Meet someone special from California, United States. My most important accomplishment was learning to be whole and self-aware - not dependent on others for my self-worth, able to step back and observe the arising of emotions within me and discard those that are not appropriate to the moment (those that came from my "baggage"). This growth was forged from incredible emotional intensity (both bliss and crisis) but I am now happier and can be a good parent and relationship partner. What previously brought stress now is amusing and neediness and self-criticism no longer distort my perception of others or their behavior. I am looking for a positive relationship - one without dependence but where each partner adds something to the relationship – where we grow closer over time. Tolerance, acceptance, humor, affection and patient communication seem to me to be the keys to making that work - that's the theory at least, putting it to test will probably always be challenging. That is the heavy stuff. Beyond that I am a bit hard to classify. I can fix most anything and win at autocross, sail or fly, get raves for my cooking without resorting to recipes, find being around children more rewarding than almost any other activity, will write romantic poetry (although I make no claims that it is good), give good hugs and am creative and passionate in bed, laugh at myself or with others, am very physically demonstrative (more so than verbally). I like open or intimate spaces, enjoy music and intend to someday learn to play the fiddle (the sound of which I find wonderfully haunting), tend to watch educational programming or science fiction, am thrilled when I learn something new, generally think outside of the box and go my own way rather than follow the crowd and have absolutely no problem taking my paradigms and heaving them out the window when they don't work. Want someone real?
Date a man from California, United States. I have a well-developed sense of humor with a smile normally on my face. I practice self-deprecating humor, it tends to put people at ease. I have a fairly youthful outlook on life, my glass is normally half-full and I am always on the lookout for ways to fill it a little higher and the person to help me. I am equally at ease playing angry birds with my granddaughter, chasing my grandson around the playground as I am vehemently discussing the best way to manage our business.
I have a strong work ethic, high expectations of myself and others, personal integrity, love for friends and family, love of learning, fiscally prudent and an active mind. I have worked for the same company for 37 years so I would say that I am stable. I enjoy my work but I am actively planning for retirement, the past 12-months have validated my belief in the value of dollar cost averaging. I enjoy finance, business, the stock market and the dynamics of the economy. The psychology of the market is fascinating.
I am blessed with wonderful health thanks to my parents and their genes. I would be in better shape if I exercised consistently but work sometimes intrudes on the routine. I have every intention of living to 100, I think everyone needs a goal and I have set mine.
I am looking for a partner, someone to share the excitement of romance, the joy of exploration, a person that is both a best friend and a lover (boy is that trite but it does not make it any less accurate) and someone to grow old with. My goal is to live to be 100 and I want to be sure I know at least one person my age.
I realize that we are all busy but my partner needs to be available, both emotionally and physically. I like the contradictions of spontaneity and ploddingly irritating planning (a product of my work) in my relationships. I enjoy the surprise of unexpectedly picking you up in a convertible for a drive down/up the coast to dine alfresco on the water as well as spending hours poring over travel material in Barnes & Noble in preparation for our trip to the Greek Isles and Italy. We'll need to visit the Ferrari factory while in Italy.
I would enjoy sharing with you the warmth of a physical relationship, comfort of walking hand-hand, the silliness of doing something entirely age inappropriate (I realize how old we choose to act is truly a personal choice), the ease of conversation and the excitement and anticipation we create in each other.
Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I like music, films, and spontaneity
I enjoy my own cooking, bicycling, getting into trouble, working and traveling (emphasis on traveling).
My two kids come and go, mostly go.
They can cause trouble, too.
Date single man from United States. I’m here looking for what we all are—that special person in our life who will not only be our partner, but also our best friend. I want to find someone I share common core values and interests with, then if all the elements are there—our friendship will grow into something beautiful and long term.
Here’s a little peek into my world. I’ve worked in the movie industry for many years, but they’re still one of my biggest passions. I live a healthy lifestyle, eat well and workout often. Ideally, I’d like to meet a partner who also takes care of herself, so we can live a long, happy life together. As a match, I’d describe myself as someone who is honest, adventurous, and know the importance of communication and compromise in a relationship. Now, I’m seeking someone who desires the same.
Initially, I’m attracted to a woman with a healthy glow and toned physique—someone you can tell takes care of herself physically and emotionally. However, we all know that if there’s nothing below the surface there can never be a real connection and I want to be able to connect with my match on all levels. The woman for me is someone who is honest, full of integrity, has strong moral values, is giving, warm, passionate, romantic, and someone who can make me laugh without even trying.If you think we may hit it off, I’d like to get to know you a bit more.
Send me an email and let’s see where it goes from there!
Meet someone special from United States. I enjoy spending time on the trail and with someone that enjoys the same. Riding, talking when on horse back is one of the best ways to get to know someone. I have made some really good friends on the trail and have learned alot.
There is nothing like watching the sun come up over the high sierras with someone that enjoys the same thing.
Date a man from United States. When I am in a relationship I am devoted and will always be supportive. I will promote the positive yet, be realistic.
