Date men and women from United States / California / Los Angeles, 52 year old - page 2

Date a man from Los Angeles, United States. Once you get past the self-deprecating humor, you will soon learn that I'm a raging egomaniac. Nah, that's not true. How do you just say that you're a nice guy looking to share his life with his future soul mate? I guess that would do it. I'm the proud dad of a 15 year old girl and I have been single for 6 years now. I'm excited to meet some good people on here. Friendship is not at all out of the question. It's welcomed. My business isn't glamorous -- I own my own Energy business. I love the challenge of running my own company. I'm not married to my work, and even when I was actually married, I found time to surf, work out and the occasional fishing excursion (nothing like a little time alone to recharge your batteries). Things are different now, but I look forward to taking some chances and seeing who's out there.
I may be rusty about this courting stuff. It's even clearer to me that there's not just one person out there. And even if you get lucky and meet a winner, there's a mountain of work ahead, no matter what. It's knowing that the work is worth it, that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, which redeems the institution of marriage. I'm a firm believer in chemistry and wouldn't turn my back if the right incredible someone came along. A perfect relationship is one in which the reality is not that far from your fantasy. As long as you have a realistic fantasy, you are bound to one day find your bliss.
I want to smile when I think of you.
FIRST DATE:
It may involve eating, excitement or entertainment. It definitely involves me, you and a long, drawn-out moment where we don't want to say good night.

Meet single man from Los Angeles, United States. No doubt brimming with wit and wisdom. Two worlds occupy my life: on the one hand I'm an academic, a reader, with bachelor degrees in philosophy, history, humanities and a masters in art history, did some schooling in Greece, and still travel to Europe as often as possible. Used bookstores, shops full of odd and useless antiquities, art museums, and foreign films. Cuisine with inexplicable ingredients sounds like bliss. On the other hand, I was a mountaineering medic, have been to glacier climbing school, hiked from Mexico to Oregon, rock-climbed for several years, and have just been getting into cycling metric centuries, looking to move into those 100 mile rides someday. I wander trails, sniff flowers, and generally like the outdoor thing. Dreamy would be to someday buy that vacation ranch, turn it into a wildlife preserve, and let some bison loose. (I said it was dreamy....) Tend towards a wry sense of humor. Often amused at those about me and generally myself.
Someone willing to at least step outdoors without fainting; willing to plant bulbs in the backyard, inhale the erotic aroma of sauteed shallots while cooking a gourmet meal, listen to music from Satie to Ellington to Portishead; watch the new existential film as well as the summer mindless blockbuster; like cats, nature's reality check; meander the halls of the Uffizi, the twists of St Germain des Pres, the alleyways of the Plaka, and travel places even further; but still want to wander the backroads of Wyoming, watch the sun set over Devil's Tower and chase erratic fireflies in the meadows of Missouri; enjoy just reading a book with a cup of coffee as well as the smell of popcorn on Main Street; frisky enough to steam the windows on a November morning (well, one can't always be cerebral...)
Deal breaker: If you list Vegas as your favorite travel destination then, seriously, you have not been many places.

Date someone special from Los Angeles, United States. Very easy going and considerate guy with a zest for life. I feel blessed by all the good things that I have experienced and look forward to the blessings that are in my future. I really enjoy fun and interesting people on all levels, golf, good food, music, concerts, travel and almost any outdoor or indoor activity. My first love is God and I appreciate the blessings past, present and future that He has provided for me and my love ones.
To thine own self be true and it must follow as the night does the day, you cannot be false to anyone.
God is always watching and pray He blesses you on your journey.

