Date single man from California, United States. I am a kind and considerate man who wants to meet a woman that appreciates what a good man is all about. Baggage is allowed. What happened in the past, happened in the past. Let's move forward. We have to be friends first and then see where it goes.
Meet a man from California, United States. I like people and finding out all about them, their background, their history, their likes and dislikes. Some of my favorite books are biographies and autobiographies/memoirs. I also like music and art. I used to play the drums. One of my biggest joys in life is to attend a good live Jazz performance.
My ideal match is a warm, friendly woman who also likes people, and hopefully also likes music and art. The photographs of me (the ones with a person in them) were taken in August, September, and December, 2010. The photograph of scenery only (Cambria/Morro Bay area) was taken in September 2007.
Date someone special from California, United States. You may remember that line from "Moonstruck" That is what I feel like saying when I read most of these profiles.
I consider myself a practical romantic with a casual approach, and serious about a few things. My friends tell me my humor is light, wry, and witty, with an ironic perception about it, at my best when I don't think about it. I have a few close friends, and have a nice balance of music friends and associates.
I am a musician and newly retired teacher(30 yrs math/technology). I feel I would have more in common with someone who is involved/interested in the arts, be it musical, artistic, design. I generally am energetic and keep busy, and am looking for someone who is flexible, still her own person, yet more than willing to do what needs to be done to have a great relationship. I am from humble roots, have endured some hard knocks, and try to find ways to "improve with age." Though I have my romantic side, I am common sense about many things, and like to keep my life in balance.
Most of my public school teaching has been helping low income new immigrants find their way and graduate from high school and continue to college or work...I have seen heartwarming and heartbreaking life stories unfold, and have helped many on their way. My singing has taken me to Europe, New York, and all different parts of the US.
Three words are important to me: chemistry, compatibility, and integrity, in that order. With those three elements, a good relationship can be built, with time and care. We would bring out the best in each other. Of course we must have some major areas of compatibility, but also a lot of wiggle room. A healthy dose of self reflection always helps a relationship.
I am a cat person, nix on dogs.
I believe in being true to oneself, which makes it easier to be truthful with others.......and....laughter is a great tonic for what ails you.
I wish everyone the best in their search, as I hope you do for me.....Hope to hear from you!
Meet a soulmate from California, United States. Scuba diver, ceramic potter, gardening, I enjoy doing my own home upgrades, hiking, being outdoors, I want to do another sky dive, and am now back into music. I enjoying life, I’ve got a great view of the city (I live on a hill). I take good care of myself (gym 2-3 times per week), and my home. I love my pets-dogs (2) and or two cats, depending on how you count. I have lived in Los Angeles all of my life, except for 1 yr in Hawaii, 1 yr in Colorado, 2 yrs in Vegas. I enjoy a daily beer or two after work, I do not attend church, but I do give daily thanks for my life and all my blessings. I am an independent person that keeps busy a lot, and enjoys vegging on Sat/Sun, but have no problem jumping into my car and going to Santa Barbara, San Diego or Big Bear, at the drop of a hat. I tend to steer clear of hot areas like Palm Springs,...etc, Vegas being an exception, but haven't been there in 8 yrs. Love movies, foreign or domestic, but domestic films are pretty predictable. Museums, music and art exhibits are another love. I live in 3 miles east of downtown Los Angeles (by CSULA), and I appreciate adherence to a 25 mile date radius. Persons out of state or in another country, please don’t bother wasting my time or yours, unless you are willing to fly over my house and parachute out, I will pick you up at the designated DZ (drop zone). I do work in WLA, which affords some flexibility.
Date single man from Los Angeles, United States. About me: I'm loyal, honest to a fault and friends would describe me as a good friend - someone they can count on. I'm naturally curious about everything and lead a very full and active life. I cook (have written two cookbooks), like theatre, am enthusiastic about all sorts of music - rock, country and blues - and have over 800 CDs that I swap out daily. I love live music at the Greek and the Bowl (Buddy Guy's a huge favorite), as well as movies and sports. I go to new restaurants and old favorites, love Chinese Food, sushi as well as Umami Burgers. I've been playing golf since I was a kid and still hit the gym at least four times a week. I'm respected in my career and people in the industry look to me as the "go to" guy to get things done. I wear a suit and tie during the day but like to kick back in jeans at night and on the weekends. I'm a transplanted New Yorker having moved to L.A. almost 20 years ago not knowing a single person and am happy to say that now I've got the best friends in the world. What's more, I feel like I'm supposed to be here. You can do anything you want in L.A. and I thrive on the outdoor lifestyle.
What do I look for in a relationship? It's a friend first - that's key and then, someone to be my other half - someone to balance me out - someone who will enjoy doing the things I like to do but show me new ones and make me laugh the same way in which I make her laugh. Someone who likes to plan but someone who can be spontaneous as well. It's hard to verbalize but I'm sure we'll know each other when we meet. My ideal date? Dinner at a quiet out-of-the way restaurant, talking, laughing and learning about each other.
Meet a man from Los Angeles, United States. I am seeking a unique and spectacular woman. Integrity and values are extremely important to me. My reputation for being fair, honest and compassionate defines who I am. I am a passionate guy and my passions are deep rooted in an intellectual curiosity that can never be quenched. Others have described me "one of the few nice guys left" and "a true gentleman" but I maintain that I just treat others the way I expect to be treated. I am unique and I know whowhat I am. I know what I want out of life and believe it's important to never settle but it's important to also be realistic. My interests are pretty diverse from exploring NYC architecture to swimming, billiards, exploring antique shops, and swing dancing (which I haven't done in ages). I enjoy a lazy Sunday morning, lying around doing absolutely nothing and reading the NY Times or exploring open houses. I am Honest, Passionate, and Intelligent.
Date someone special from Los Angeles, United States. I look and feel 10 years younger than my actual age. I can make you laugh. I make great pumpkin bread. There is no bs with me. You will always know where I am coming from and why (usually it is from work). I know how to make a woman happy. I want an attractive woman who is not too full of herself and not too uptight to take a real risk (like, for example, eating an unfamiliar food). Someone who laughs a lot, cries sometimes, as I do, and who has a big, but preferably not enlarged, heart (that was a medical joke). If I find you, I will love you to within an inch of your life. So be ready.

Date someone special from United States. Second generation Southern Californian having lived in Beach communities all my life. I very much enjoy being on the ocean and find it to be very relaxing. Love the atmosphere of college football and look forward to each season with great anticipation. There is nothing better than SC-UCLA or Notre Dame-SC. Also a long time suffering baseball fan as it has been over 20 years since LA won a World Series.
I've played many of the best golf courses in SoCal and enjoy the game's challenge. It would be nice to find someone that enjoys the sport as well, but not a requirement. The atmosphere at the Hollywood Bowl before the show is one of the best venues Los Angeles has to offer and the program doesn't really matter. Having dinner in box seat with good friends and glass of wine, it doesn't get any better. grussell at charles dunn is how to reach me.
