Meet someone special from San Jose, United States. I am a hopeful romantic.
I believe that how you interact with your friends and family tells a lot about who you are as a person. Relationships are very important to me and I spend time and effort to nurture them. I've been told my social skills are very good. I regularly plan things for friends and family to get together. It is important to me to give back in my community and make a difference in the world. I also take time to smell the roses, and create opportunities for others to come along for the ride. Two of my passions are dancing and travel. I like dancing enough that I've taken lessons in salsa, ballroom and swing. Some of the places I've traveled to are France, Italy, Mexico, Jamaica, and will be in Australia in a few months. I recently bought a boat, and think someday I may sail the world. Maybe with you.
I am looking for a positive, caring woman, with a sense of humor, who likes being active. Chemistry and attraction, for me, is more based on personality. I'd like to get to know you and see where this goes.
Are you interested in coming along for a wonderful adventure?
If interested, let me know with a wink and I can take it from there.

I am looking forward to meeting a partner to share all the good things that life has to offer. I am attracted to a lady who leads a healthy,balanced lifestyle.

Meet someone special from California, United States. My priorities are about family, friends, outdoor fun and casual moments. I'd love to find new friends through match, but hopeful for a long term relationship and all that a great one can bring to one's life. My kids are still young, active and a lot of fun, and I follow the same approach in life. I coach sports and love to exercise, but not obsessively (I build a gym in the garage, so no excuses!) I'm down to earth, even keel, and an optimist who loves to do and try new things and support others. Live music, outdoor fun and exercise are high on the list, including weekend trips to Tahoe, heading to the beach, finding a hiking spot, catching the Giants, or coaching teams. I like to have a trip or events to look forward to, but also appreciate quiet times and just hanging out with someone special.
I grew up here in the Bay Area and have lived here most of my life. There are so many fun things to do, and I'm still finding them. So I love to check out new spots and enjoy the incredible space around us. It would be great to do that with a close friend and to look forward to seeing someone special - whether quiet evenings, finding new spots or weekend getaways. A good sense of humor and light heartedness are key for me, someone who finds humor easily and doesn't sweat the small stuff. If you can enjoy the moment, laugh at yourself and appreciate all that we have, we'll get along great. I leave work where it belongs, prioritize family and fun, and appreciate long term friendships.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Born in Berlin Germany I travelled to NY on a boat at age 4. I grew up, lived and worked in Yonkers NY until 1999. I need the sun and ocean and made my way to the bay area in CA for adventure, fortune, the wonders of nature, and a greater challange. I only worked for small emerging companies where I could make a difference and create and contribute something really significant. I am fluent in German and talk da unedjucated NYC english sometimes cause Im just a workin class plumber who dont know nothin about nothin. I had a plan B as a plumbers apprentice to pay my way through college and it comes in handy. I don't take myself or life seriously and see the irony and humor in life and have to laugh at the absurd, especially when things are challenging. If people say it's impossible I try to prove them wrong because I love to be challenged. I am very direct and prefer direct respectful "no pity" communication. It saves a lot of time because I choose not to be offended and can always learn from everyone I meet. I am no Mr Spock and my interests are very broad but I dig deep. Psychology, politics, religions, history, music, sociology, mathematics, electrical engineering, computer science, the financial markets, ... I like to be broad but with depth. Travelling, living in other countries with the locals, windsurfing, diving are also things I love. I am waiting to be introduced to something new. I am not a spectator and don't watch sports I do not play. I love to cook organic vegetarian ethnic foods but still love seafood. All in moderation, so when eating meat go for the best. Since a child I have been most at peace in nature so I love hiking, the ocean, and animals. Looks and money, the BMW, are irrelevent but poverty doesn't result in happiness either.
I appreciate the simple things in life that money cannot buy which I believe is the key to true happiness. My past education, awards and accomplishments are not important and I only look to the future and enjoy the present and strive to increase my level of true happiness. I am really just a simple plumber and need very little to be happy.
I will not describe the kind of woman I am looking for because I will only know
she is the one when I meet her. What we think we want is almost always very different from what we really need. I am on a never ending quest for increased true happiness, enlightment, and learning. It would be wonderful to have a fellow adventurer on my journey if that is meant to be.

Meet single man from California, United States. I am a professional who likes to travel, play golf, and go to the movies. I've been to Asia, Caribbean, Europe, Mexico, etc. I recently went to Tahiti. Moorea is one of my favorite places in the world. Stunning. Magical. Romantic. I would like to go back and stay in an overwater bungalow.
My next trip? Stay tuned.
Besides movies, I like to dance and go to great restaurants. Wine country is also cool. Napa is OK, but Sonoma is cool. Ever been to Gloria Ferrer?

I am a man with a heart of gold.
I do believe in love at first sight

I find that they are right. I have yet to find anyone that was not pleasantly surprised once they took the time to get to know me.

Although I don’t often have the chance to travel, when I can I do.

Meet someone special from United States. My two favorite words are also my themes I try to live by; 'passion' and 'compassion'. I enjoy opportunities to help others but I also have a passion for bettering myself in a variety of ways.
I have two cats! :-) I smile because I didn’t grow up as a "cat guy". A friend of mine gave me one and I have been hooked ever since. I love these two little furry guys very much. Actually, they are not so little! Buba is like a big tiger. I call him my "lion king"! Why did I spend so much time talking about these two felines? On a certain level, they have taught me what unconditional love is all about.
I can be found in antique stores more often than Nordstrom. I also love Costco!! ;-) I value the less fortunate, the underdog, and those who are passionate about helping others in their daily lives. I think life is about being a better person today than we were yesterday. The best way to do that is by giving and sharing with others.
I am a fan of music, sports, history, the stock market, real estate, current events, Asia and politics. My life is very good and just like many of you have said; the most important part of my life is missing; a wonderful sweetheart to spend eternity with. Who is she? Very simple. She lights up the room when she walks in. She inspires me to be a better person. She loves herself, her friends and her family.
That little boy in the picture is a child I met on one of my trips to China. He kept staring at me as if I was from outer space, so I walked up to him, gave him a 'high five' and took his picture. He is one very cute kid! I don't think there is a higher purpose in life than to create opportunities to raise the self esteem of a child.
Hey....... are these pictures of mine just the worst? Everyone I have met says I should get rid of my photographer because I look so much better in real life. I just can’t seem to say goodbye to those two cats I have spent so much time training to 'click and hold' that button on that Pentax!

Date a soulmate from United States. I'm more of a home-body but certainly enjoy going out.
When it comes to TV and reading I prefer documentaries on everything from science and nature to history and politics but love comedy also. Jon Stewart and his buddy Colbert. Obviously left leaning but not extreme.
I seek a compatible partner to share in all of life's little and big things.
ok about me. I worked in technology for the last few decades. It was fun, I earned the respect of many coworkers (very highly educated good people) whom I also respected. I have nothing left to prove in that area I made my contributions, I was the kind that when there was a problem, it was in my mind when I went to sleep and again when I woke up, I couldn't shake it until it was solved. The last such job involved a very toxic atmosphere and I was very glad when it was over. I've had a few good friends prematurely pass on to the next life and although it would be next to impossible to prove, the causes were job related.
Today I am very happy to be away from all that, the income is not the same sure but the peace of mind is more than worth it.
I have the time now to do the things I enjoy most, day to day and focus on health.
I enjoy most spending time with my boys and also building things with my hands.

Meet single man from United States. Its not about the money. I would like to be able to do stuff that cost next to anothing at times.