Meet men and women from Los Angeles, United States. Single man with minimal baggage seeks nice-smelling, affectionate counterpart for dating, hopefully exclusively, and if I dare to hope, a long-term relationship. Bonus points for cool (but decipherable) accents, bringing the funny, and well-worn passports. And maybe, just maybe, you could have more books than cats? Nothing against cats, understand.
The one truly essential thing, though, is that she is genuinely capable of loving and being loved in return. Dating can be pretty miserable, but it is a necessary means to a (potentially) wonderful end. Maybe you are as anxious as I to get to the good stuff.
I've traveled extensively in Western Europe and Mexico (and these United States) both for work and for my own pleasure and expansion; currently hankering to see Israel, Argentina, Chile and Vietnam. When I am preparing to visit a new place, my first two thoughts are "Where do they keep their pictures?" and "Where are the best places to eat?"
I love farmers' markets, visit libraries like holy shrines, work in a word-centered field, and love a good conversationalist; let's talk! I'm anxious to hear your story.

Date a man from United States. im a fun caring person I like sports i like to ride my bycicle enjoy dinning out im looking for someone to have fun with share meals and somebody to spend quality time together, take walks at the beach ride bicycles and likes fast convertible sports cars somebody im attracted to

Meet a soulmate from United States. Looking for my soul mate, the one that destiny has been trying in vain to bring together. Or anyone, I'm not picky.
Also needs to have a great sense of humor.
A little about me:
I love animals – currently have two of my own – a cat and a dog.
I think that sometimes a simple drive down some winding road with that someone special is the best way to spend a day.
True love is something that comes from deep within us. It is something that will make you smile for no reason when alone, and give you peace and comfort when going to sleep at night. Just the knowledge that someone loves you fills you with so much happiness and joy, there can be nothing that you cannot overcome or conquer. It’s something that we all long to have and find. Sometimes we get lucky, and have that gift with us until the day we move on from this life to the next. And depending on what you believe, it will even follow us on whatever journey that may follow. True love is real and exists.
Whoever I do find would obviously be my life partner – equal in everything. I would treat her with nothing but honor, respect and love.
I do not think that you can actively go out and try to force any relationship. Anything that may happen, whether as a long-term relationship or even marriage must always begin with friendship. You truly need to be friends with your partner. After that – anything is possible.
For a first date, I would do or go wherever my date wanted. However, the best first date would be simple, and involve a lot of conversation. This is where it would all begin.
So now your turn. Tell me something about yourself, some of your thoughts, dreams and hopes.

Date people from United States. My family is most important to me, so I will start there. I have three amazing kids - my two daughters have graduated from college and are out on their own; my son will be a senior in h.s. this next year, and then off to college. They are my pride and joy!!
I have worked at my current job, in higher education, for over 20 years. I work with students with learning andor psychological disabilities, and I love my work. It is awesome when you get to see them walk across the stage at graduation, with their families cheering for them.
I have been married once for 25 years, unfortunately honesty, trust, and remaining faithful were not values that my spouse held.
Since then I have had one relationship that lasted for four years and ended this past Dec.
I feel that I am well established at this point in my life, and I'm looking forward to enjoying the next phase. I believe that I can provide my partner with the love, support, compassion, romance and fun that a woman needs. I believe in taking care of myself, and I am fairly independent, but look forward to having a love interest with whom I can share the experiences of life (good and not-so-good). I enjoy learning and would like to learn to speak Portuguese and Spanish at some point. I have also been trying to learn how to Salsa Dance, but the youtube videos have not been much help and plus my cat is always trying to lead :) I enjoy tennis, golf, snow skiing, and would be happy to teach you, if you don't participate in these activities already.
I am looking for a woman who believes in herself, and values who she is at this point in her life. She is stable and has figured out her life priorities. She is a person who cares about others as demonstrated by the compassion that she shows to the people in her life. She has an enthusiasm for life, and isn't afraid to try new experiences, and to laugh outloud. Someone that would enjoy a walk in a warm summer rain. Finally, she is comfortable with showing the style, charm and sensuousness of a beautiful woman.
I don't know your name yet, but I hope to hear from you soon!!

