Date men and women from United States / California / San Francisco, 43 year old

Date a man from United States. I'm loyal, somewhat irreverent, and not huge on what people think unless I respect them. I prefer chefs and staff to foodies, what people have to say to what they do, and while ideals are ok, I like ideas better. I like activity, but am not into the gym. I’m not always crazy about people, but love a good party. I appreciate class, but am not into pretense. And while cool has it's place, I have a hefty geek-streak. Oh yeah, unlike most in SF, I actually like tourists. (I think any real San Franciscan does.)
I love my neighborhood and it is my home, but as a whole, I think I prefer the East Bay and Oakland. People are more liberal - and I mean lifestyle, not politics, more unique, smarter, more creative, and more real out there They're definitely more fun...more interesting. Lol. They have better manners, not so self-absorbed...(unless you're in Berkeley.)
But SF still gives me a buzz I can't get anywhere else. Granted, I need to travel more. Lol. Because I haven't done much, I'll go about anywhere. A cheesy cruise or trip to the Antarctic...waddaya got?
One of my favorite things to do on a weekend is go up to my neighborhood, grab my coffee, sit and people watch, chat, talking about whatever comes up and going where it goes, and then grabbing my coffee and walking towards the sun, (which is toward the beach.) And just go where the day takes. When it comes to love…
It’s chemistry, connection, and compatibility for me. It’s not necessarily in words, but what’s understood by a look, a touch, or a presence. It can be the brush of a hand that sets your guts on fire. Or it can be a solid, mutual respect and understanding that makes you say, "I want to walk through the world and this life with this person." Maybe my One is like me, maybe opposite. It doesn't matter to me. I keep an opened mind because I never know what life is going to bring, it's wiser than I am, and I love that. And if love comes knocking…
I hopefully won’t answer the door saying, “Go away. I’m looking for love.”
But if I'm slow on the uptake, just slap me out of it.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I am hoping to meet someone who's up for trying new things (something different from just dinner), and has a quick sense of humor. I like a girl who us easy going, but strong in her convictions, and can express herself in different ways. If she's artistic at all and likes to read (and reading aloud is kinda cool) it's a big plus. Hopefully she'll love the outdoors, and likes fish on the grill.
It would be great if you love to ski or surf (or would like to give it a shot). If you are up for biking, looking for a belay partner, or just hanging out for starters, maybe we can talk some more. No mega-triathletes or uber-bloggers, please :)
The long distance thing? I think anything is possible, but I am looking for a serious relationship. I like to think I am a pretty chill guy - trustworthy, ambitious, and who appreciates dry humor, Frightened Rabbit, iced coffee, indie films, a good yoga session, and all things new and intriguing.

Date someone special from United States. It's so hard to reduce yourself to a few lines of text in any accurate way. And yet the ironic thing is that I'm a writer. Go figure. Let's just say I am a truly nice, honest, funny, laid-back person, and yet I am also not merely what I seem to be. Mild-mannered on the outside but seething underneath with a desire to experience life and love with intensity. I love to laugh and make others laugh. I do random impressions. I know too much about too many trivial things. I'm sarcastic but sincere, loyal, devoted, a great listener, and a great friend. I am dependable; I do what I say I'm going to and like it when others do the same. I mean what I say and say what I mean. (Forgive me if I sound like Lewis Carroll.)
I consider myself a cynical romantic. I'm a bit of a dreamer but also very practical. I'm trying to finish my first novel. Bars and clubs are not really my scene. I prefer spending time with someone alone or in small groups; cafes, museums, bookstores and movies are more my speed. A couple of people have called me mysterious, which I take as a compliment while still being slightly baffled by it. (Me? A mystery?) Well, you can find out for yourself if that's true or not.
I'm looking for a smart, funny, down-to-earth but unconventional woman to spend time with; I'm open to whatever kind of relationship develops. Opposites do attract, at least for me! If you're an artist yourself, or just appreciate art and literature, that's great - but not essential. Just be open, caring and real, have a good sense of humor, and be into more than just shopping, TV and going out partying. I want to meet someone who'll be a best friend as well as a romantic partner. Thanks for reading.

Meet people from United States. Grew up in the Midwest and moved to SF about 10 years ago. The winters wore me down. I'm at a stage in my life where spending quality time with friends and family is more important than hitting the bars/clubs. Drinks-dinner-conversation. Walking tour of various SF neighborhoods.

Date single man from United States. I am outgoing, funny, have a very positive attitude and enjoy life to the fullest. I had been very focused on my career and enjoyed a tremendous amount of professional and financial success admittedly to the detriment of my personal life. I am at a point in my life where I am ready to devote the time necessary to foster and build a successful relationship. I am well educated and well traveled. Family and friends are extremely important to me. I am one of those terminally happy and positive people and i believe true love is a friendship gone wild.
My ideal match is intelligent, educated (school or life), caring, affectionate, kind, has a wonderful sense of humor, loves to laugh, is comfortable at high-end event or in a corner bar listening to live music. She can dress up or throw on a t-shirt and jeans and head out. I want someone with a real passion for life, who is extremely positive, great sense of humor, who is confident enough to be kind and nurturing and really does see life as an adventure. I want a relationship built on trust, honesty, open communication and a deep, genuine affection and respect for each other.
I am new to SF so I am open to meeting new people even if we may not seem like the "one" for each other. You can never have too many good friends.

