Date people from California, United States. Are you ready to take that chance? I'm your typical guy with a not so typical sense of what I'm about. I'm far from perfect, but not afraid to show it. I'm not afraid to give in and fall in love. Most guys look for the one that gains everyones attention, but I want the one that gains "my" attention. I want a woman that is comfortable being herself and is happy with that. One that I can stand beside through life, stand behind in support of her beliefs and dreams, and stand in front of to protect in hard times. Don't get me wrong, I know not all women need protecting, but not all situations are to be met alone. Will I catch you if you start to fall?? I would put myself in harms way trying (a little old fashioned like that).
I am a little spontaneous to say the least. Known to hop in a car with no plans and drive to the coast for a weekend, go backpacking or camping for a couple of days at minutes notice, or last minutes notice to a fun charity event. I don't bleed money, but am very rich in lifes rewards. I have the worlds best children (check any reference, lol!), have a decent/above average job, great friends (some I've known for 30 years), and am honored to be involved with local school and community activities. A little compassion and heart go a long way. Could you imagine if it was paired with anothers?
Just as comfortable in Carhart and jeans as I am in Armani. Dress for the occassion and comfort, but never dress to impress anyone. Found daily in shorts and a t-shirt when I'm with my kids. Not afraid to get dirty or go for walks in the rain, but clean up very nice for dinner out or special functions. Lol!
Might as well put this out there - I'm a Chicago Cubs and Dallas Cowboys fan. So while my expectations aren't too high, I don't give up hope. Lol! And yes! I'm one of those guys that tends to wear his hat backwards and spend my summers in shorts and flip flops.
Meet men and women from California, United States. I'm an easy going, athletic, nice guy who likes to laugh. I am a very balanced person (I can be goofy or serious) and believe that balance and well-roundedness (is that a word?) in one's life is important to happiness. I have a good send of humor. I value communication and relish opportunities to have long conversations about virtually any topic.
I'm a good father to my son and he and I have a close relationship. I am handy around the house; if somthing breaks I can ususally "Maguyver" it and do a good job, although I'll admit that it probably takes me 2-3 times as long compared to someone who knows what he's doing (LOL).
I have a passion for reading and learning, and continuously strive to improve myself. I'm definitely a "glass is half full" type of person. I am non-judegemental and always look for the best in other people. In conflicts or disagreements, by nature I look for areas of commonality and am more intereseted in reaching a mutually agreeable solution than in winning.
I am a very romantic and affectionate person, so chemistry and intimacy on all levels is very important to me (emotional, mental, spiritual, physical). I LOVE kissing and am not afraid of public displays of affection. I really enjoy the touch of someone that I care about; love giving and recieving masages; so you will need to be comfortable with touching and being touched. I was raised to be a gentleman and continue to be one. When I am with someone, I pay attentention to her needs, and make a sincere effort to meet them. You must be willing to do the same.
It is important to me that both of us work on keeping the passion and fun alive in the relationship; meaning, I would love to find someone that I can be romantic and passionate with and who can have as much fun sharing my passion for life and new experiences years from now as she does today.
Although I'm a big guy (athletic and toned, but with a football player's build, not Lance Armstrong's), I've run two marathons, and am training to complete my first ironman next year. I'm looking for an easy going, spontaneous, athletic woman who loves to laugh, have fun, and who is excited about experiencing all that life has to offer. I love to ride my bike (if you do too, that's a big bonus), run, swim, hike. I also know how to Scuba Dive, sail, and am open to any new activity.
I have had the opportunity to travel in my life. I love meeting new people and learning about other cultures, and would love to do more traveling in the future. I am perfectly happy spending a day on a hike or bike ride, and then dressing up and going out to see a play, listen to live music, or to dinner. I also love staying at home and cuddling.
I would like to start as friends, and see how things develop, but I am really looking for someone with whom I can fit well together. I really want to be with someone who loves, accepts and appreciates me and all that I have to offer. There are so many more things in life that I want to do and explore; it would be nice to have someone to explore them with (X-country skiing, mountain biking, hiking, white water rafting, anyone?).
I am not interested in spending time with anyone with "Control Issues", someone who enters a disagreement with the desire to "Win", someone with "Black and White" thinking, or someone who has a judgemental or jealous personality.
