Date people from California, United States. Stardate: 30920. Captain's Log.
I have been exploring the surface of planet Match for a few weeks now. Most of the inhabitants work out 8-10 times a week, live to travel the globe( "loved the Seychelles"), surf, spelunk, lead productive and satisfying lives, yet wouldn’t mind meeting a certain witty, attractive, kind, sensitive and self-confident individual to exchange conversation, romantic fun, and a crazy little thing they call love. Many claim to enjoy going to sporting events! (My mind must be playing tricks on me in the thin atmosphere.) One can search in vain for a self-respecting couch potato(Is there a Spud.com?) and get lost in the myriad sincere, creative, funny and soulful descriptions; luminous lures waiting for a strike. Sifting through the profiles, it is sometimes disconcerting to suddenly encounter misspeelled words, blurry pictures, pictures of nature, horses, dogs and cats. Love me, love Fluffy?
Most of the identified baggage would fit neatly into an overhead compartment.
Email exchanges can be quick, deep, informational, funny and ephemeral, lighting on and off like fireflies in the quest for the “one.” Endings can be abrupt. This is a mission after all. There is much excitement(often followed by disappointment) to see who winked, was interested or emailed. Checking the inbox can be as addictive as crack. Is there a Matchaholics Anonymous yet? I hereby promise not to look at my inbox for one day. Oh damn. It’s only been an hour. The inbox is evil. Get a grip. One minute at a time.
I know there is more to explore but in case I get pulled in too deeply, be prepared to beam me up at a moment’s notice.

Uhura: "Spock, we have received a garbled transmission from the Captain. Apparently, coming from an eating establishment on the surface."
Spock: "Transmit"
“zzzz….she went to the bathroom…I only have a minute to get this message out. She was talking about her rescue puppies, love of hot Bikram and horses... the wine had caused me to turn off my phaser and was being pulled in by her tractor beam eyes.. physical contact was imminent...zzz.. suddenly she wondered aloud if we were ever going to get socialist Kenyan out of the White House…zz ..Spock,I know it isn’t logical but I had been so mesmerized by her.. zzz……, I had forgotten to check her political proclivities before agreeing to dinner and movie…. Time.. has.. warped… to.. a.. slow.. crawl. Should I feign a sudden bout of food poisoning or pretend like I am a big fan of Palins reality show? …Going with food poisoning. Captain out.
Spock: "Beam him up immediately." Sulu: "We can’t get his coordinates." To be continued…

Meet someone special from Moraga, United States. I will get right to the point as to not waste your time. I am disabled and in a wheelchair and have lived a full life up to now but does not stop me! I am looking for a very supportive/honest/opensharingbest friend with a sense of humor and style and is interested in sharing/learning about cooking, california natural history, Yosemite, photography, travel, etc., I have appeared on TV Channels 2,4,5 (evening magazine), 7, 36 and on the radio side- KYA,KFRC, KCBS News talk radio, KPFA, and NPR forum radio (subject-wilderness politics) to name a few. I have been a contributor to different books in the outdoor industry ( complete walker- Colin Fletcher,Walking softly in the wilderness by John Hart, to name a few). I have also worked as a professional mountain guide and some search and rescue, led 14 winter trips on Mt. Shasta and years of backpacking trips in the Sierra's. Did public speaking for 25 years and slide shows as well. I worked for REI in Berkeley for 31 years and created their master technician program ( company wide) and managed 41 people for 25 years! Thats the tip of the iceberg how about you?
Date a soulmate from Moraga, United States. I'm affectionate and kind and I look for humor in life at any opportunity (too many one friend would say). I'm happy with my life; I've been very lucky. I own my own business so my time is my own. I really enjoy what I do.
I'm looking for a woman who is happy and content with herself and her life, and would like to meet me for coffee or a walk or both.
Meet people from Moraga, United States. My friends tell me that I am very outgoing, warm, and loving. My desired partner should be someone who loves the concept of home and marriage. A clean sense of humor is essential, as well as a love of music. As a Christian Scientist, I have a love for God and spirituality. I would hope that my partner would also share in a love and trust in God. I have no living relatives, so a "family" could be just the two of us, or whoever comes along with my partner. I'm also looking for a best friend to share my life with. I've been a college instructor, a radio broadcaster, and have owned my own media music firm for 33 years.
Date men and women from Moraga, United States. An adventurer who loves to share life experiences! Looking for someone who is confident yet caring and will to share and compromise. I enjoy listening and responding when asked. Would value a sexually adventurous partner.
Meet a man from Moraga, United States. Besides being really tall, most people are startled by my very unique and melodic voice. Someone once said I sound like a white Barry White. Most folks think I look 10 years younger. I’m confident with a dash of shyness at first, then very friendly, outgoing and always caring of others. My closest friends say I’m a great guy. Heck who am I to argue.
.
When I’m around friends, we enjoy lengthy conversations about what really matters. Most times I just listen. Money or possessions are never the focus. Since I don’t play games, my best friends can read me like a book.
.
The outdoors, health and fitness are important to me. I go to the gym and/or play tennis almost every day. When I’m not working out, I love to invent (3 patents) and build stuff; anything; whether it’s made out of wood or metal. Or I help my son build something that he hopes will go boom. We both enjoy watching MythBusters… go figure. I love to walk and talk; either at the local Lafayette reservoir or even the incredibly beautiful Steep Ravine above Stinson Beach.
.
Music is a major part of my relax time. I enjoy all forms of music, including classical, smooth jazz, pop and R&B. I’ve even started taking piano lessons (again).
.
Who I am looking for? You’re an attractive and confident woman considered taller than most and younger and more energetic than your real age would suggest. Perhaps a little shy at first but you can get into a conversation easily feeling comfortable around nice folks. You focus on the positive while remembering the negative. Your laugh makes me laugh. We do things we both enjoy while helping the other with something new and exciting. You enjoy a variety of good foods and a little wine to enhance the moment. When we hug, there is no me and you, but just one never ending radiating heat. And as we separate I see the beautiful eyes of a woman I can call my best friend and trusted confidant.
.
Your children are hopefully at least in high school. You’re financially stable and live near the Berkeley, Lamorinda & Walnut Creek-ish area so that both planned and last minute gatherings are uncomplicated by traffic/distance and enhanced by places we both have frequented and enjoyed in the past. It will also make any goofs (i.e. by sudden parental responsibilities) less of a problem. Sure there is that “heat” that may become immediately evident, but living nearby will allow our relationship and trust to grow together.
.
If you’re married (Really?), looking for a check book or way outside my area please forgive me for saying no thank you.
.
I’m always willing to continue to learn and you are too. I’ve played local competitive tennis all my life, but now it’s just for fun, charity events and giggles. If you play at any level, great! If not, no worries. But I hope you’d be willing to learn. And that goes for me too…. with one tweak… if you already ski the West Face or the Gun Barrel, I hope you’ll allow me to take the Saddle or other trail and meet you at the bottom. Besides, it’s the end of a great day of skiing in front of a warm fire and a glass of wine that’s really the best part.
.
Politically you can be left or right, but believing that there are two sides to the coin will make our “debates” much more fun.
.
Our life together would be full and exciting while taking care of our families. We would travel to a quiet romantic beach or other exotic places like The Southern Ocean Lodge in Australia. That place is definitely now on my “list”.
.
I’m not a real believer in this filling out “who I am” forms. So you and I may have different values and/or interests, but when we look into each others eyes and exchange some thoughts, we might just feel that magic.
