Date men and women from United States / California / Walnut Creek, 30 year old

Date men and women from United States. I'm passionate about being active, traveling, experiencing new things and enjoying the present. I love the outdoors, yet also appreciate cuddling next to a warm fire and sharing a glass of wine while watching a film.
I value communication, I'm a good listener and am very easy to talk to. Travel, work, family and friends are top priorities. Being excited about what one does daily is extremely important.
I'm looking for someone who is lighthearted, has a good sense of humor and understands that a smile and bit laughter can go a long way. I am attracted to those that are fun, outgoing, enjoy the outdoors and also appreciate an occasional quiet evening at home.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I moved to Northern CA not too long ago to take an outside sales territory up here. So far I really like Norcal - I've lived in Southern California my entire life so it was a big change for me. If I could convince all my friends and family to move up here it would be perfect! I also miss the warmer socal version of the Pacific Ocean and knowing the entire coastline like the back of my hand from LA to SLO, but moving up here has been great - it has forced me to explore the unknown again. I'm not exactly sure what I'm expecting from this website, but figure it'd be a good idea to meet some new people in the area. I've had mixed feelings of online dating, part of me thinks two people should meet the old fashioned way (aka not online), and part of me thinks it's a great way of meeting people. I figure if you meet someone and completely hit it off, you will continue to hit it off regardless of where you met.
Raised in Southern CA, I grew up loving sports. Even now I need them daily - I have a lot of energy and need a variety of ways to channel that energy into productivity, and usually that goes into either work or some sort of exercise. In high school I got into skateboarding, surfing, and snowboarding, and more recently, mountain biking. I love that basketball, baseball, football, soccer, and the sports I grew up with can be played almost anywhere - that gives me the peace of mind to know that I could live almost anywhere. I also love that you really have to get out in nature to surf, go mountain biking, or snowboard. That really adds an element of beauty that organized sports can't. And then there's running...not the most fun thing in the world, but I consider it such a gift. There isn't anything else where I can just throw on shoes, an Ipod, hit the streets, and each time get that introspective escape and spiritual recharge. I've done 2 marathons and one half, and although I don't think the body is meant to take the abuse of running 26.2 miles in a row, it's a great feeling crossing the finish line and to own that accomplishment for life...it's also kinda cool to run a marathon w thousands of other people - there's a real fun positive energy unlike anything else. I'll probably do another one but I don't know when. I like variety in life, and being able to enjoy many different things is important to me. I have no desire to master one sport or activity in life - I would rather be great at a lot of things.
I recently ditched my cable and it has been really nice. I've started reading much more, and in June 2012 I created a bucket list that has given me quite a bit of inspiration. Whenever I'm bored or feel negative thoughts coming on, I just go back to the list and do something on it. It has continued to grow because I ask other people what they think I should add to it. It has become sort of a cultural and social outlet for not only my own but also ideas from a variety of people. The only downside is its negative effect on the bank account, so I've got to be careful not to go overboard, and remember to take things slow sometimes. I'm torn about what to do once the football and then basketball seasons start - I'm thinking I'll probably cave and get cable again, but we shall see.
I love dogs and have a pretty funny German Shepherd named Max that ditched all his obedience classes (think of the movie Marley and me). I went to city college in Santa Barbara and then finished my bachelor's degree in business at CSUCI. I'm contemplating going for a PhD in Positive Psychology but I'm undecided if I want to make the financial commitment necessary.
I eat healthy, and I'm truly open to trying out new things. I guess the rest you'll just have to figure out on your own

Date a man from United States. Hi there! Let me preface this by saying I am not good at filling this kind of thing out- it feels kind of forced/artificial for some reason. I usually prefer getting to know people either through messages or in person rather than reading from a profile. But, me in a nutshell: I've spent most of my life living in the Bay Area except for when I was away for school. Outside of work I like to watch movies, travel, go to the gym, and hang out with my cats. :)
I also tend to be pretty direct, so here are some things that are really essential to me:
1. You must be a Christian (Protestant). My faith is important to me, both in terms of the person I'm trying to be but also in the context of a relationship.
2. I'd really prefer you live nearby (like, 30-40min from the Bay Area) I've found it very difficult to get to know somebody or develop anything (especially when we don't know each other beforehand) when they live far away
3. I really value quality time, so I can't be with somebody who is excessively busy with other things. I'm looking for somebody that I can spend time with, not someone who is always at work, out of town a lot, or simply too busy with life
4. At the risk of being cliched- somebody who is kind to others, a good conversationalist, interesting, has similar interests, and is interested in physical activities (tennis, gym, etc.)
Still reading? Then I'd love to hear from you. :)

I currently work in the Bay Area saving lives as an EMT-Firefighter and waiting to get into Paramedic School. When I have free time I love to go to the beach, be outdoors,travel,cook,wine-taste, concerts, and go to baseball and football games!