I like to stay busy all the time. I like camping, hiking bicycling, travel. I have a very strong work ethic and I work alot. I like dumb jokes and I like to joke around s I am always in a good mood. Not many things will upset me. I do not have a temper and I strongly believe in talking it over.
My social life seems to be at a standstill, I work way too much since, I do not have anyone to come home to. When that changes, I will then concentrate on the relationship and our life together.
I love my 3 kids, they are grown and I always long for them.
I would like share my life with someone.
Meet a soulmate from United States. A little about me...
I've been very fortunate to have seen and done many things in my life. I've experienced the good and the bad, the ups and the downs.
I realize that I do enjoy morning coffee and evening sunsets more if I am with someone special that I care about. As time goes by I see where life is more meaningful when spent with someone I care for. I feel I have a lot to offer to someone and want to love and be loved again. By this time in our lives, we are who we are. I am not out to change anyone nor do I want someone to try and change me. Acceptance and seeing people for who they are and what they have to give is important to me. It all starts by getting to know you.
Widowed in 2010, working on finding my way in my new life. Love the coast mountains, people watching, a good glass of wine, cooking, working in the garden, reading, my dogs. I'm ready to relax have some fun. Are you up to it?
About the one I'm looking for...
Looking for a friend to share my life with. Self sufficient, likes being appreciated but doesn't need someone else to validate them.
I'd just like to add...
I enjoy day trips in Nothern California from the ocean to the mountains. Adventures in dining. I especially like to explore all sorts of different cuisines. FYI, I don't respond to people who don't post a picture.
. I am semi-retired now and moving on to doing more "fun stuff". I have traveled some to South America and I like the culture and customs of the latino people, and ready to do some more there and other places. My daughter once told me Americans (that would be citizens of the USA) are arrogant. She has done a lot ot traveling and seen many places. When she said that I laughed, but when I visited Costa Rica, Chile, and Argentina I realized she was right, at least ithe way I USED to think. Many people in those countries do not have much but they are happy. The families are very strong. Compare this to the USA where we may complain when the price of gas goes up a few cents. It was quite a reality check for me....
Had good luck quitting smoking for longggg periods (9 years once) and tossed them again today, although I won't change my profile until I know I'm done.
I am not looking real hard for someone and I figure if it's meant to be it'll happen. As do most people I had some baggage but filed it away as it doesn't help anything dwelling on the past, and hopefully we all learn from it. I learned a lot but some of it too late, but life goes on. The woman I meet will have the side of me that has always been below the surface. Like many men (I think) the show of love and affection is not easy. Too bad "we" think that way because most women want the cuddling, love and affection. I am ready to give it to the woman who lights my fire.
I am hoping to meet someone around my age, maybe for lunch or dinner, or just coffee or tea, and see where it goes from there. Sometimes things click, sometimes not...
Thanks for reading...
. I am an easy going professional who is highly intelligent, artistic, articulate that enjoys expanding my life experiences who is looking for a caring woman who can be a best friend, who enjoys dynamic conversation, adventures in the city and hopefully lifetime companionship.
. I know the secret of life. But I can’t tell you. It’s a secret....
Well, at least part of it is laugh...just laugh. I'm a positive person who tries to find the best of most situations. Like most people, I’ve had tragedy and tumult in my life and those things have made me the person I am today...happy (most of the time), content (but not complacent) and "comfortable in my own skin". I accept people as they are, and ask only the same consideration. I think most folks are just trying to do the best they can every day, and, since nobody is perfect, I don’t let anyone else’s “bad day” change mine. Those are the qualities I look for in a companion.
Raised in a different time, I was taught to be a gentleman, and I still adhere to that philosophy. I open doors for ladies, walk on the street side of the sidewalk and say please and thank you. I love holding hands, but I’m not inclined to public displays of “affection” (does that make sense?). Of course, there's a lot more to me than can be described here.
Twice retired, I’ve pretty much discovered I’m not very good at it and have recently embarked on another “career” in a management position. I spent most of my working life in "service industries", first in Law Enforcement and then in Private Security Management, mostly in the Healthcare industry. I'm also a licensed Private Investigator, and had initially planned to work at that part-time, but found that not very satisfying. Having spent most of my life helping to resolve others problems, I'm happy to help, but I avoid people who have a need for constant "drama" in their lives and strive for peace and serenity in my own.
In my spare time, if I'm not on the golf course, most of my days are filled with caring for my pets and my house and spending time with my friends and family...family is very important to me. I enjoy reading and crossword puzzles...I love Scrabble, but it's not much fun playing "solitaire scrabble", walking my dog, swimming, light workouts, and, of course, golf. I don't drink, but I think it's great if others do. I cannot resist cigars when I'm playing golf (truthfully, I don't try to resist), but I am considerate of others.
Back to the "laugh" part of that "secret": I'm a bit of a joker and I love to laugh and share laughter. I'd love to meet someone who feels the same and “share the secret”.
. Putting out my radar to see if there is someone out there for someone a little wounded but healing. No real plans for now just testing the waters an if are too, great.
Maybe we knew each other in an earlier pr of our lives and it is time to connect.
