Date a soulmate from Poway, United States. I am not comfortable bragging about myself. I am pretty awesome. I am currently alive. I am looking for the same. I do not date zombies, I need to be very clear on this. I can't go to hold your hand and have it pop off your body, this would ruin the date in my opinion. I read left to right. I'm really great at it to. You should see me read...it's wonderful. I like food. If you like food we are going to get along great. I talk a lot and I clearly have a sarcastic/goofy sense of humor. I am also a great listener. I am employed and this provides me with money to do things and I do like my job but it is sales so it can be pretty intense at time. I'm open minded and liberal but conservative on other issues. I like to make people laugh so if you don't like to laugh we are not going to get along. I am looking for a long term relationship, I miss having one. I want a best friend, a partner in crime, & someone to travel the World. My friends will tell you I'm pretty unique and I'm comfortable with that.
Meet people from Poway, 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
Date someone special from Poway, 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 men and women from California, United States. Again humor is supreme. Just looking to hang out and if things work, we'll take it from there.
I love being self-employed, family, and beer!
I sometimes shave my head and then let it grow back for fun!

Meet someone special from California, United States. What’s the best way to let someone know a bit about you by reading a few hundred words? That’s rhetorical. I don’t know, but let’s see if this works. It probably won't convey the depth of my character, what a wonderful person I am, or my sense of humor. :-) I imagine you struggle with the same challenge on your profile.
Things I think help define me:
• I’m an engineering executive and love my career. I have a good work/life balance and am fairly successful by most standards.
• I enjoy music, and joined a band last year playing keyboards and guitar on mostly 80’s songs. It’s a lot of fun, and I’m getting better. I also realize that I may have (want) to give it up one day for The Right Person. That’s okay. Just don’t tell the band now.
• Besides music, cars are a big hobby. It seems I always have a few in various stages of restoration. I find working on them therapeutic and rewarding, except when it’s really frustrating. But then, there is satisfaction from problem solving. I do all the work myself, except upholstery. Some things are better left to professionals. I’m a concours judge, and judge 4 or 5 shows a year.
• I can fix almost anything.
• My parents are European and I like to consider myself a gentleman. If you’re really uncomfortable with a guy that opens doors for you and pulls out your chair… well, it’s just a hard habit for me to break.
• I also consider myself very kind and generous, but that has led to me being taken advantage of. I’ve occasionally crossed the line between generous and sucker.
• I’m a bit of a kid inside. I like sci-fi and Pixar movies. (Don’t worry – I have no Star Wars toys of any kind and don’t play video games.)
• I have a serious side (mainly related to career, investing, and things one should be serious about), and a silly side that comes out after I’m comfortable with you. My sense of humor can be slightly sarcastic at times.
• I’m blessed with great parents and a wonderful brother. We are all very close and talk frequently. My parents still live in the house I grew up in and it’s a wonderful experience to stay in “my” room when I visit. Family is very important.
• I love being romantic and passionate.
• I is articulate and intelligent. What? Oh yea; that sense of humor again.
• I enjoy plays, concerts, and movies. Especially concerts.
• Love dogs. Miss mine. See photo.
• I Don't Sweat The Small Stuff (and it's all smal stuff). (Great book, on Amazon.)
• I enjoy travel. My favorite places to visit are England, Italy, and France. I also like tropical vacations and try to get in some Scuba diving when I go. Maui, Tahiti, Cozumel, and the Caribbean (Grand Cayman) are as spectacular below the water as above it. I have relatives in England and Germany and plan to go back soon.
• I believe the best relationships have a foundation of friendship, trust, and communication. They are mutually supportive, nurturing, caring commitments. I am fiercely loyal, compassionate, and tolerant.
About you:
You are also fiercely loyal, playful, and passionate. You are patient (you must be if you’re still reading). You enjoy your work and like to get better at what you do. You love music and possibly (dare I hope?) even cars. Or at least tolerate them. You are equally comfortable dressing up for a formal event or kicking around in jeans. You had a great upbringing from loving parents. You realize that while eros and passion are great, relationships are sustained on a deeper love and commitment where friendship and communication are critical. You take good care of yourself physically and emotionally. You are not looking for someone to complete you, but someone to complete your life.

