Meet a man from Santa Barbara, United States. I am in a comfortable place in my life,living in Santa Barbara, looking at the ocean and islands, reading and enjoying nature but would like to share with some special.
I have lived in many different places/countries but really like SB, I've been here 20 years.
My friends say I have a GREAT sense of humor and that I'm a fantastic cook (I concur). I have an outdoor kitchen (why lived in such a beautiful place and not take advantage of the ocean and mountain views) as well as a BBQ grill built in the dining room (think I like to cook?)
Murder mystery parties are my specialty, they're really fun so long as you get the right mix of people.
I am romantic and look for that in a special person.
Date someone special from Santa Barbara, United States. I have a zest for life. I think everybody who has experienced the ups and downs of life can attest to the triumphs and struggles we all face. I have made it my mission to learn and grown from those and make the most of things- enjoying things as small as a sunset to the shrimp plates at Rose's Cafe, to most important thing of all, spending time w/ my family and friends.
I am looking for a thoughtful, considerate and kind person who is curious about life and seeks the same in others.
I am most passionate about helping others and have dedicated my life to it. I have spent many hours, days, and months on the computer writing five books: all of which focus on making the most of every moment.
Meet a soulmate from Santa Barbara, United States. Lets see now, I am a very direct and intelligent person. I am romantic and playful. I do not do small talk.. I lived in Scandinavia for many years. I learned there to really appreciate bright and very independent women.. I love sharing with those I care about and I also savor private time. I am stable emotionally and financially and seek the same in a lady. I have always appreciated our natural world and been involved in protecting it and enjoying it and all the critters that live on this planet, especially the great predators. This is not a hobby for me but an integral part of who I am. I share my time now between Santa Barbara and a place in Montana (summers). I am also helping my parents, ages 91 and 93.. I hope this all doesn't sound too stiff? I am quite comfortable with myself but really don't like talking about Me.. so there you are :-) ... oh, anyone out there as excited as I am about the Cosmos? Black holes, Supernovas, nebulae, quantum physics? photos of me are current
Date single man from California, United States. I have been fortunate for the last several years to have lived and worked on a sailing yacht that has taken me around the world and is currently in Vancouver, BC. This trip will end in Chula Vista, Ca., in early to mid September, and I am very interested in finding a woman the share the adventure my life has become
Having lived most of my life outdoors, the majority of activities I enjoy exist there. Photography, fishing, boating, biking, hiking, and barbecues with friends are a few (not necessarily in that order) , choosing 2 hours sitting on a beach talking versus watching the latest version of Mad Men and a warm sofa. I do enjoy movies and music and a nice conversation though and for that the sofa sounds pretty inviting.
I think of myself as a warm, affectionate, and honest person. I value directness in communication and offer the same. I also find real pleasure in life's humorous situations, which includes laughing at myself, and avoid drama as often as possible. Although I expect nothing in particular, and am not looking to change anyone, I do deeply appreciate personal generosity and honesty.
I cannot promise to walk off into the sunset together, forever, but I do promise many beautiful sunsets.
Meet a man from California, United States. I enjoy travelling and seeing all the world has to offer, however my home is in Santa Barbara, CA. All the facinating places that are filled with interesting people and cultures is a great attraction for me. I want to share these experiences with a special partner who can embrace my sense of wonder and enjoyment.
Music is key to my well being. I seek it out on many levels, but live entertainment is at the top of my list. Vocal harmony is closest to my heart. The human voice is truly a unique talent given to special people. Music is a universal language that can communicate across many barriers. The emotions expressed can be heartfelt and basic. Everyone can understand life in its most simple form.
Family and friends are what make life fulfilling. I enjoy those people that I gravitate to naturally and not because we are related. We need to share a common interest or feeling.
I'm an individualist and have my own practice as an architect. I enjoy my career and the freedom to make my own decisions. Design is in every aspect of our daily lives and uplifts those aware enough to appreciate it in any form. My quality of life is connected with this concept.
Any women interested in a serious relationship with me would need to relocate to Santa Barbara. I'm not interested in a long distance relationship, nor would I consider leaving my home of 30 years. Living in Hawaii part time, Boston part time and even Europe part time are appealling options to me if only I could make it a reality.
