Date men and women from United States / California / Sunnyvale, 37 year old

Date a man from California, United States. I'm an easy going guy looking for his easy going girl.
About me:
I've moved around alot - born in Tokyo, Japan -- Seoul, Korea -- Tucson, Arizona -- Rocky Point, Mexico -- Oahu, Hawaii -- Tucson, Arizona -- Claremont, California -- Kongju, Korea -- Los Angeles, California -- Tucson, Arizona -- Washington, DC -- New York, New York -- Washington, DC -- Reno, Nevada -- Sunnyvale, California -- ??
I'm not on the lam, I swear, its just kind of worked out that way. That said, I'm hoping to be in one place for a while.
While work keeps me indoors, I like to get outdoors, whether it just exploring a city, hiking local trails or playing golf. mostly recently though, its been golf and snowboarding mostly.
Who I'm looking for:
First, let me say, I'm not looking for someone that meets some detailed laundry list of characteristics. When you're clicking, you know, you know? That said, in the past, I've gotten along best with people who share with me a natural curiosity about life and people and enjoy trying new and different things. I think that manifests itself in someone who is open, has a warm personality, an inviting smile, and is as comfortable with talking with haute cuisine foodies as she is with the guy on the corner looking for spare change.
.... oh yeah, and also banter. there has to be banter. witty banter. like at the end of a newscast. just kidding. maybe.

Meet single man from California, United States. The Bay Area has been my home for the last 30 years. I love it here. Everything is within driving distance. I can’t imagine living anywhere else. Family is very important to me. I would do anything for them. I have a loyal companion. His name is Gizmo. I use him to test new friends. If he likes you, then you’re in. I try to hike every sunny Saturdays. I would love to travel around the world and explore all the hidden paths.
I’ve been going solo for a while. I think it’s time to find a partner to share life’s adventures. I consider myself easy-going and funny. I’m a loyal friend and understanding companion. I’m easy to please and don’t ask much from a partner. Be fair and treat each other with respect. You know what they say, life is short. Why not make the most of it.
I'm looking for someone with similar interests and personalities. She doesn’t have to be a carbon copy. That would be too boring. I need someone to challenge and make each other a better person. I don’t like drama. Leave that on TNT. They know drama. I prefer someone who is open-minded, out-spoken, independent, and intelligent. I believe any good relationship requires honest communication and mutual respect for each other. I have a feeling 2012 will be a good year. So far so good, I hope to find someone to share the adventures and build a future.
*If you want a hiking partner, let's go. If you want something more, I'm up for the challenge. ll8)

Date someone special from California, United States. Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! I don't want to write an essay and would rather get to know you in person better, so here's a quick summary...
I think I am pretty well rounded. As far as hobbies, I am a regular at golf, basketball, tennis, snowboarding, billiards, watching movies, poker, being a foodie, traveling to new cities/countries, and attending concerts as well as sporting events.
I'm kind of quiet and shy at first but after you get to know me I'm really easy to get along with. I'm polite and considerate, and my friends would say that I am kind, loyal and down to earth. I will do anything for my family and friends. I especially love to laugh and joke around, there is nothing better than laughter. I like to hang out with friends, but I tend to stay out of the spot light. Instead of being the center of attention, I'd rather people watch.
As far as music, I listen to pretty much everything. I grew up listening to rock, RB and hip hop, when Michael Jackson was in his prime! I started DJ'ing at an early age, mostly hip hop and dance, but now I've really grown to love all music, and like to mix everything including house and electronic.
So what I am looking for? A loyal and independent woman who is confident but down to earth, out going but not too loud, open-minded but not careless, have a sense of humor, able to laugh, joke around and have a good time with me(I love watching stand up comics, comedies and sitcoms). She should be career oriented and financially responsible. Chemistry and compatible personalities are a must. If you are one of those 5 foot females looking for a 6 foot guy then sorry to disappoint you. But if you have similar interests and would like to chat sometime, let me know!

