Date men and women from United States / California / Scotts Valley - page 2

Date a man from Scotts Valley, United States. It’s rare to see me without a smile on my face. At least that’s what my friends tell me. I firmly believe our attitudes and reactions have a great impact on what type of life experience we have. I’m very mindful that this journey is temporary and that the time to enjoy it is NOW. I love life and seek an energetic, positive partner who does too. I’m a happy man and I’ll be even happier when I find her!!
I’m a single dad devoted to my two sons. One lives here and the other lives in Colorado. Family is a top priority for me, and I look for a match who feels the same way.
I look forward to many long conversations with my match as we get to know each other. We’ll share anecdotes about our lives, express our ideas and opinions and reveal our plans for the future. I believe if the chemistry is right between us, our friendship will quickly turn into something more committed and intimate.

Meet single man from California, United States. I am so blessed with so many great friends and good memories in life. I worked hard, played, made some mistakes, embraced and moved on with life. Thank God, I can look back and laugh at myself, and say to myself, "Did I really do that!” I do not take life so serious or pretend to be important.
Whether you are looking for a permanent relationship a this time remains a mystery to me, but I do know is that I would seriously enjoy some spirited cafe coffee, lunch or dinner conversation with someone interesting, self-assured and unaffected. The very worst thing that could happen is that we would have a good time.
I have never been concerned not to live and enjoy life treasures, cherish and embrace it with passion in every season of life with vigor and constant humor. Our seasons are just too short for nothing less! I never want my internal flow of humor, and continued memories of fun mannerism of a full life, and youthful life experiences to be arrested... on the contrary, I want to be a man who has given himself a chance of continuing to develop long after some adults have muffled themselves in the cocoon of middle age habits and conventions.
I am seeking a soul-mate companion that becomes my best friend for life and my intimate loving partner. It would be wonderful to meet a new partner that can remember back going to a drive-in and kissing in the back seat and having fun, who is lively, passionate, creative, sexy, playful, great wit, mischievous, a sparkle in her eyes, and a readiness to laugh at herself, and has loved and lost at least once so you know you never want to lose again.
Also, I have had the privilege to be a single parent and raised my son from a very young baby. I am very thankful for that experience. It has been powerful, profound and a great journey!
My Family in my profile as you can see, I am very proud of my son’s accomplishment in becoming a productive and sensitive young man with values and will enable him to make positive contribution to our society. My son played sports, is an accomplished surfer, was a foreign exchange student in Argentina, graduated from San Diego State, recently married to a great young lady and he teaches high school. She is Physiologist Youth Counselor for troubled teens. Also, I have the privledge now becoming a first time grandfather this year. I have a beautiful daughter, she is my sweetheart, full of life, and gives me that sparkle that glows in my heart everyday. She plans to be a sport announcer. She is a trip of joy and love. She currentlly attends the University of Pacific.
Most importantly for my new partner is jointly embracing respectful communications, and always be truthful to each other. We strive never to be a fair weather couple and seek a continued enjoyment for passion in life, not be afraid in making some mistakes, taking risk as life presents itself with maturity, inner strength, plus willing to take a stand, be the real stuff, and be proud of our relationship everyday. Also, liking yourself to give, and not always expecting something back in return. That would be a great lady in my eyes… because it works, both ways, and I would do the same!
I am seeking a new chapter in my life that includes moving on with our lives together, including sharing common values with humor, honesty, respect, intimacy, love, kindness and venture out for new growth, including a passion for life, and most importantly an adventure that made a difference for the both of us.
Also, I'm looking for my 'new best friend' and to experience my 'last first kiss'. I would like to grow with someone, to have a 'last true love', and a lifelong partner and friend, to cherish, and to laugh with; who has the capacity to allow and accept one another's differences/ vulnerabilities and strengths during good/bad times, who always has a positive supportive encouraging attitude. Together, we will take a chance to be in love... and we'll sail on a wonderful new lifelong journey!

