Date men and women from United States / California / Solana Beach, 45 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm a originally a small town boy raised in the Midwest but have been living in San Diego since '92. I still have small town values, a positive attitude, a great sense of humor and a charming personality... to compliment my stunning good looks. ;)
Currently, I work with the military as a subject matter expert/field service rep for unmanned aircraft and I'm also a licensed helicopter pilot. I graduated from Northern Il University where I was an Electrical Engineering major and a Physics minor and am now considering a Masters degree in counter-terrorism. I am extremely active, adventurous and bit of a thrill seeker. I take great care of myself, weight training regularly and practicing martial arts (Krav Maga) when time permits. I enjoy mt. biking, hiking and trail running, among many other activities. I am willing to try almost anything once and, even if it hurts the first time, I may still try it again. I am very social, love to travel, love to meet new and interesting people and close, personal friendships are extremely important to me. I am definitely a “renaissance man.” (Look it up girls, it doesn't mean I do renaissance faires) Like most other men with testosterone, I dig motorcycles, fast cars, football, UFC and pro bull riding but I also like art, the performing arts, I like to dance and LOVE margaritas. Until recently, I volunteered with Project Wildlife rehabbing injured and orphaned crows. It was incredibly rewarding but, unfortunately, priorities change. I never take myself too seriously and often can't help but make fun of myself... I'm such an easy target. I believe that life is about living. It’s about experiencing everything that can be experienced. It’s about enjoying the people you’re with and being thankful for the time you have. I am ambitious and driven but nothing is more important than health and happiness. Balance is everything.
You? I am looking for a woman who is happy with herself and comfortable with who she is. Just seeing her face makes me smile. She is easy going, educated, stable and has a certain amount of independence. She is adventurous, outgoing, fun and not afraid to get dirty once in a while. Hopefully she shares my passion for staying in shape and living a healthy lifestyle. Finally, although it's not the deciding factor, I would like to meet a woman who is at least interested in starting a family.
Lastly, I am 5' 8". I'm sorry to mislead but I don't show up on many searches if I don't claim to be 5' 10" and I am sure that you wouldn't want to overlook me... would you? Fortunately, I make up for those two inches with perseverance and enthusiasm. :)

Enjoy going to dinner and a movie. looking for a kind and patient man who loves to cook and enjoy fine wine. I like when a man takes control of a sticky situation, and likes a little handy work, I'm a lady, but I like to get my hands dirty too. Iike my teens say YOLO," you only live once" So here I am on a dating site :)

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Please stay tuned while I update this part of my profile....
I recently moved back to San Diego after spending 4 years in Portland. I realize that San Diego is my home even though I was born and raised in Oregon. I have a new found appreciation for living in this paradise.
Once the physical attraction part is taken care of...I am looking for a gentleman.
I get creeped out by the naked bathroom photos and car photos taken while driving is just weird. If you have one, I won't respond and may consider blocking. I also will not respond to members that have no photos because my first thought is...what are you hiding?

Meet people from California, United States. My friends describe me as a compassionate, loyal, and encouraging woman who is confident, smart, funny, sweet, and a kind. I travelled around the world and ended up here where i graduated from Ai with a graphic design, advertising / marketing degree.
I love architecture, landscape and interior design. I love mid century modern design and furniture. Remodeling and drawing autoCAD, sketch-up. On my free time i paint abstract art mostly, plant succulents, Photographing, hang out with my friends for Happy Hour, Wine tasting, Hiking, or something else near the ocean which is very close by. I spend a lot of time in Los Angeles where one of my childhood friend lives. I like it there, but I'm not sure I would trade the north county San Diego for LA city life.
My Match: I like funny guys, I enjoy dark comedy movies. sarcasm. But not all the time. That could be annoying.
I like romantic, gentlemen. But still confident enough to leave me space to enjoy girl time. Possessiveness and jealousy is a silent killer in my opinion. I believe a good foundation of trust is a key to a good relationship. Balance...A supportive, compassionate, trusting, loyal, generous, fun, resourceful, hard working man that takes time for us. Nothing sweeter than a guy that knows you well enough to know how you like your coffee, your style, favorite ice cream etc. That would be the first thing I would research for my guy.

Date someone special from California, United States. "About me" and "who I'm looking for" seem to pretty much go hand-in-hand for me. I seem to be attracted and attract like-minded people whether it be in friends, relationships, or business. So, this is me, and am looking for someone similar, without needing to be exactly the same...
Adventurous. Fun. Eclectic. Family Oriented. Business Oriented. Particular. Dedicated. Active. Athletic. Energetic. Passionate. Loving. Faithful. Charismatic. Grounded. Educated. Goal-oriented. Open-minded. Spiritual. Creative. Independent.
Two active, bright daughters, 6 & 8, keep me on my toes. Recently became one of the assistant coaches for my oldest's little league team...so fun and adorable! Yes, baseball, not softball. Friiends like to tease by calling me a "stage mom," though the reality is that I am my little one's very laid back talent manager. Since her infant years she was a natural in front of the camera, and it seems to be paying off for her modeling regularly for a top retailer.
Athletics have always played a role in my life as a player, manager, or a coach. I grew up playing softball and basketball, and then went on to coach up to a high school level. After quite a few knee surgeries over the years, I am back to feeling healthy, and exercise nearly daily. And, yes, I am one of those women who are as comfortable in their athletic shoes (of whatever sort) as I am in my array of 4-5" heels :-)
Travel has been a lifelong necessity, and seems to bring a level of clarity, even on a day trip. Some of my favorite places include Sedona, AZ, Paris, and Siena, Italy. I was born and raised outside of Detroit. Spent some time in DC, and lived in Vegas for over 15 years. According to my sister, I was a showgirl, then a lap dance instructor. My actual occupations fell under management & training for major hospitality corporations, and I owned my own crystal design company for quite a few years. After spending years in the hospitality industry, I seem to know my way around the kitchen, a wine cellar, a cocktail/beer list, and most menus. Don't be fooled...I LOVE finding joints and dives.
My girls mean the world to me, though I keep a balance of being a mom and a woman. I must admit I did have a hard time trading in my Mustang GT for an SUV. As for a relationship, I am looking for an equal. Someone who has a passion for life and everything they do. Someone who lives a life of honesty and integrity. Someone who has their own goals, wants to grow as a couple, and is confident to share themselves. Isn't it amazing to see the couples who only get better over the years along with the support they have for one another? THAT is the relationship I want.
