Date someone special from Santa Barbara, United States. I am one of five children, right in the middle, of loving, late parents who met in junior high school and stayed together the rest of their lives. I am still inspired by their loving hearts, and their dedication to their family, community and church. I grew up in Pacific Palisades, CA and have lived in Santa Barbara since 1972. My main occupation is Painting Contractor, and I worked locally as a Hang Gliding flight instructor and tandem (two people on one extra large glider) pilot for 20 years, providing over 800 tandem instructional flights locally over that time. These days my time is occupied by service to my faith community, music, and housepainting.
I'm a man of faith who loves life, and the joy of sharing the love. I started playing guitar at age 15, and mostly play music with friends, although I've played out a bunch....acoustic folk/rock, bluegrass, sacred music, and classic rock.
I'm looking for a woman who shares a broad spirituality, whose emotional and psychic nature runs deep; and who is fun-loving, easy-going, and at peace with herself. A woman who gets who I am, and who knows that I get who she is, at the soul level.

Date someone special from California, United States. I am an active senior looking for someone in their 40's or 50's. Looking for someone to share my interests in gardening, antique restoration, and camping/fishing. I like to cook at home and watch classic movies. Do not appreciate the performing arts too much.
Meet a man from California, United States. Hi, my name is Michael, I'm an easy-going guy who has lived here in Santa Barbara ever since arriving at UCSB in April of 1970
I have been self-employed most of my life. For the past 22 years I have been manufacturing and selling a tool that I invented, to tractor companies. I think of it, as functional art.
Having personal free time is what I treasure. I love awaking in the morning at whatever time I wish (or to be awakened by the phone to write an order, no matter how early that may be) is fine too.
Being alive and having good health is a gift, that I give thanks for every day. I want to share this life adventure with a woman who knows that life is a gift and understands it really only happens in the present moment. Chemistry is very important and getting along, being at ease with one another is just as important.
I'm sensual and emotionally available. Honest, kind and thoughtful. Passionate Kisses...
I'm easy to get along with and a good listener. Making dinner together and doing the dishes is enjoyable. Walking on the beach and talking or holding hands and being silent, taking in the beauty of the sky & ocean; feeling connected to the oneness of it all by the sand beneath our feet. One of my favorite sights to behold is seeing the moon and the sun together in the daytime sky. It is so easy to see the relationship of the moon circling the earth while the earth circles the sun and then to be dazzled by the night sky. We are stardust blessed with consciousness, able to perceive that we are blessed and connected with the earth and one another through love.
Life, like love, is a dance that only happens in the moment, in sync one with another in time with the music, one present-time moment strung with another. Are you out there? Do you want to dance?

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I am looking for a lifetime partner who has her own unique combination of a number of the qualities outlined below. Ultimately, like most men, I am looking for emotional fulfillment, attention, security, intimacy, sexual satisfaction, and deep friendship. I am not looking for perfection. I'm no god or Adonis, and you don't have to be Aphrodite.
My ideal mate is a dreamy dichotomy of many qualities:
She is physically attractive and vivacious, realistic and grateful, a good listener and self-aware, trustworthy and reliable, energetic and playful, decisive and adventurous, sassy and humorous, sensuous and sexual, intelligent and open minded, emotionally and physically healthy, psychologically balanced and sensitive, confident and independent, thoughtful and forthright, emotionally expressive and spontaneous, irreverent and spunky, socially astute and extroverted, curious and experimental, physically fit and curvy, monogamous and loyal, and sophisticated yet wild. My ideal woman is fairly well traveled and aware of the world, a child and music lover, a dance enthusiast, a seeker of beauty, a lover of nature, sparkly eyed, and financially secure. She does not need an affluent or materialistic lifestyle.
I am aware that this dreamy fantasy image I described above lies well beyond reality. It is an Ideal. My expectations are more realistic.
If you are curious, then contact me. Only through exploring one another can we discover whether or not sparks fly.
Date someone special from United States. I am a 56 year young single man who is finally coming to terms with the fact that I will never meet Miss Right waiting for her to walk into my life. I have tried that and been wrong. I think I would like to meet someone in this abstractly anonymous way and have some introductory conversations leading to an eyes-on meeting. Mystery and control together? I am looking for a lady friend who would prefer not to either become or create a love hostage. I live where I work and also feel that long live-apart relationships can lead to much better situations. Also I feel that if I hyphonate one more time I will explode.
Meet a man from United States. I'm looking for a partner to share my rather optimistic outlook on life. I believe that the key to a great relationship is communications and putting your partner's needs first...when that happens, both enjoy "love". I am totally honest, faithful, and worship my spouse as if she came from another planet. I would like to share my little house with someone who views me in much the same manner! "Sense of humor" is far more important to me than looks, attire, cars, or whatever it is that some think makes them superior to others. . I am not your type if you are: a Republican, believe that god(s) is (are) directing traffic, introverted, conventional, significantly overweight, combative, argumentative, or you have major "issues" you expect your spouse to deal with and/or solve. I am your type if you: want a bonded partner for life, .... still have sexual and sensual energy to spare, don't smoke cigs. (or want to quit), have a "creative" mindset, love to laugh about everything and nothing, have a scientific attitude towards life, are curious about the "whys" of the universe, and realize your own insignificance in the "big picture of life". Drop me a line.... I promise to reply.My "match" is a woman who is open to embracing life and me, a tad non-conventional... at times, , but needing a principle "sidekick" in life. She doesn't have to be a "10" physically, but she must understand what makes a guy physically motivated and what doesn't. I treat every day as "it"...can't stand women who won't "jump in" and try the water...otherwise, it's a "catch 22", as I can't explain what it's like to be in my world...you will have to jump-in with me, and find-out for yourself. Ideally, my mate would be college educated (a degree in science-related matters would be a "plus", but not required).. She should be comfortable with occassional nudity, as my lifestyle reflects a calm and nonchilant attitude towards the largest organ in the body. She should be independent, yet capable of intense emotional bonding with her partner in life.
