Date men and women from United States / California / Novato, 51 year old

Date men and women from California, United States. I have to say with honesty that the best job I ever had was to be the father of my three children, I couldn't have been able to get where I am now without them. Today I'm almost at the end of this stage of my life and I'm going to try to get a friend, a partner, an associate, a fiance, a wife, in order to share so much experience accumulated through life and together been able to enjoy the many adventures and positive situations that are out there.
On the personal side I'm very easy going with good temper and like to laugh a lot, I have learned that the simple things in life fill my inner soul in ways I honestly can't described. I like to see sports yeah but important games or when the season gets to playoffs, of course that if I have something to do with you absolutely will come first.
I prefer a lady close to my age bracket, mature, stable, smart, entrepreneur, easy going I like to have smart conversations and debate and analyze them, I don't like to argue at all, life is too short and beautiful to sweat for the small stuff.
Finally I want to say that I'm open minded and joined this website with the seriousness the occasion require it, I'm not here to play games with you girls nor I want to be played.
Good luck to all of you and I wish that very soon you can find what you are looking for, remember mens and women were created to complement each other.
Ps: currently and temporarily I'm living in Bay Point to let my son graduate this year from HS, but next year I'll be moving to Marin County in order to be close to my job and be able to get home earlier.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Ok, so I would be a bit awkward at first. I always was a bit on the shy side but I warm up easily and I'm quick witted. I love to get someone to laugh or just open up. I'm real easy to understand, I have a big heart and really love to share time with someone special.
I always been an adventurous guy. In my younger years I would leave on a dime across the world with no plans made and always had the best of times. I moved to Hawaii just to learn to windsurf and ended up living on Maui, sailing everyday or golfing if the wind wasn't blowing. I'm not as free as those days now, but I still travel when I can. My plan is to introduce my 8 year old daughter to the world and all the cool places in the US. I would enjoy someone that has the same outlook on life. Work hard, play hard. Are you someone that can travel to anyplace in the world and just enjoy the culture if you weren't staying in a 5 star hotel? Don't get me wrong, I do like to be pampered, but I also like to dig deep. I could just sit in a cafe and drink a cup of coffee and rap with the locals for hours.
I have my religious beliefs. I am Christian, and would like someone that has the same type of values. I may not go to church every Sunday, but I do enjoy it when I do attend.
I'm looking for someone to be a great friend and partner. It's something I have missed for way too many years. I love to start the day with someone and end it with the same one, sharing the day and looking forward to tomorrow. Maybe you would like to do the same?

Date people from California, United States. You and I may have much in common if:
Smiling comes easily and often for you
You enjoy laughter in heaping helpings
You love to give and receive flowers
You love to give and receive love letters
Some of your best days have been unscripted
You enjoy being outdoors
You are moved by the beauty of nature
You learn from your mistakes
You have faith that you will fall in love forever
Some of my background and perhaps a bit deeper dive than the norm:
If the closest I ever get to winning the lottery was growing up in rural West Marin, I'll take it. Life in a small agricultural town emphasized values such as family, friendship, honesty, hard work, and taking delight in life's simple pleasures. My best friend from high school, who owns a 4th generation organic dairy nestled along the Pacific, remains my best friend. Growing up in such a splendid natural setting also gave me a deep appreciation for being active, being outdoors, and finding spirituality in being close to nature. Although I now live in the suburbs and love to get to the City often, West Marin still feels like home to me. Bury me there.
"Selfishly Giving Back". I wish I could say that I give of my time and money to worthwhile causes with the same selfless spirit that Mother Teresa did. I give back simply because I derive great pleasure in doing so. I have been a Rotarian for over 20 years, am a Big Brother to Jeremy who is now age 18, and serve on the Board of The San Francisco Food Bank. My experience with the Food Bank has brought about a profound change in me as it has substantially heightened my level of gratitude. I find now that most meals I eat are accompanied by a wave of thankfulness for the privlege of eating as I am now keenly aware that there are so many people, here and abroad who do not have such a luxury. I seldom take for granted many things in my life that I once often took for granted.
I am at my core, an athlete. From Little League through college, I was constantly involved in competetive sports. In my life, I much more often draw from the lessons I learned in sports than from what I learned in a class room. Attributes such as team work, preparation, persistency, resiliency, and working toward a common goal. My college football coach was a world class teacher and he concentrated most on building character. Along the way, his teams won three national championships. My teammates and I hold a special reverance for him. Today, I still enjoy working out regularly and typically enter one triathlon a year to help enhance the focus of my workouts. I would never have imagined that I would try and like yoga this year and now I am hooked. It's a wonder drug. I am however now the target of hazing from my football buddies.
(Intermission)
I am a recovering alcoholic. This year marks 10 years of sobriety for me. I realize that I risk you reading this and reading no further. I share this fact in the spirit of openness and honesty. In my day, I did not drink often, but when I did....hmmm....let's just say that my stories would make for an interesting book. Maybe a movie. The past decade has brought me a wonderful journey to a heightened level of self-awareness and self-understanding. I am comfortable being around people who are drinking. I am comfortable being in a relationship with a woman who drinks in moderation. If going wine tasting every weekend is high on your list of things to do, I am likely not the match for you. If going wine tasting occasionally is, then I am in and can play a mean game of designated driver.
I love the life I have led thus far and wouldn't change a thing (I might delete disco music). I want my eulogy to end with, "and most of all, he was a great husband and a terrific father." I have a vision of falling happily in love forever more, of marital bliss (98.8% of the time), and of a warm and loving family. This is my favorite vision of all :)

