at the core of it all I am loyal, ambitious, and a bit of a dreamer.
Qualities I like are street smart, kind of weird in your own way and are not afraid to show it and someone who has an open mind. Also, kindness and a good heart.

Meet people from United States. single hardworking man looking for some love this summer, lets get out to the beach, enjoy a movie, ride the waves, eat out dinner or travel somewhere we can enjoy, have fun and be happy or more.......
Date single boy from United States. Single guy,with no major commitments right now, Working man with hopes of owning his own business. Very passionate about my hobby in hombrewing. I'm not just satisfied with the same thing, I like doing different things. I'm on my way to climing up the ladder to success. The ideal match for me doesn't have to be perfect, as long as she is sweet,loving, and caring, and a little patient that's all I want :-)
Meet men and women from United States. Did you know that the word "person" comes from the Latin word "persona" which means mask? So maybe being human means we invite spectators to ponder what lies behind. Each of us will be composed of a variety of masks, and if we can see behind the mask, we would get a burst of clarity. And if that flame is bright enough, that's when we fall in love.
At this moment in my life I am enjoying discovering who I truly am. The past few years have been remarkable for me in both fortune and misfortune but I regret nothing. Now I am just enjoying being a little more settled and focused in life and taking new perspective on who I am and what defines me. As Oscar Wilde once said, "To become a spectator of one's own life is to escape the suffering of life." I am tired of taking that easy road and being a spectator to my own life. Emotional risks and consequences of my own feelings be damned, I am attempting to truly live a life of purpose. I am very much a live in the moment type of guy, and fortunately I have excellent instincts to go along with that. It took a lot of irrational decisions and strange situations to get to this wonderful point in my life, and if I could take it all back, I most certainly wouldn't. I believe everyone is on a path, and that the future is perfect.
I am fortunate enough to be a world traveler, not only in my spare time, but for my job as well. I am passionate about helping people in need and have worked in Africa, lower Indonesia, and the Middle East. It is something that is both very rewarding and humbling for me and I plan on continuing it. It has taught me to always be grateful for everything I have. Seeing so many different cultures has also taught me to have an open mind in everything. One of the skills I've acquired through this type of work is a knack for linguistics. I love interacting with people in other languages and continually try to improve my abilities. I'm conversational in French and have basic knowledge in many others.
I have a completely overactive sense of humor, and am constantly laughing at something. I am impossible to offend. Life is too short to take it so seriously all the time.
I love the outdoors and just about every activity related to it, and I'm pretty passionate about functional fitness so anyone who shares those interests would be a big plus. I am always a sucker for a girl with a heart of gold, a good head on her shoulders, and an inquisitive mind that can think past her own makeup compact. Humility is the trait that I admire most in a person.
Date a boy from United States. I like to think I'm an easy going guy. I like to relax and chill when need be. But then I also like to go out, have fun and meet new people. I'm diverse and educated in several cultures and languages, and have an interest in many different areas of lifeprofessions. I feel I am a jack of all trades and desire to keep it that way. New adventures and new knowledge is what I seek but don't want to do it alone. I want to experience these things with friends or a mate. I'm calm and don't get riled up for small things. Sharing experiences and time with friends and family is very important to me. Being new to the LA scene, I don't get to do much alone.
Meet a soulmate from United States. I've been the type of person or friend that has dedicated 110% of my being in helping those I can in anyway in my ability. Even though that means me personally suffers. I've always been that one that will listen to the crappy day someones had or could vent to about stuff that sucks in their day. I admit I can be timid at first only cause I like to listen to what's going on before I know how to be. I've been the one in the middle and tried to make the proper conclusion of a situation.Hi all, my name is Van. I am recently out of the Untied States Air Force, and I just moved to the greater Los Angeles area. I'm originally from Oklahoma. I moved out here to start fresh. I enjoy to laugh and make others laugh. You can normally find me at the comedy club as a regular.I admit I'm kind of shy at first and I really suck at small talk, but once I get to know someone, I open up more. B/c of my traveling in the military I didn't find much time to date. I did go out to the local pubs to hang out with buddies, but nothing crazyish. I'm working full time and most of the time I'm trying to catch up with being a civilian. I love pets yet I don't have any of my own same thing with kids. (I hope that doesn't sound like I consider them the same, my bad lol) I hope to meet some to get to know and maybe develop into a relationship, if not I make an epic friend. I'm also a geek, I admit. I know a little about everything.
What I'm looking for someone that can make me smile and laugh. Someone to relax with. I'd like to find someone that I can finally be myself around and not filter my personality to cater to some. I'm looking for someone I don't have to glamor every single time. Hanging out or being together would be enough to fulfill time spent together. Enjoying the small things would be enough. I'm a geek in simple words, so I know all about being cheesy plenty of times and if she can get the humor and retort it, then epic win.
