Date men from United States / California / Orangevale, 39 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. I love to stay active, have great friends and a great job. I'm happy with my life, fun, honest, healthy, sincere, active and drama free. I like to bike, hike and do hot yoga pretty regularly. I also like to get out skiing and hiking or other outdoor activities when possible. I like hanging out with friends doing dinner, drinks and trips. I love being around people who can have a good time talking about anything.
I'm looking for someone who enjoys being active and healthy, hanging with friends, good food and drink, can laugh, enjoy stimulating and totally ridiculous conversations.
I would love to meet someone who knows what a relationship is, and what it takes to make it great. I have a great job and work hard, but I've learned that is not my life. Its been important for me to reclaim my life over the last few years and I want someone who understands that and works hard themselves, but is not a slave to their job. Regardless of whether we match on everything, its more important that I meet someone that I can have a great connection with, like when you can finish each others sentences. I'm looking for someone that is outgoing, fun, smart. Someone who is physically, and emotionally healthy. I want a partner in life - in living, not someone to take care of. I want someone that I really click with. Someone who knows how to get things done, but can also run around the house chasing each other like little kids (or big kids ;-). I'd love to find someone who really enjoys hanging out and making dinner over a glass of wine and talking; someone who enjoys being active no matter what those activities are, as long as they enjoy them (although biking, hiking, skiing and/or yoga would be a big bonus :) someone who is comfortable with themselves.
Please no drugs or smoking. However, social drinking is great :).
BTW - I recently shaved the beard and now I'm clean shaven :) I'll update my pictures as I get new ones.

Meet single man from California, United States. I enjoy both exploring the great outdoors and quiet evenings in front the TV. Hiking through Yosemite and rafting down the Upper Klamath are among my favorites.My number one favorite is snowboarding the Sierra. Such beauty and peacefulness and a great way to recharge my batteries. Or for something closer to home, riding the American River Bike Trail or kayaking in the American are always fun. Sometimes for me quality time is best spent at home for a quiet evening. No distractions, annoying house music, or crowds of people to navigate. Just me and my sweetie sharing our burdens, thoughts, dreams, and aspirations.
I enjoy cooking and trying new recipes. I like most cuisines and am currently trying to raise my tolerance for spicy foods. A recent trip to Wild Buffalo Wings in Folsom has provided encouragement. Like the inferno wings!!! I also bake but would prefer sharing these experiences with someone special.......
Relationships are very important to me. I could have everything life has to offer but without love, I am nothing. Bankrupt. Empty. So cultivating new friendships and maintaining them is something I enjoy. I would much rather focus my energies on a small group of close friends than have hundreds of acquaintances (like Facebook :) ) I believe communication and honesty are key to any successful relationship and are the foundation for the beginning of an emotionally rewarding one. From that point....the skies the limit. I love to open the door, pull the chair out (NOT from under you), give a gift just because, and treat a woman like the jewel she is. Loving someone is a choice, being happy and grateful each day is a choice, and I choose to share this with someone. Is that somneone you.....
I serve on the tech team at my church, am learning to play the drums, and am thankful for this new life Jesus has given me. My relationship with Christ is very important to me as He needs to be the center of my focus. What He's done for me can barley be expressed with words and that would be a conversation better shared as we're getting to know each other over coffee or dinner. Yes, it's true, I enjoy articulating thoughts and then sharing them too. It's a crazy concept for a male I know, but nonetheless, that's me. Looking for someone fun who enjoys laughing, exploring the great outdoors, doesn't take herself too seriously, honest, and can easily express herself when something is wrong or unsettling, loves our Lord, and wants a lifetime commitment.
Thank you for reading