Meet single man from California, United States. I had it and lost it. That was my fault. Now I want to find my way back with the benefit of what I learned. Just a nice guy looking for friendship and sizzle. Hanging out together, hanging out with friends, and once in a while putting a little sizzle on the grill. Mean girls need not apply.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm pretty low key and into a slow, easy, sensative lifestyle combining laughter and fun. Nature suits me best, especially in the warm weather months. Can't have too many animals around and small children to remind us of our true nature. I follow a mostly vegan diet.

Meet a man from California, United States. No expectations, just checking it out to see what I'm missing and what you're missing. If you live in Novato then you know where I'm coming from. Looking for fun, adventure & excitement.
It's got a good beat and easy to dance to!!

Date men and women from Novato, United States. Straight out...I'm looking for honesty, loyalty, a best friend that knows how to communicate. Love languages tells me I'm mostly touch...but don't let yourself drift from the definitions in the book. I like working together through situations and always value a difference of opinion. As a friend or partner I am loyal and always concerned with your perspective and feelings.
I'm not sure about this process... .it seems so mechanical....
I would love a chance to get to know you better without the need to be anything but real. Lets text or chat . You'll find that I'm honest, a great friend, clean, safe, and willing to converse about almost anything. I'm not into exploitation and look for someone that is grounded and wants a down to earth friend ... then who knows. ....
I'm 54........ But seem easily many years younger....so, I'm told.
I love the water and sun, city lights from sausalito, camping, boating, jet skiing, snow skiing, water skiing, warm beaches, Christmas, Nw England, California, a good meal, cuddling . . . but to name a few.
In the foreseeable future, I want to get back on the bay sailing my own boat. Yes, I love sailing too!
That's a quick snapshot and I would love a chance to text or meet and share time together over a beverage where we can talk more.

Meet someone special from Novato, United States. Open for a new start......
Looking to create a new social circle, so I'm here. My job consumes much of my time, but does allow me some freedom to travel, enjoy some great NorCal venues and I'm looking for an individual to explore those areas as well. Whether it be The City, Napa Valley or the Mendocino Coast our times could be fun.
I currently work for a Mid-Size California Brewery and Manage a Sales Team in NorCal. Even though Craft Beer is my passion, I do enjoy great food, fine wine and fun activities.
I have two fantastic kids and share time with them on a weekly basis.
Well enough about me for now.....I would enjoy meeting over coffee, glass of wine or even a beer, so I can listen to you tell me about yourself and what you are looking for currently or long term.....

Date people from Novato, United States. Although it says that I'm 80% done, I have my doubts. I've seen it advertised on TV and really just want to see if what this website is all about. What about you? I guess if you already found what you are looking for you wouldn't be reading this at all.