Date people from Scotts Valley, United States. Hi my name Chuck! I am looking for a conscious, thoughtful, loving, humorous woman who enjoys classical music, jazz, art museums, yoga, staying fit, traveling to warm climates, and just has a real positive, caring and loving attitude toward other people.
I really love your warm-hearted description of yourself and your values. I am looking for a mutually supportive relationship with a savvy woman who is commited to being a friend and lover, a woman who is able to express her feelings and at times be vulnerable, a woman who is empathetic and compassionate, and a woman who is willing to problem solve issues with me as they arise. I feel more loving and deeply connected to a partner when we are able to deeply listen to each other and practice mindful skills together, with the help sometimes of periodic and appropriate doses of humor.
For fun-
I enjoy working out at the gym four times per week, which includes attending yoga three times per week.Ballroom dancing at Sherl Burke Dance in Mountain View has been a long source of enjoyment for me. Movies(entertaining and romantic) ,reading, dining out, entertaining friends and family and traveling are activities I always make time for.
Education-
I received a masters in clinical psychology and have been self employed successfully for the past 15 years as a licensed Marriage Family Therapist. Teamwork is music to my ears! I teach couples how to learn and use conscious communication skills, and encourage them to work as a team in managing their children. A lot of my work with clients involves teaching them how to brainstorm solutions to their problems. Most importantly, I assist couples in learning how to live in a conscious ,thoughtful relationship, putting each other in high regard.
Dining out-
I frequent Max's Opera House Cafe in S.F. as it has live piano music and singing by the staff. Mocha Cafe on Maiden Lane in downtown S.F., sitting outside on a Saturday afternoon listening to jazz has been a long time pleasure for me.
Symphony and Musicals- I regularly attend the S.F. Symphony, sometimes on the Opening Night Gala and on New Years Eve. Other times I atttend the Silicon Valley Symphony. I enjoy jazz in S.F. and the jazz festival in San Jose every August. I thouroughly enjoyed seeing Lisa Vroman perform in Phantom of the Opera in S.F. I continue to find the messages in Cabaret spiritually uplifting,especially the message about coming to the cabaret and enjoying life. Reading-
I have the deepest respect for the commitment and courage of Nelson Mandella, as illustrated in his book,The Long Walk to Freedom. I am inspired by how Ted Kennedy allowed his wife, Victoria Reggie to become his True Compass. She helped learn to accept and express his feelings, a practice not allowed by his father, Joe Kennedy.
The Art of Happiness written by Howard Cutler, M.D. continues to inspire me to learn some of the beliefs of the Dalai Lama,ie,cultivating positive states of kindness, compassion toward others, and tolerance and patience toward myself. Regarding compassion- I continue develop deeper understanding toward the clients I see in my office who were born in different countries throughout the world. I continue to learn from them, so that I can help them. Currently I am rereading Getting the Love You Want, A Guide for Couples by Harville Hendrix,Ph.D. I am using it with motivated couples.
Meeting you- It would be an honor to meet you, even if you have already met the man of your dreams through Match. Com.

Meet a man from United States. Like all manner of activities. Hot tubbing, swimming, tennis, biking, dining, dancing, shopping, interior decorating, cosmology, music, performing arts, ballet, opera, symphony, flying, hot air balloons, gliding, snuggling, smootching, etcetera. Like exchanging my timeshare twice a year for weeks in exotic places. Just returned from Phuket, Thailand and am still vibrating from an elephant ride and plan going to Hawaii soon.

Date people from California, United States. I am a natural pioneer with the daring and courage to risk uncharted territory. I fight the battles, break the ice, and pave the way for those who follow. To most people I appear direct, straightforward, assertive, and usually completely aboveboard in all my dealings. I project a confidence that may sometimes appear arrogant to others and they see me as being much stronger than I usually feel I really am but I've got the heart of a mountain-climber and the mind of an entrepreneur.
You are a timeless beauty who thinks the most fun thing that two people can have together is to build things from the ground up. Personally, I don't need to be hip and cool because I'm strong and smart :) You, I hope, don't need to break the rules because you make the rules. We're both far from perfect, and that's the way we like it. Our vices are more useful than most people's virtues. So if you are ready to rule the world together just send me a note..

Meet a woman from United States. I am curious about the world around me. I am passionate, restless, spontaneous, a bit of an adrenaline seeker, prefer to be outside, love traveling, music, laughing and spicy food. I find it important to show the people in my life that they matter.
I am seeking someone that is passionate about life and the person they are with, someone that believes there is always more to learn and wants to explore different places near and far. A high level of confidence, compassion, quick wit, an entrepreneurial spirit and adventure are always attractive to me.
On a side note if you're shorter than 6', into crocs, country music or hawaiian shirts, we're probably not a match.

Date men and women from United States. I have read a lot of profiles and we all say we are looking for that special someone. We look at photos to see if there is that spark that feeling that makes you want to send an email. So here I am hoping to meet someone who has a similar mindset and common interests we could enjoy together.
I am a very romantic and passionate women so the man in my life also needs to be romantic. A sense of humor is a must because life is meant to be FUN. I like to embrace life and go with it. Even the ups and downs.
My life is very blessed with family, friends, career and a home. I'm not looking for a man to complete me, I am looking for a man that wants to enjoy life with me. I'm hoping this new journey will find me friendship and maybe love.
First Date: I think the best first dates are very casual. Coffee,glass of wine,beer on the beach and great conversation to see if that spark is there for the next time.