Meet men and women from California, United States. I love to cook. I have a pretty clean place. I don’t mind shopping. I'm not a fan of video games. Am not a sport fanatic. And I never forget birthdays and special occasions. Did I catch your attention yet?? Ha! In all honesty, this is all pretty much true.
So you may be asking why am I single? I’m single probably for the same reasons you are. While there are many great people out there, I’ve found it hard to meet that right person that I feel a “click” with. On the upside, being single has given me time to really know myself and to also know what I want in a significant other.
I’m looking for someone with a fun sense of humor, which is a big plus in my book. Someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously, is kind and lighthearted. I’m looking for someone who shares some of the same values and interests as I do. I very much appreciate the simple things in life and try not to take things for granted. I like to stay active, enjoy cooking (and eating!) and hanging out with friends. I can be a little shy initially, but warms up really quickly.
Most importantly, I try to always be the best version of myself. I'm looking for a long lasting relationship where we bring out the best in each other. I know all this is a little vague but how can you really know me without, well, getting to know me. Good luck in your search.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. My secret aspiration is to play and sing "Sweet Home Alabama" at a local British Pub, complete with Southern drawl. I just hope the folks there are too buzzed to notice that visually, I'm neither very British nor particularly Alabaman. Either way, the cultural confusion will be beautiful to behold. I've got an illicit love affair with Guiness and corned beef, celtic folk music makes me long wistfully for home, and there's that thing I have for redheads... I have no idea where this all comes from, Not a whole lot of people know this. My secret aspiration is to play and sing "Sweet Home Alabama" at a local British Pub, complete with Southern drawl. I'm just hoping the folks there are too drunk to notice that visually, I'm neither very British nor particularly Alabama-ish. Either way, the cultural confusion will be beautiful to behold. I've also got this illicit love affair with Guiness and corned beef, and celtic folk music makes me long wistfully for a home that I'd never known. And there's that thing I have for redheads... I have no idea where this all comes from, unless my great-great-grandma had a fling with U2 I didn't know about. Yes, all of them.
You'll notice right away that I'm easy-going and laid back. At least on the outside. Inside I'm feverishly pondering the meaning of existence, last night's Conan O'Brien monologue, and what I'm having for lunch. Introverted-extraverts have always been my favorite people... I know, that sounds like a oxymoron, but if you've ever been or known one, you know what I'm talking about.
I'm usually found strumming on the guitar, writing one unfinished song after another-- these misguided rock star aspirations need an outlet. Or sketching, working on an art piece, or doing a bit of creative writing, except I'm horrible at finishing what I start. I'm also trying to get through this stack of meaty books I've got piling up here on theology, philosophy, and what it really means to follow Jesus. And of course, there's Forensic and FBI Files on Discovery Channel when I find the time and the TV free, which lured me into flirting with the FBI for a job.
Guess I'm at a point in my life where I'm looking to live for someone other than me, and hoping to find the girl who I can love God in my loving her. So if you're a little bit sassy, a little bit feisty, and a little bit addicted to Law and Order, awesome.
Quippy conversation over caramel macchiatos or skydiving is a good start. We'll see what happens next.

Meet people from California, United States. I'm pretty laid back, like to relax and unwind with friends and family. Moved here from Hawaii a couple of years ago, but still relatively "new" to the area. I like to attempt to keep myself fit by exercising regularly (however, diet is usually the problem) and playing billiards and cards. My friends have described me as intelligent, sane and nice with a hint of sarcasm and rolled up in a nice sense of humor. I also have creative and romantic sides to me as well which you may find out later.
Ideally, I would like to find someone that I can share and experience new things with. As I stated earlier, I haven't had that chance to do many of the things Cali has to offer yet and would like someone to show me. Of course, it wouldn't be limited to Cali, I would also be akin to traveling abroad, etc. If you like my profile, just send me an e-mail. Aloha!

Date a man from Sunnyvale, United States. My friends say that I have a creative nature and a unique way of looking at things. But perhaps the creative side comes from an innate desire to build- to envision the possibility of creating something new with the drive to make it a reality.
I'm ambitious and love what I do for a living. However, I regard the closest people in my life as the most important part of my life. Life is about people to me- everything else is pretty much a constant. However, I do greatly enjoy booking down the slopes on a snowboard, playing beach volleyball, racing sailboats, and playing drums.
So, what am I looking for in a mate? She has to be naturally kind with a genuine personality. Intellect, friendly sarcasm, and a playful nature are turn-ons. I find confidence in someone knowing who she is and what she wants very attractive. If you're the romantic type who loves sharing adventures, it would be great to get to know you.