Date someone special from United States. I'm looking to meet someone that is willing to accept me as I am. I love to travel alot and would like a partner to share my travel with. I am able to take care of myself and others if I needed to, if I found the right woman.

Meet single man from United States. So, I'm supposed to use this as an opportunity to showcase my unique attributes... How uncomfortable is this!?!
It's hard to talk about yourself without sounding like a total douche... So, I'll use what my friend Alana said about me: Funny, extremely witty and smart and anyone who hangs out with me is lucky to have me in their life. I am caring, and always doing what I can to help.
The negative attributes she noted and I agree with her on, need to start living in the moment and not analyzing the future, It's good to plan ahead but I can miss the good times in front of me if I'm not careful.
If a machine were built that could produce my "dream girl" she would be: a fantastic person to talk to, laughter is very important to me. I love an opinionated woman, and I love discussing topics that we may have different views on. That said, my dream girl would know the difference between a debate, conversation, and an argument... It's not uncommon to find a girl who does not know the difference.
Loyalty, trust, honesty and empathy are huge to me. I am analytical, and I tend to look at all the possible factors motivating someone's actions before I allow myself to have an emotion. For example, if your boss snapped at you, and it seemed out of the blue and the reasoning behind their outburst was something never important to them previously, then I would think about what is going on in my boss's life. Most of the time, when people snap or lashout out of the blue, it has nothing to do with you. To allow your emotions to get the best of you without looking a little deeper is not productive, and can happen often in a relationship.
In general, I would love to be with a girl that I can hang out with and talk to like a best friend.
When people are in a relationship, I think both can forget to ask themselves: "Am I the type of person that someone would want to one home to?". Just because you have time together, both should still leave the entitlement out of the relationship. I can't stand when girls complain about how their man is not romantic, failing to notice that their attitude is so bad that their man would love nothing more than to have her gone for a month or two. Same for guys, you can't complain about not getting enough sex if you're not doing the things that you went out of your way to do to make her feel special. Getting comfortable breeds entitlement. Time served in a relationship doesn't relieve you of not doing the little things to make each other feel special.

Date men and women from Walnut Creek, United States. Not quite sure how to "summarize" myself so to quote a birthday card that my homegirl gave me, I am "the coolest, most generous, most funny, most caring, most Jack Daniels loving, most amazing friend a girl can have." Hope that helps, if not... stalk me and find out for yourself. Ok, not really.
I try to keep life adventurous and things simple, when it comes to unnecessary b.s., less is always more. Hmmm... I enjoy everything except wasting the day away. Be you and do everything that makes you happy; life is too short to worry about anything else.
I hope to one day have my own YouTube viral hit, like Antoine Dodson's joint... only better. Hard to imagine, right? I?m really good at:
-fixing things electronic
-playing pranks on people
-spelling
-telling "yep, that shiz really happened" stories
-numbers
-geeking out
-not taking life too seriously
-naming that song/artist
-staying up really late for no reason
-planning surprises
-interacting with kids. I love them, they love me. hope to have some of my own one day
-showing up as the only one in theme... to non-theme parties
-being loyal/dedicated to my moral, beliefs, loved ones
-enjoying crafty brews or a solid whiskey
-showing those around me how much I appreciate them
-remembering people's birthdays
-quoting lyrics from songs and randomly inserting them into my everyday conversations
-eating beef jerky, bacon, chicken wings, and Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies
we would probably get along very well if:
you're awesome and you think I'm awesome, so that we can have an awesome time together.
maybe I''ll come pick you up on my unicorn and we can go find pots of gold at the end of rainbows, you've got to bring your own helmet though.
you would enjoy sending each other random messages from someecards.com.
you want to grab some eats/drinks, catch Taco Tuesday, hit up a show, Warrior game, go on a bike ride, etc., just to go have some laughs.
you know to say "thank you," when someone opens the door for you.
you've been looking for a good time, but were too afraid to call the number that I wrote on the bathroom stall. I know you saw it. just kidding.