Meet men and women from United States. I'm a low-key, private kind of individual. Friends describe me as a goofy guy, head square on shoulders, and a man of my word.
I'm not shy at letting someone know how I feel about them and I especially enjoy surprising a woman with sweet gestures. It would be great if she could show consideration and appreciation in her own way. I get really turned off when I feel like I'm being taken for granted.
Unsolicited hugs, pecks on the cheeks, locking hands, and displays of warm affection are all necessary ingredients for putting a smile on the face of the person you love.
Practicality is more important than material items but a few nice things are ok. I like to place more emphasis on good communication, healthy lifestyle, and a fun spirit.
I believe that magic exists between 2 people only when it is reciprocal. Romance, intimacy, and thoughtfulness should take place not just on holidays or birthdays but throughout the year.

Meet a soulmate from San Francisco, United States. Enjoy strong coffee, brunches and dark beer. Play in a city soccer league. Originally from the east coast, but grew up mostly in California. Love to hike, ski, and surf, though I have a lazy streak. Surprisingly good dancer. Fan of the Cal Bears and March Madness. Like reading history books and paying a couple extra bucks to have a good seat. Think vacuuming is totally easy. Don't have cable, but watch my share on Netflix. Enjoy the word awkward. Taught English in Japan once upon a time, later worked for a Congressman in DC, and spent a summer at a non-profit in Alaska working for Native Americans.
Be great to meet a smart and fun woman who is active, up for travel and adventures, and can teach me a thing or two. A nice smile would work as well.

Date someone special from San Francisco, United States. Hello,
My friends describe me as a calm and loving person . I am business man in san francisco looking to meet someone with potential for the future.
I love to go out to restaurants and experiece different types of cooking, i appreciate good food and go out at least 2-3 times a week .
I love Ballroom dancing but i do enjoy good hip hop, but I am also happy with simple pleasures of life like walking on the beach or picnic in the park.
I am gratefull to have lived by the beach for the last 10 years where i can find quiet moments when i need it.

Meet people from San Francisco, United States. It seems as though everything has led up to this day. I suppose we are all products of our experience and choices, the good and the bad. Life is a series of joys, trials, tribulations, obstacles and ideally ultimate happiness.
I want to spend my life with a woman who has overcome adversity and grown from her experience. To me, that is what constitutes true beauty. It may sound cliched, but I'm convinced that we are better measured by the way we respond to adversity than the manner in which we meet success.
I am professional, successful, spontaneous, fun and open-minded. I strive to keep a good balance in my life between work and play.
I work as an equity analyst for a regional brokerage firm. Please feel free to ask me exactly what that means :-). My job keeps me busy and engaged, which heightens the value of leisure time well spent. Fortunately, SF affords ample opportunity for all types of wonderful activities. Care to join me?
I adore being outdoors. I'm athletic, energetic and always up for an adventure. It could be a Saturday morning yoga class, mountain bike ride or impromptu camping trip; count me in.
I am also cultured, well traveled and sophisticated. It would be wonderful to find a woman who complements me.
I haven't dated a lot in the last couple of years and it feels like time to re-enter the fray. I am emotionally available and I'm ready to be with the right person.
I would be thrilled to meet a smart, successful, professional woman who knows herself well. I am attracted to people who are mature, wise and self aware. There is nothing more alluring than a confident, assertive woman.

Date single man from San Francisco, United States. Smart man looking for bright woman, it's more fun that way. :-) I'm never bored (the exceptions are interesting too), I range from T to tux in activities/clothing articles, and relate to people of all walks of life. I grew up bilingually, have family and close friends overseas as well, including uberfabulous nephews and a very special goddaughter. I enjoy being, doing, giving back, and want to share life with the right person. And by sharing I mean experiences from S to XL (it's a metaphor), laughter on an ongoing basis plus occasional overdose (it's a metaphor), and maybe even my desserts (it's open to interpretation).
I'm looking for a match with that je ne sais quoi who is passionate in life and love, has a good heart beyond cholesterol and a cute smile. Other green flags: good at what she does, feminine, trusting but not stupid, naturally curious, mischievous, sensitive/strong, international background or experience.
Kids: I love children, can definitely see myself having one or two, or three or four :-) , and I would be a great dad (the modesty!), yet I will be equally happy with or without. That will depend on her and us - what matters most to me is a happy healthy relationship. I thought about that one, so I mean it.
What else? Crackling chemistry, including mental chemistry (very important), and being open to and with each other. The hope - and if it works out the commitment - to find ourselves looking into each others' eyes many years from now still feeling very much at home, growing and blessed. Cheers to that!!

Meet men and women from San Francisco, United States. I'm a man of diverse talents, I would say that is my biggest strength: balance in all facets of my life. Work hard and play hard, everyone says that but really can you keep up on either front. Dont worry, its not a contest anyway. Life is about having fun and sharing it with people you love or even like a lot. I serve on a board of directors for a political associaton based in SF, and conversely a fairly well- known Burning Man camp. =Balance. I have a large circle of friends, so there is always something to do or event to attend, but I'm looking for my queen who supercedes the importance of all the social events. I've traveled extensively and lived in other countries. I traveled more before I was 18 than anyone I've ever met. You see the world with different eyes w/that kind of experiece, it strengthens you by giving you some perspective.