What I seek, is a fun easy going creative non-smoker, mentally healthy and physically fit, driven by success and motivated with life, outgoing and can be weird at times, playful and possibly sarcastic, loving and warm hearted filled with balanced qualities of happiness followed with compatibility and able to enjoy each other’s company.
Meet single man from California, United States. Well, as i have been pondering this for several months now. I dont know where to start. I love the outdoors, being active. I am greatful for my family, friends and enjoy meeting others. Most people would describe me as ............ ? Dont Know. Oh well i guess you'll just have to find out. I like to find the humor in most anything and love to joke around, but it sometimes gets me in trouble and.... well they get over it and they still enjoy hanging around. I am energetic and cant seem to sit. I dont like being indoors when its a perfect day to be enjoying the outdoors, including on a rainy day!. I can't seem to go without any activity everyday. My passion however is mountain biking. I MTB several days a week and just purchased a road bike that all my friends are nagging me to get on an ride!. In due time i tell em. They'll just have to wait!. Well just an update, I got hooked on the road and have completed several century rides and it was painfully greaaaaat! ;).
What I am looking for, first of all is friendship while remaining open to the possibility of something more if it developes (life partner). Im not looking for drama and prefer to keep away from it. Im not into games or serial dating. I'm self sufficient, do it yourself attitude (which gets me in over my head once in a while), dependable, a bit old fashioned, faithful, conscious of others and very loyal. I'm pretty low key, I prefer somebody who is active, cares for others, motivated, sincere, respectful (towards themselves as well) and of course is into cycling, open to night hikes, night MTB'n, camping and just enjoying the outdoors. I also am selective on who I keep close in friendships/relationships and gravitate towards positive, upbeat people. I do read the bible for myself, to help keep me grounded and humbled with God's influence, I'm not a bible thumper and dont push it on anyone.
I maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet. I'm not into partying, drinking (due to my employment); only socially if im not going to be behind the wheel, any type of drugs, the bar/nightclub scene. Mostly into outdoor activity/ healthy lifestyle which i strive to maintain to keep the blood flowing. Well i think that sums it up! I hope to see you at some time!
Date men and women from Poway, United States. 49 year old active individual. Enjoys a wide veriety of things from camping and fishing to home gardening. Looking for an attractive woman who can out fish me and to spend some quality time with. I have two adult children, both living at home.
Meet people from Poway, United States. My ideal match would be someone that is affectionate, caring, funny, warmhearted and looking for a long-term relationship. In return, I offer the same and possibly more.
I love tennis, hiking, eating out (especially sushi), theater, live music, gardening, wine tasting and driving my tractor. Everyone should drive a tractor at least once. I exercise regularly and try to eat right. I do splurge on occasion (darn dark chocolate) but what is life without a little indulgence? I play the guitar and sing poorly so a little humor on your part is needed. I’m also well educated, can have an intelligent conversation, and have strong family values and morals.
If you share similar values and are looking for a healthy relationship, we should talk.
Date someone special from Poway, United States. I have a VERY simple life, and like it that way. I live alone (no pets, parents, roommates or kids) I don't need to be doing adrenaline junkie things every weekend. I don't work out (I'm one of those people who can eat anything and not gain a pound...so don't hate me because I'm thin). I've been the same height/weight since high school. It runs in my family as my brother and sister are exactly the same. My son is grown and on his own. People ask me what I like to do? That's relative because I'm pretty much up for anything as long as I can do it with someone by my side. I'm looking for a LONG TERM, STABLE relationship. Why that is so elusive is beyond me. I think it's because everyone has a shopper mentality on here. After all, everything is predicated on the photo right? He's too short, next, he's too tall, next, he's too fat, next, he's too thin next. Nobody seems to be willing to take a chance on substance. But I remain optimistic in my quest. It's not the destination... It's the journey.
