Date men from United States / California / Rancho Santa Margarita, 45 year old

Date someone special from Rancho Santa Margarita, United States. I was born and raised in Arizona and moved to the LA basin in the 90's. Been here since and don't visit the beach near often enough.
I'm a technical guy at work but still think of myself as athletic outside of that. Love to play basketball about 3-5 days a week and am also into hiking and camping a bit. I have two boys 10, 12 who I love hanging out with, Big Bear, BB Gun shooting, video games and also around their sports, soccer & football.
Since you will ask on the first date anyway, I have a 50/50 split with my boys, a week on and week off which has worked out splendidly.
A couple of things that I think are unique about me:
I had the greatest opportunity with my dad to build a house from the ground up among some other additions and while my technical job pays better, I can fix anything around the home.
While I haven't flown in years I have my private pilots license and still read a bit about it. Given more money and time I would pick it up again for short trips to Catalina, or Vegas.
I love eating out at new places and like comparing different Taco Tuesday places around where I live. You are welcome to join us!
In the last 2.5 years I've been on/off different dating sites and have met some amazing people but just not the perfect connection so I'm still out there looking.
I like to think that I'm low key. I love watching basketball games at home or at sports bars.
My perfect match would be a person who knows I'm kidding most of the time and would like to be just as feisty or funny. I'm looking for someone who has energy for both their regular hobbies and a few new things once in a while.
If I leave the United States I'm thinking Australia.
I'm looking for someone who is willing to skip work once in a while (call in sick) to make a day of enjoying each others company. I'm talking rainy days, laying in bed reading magazines like People, US, USA today whatever, just relaxing.
I prefer 5'3" or taller gals with normal to maybe slender builds with very upbeat personalities. I Love a great genuine smile on her that just comes naturally and would love someone who respects what we have in common but also embraces our differences.

Meet single man from Rancho Santa Margarita, United States. Yes, I am a native Californian which I hear we're becoming extinct. I do like doing the touristy things around town just so I don't forget how lucky I am that I live in Southern California. I am here on Match for the same reasons you are, looking for that special someone. I am optimistic and goal driven, I have a quick wit, and occasionally sarcastic. One of my siblings said I was the patriarch of the family. However, this title should be held for eldest, but I do embrace the role.
Some of my favorite things are that chairlift ride on the first ski run of the day. Or, playing around of golf at a course for the first time, the unknown and that anything is possible. Maybe, just maybe I can break into the 70's. I will approach Match very much the same way I approach life, with optimism and excitement.
Thank you for taking the time reading my intro, good luck.

Date a soulmate from Rancho Santa Margarita, United States. ME:
Let's see......My name is Blake. I am a single father of three great "kids" (18, 17 and 15), of whom I have 50% custody. I'm a lawyer for a job and a Dad and an Adventure Racer, mountain bike racer and wanna-be-chef for Living.
I was married for 15 years. Been single for 6.
Love the outdoors and outdoor "fitness" activities: mountain and road biking, kayaking, trail running, climbing, hiking, snowboarding, skiing etc. Do this stuff daily and would love to share it with "Her."
My idea of fun is not a drink on the beach or bar hopping. My idea of fun is something more along the lines of a hard run or bike ride, etc. followed by a gourmet meal (out or cooked at home), or a massage. I like to take little "Active Mini-Vacations" to Mexico, SF, Big Bear, Moab, and Tahoe. You get the picture.
I think that Honest and Open Communication is the key to a successful relationship. Physical and Spiritual connectedness are also KEY.
Can be relentless and Intense at times; silly and goofy at others. VERY Open in ALL areas.
I am not a "friends first" "slow fuse" guy; looking for someone who we blow each others' socks off, right from coffee.
Not a player. I was only married once. Ready to settle down, but not settle. Looking for a Real Match.
YOU:
Fun, Fit, (Lean, Athletic, Slender - whatever it's called), Adventurous and Not Afraid of Getting Dirty; You Love me for Me and also Love my kids, cooking and Aussie.
You Love the outdoors and outdoor "fitness" activities: mountain and road biking, kayaking, trail running, climbing, hiking, snowboarding, skiing etc.
The OBVIOUS: a good heart, free spirit, sharp mind and TONS of frisky passion; all that stuff.
NOT IF YOU SMOKE AT ALL, DO DRUGS (INCLUDING POT) AT ALL, OR DRINK A LOT, WE ARE NOT A MATCH.
p.s., a tad older than stated not to be missed; pics are up to date and accurate.