Meet single man from Sunnyvale, United States. Okay, after reading some other profiles, I thought I give more thought into mine. So, this whole online dating is new to me, i'm just a rookie; though i have some experiences of a veteran ha.
I'm definitely looking new friendships that can develop into meaningful relationships. The way I see it this- people are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within. That's basically a nutshell of a person who I like to share my everyday life. So let's start choppin' it- I don't mean getting an ax and chopping off trees in the woods- ha!

Date someone special from Sunnyvale, United States. I was in a store and heard the woman in front of me tell the cashier to have a great day. I thought that was awesome. Do you tell the cashier to have a great day?
I also like women who look forward to serving jury duty. Well, okay, maybe "look forward to" is a bit much. But someone who understands why it's important and actually cool that we have that responsibility.
About me...
Women like a man with a sense of humor, right?
I've got the sense of humor of ten men. And I'm not giving it back. Even if they ask nicely.
Women like tall guys, right?
I'm taller than the average bear. Well, taller than the average guy, anyway. I've never stood next to a bear, fortunately, and am too lazy to look on Wikipedia right now to find out how tall they averagely are. I'm also too lazy to look in the dictionary to find out if "averagely" is actually a word, but I'm pretty sure it's not.
Women value honesty and intelligence, right?
Well, to be honest with you, I'm pretty smart. (Humble too!)
What's your story?

Meet men and women from Sunnyvale, United States. I like going out whether its to a movie, for dinner, or a formal event, but I also appreciate those nights of just staying home, hanging on the couch with a good movie and the right person. I am interested in someone who wants to be in a committed relationship and who is marriage minded. I am looking for someone who is caring, smart, independent, and fun to spend time with. Someone capable of being a good companion, partner, and confidant.

Date a soulmate from United States. My friends would describe me as independent, successful, fun-loving, strong-willed, adventurous and energetic.
I moved to the bay area from the east coast about 15 years ago. Within a year, I found myself in a job that I really loved and realized that work, as insane as it can get, can also be fun. I count myself lucky enough to enjoy what I do and be successful at it.
I lead a busy life but firmly believe in balance. I take time every day to focus on myself by working out - it clears my head and helps me to recharge. So whether it's a run, lifting weights at the gym, a fitness class or yoga... I make the time.
I have 3 amazing kids who are a huge part of my life. They are with me most of the time and bring me joy, chaos, laughter and frustration on a daily basis.
I'm pretty much up for anything -- energy of a crowd can be just as fun for me as a sitting alone on a beach and just being. I tend to be curious by nature so will usually jump into anything new just for the experience. I'll ask a lot of questions because I'm a perfectionist and not afraid to fall on my face. Got to learn somehow, right? I have to admit that I'm fairly independent and not one to wait around for things to happen. I usually end up making things happen. Can't help it.
So if you've made it this far...
What I'm looking for is someone that I can love and respect. Someone who is as strong and established as I am. You got to know what you want in life and not be afraid to go after it. Similar interests are ok, chemistry is necessary but substance is what matters most to me. I need a guy who is comfortable anywhere and will enjoy any experience for what it is - whether it's vacationing in a cottage without electricity, attending a networking function where you don't know anyone, vegging on the beach, playing leapfrog with my kids, kicking back with friends or having a quiet romantic evening together. Let me know if this sounds like you.

Meet a woman from United States. I am a home-body type, kind, caring, a good listener, understanding, fun to talk to, romantic, affectionate, loyal, honest, open-minded, smart, confident, independent and not afraid of trying new things.
I would love my match to have similar qualification but am also open to difference that can work as compliment to or sometimes opposite to my qualification which I think can make a relationship more interesting.
I am NOT looking for a perfect man, so I would expect you to be who you are. Please don't try to sell me a great man you are not. I am not interested in just-for-fun relationship. Please only contact me if you are honestly interested in a serious committed long-term relationship. Most importantly, I do believe in true love and chemistry for a relationship to work and last.
Thank you for reading!