Date someone special from California, United States. THE IDEAL WOMAN ENJOYS NIGHTS OUT ON THE TOWN AND QUIET NIGHTS AT HOME. I AM A SINGLE FATHER, WHO IS FULLY EMPLOYED AND VERY RESPONSIBLE, I ENJOY TRAVELING, VACATIONS AND I AM LOOKING TO BUILD A LONG AND TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP
Meet a soulmate from California, United States.
What can I tell you? I have many interests and would like to share in yours.
I love spending time with my kids and have them 50% of the time, being a Dad is the most rewarding opportunity I have ever had. Any adventure or experience I can share with them brings a smile to my face.
As for me, I like to cook and BBQ, spend time hanging out, riding bikes whether it is a day in San Francisco, exploring the trails at Folsom Lake, downhill at Northstar or a ride down the American River Trail. Going out in the boat wakeboarding and tubing with the kids or a cruise down the river. Snowboarding in Tahoe during the winter. I am a scuba diver, enjoy sailing, kind of a go with the flow type of guy., Watching my kids play soccer and seeing them grow up. Enjoying peoples company and what could be better than a night out on the town dancing with that someone special? Sleeping in on Sunday.
Feel free to say hi, send a wink, you never will know unless you try.
30 minutes and a beverage is a small investment if it changes our life, it really isn't that hard.
Date someone special from California, United States. I’m someone who has a hard time sitting still…when it comes down to it, I guess you could say standing still too—I love to run. I’ve completed the Boston Marathon along with many others. I am either running or doing some form of exercise pretty much every day of the week. Staying in shape and eating healthy are important to me.
I can sit still on a plane however... I’ve been to Europe, Jamaica, Canada, Mexico, Japan, nearly every state in the U.S., but I’m not done yet. I would love to see the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, explore the Maori culture in New Zealand, and visit the Matterhorn in Switzerland.
One of the most important things you should know about me is that I am a dad to a wonderful daughter. She helps to keep me a child at heart. I am looking for someone who is also fun-loving and wants to support my dreams as much as I want to support hers. I think I am a great partner because I am extremely loyal and faithful. I am looking for someone who is honest and who values integrity, faith and love.
Meet people from California, United States. I have been on and off this site for about a year now, I am ready to give it more attention. What can I say about myself, I have 2 beautiful girls that live with me full time (14&12). I love to bake and cook, in fact I have started my own small baking business. I am still working on getting it going, but like the tortoise slow and steady wins the race. I enjoy going to movies, bbq, live theatre, going to sporting events. I must say that one of my favorite things to do is, going to amusement parks. I ask you, how can you not have fun at places like those?
I enjoy going to the beach, lake or mountains, and just relaxing. I even like to stay home and just relax by watching a good movie with that special someone. Tinkering around the house can be fun, I enjoy working on my garden. I enjoy hanging out with friends and family, I like to go out and experience new things and foods. I usually can be found wearing jeans and a t-shirt, but I do love to get dressed up for a night on the town.
I am not a cheater, I believe in being loyal to the one your with. I am a big believer in open communication, that way the little stuff does not turn into big stuff. I do not smoke or do drugs, I am a light social drinker. I try to stay fit, not always easy thing to do lol. I do have my own home and car. I stand 5’8, now I know most of you are looking for someone 6’ or taller. I may not be as tall as you want, but I do make up for it with fun, personality, and just all around good person.
I am ? Italian, so I am into family, I like to go to family functions and can be protective of my family members. I would like to get re-married some day, but not in a huge rush just sometime before the end of the year j/k. J.
Date men and women from Rocklin, United States. I am someone who is honest, believes deeply in integrity and am open with how I feel about love, life etc... I am looking for someone who also values honest communication.
My friends say that I resemble Ben Stiller, in looks and in humour. These same friends may tell you (after I agree to pick up their bar tab)that I sometimes can be the life of the party.
Taking care of myself physically and emotionally are important to me, I hope they are for you too. I am mature enough to know that it is what is inside that counts.. However I can not discount physical chemistry either. There is something very spirtual to me about working out especially running. Those who do understand, those who don't may never and they are missing out on the most powerful happiness drug you can never buy..."runner's high"
I consider myself very lucky that I am in a place in my life where my kids are doing extremely well, I am financially secure, healthy, realizing my dreams and happier than I have been in a long time. I am not looking for someone to "complete me", rather someone who I enjoy being with and they feel the same way.
