Date men and women from United States / California / Poway, 41 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. Once you get past the self-deprecating humor, you will soon learn that I'm a raging Kleptomaniac... LOL, totally kidding, but now that I have your attention, please read on to find our more about me. The challenge is how to tell you that I'm just a nice, reasonably successful guy looking to share his life with his future soul mate without sounding like a lifetime movie...well I guess that is what the previous paragraph attempts to accomplish, so there you go...
I'm the proud father of one fifteen year-old boy who lives with me most of the time, and my ex-wife and I have been amicably divorced for over 6 years now. I'm way past the breakup and I am interested and excited to meet some good people here. Friendship is not at all out of the question; it is welcome, but I am searching for a significant other. My business isn't glamorous -- I work in the Internet Advertising Business and am also the founder of an internet start-up company -- but I've done alright for myself and I love the challenge of starting and running my own company. It's important to note that I'm not married to my work, and even when I was actually married, I always found time for my partner, getaways, family time, and lots of other activities including shopping (yes, straight guys can shop too!), movies (either at home or the theater - The Hangover was really funny, and I love Netflix) and the occasional excursion to Vegas or someplace else (nothing like a little time to recharge your batteries). Things are different now, but I look forward to taking some chances and seeing who's out there.
About the One I'm Looking For:
I smile when I think of you. You like and accept my son. You have a highly developed sense of sarcasm. I think it's cute when you snort as you laugh. You make fun of me when I can't leave the house without forgetting something. I think it's adorable the way you look at me when you think I'm not looking. You act younger than you are because I like women who can be mature but who haven't forgotten what it's like to be a girl. You are honest, open, faithful and committed to having a healthy, happy and honest relationship together, wherever that may lead us.
My Perception of an Ideal Relationship:
I may be a little rusty about courtship and dating, but I'm not jaded by divorce. It's even clearer to me that there's not just one person out there. And even if you get lucky and meet a Keeper, there's still a mountain of work ahead. It's knowing that the work is worth it, and that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts which gives me hope that I will find you. I'm not looking to jump into anything serious overnight, but I'm a firm believer in chemistry and fate and I'm not afraid of commitment or a serious relationship - I'm totally open to wherever life leads us. A perfect relationship is one in which the reality is not that far from your fantasy. As long as you have a realistic fantasy, I think you are bound to one day find your bliss.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you and learning more about you as well. We'll never know if it's meant to be if we never contact each other, so isn't it time you took a chance - please contact me or reply to my email if I've contacted you...I'm looking forward to getting to know you and I hope to hear from you soon.
I will respond to every email I receive, even if only to let you know that the attraction isn't there for me, and I would sincerely appreciate the same honesty and courtesy.
Until then,
Larry

Meet men and women from California, United States. My friends would describe me as a sweet, caring, and sarcastically funny guy. That I'm a loyal and dependable friend. That I'm kind, thoughtful, and generous, blah, blah, blah, blah... Okay, if that typical drivel didn't make you sick it almost made me ill writing it!
I really do think that I'm one of the "good guys" out there, but I just haven't been in the right time or place to find the one right girl for me. But have no doubts I'm convinced she's out there.
I have several passions in my life. First, I've been a motorcycle guy since I was a small boy. I have a Harley (as you can see in one of my pictures) and I truly enjoy the time I spend racking up the miles. If you're not comfortable with the Harley, please know that I'm okay riding solo. But if you'd like to feel the wind in your face, I have an extra helmet just for you.
I'm also very passionate about a summer camp program that I've been part of for the past 12 years. It's a summer camp for children surviving cancer ages 4-18. I'm currently the director of the camp and have an amazing group of friends and co-counselors that put on an amazing camp for the most deserving kids I know of. I'm also working with several friends to start our own non-profit company to help raise funds to support the camps and to expand what services we can give to the kids and their families.
Although I'm 2,200 miles from my closest family members, I'm super close to my parents, sister, brothers, and my nieces and nephew. "Uncle Score" as of today: 4 nieces, 1 nephew, and one unknown on the way. I can tell you my nephew is hoping and praying for a boy cousin! I do my best to visit family as often as possible, and I'm thankful for technologies like video chat. It makes my heart melt when my brother texts me that my 2-year old niece wants to "computer talk" with her uncle.
Other passions include, home-brewing, playing the ukulele, golf, watching football, woodworking, live music, and grilling with my friends. There are many more things I could write about, but I'll leave those to the first date.
Who I'm looking for? Great question. I'm hoping to find a lovely lady that wants to be both friend and lover. Is in love with who I am, not who she wants me to be. Is comfortable with the belief that we must maintain our own lives, but wants to create what we should call "our life". Is willing and able to challenge me mentally and is looking to have a great time in life. Is that you?

Date a man from California, United States. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME DOING THIS SO I'M REALLY NOT SURE WHAT TO EXPECT. I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START? SO HERE IT IS I AM HARD WORKING PROFESSIONAL WHO LIKES TO GO OUT, ENJOY A GOOD DINNER AND MOVIE. I'M A SIMPLE MAN WHO SOMETIMES LIKES TO BE SPONTANEOUS. LOOKING FOR A LADY WHO ENJOYS LIFE AND IS ALSO SPONTANEOUS. 

Meet someone special from California, United States. For me, it is the simple things in life that count. It is not the kind of car you drive or how many times you go to the gym. It's not about how much of a partier you used to be or how beautiful your ex- girlfriend was. I don't care about your past as long as it has molded you into the good person you are today. Being aware of the world around you, showing compassion to the less fortunate, and truly understanding the meaning of love and family is what I look for in a man. In conclusion, feeling protected and finding someone who is not only attractive but confident in himself would be also be ideal.
Must haves:
*Must have good communication with the mother of your children
(I have a lot of respect for my daughter's father and his lovely wife)
*Must be passionate and love to kiss...
(I strive to be a "good Catholic girl" most of the time but do enjoy a good squeeze...lol)
*Must appreciate a simple girl who leads a simple life
(I have a 9 year old who I have 85% of the time but will definitely make time for the right person)
*Must know of a good Mexican place to eat because I don't!
(Nothing like a home cooked meal)
Note: What you see is what you get as most of my photos are fairly recent. Keep in mind though that I photograph well - I am just an average girl underneath it all - 5'2", 125 lbs., shapely but not toned (working on it), freckles, naturally fair skinned, and many other imperfections. Please be honest in your profile as well...I would rather you pull out the skeletons now then find out you lied about something so insignificant. Take a chance...I just might love you even more for it... :)

Date people from California, United States. Traveling is a passion for me and I intend to travel to the four corners of this world. I have made great strides....climbed the hills of Wales, soaked in the beauty of Kyoto when the cherry blossoms are blooming, bargained with the vendors at Dilli Haat, prayed at the temples in Ho Chi Minh City, eaten with the geckos in Pohnpei, lounged and roamed Honolulu, immersed in the history of Washington DC, partied with the natives in Guam, glided through the forest in Belize, and meandered through the streets of Kowloon...but I still have thousands of miles before I can reach my goal. However, I also enjoy knowing that I can always go home. I am the middle child of a large family. We are a fairly closed knit family who enjoy a rousing conversation during dinner. I am a fairly even-tempered person and can count the number of people I dislike (hate is too strong of a word) on one hand. I am easy going but can be stubborn. I like to debate and would sometime take the opposing view for fun (regardless of my beliefs or values). Stimulating conversations keep me going but I also enjoy time to meditate and read. I enjoy learning and is currently trying to learn how to ride a motorbike. If you want to join, let me know.