Meet a woman from United States. I love to dance, salsa is my current passion. You can find me out dancing a few nights a week. Friends and family are important to me and one day, my partner will be my best friend, lover and someone to share thoughts, dreams and adventures both physical and intellectual. I want to deeply connect with my partner on every level. I am intense and passionate and a sparkle bunny!! I have old fashioned family values but a very, very open mind. It is important for me that my partner and I are dedicated to one another and to our own personal growth and to living a healthy lifestyle.
Love to cuddle and watch movies and surf the internet. I volunteer for an organization called TEDxSantaCruz and another organization called MISSSEY, helping young girls. Sunshine is like a happiness drug for me : ). I enjoy finding new hiking trails in the mountains as well as exploring big cities. I enjoy cookine, almost as an art and also love to eat out. I eat very healthy, fresh food, mostly organic, but also love desserts, especially COOKIES.
I teach Bikram Yoga (hot yoga) and if you have a yoga practice or would like to learn, that would be super awesome! I love my job and can talk for hours about yoga and love to "play yoga" on the living room floor with like minded friends. Acro yoga anyone?
I like electronic music, down-tempo the most.
Also listen to R&B, Hip-Hop, Trip-hop, deep house, classical, soft rock, some mainstream like Sting, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Frou Frou, Maroon 5, some 80's & 90's pop, but really don't like hard rock or jazz at all.
I am attracted to intelligence, honesty, strength, charm and playfulness. I prefer to spend my time with compassionate, open minded people. Confidence and intelligence matched with a fit and healthy mind and body turn me on, but chemistry trumps most all of that!!
I am happy to date, make new friends, learn new ideas, but eventually, I hope to fall madly in love, and spend the rest of my life with just one man. I am very playful, you will rarely find me discussing politics, however, I do have some opinions: Gay marriage, abortion, yes, of course. National Health care, I hope so.
Things I enjoy:
yoga, cooking, music, dancing, gardening, debating, rock climbing, bike riding, hiking, movies, frisbee, deep connected relationships, electronic music, ping pong, BBQ's with friends/family, sunshine, symphonies, live comedy, home projects, web surfing, waterfalls.

Date men and women from Scotts Valley, United States. I am an adventurous, passionate, high energy, horse crazy nature gal who is most of all a spiritual seeker. l walk to my own beat, love living life to the max and taking the road less traveled along the way. I have a happy life. The only thing missing (?) is the right man to share the joy and learning along the journey. Til then - I'm just soaring on my own:)
I believe our lives are a path of self-discovery and growth - an opportunity to expand make things better. One person CAN make a difference. That's why I'm pausing my consulting business to create a non profit foundation to support special needs, at-risk and just plain kids on their journey to an Unstoppable life!
I am an independent thinker, an open book communicator, fiercely loyal, always honest, high integrity, do what I say, say what I mean woman. I am open to exploring the new and different. I was raised by a southern mom, so I have the girlie nesting side to me. I love being all girl. I was also an only child to a dad who wanted a boy - I had my 1st fishing pole at 3, pony at 5, rifle at 6, golf clubs too. I even bait my own hook:)
I love horses. I am honored to be the two-legged for Pearli, my working cow horse, Shadow, my Morgan trail horse and Maverick, a wild mustang rescued from the BLM horrors. I show Pearli as a working cow horse, camp n trailride with Shadow and Maverick all over California (as far away as Monument Valley this past May), and we're all jumping these days! I also live with Diego the Wonder Dog who is my constant companion.
I started skiing at 40 and by 45 I was skiing anything at Squaw - including the Peak and Palisades. Passion DOES fuel learning! I love anything around the water...2nd best to being on a horse:) Im a dive master and paddle my kayak Sky. And I want to learn to surf! I enjoy any kind of music (except rap), play the piano and love to sing. I golfed to a 12 handicap til about 10 years ago, but haven't hit a ball since. So much to do, so little time.
I've spent a lot of time going strong in business and traveling (Ran a biz in Europe from CA for 3 years, what was I thinking?) plus traveling all over the world for sport - Himalayas, Greenland, Costa Rica, Galapagos, Islands everywhere- if there was diving, skiing, climbing, trekking or flying - I've been there. I am so blessed!
Which is probably why these days one of my fave things to do is stay home with loved ones and chat about life n the pursuit with a great glass of wine, yummy morsels and music to match the mood. But I'm happy to be out and about ...simply depends on the day and the time...and the company.
I love to laugh and one of my biggest pleasures in life is helping others to laugh, too. Mostly at me, myself and I. And my kids. Laughter is such a great gift - we should all do it more often!
I have a super life - I am blessed beyond my wildest dreams. I'm happy. Only thing to add is the right guy to share life's magic, enjoying the flow with laughs and smiles and sharing - as true partners in this lovely amazing journey. So, if you want to explore that grin that crossed your face as you read my profile - let me know. If you didn't grin, no worries:) Smiles til I hear from you or good luck with your search if I don't.
luv n light