Meet single man from United States. Fun, interesting, sexy woman who knows who she is and what she wants. Settled in her career and life and ready for something new to happen! I'm a professional creative person looking to meet someone who I can get to know, spend time with...would like something serious.
Hoping that you are family oriented, grounded yet a dreamer, believer in life and love. I know you are out there!

Date someone special from United States. I am a very fun, warm, optimistic, energetic, honest, social, intelligent & caring person. I have been blessed with many wonderful friends in my life, financially independent & in great health. I was married, divorced & a single dad to two great kids. They are the joy of my life.
I can appreciate the simple things in life, don't sweat the small stuff & I have a great sense of humor. I love to laugh & try to make the best of every situation & experience. I am a great listener & communicator. I am always my true self, open minded & have an optimistic view of life even thru the bumps in the road of life. I also have an open mind to others views and beliefs. These are qualities that I would also like to find in someone. I don't like to play mind games & will always be straight forward.
I love to get dressed up to go out to a nice dinner or have a relaxing dinner at home. I love to cook and spoil people with my cooking. I love to eat & cook all different kinds of foods. I can be spontaneous at times but also love to plan trips & activities. Mixing it up seems to keep the mind young at heart. Simple things like picnics in the park, BBQ's in the backyard to fancy dress up social events.
Places I love to visit: Museums, movies, sporting events, listening to live music, wineries, antiques & looking at really interesting buildings (the architect side of me).
I was a Navy brat growing up so I have lived and traveled all over the world. I also studied abroad in Italy during College. I have a running list of places to visit and explore.
I have a real passion for playing tennis. It helps to relieve the stress from my life and is a great workout. I currently play in two evening leagues,a weekend league and an occassional USTA tournament. All of it is for fun but I do really love to win! I am not neccessarily looking for a tennis partner but if you do play tennis that is great! What I really want is someone who will be a devoted fan who will cheer me on.
I am looking for a woman who shares many of these same qualities in life. Someone who will be loyal, honest, trustworthy and who is capable of making me laugh. Life is too short to not laugh. If you are interested, please email me so we can connect.
I am always open to new ideas, meeting new people and new experiences. The new chapter of my life.

Meet men and women from United States. The other day I was told by a friend I was the most introspective person he had ever met. I thought.........hmm, "was that a compliment, an insult or merely an observation"? I have spent the last 40 years outward focused, supporting others. I've been serious, strong, independent and self-sufficient. I've got those traits down pat. I thought that's what I needed to survive in this world. Only recently have I focused on myself, and I have discovered all this self sufficiency kept me from truly opening my heart to another, being vulnerable, letting love in and accepting goodness. I thought I knew how to love and be thoughtful and playful and generous and kind...but I see now I was only giving about 75%...life is too short to hold back......I am ready to have a healthy, happy, loving relationship with someone who is 100% ready to open her heart and share her love, hopes, dreams, fears, affection, her life without holding back...I am ready to give 100%.
I am honest, direct, attentive, inquisitive, intense, compassionate, sensitive, and understanding. I promise you will know yourself better for having known me. Together we can seek and find positive qualities and characteristics in each other that we may never have known we possessed. We will be free to explore the goodness that abounds in each other and in life.
I am not shy, but I blush easily. My playful, soft side comes out when I feel safe. I love complicated personal conversations and simple pleasures. I am just as happy staying in, renting a movie and cuddling on the couch as I am going out to dinner and a movie. I'd choose quality time over quantity. I promise to be attentive when we are together....but I enjoy my alone time too.
I am ready to share my life with a woman who is thoughtful, affectionate, sensitive, strong, intelligent, self-confident (but not cocky), who has a quick wit (or a sense of humor) and a big heart. A woman who is available to love and be loved by a complicated, generous, passionate, man who does not need her...but who truly wants her in his life.
I recently asked a male friend if I was a handful, he replied, "you are two handfuls". I further inquired, "but am I worth it?' He replied, "you are so worth it?"
Are you ready for a handful?
