Date men and women from United States / California / Mission Hills - page 3

Date a man from Mission Hills, United States. A modern day whiteknight, a throwback to the age of shivery. I am romantic at heart and true blue.
I am handsome, sophistatcated, well educated and
down to earth. A true gentleman.
My ideal match can be a queen or princess, a frog or even a zoo keeper. As long as the lady is down to earth, kind and comforting, caring and thoughtful, who is also looking for fun and excitement. If it turns out to be more than that (relationship), so be it.

Meet men and women from Mission Hills, United States. Well, I might fall into that stereotype, middle age KCRW (national public radio) listener and liberal voter. Like all the arts, great directors, writers, blah, blah blah. I like it when I'm in the company of friends who appreciate my sense of humor. I tend to like those who don't take themselves too serious. I'm drawn to women who are funny, smart and kind. It doesn't hurt if you are comfortable with your sexuality. I respond to biological triggers like any other red-blooded American male. It is extremely hard to find hip, aware women at my age who are still interested in experiencing something new. If you're interested in learning more about me, I post regularly online at Huffington Post, as "redpod". If you fan & friend me, you will be able to read everything I've posted there. Be forwarned, it's mostly political comment.
I am not the kind of person to walk up to someone and assume they want to talk to me. If we met in person, I would need some kind of sign, to allow me to approach. That's why this online dating thing can seem so daunting. I believe if I can feel some kind of connection over the phone, we're halfway home. If we've managed to get through a couple of phone conversations, and neither one of us can recall laugh out loud moments, then we're probably not right for each other.
(I've re-thought this a bit. It really does take time to take in the entire makeup of what makes an individual unique. This does not always come through in few phone calls. Trying to be funny without fully knowing the other person, and without the perspective of seeing that person face to face, can seem forced and unnatural. However, you can get some inkling of their character and nature, so phone calls are still essential.)
I really am serious about making a connection here. Our time here on this planet is limited, our healthy time, even more so. What can be better than sharing great times together? On the other hand, being with someone that doesn't get you, or seems to struggle just to stay happy, can be a major drag on your psyche. The important thing is, I'm open to it.

Date a man from Mission Hills, United States. So, here am I seeking a companion, a friend, a lover who perhaps finds my balance, balanced. Senses my passion and has the wit to feel the humor and laugh. I ask her to grant me a dance and her consent is assertive and fluid. We approach one another as strong separate entities and flow together such that an observer would know not which is the lead nor which is the follow. Our rhythms blend as we sense some pleasure, some pain, some path to a balance of ...a personal nature.
The union of dance has become a conveyance to the road of possibilities. We find ourselves in the moment of power and glide. Of ascending and descending. The hills are high and require an energy we both possess. The pushing and pulling of the pedals provides us a process to place our passions and sensitivities upon the two lane path to the higher pass. The way is challenging and cheery. We smile, serenely steeped in the peace of physical purity. We reach the crest fatigued but not flattened. We wait not but slide eagerly into our tucks, taking turns in the slipstream of each moment. Our sensitive natures are tethered to our passion for cycling and though we are upon separate frames we find it fitting, fast and funny. Despite the speed and the sound of the wind I hear her sweet laughter above my own and hold the moment in my heart hoping to extend it beyond it's duration. I let it go and feel the balance of it's existence. She is she and I am I. A her and a him. The moment is we. Could we be?
Taking a break from Match. Exploring other oceans. See you there.

Meet a man from Mission Hills, United States. I'm very affectionate and loving, so would like to find the same in a warm, caring woman. Also value honesty and sincerity....ultimately would like to get married again.....when we both know "this is it". I have a warm, cozy home (with a fireplace) that's ready to share with the right person. I tend to be a bit more on the quiet side....have three older children that are already out on their own....so I have time to share....plenty of time for that special someone.
*** Since I'm more on the reserved & quiet side, I'm not much into very physical activities, sports, etc. (I'm more interested in going to movies, out for dinner, etc.) So if you're looking for someone to join you in very physical activities (i.e. boating, skiing, snowboarding, motorcycling, etc.), then you probably should look for someone else. Actually I'm not even into sports at all...(but here's one advantage : no vegging out on the couch all weekend watching sports on the tube) (!!)
*** Also - I'd prefer not to inherit any pets....I know they're very important and part of the family for some people, but my life is very simple & unencumbered right now, so I'd rather not take in any pets (this is, of course, assuming that my match/mate will move in with me and be sharing MY house).
With all that said, I have a lot to offer for the right woman looking for these things....very loving, caring, sincere & honest.....a one-woman man.....and very affectionate. We should both be ready, and be looking for that special someone, to share (when it's time).... those three little special words with. :-)

Date a soulmate from Mission Hills, United States. I would do almost anything for a friend. Love to laugh, and I'm told I have a great one at that. Looking for women who are interested in having a good time and someone who is not looking for a real serious relationship.