Meet a soulmate from Walnut Creek, United States. Hello there! If you’re looking for a fun date with lots of laughs then you’ve found the right person. I’m a big hearted guy who loves a good laugh and traveling to new and exotic destinations. My most recent trip was to Beijing, China. It was amazing, even thought I was there on business, I got to see The Great Wall, Temple of Heaven, The Summer Palace, The Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square ,crazy shopping areas (would say mall but it was more of a place where people set up booths with their goods), bars/clubs, and great restaurants. My favorite was The Temple of Heaven.
My trips also include time spent on sunny sandy beaches too. Unfortunately it can’t be all play and no work so while I’m not traveling the world, I work as a programmer for a social gaming company in the bay area. I’m very lucky to have a job that I am passionate about. Some fun facts about me is that I have a twin sister and I’m half Persian…and you know what they say…once you go Persian there’s no better version.
What I’m looking for in a date is someone who likes to have a good time, loves to laugh and can take a joke, and is intelligent. If this sounds like you and you like what you’ve read don’t be shy and drop me a line!

Date a man from Walnut Creek, United States. He loves being around women who are easy-going and has a good handle on stress-management. He loves being around women who are secure in themselves who also have the skill to express their passions and ideals in a non-confrontational manner.
He misses and loves his family, but when everyone comes together they always pick up where they left off.
He enjoys hot tubs and spas and any opportunity to pamper himself (when he finds the time). He enjoys cooking and can cook well, but REALLY loves being around a woman who communicates his "Love Language" -- which is Acts of Service. You'll have his heart on this one.

Meet people from Walnut Creek, United States. What to say what to say...... for starters I like to travel, I've been to 10 countries so far and about 30 states. I love traveling to new places experiencing the culture, history, touristy stuff and nightlife, so with that being said I plan to do a lot of it in the future. I'm planning on going to Germany for Oktoberfest this year, and I'll hopefully hit up Amsterdam, Prague and Vienna.
I value being fit, I keep in shape too look good for myself and the person I'm dating so I feel the other person should feel the same way. Or at least they should take care of themselves! I like to trail run, mountain biking, hike, and do triathlons, etc! I've been involved in sports, competitively, for 16 years now so it's a part of me. I like to do most anything that is outside especially if it's a nice day out!
I enjoy a lot of types off music, depending on my mood or what I'm doing i'll listen to different music. Any live 80's cover band is a for sure thing, also, I do I listen to country as well, really anything that sounds good really, a good beat or melody is what I like.
I value learning and have a strong attraction to intellect,that is a major turn on!
In a relationship I value open communication, sense of humor, silliness, and honesty. It's also nice to have quality conversations because it's nice to talk about conversations of substance.
What I would like in that special someone would be someone who I can do fun outdoor adventures with, someone who can carry a conversation and/or keep me on my toes, someone who will strive to make me want to better myself in all facets, someone who can put on a classy dress and get dolled up because there is nothing more sexy than a woman well dressed!
Some thing I'm proud of is that I put myself through college and I'm financially self sufficient. I enjoy what I do for work and I think of myself as extremely easy going.
Favorite quote: "If it's a priority in your life you will do it!"
Quote #2: On the other side of fear, is freedom!

Date someone special from Walnut Creek, United States. A little about myself. I enjoy being active. Flag football is my sport of choice. Checking out new places is also big on my list. Whether it be a new bar, new restaurant, or new country, I'm always up for an adventure. In my down time, I like watching movies, playing poker, hanging out with the buds, and I'm starting to get into home improvement projects. I'm an engineer that designs chemical plants by day, and a goof ball/cook by night. Oh yeah...cooking is big on my list. Being part mexican, chinese, and growing up in cajun country...my cooking is the definition of fusion.
And for some reason, I thought it was a good idea to get a puppy a while back. So I've been a doggy duty since. Man, who knew a pup would be so much work? But it's worth it, now I have a house trained dog that's awesome to have around the house.
As for what I look for in a date, first and foremost it is someone who can laugh. You have to be able to smile and laugh. Life is too short not to smile and be happy. If you like sarcasm and inside jokes, I'm pretty sure I can get a snicker out of you. I also like a good conversation... a good date for me is one where you feel comfortable enough to talk openly about anything. Oh...and you kinda have to like dogs. :)
Instant deal breakers on a date:
1. Not educated...no matter how attractive you are, if you can't carry a conversation...zap..bad date
2. Snooty...I really don't like snooty people. Just cause someone isn't as fortunate as you, that doesn't make them a worse person.
3. Not open to trying new things and adventures...that is kind of explains itself.
So if you like to laugh, talk, like dogs, and don't fall into any of the 3 categories above...just wink!