Have you ever had the experience on this site where you have seen pictures of someone, thought they looked worthwhile and than when you actually met them they did not look like their pictures? I promise you that I actually look better in person than I do in my pictures (this is from third party analysis and not my own personal judgements of course). Now with this bold statement comes a money back guarantee. If we make it to the first date and on your first impression of me I do not look better than my pictures you have my approval to turn around and walk out. Please than send me your bill for mileage which I will reimburse at the IRS approved rate of .50/mile up to a total of $25.00.
UNITED NATIONS ADVISORY: You should know that I am the last of my kind....an all around nice guy. Please take a good look because we are going extinct. Global Warming, your lust for the Bad Boy and the encroaching development of trailer parks in suburbia is making my kind go the way of the Polar Bear in Alaska. Please write your local legislator and ask them to make saving the nice guys a national priority. Don't just do it for us, do it for you, do it for our country...most of all please do it for the children. Won't you act now?
One last final note while we are talking about rare species...You could scale Mount Kilamanjaro, trek across the badlands on the island of Madagascar, sail around Cape Horn in the middle of a hurricane, climb Half Dome backwards in slippers and still in your whole life you may never ever get the experience of meeting someone like myself with the below attributes:
A Libertarian Harley riding Italian Agnostic Jew, born and raised in New York, living in Califonia who loves Country Music....yes I am a rare find indeed. While you may never get the chance to go to Madagascar you may get the chance to meet me.
Meet a man from Rocklin, United States. So over the past few weeks I've been "scouting" other profiles and can declare now I am among those who really don't know what to say here. The challenge is how do I provide info about me that doesn't begin to sound corny, cliche or egocentric. But, I gotta write something....
I'm an independant guy (I live allone with pets) who's reached the point in life where I get to do what I like doing (this means my kids are grown). Outside of my day job (I'm in Real Estate) I teach Business at University of Phoenix and workout (weights at the gym, running, biking) 3-4 times a week. That's what I do for myself. I really enjoy movies, conversation, strong coffee (I make great coffee) and good wine (Pinot Noirs especially). These are the things I enjoy with others. Actually, I enjoy everything more when experiencing it with others.
By the way, pardon the pictures. That's the most uncomfortable part of this. My trainer Val said she'd handle this for me, so I let her take the pictures. They make me cringe actually, I haven't looked at one and thought, "yeah, that looks like me". At least there are no more self photographs taken with my iPhone in my bathroom mirror......classy!!!
I'm known among friends as having a quick wit and for being a good story teller, especially funny stories. It's a little strange to self proclaim myself as funny, but everyone who knows me and knows I'm doing this tells me "make sure you say how funny you are". So, I AM FUNNY!! Mission accomplished.......
It all began when I was about 7 and at a family dinner (about 20 people) stood up on my chair and began impersonating my father (quite a character he was). All the adults at the table were hysterical, you know, soda coming out of nostrils kind of laughing. In that moment I knew there was something really cool about being funny. Lots of liquids leaving nostrils since then.....you could be next......
I enjoy nuance, rarely satisfied with just shallow conversation. I like 3 demensional people, those who know there is more to any situation than meets the eye. My perfect match is fit, enjoys living right, likes to laugh alot and cares about the world around us.
In one of the classes I teach we discuss the imperfect nature of communicating via texts and emails, far inferior to the experience of face to face conversation. So my preference is to meet for coffee or any other opportunity to meet briefly and see what happens. Good luck to us all!!!

Date people from California, United States. I would have to describe myself as honest, caring, compassionate, goal oriented, competitive, spontaneous and athletic. I am looking for some of the same qualities. I had the opportunity to travel abroad while playing basketball professionally in Europe after college, so I enjoy travelling. The reason I am trying this Internet dating service is I am tired of dating people that I have met in bars, and finding out that it is another shallow encounter. I am extremely proud single father of a wonderful 5 year old boy. Looking for someone us who does not take 2 hours to get ready. Someone who likes to travel and experience all the wonderful things that life has to offer. Also someone special that I can grow old with, and that we can always look into each others eyes and know that the love between us is just as wonderful and exciting as the day we met.
Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I enjoy the outdoors; hiking, boating, camping, and fishing (if they're biting). I like to work in the yard and garden, but sometimes just relax by the pool. I enjoy exploring mountain trials on my motorcycle and discovering new places. Family is very important to me and life up until now has revolved around both of my sons (college age). Now it's time to move on and find someone who enjoys similar interests. I am calm, easy to get along with, and dedicated. I'm looking for for a down to earth woman who enjoys the outdoors, but also quiet dinners and wine tasting. I hope to hear from you.