Meet a soulmate from Mission Hills, United States. I prefer to get to know someone on the phone or on a real date. Sending emails or chatting back and forth takes too much time and you don't really get to know someone until you start speaking to them. I'm looking for my match to form a superb LTR more.
I've been involved in the music biz almost all of my life. I'm from LA and love my work.
I will listen and care about what you say. I don't throw away the ones I love. I will make you laugh.
What will draw me to you is who you really are. Who you are is what will make me fall in love with you.

Date people from California, United States. I know you are wondering why I haven't posted my photograph. The answer is easy. I have never participated in this kind of dating experience. I have been told I am average looking. Okay, enough said you scoundrels, but you have to admit I am very likeable. I also admit that I am not perfect and can always improve myself.
I am thoughtful, meditative and respectful of others. I balance my life with work, exercise and leisure time. I am not a couch hound and stay very active. I like to play Kung Fu and assist teaching children and adults two nights per week. I also go to the gym frequently. I like to have a good time in various venues such as restaurants, nightclubs and concerts. It is pretty easy to get me on the dance floor. However, don't expect me to watch "Dancing With the Stars", on television. I retired early from my prior career and parlayed my experience in starting my own business from my home which provides me freedom and a sense of purpose in meeting the needs of my clients. I enjoy companionship very much and really embrace a woman with a sense of humor. However, I also need space to be alone and appreciate the sound of silence on occasion. I believe that everyone needs a purpose in life. There are no free lunches and every person is expected to contribute in some way in improving society. The only thing holding a person back from obtaining their goals is their own lack of commitment. I enjoy the beach and short trips less than five hours by car or air travel. During my life, I have traveled throughout the Pacific and China. I have also traveled to England. I really enjoy the sun and would rather hang out in Hawaii. I visit there frequently and lived on Oahu for 3 years. I was happily married for 37 years until my wife passed. Okay, there were a few rough spots. She left me with a pink house and rose carpet. I had to change the colors. I am looking for someone who is financially stable, physically fit, attractive and enjoys life. You must be trustworthy.
If Interested, I will respond to your email with a photo. I would also expect you to do the same.

Meet someone special from California, United States. My biggest accomplishment is having 6 grownup children that are well adjusted and sucessful. My friends would say that I don't sweat the small stuff and don't take the ups and down to hard one way or another. More even keel.

Date men and women from California, United States. I like to walk down the street and have my honey next to me. I feel the spark that brings us closer as I reach up for a wet kiss to make my hairs on the back of my neck stand up. My knees become weak and my eyes are looking into hers.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I'm described by friends as easy-going, ethical, honest, friendly, understanding/good listener, honorable, down-to-earth, trustworthy, reliable, fun-loving, loyal, sincere, considerate, perseverant, communicative/literate, open-minded. I'm an animal/music/beach/mountain/barbecue lover, disdain inter-personal games/drama, not a "player"/very selective, prefer casual/business casual to suit and tie/tuxes, but do enjoy the arts/museums/performances. Do-it-yourselfer, handy with tools/computers, like to cook and have collected some good recipes. Believe quality relationships are built on friendship, respect and honest/open communications. Prefer healthy living/lean diet, moderate exercise...
I'm mostly attracted to ladies who have arrived at a similar conclusion that divorced/single life is good but not the same quality as a committed relationship with sharing... She will be an honest, down-to-earth, ethical, understanding open-minded person, as I try to be.
I'm looking for a friend/partner who values respect, intelligence, honesty, humor, loyalty, a good heart, open communication, someone you love waking up with each morning and going to bed with each night and who likes/loves animals. I also want to have that special chemistry with someone, which is like trying to find a small needle in a large haystack.
I'm interested in meeting someone reasonably local to become acquainted, catch a local movie/dinner sometimes on short notice, and really get to know her...
Might this person be you? If so, drop me a line...

Date someone special from United States. I am fun, adventurous and active. There will seldom be a dull moment. I love the beach. My ideal date is both cute and witty. She may even be a little sarcastic. She prefers doing things together, as opposed to alone. But she cares about others, especially those less well off. She is a great conversationalist. When we go to dinner, we lose track of time because we're too into each other talking (and listening). Nothing is forced. It's all effortless. She likes the sunset and the ocean and to spend the day just hanging out at the beach.

Meet a soulmate from United States. What I can add is , generally, not vastly different .. than what most people have said.
After an unabashedly enjoyable bachelor life, I was pleasantly surprised by how much joy ..having kids brought to me. Now that they are grown, I feel that those were the best years of my life. Admittedly, things now seem anticlimatical. So, I am open to see what new paths are ahead.