Meet single man from Novato, United States. I'm pretty much an all around good guy, easy going, my friends call on me when they need me because I am dependable or they need a life of the party, its usually for both. I like to laugh till it hurts and enjoy seeing the sun rise. I'm cool with all pets and animals. I'm interested in someone that has some of the things i mentioned above in there make up, I would really like to find a woman that would make my eyes smile when we make eye contact, and has a lot of common scene and is street wise as well as book smart would be OK too for good conversation. at any rate thank you for your time and consideration.

Date people from United States. I'm friendly, prefer to be active, creative, enjoy laughter and conversation, can laugh at myself, faithful, affectionate, sensual, considerate, helpful, witty, but also have a serious side. I like to be healthy, exercise, and want to be with someone who is adaptable to life's changes.
I'm an all around type of woman - sporty to classy....easy going to passionate. Traveled in Europe a lot and other countries; lived in 5 states. Participated in many sports in life and hopefully new ones to begin. Currently, I like to ride horses, hike/walk, and to swim. Like boating; done fishing. Photos are current unless noted.
The male that I admire will have more than average intelligence, eats healthy and stays fit, stable, has the ability to handle social situations and family, affectionate, gentle, and proud of who he is in life. Sounds like a tall order/an alpha male...keep in mind that kindness, integrity, and strength in conviction in a man goes a long way....arrogance does not.
First half of my life I devoted to working, traveling, and raising a family. I'm a conscientious parent even as my kids get older or out the door. This middle part has been raising my family, working, contemplation, and starting over in new direction. The final chapter of my life will include my family, friends, work, hobbies, and very importantly...the love of my life.
As far as sports....I would see a hockey game or even something more personal like either mine or your son or daughter's sport, but I'm not into watching baseball, basketball, football (Montana/Rice team were only interesting to me), and I've seen enough soccer to last awhile. Honestly, I wouldn't be compatible with someone watching a lot of sports on TV or going often to sporting events. I prefer to be in nature hands-down. Love to be near or in water. I find ice skating easier than skiing but can do both.
Like to dance with an intimate partner. Play piano (like to play when I'm alone without distractions) and starting to paint again for pleasure. Have done ceramics, painting, and taught art on a volunteer basis in schools. I'm a very visual and tactile individual.
It would be nice to meet 'a good man with a good heart' in my life who would be handsome in my eyes. If the intent is honest and attraction mutual, then there's only more good things to come.
Please have a picture - fair is fair. I'd like to see people's eyes in photos, too.

Meet men and women from United States. Hi,
Giving you an impression of who I am is largely influenced by how well I write and the words I choose to weave you a verbal picture. These self descriptions are tough (as I read in so many profiles) and it only presents a snippet of the person I believe I am. So if my writing style appeals to you then maybe youРІР‚в„ўll be momentarily intrigued enough to read further and (wouldnРІР‚в„ўt it be nice) send a hello in my direction.
Would you like to know that I’m left-handed and that I wear only one contact? That purple is my favorite color and I drink chai latte? That the first clutch I learned to operate drove me into a ditch? That I’m warm, sincere and soft-hearted? I have been touched by immense joy and tragedy and absorbed those experiences to become a woman wise and compassionate, fun loving and spirited. I know how to listen and like being listened to. I can be profound and silly, graceful and klutzy. I keep myself trim fit (but not obsessive about it) and would hope you do the same for yourself. I like being active and eating well (but there is always room for ice cream). If I told you my interests… and there are many… maybe I’d bore you with the long list, please know I’m open to learning and sharing yours too if you’d like (as long as you don’t ask me to bungee jump).
So what am I looking for? More than merely dating. I’d really like to find someone to spend the rest of my life with in a relationship that brings out the best in us both. My wish is that our days (and nights) together would be some of the best of our lives. We roll with the ebbs and tides of loving and resolve the occasional discord because we know it makes us stronger and happier in the long run. We’ll blend our families and work at creating a healthy home life where all members feel comfortable and welcome. Open communication is important to us – from the head and the heart; and we realize that the success of a lasting relationship is based on honest communication, empathy being able to bend a bit. We’re not perfect; our imperfections don’t cause the kettle to boil over at least. Wouldn’t it be great to discover we’ve become best friends too? The chemistry between us stokes the fires. We’re playful at heart, tender, compassionate and passionate. We complement each other without overpowering one another....
