Date men and women from Walnut Creek, United States. “Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.”

—Tim Ferriss
I am a "nomad" (In the last 3 years I lived in Tanzania, Spain, California and the Arabian Gulf. for now...) but I have a strong link with the Bay Area so I find myself always returning here.
Dichotomy? I am just one of those romantic / practical, dreamer / focused, serious / amusing, active / relaxed, outdoorsy / not health club bum, committed / flexible, international (from Spain) / 14 year Californian, absolutely-love-water kind of guy, no money focussed but understanding that nothing comes free in life.
PROFILE 12 months outdated. "UNDER RE-CONSTRUCTION" we should say.
But the gist is here. Different venue, same performer, same play. Love of water, love of people, family, values (compromissed lately) and a way of looking at the world that is still "fresh" after all of those years. I'll get around to change pictures and update text. Moving to "Paradise" is still the idea, though you can always bring paradise with you wherever you go...
So long...
This is the OUTDATED part I should get to edit sometime soon (I just rather spend time reading books, your profile and writing to you Cat. --------------------------------------
Just returned to the Bay Area's vast playground after a couple of years in Europe and one in the Arabian Peninsula, it's time to catch up with activities and move on to a lasting relationship. Activities? Well, these are some recent ones (APRIL 2010) for example;
Rent a lake-front home near Yosemite, invite friends to spend 3 days, paddling, swimming, bbqing, and in Yosemite, (it was fun!)
Check some National Park Service sites in the Bay Area Muir Woods, Maritime Park...
Hiking Alamere (all-time favorite)
Go to the Academy to see the aquarium, the butterflies and the Planetarium or "Night at the Academy," Live music, exhibits, cocktails...
Fly somewhere for the day Saturday
Happy hour w friends
Hike Mount Diablo waterfalls
Keep an eye on when Half Dome cables go up so I'll beat the crowds to the top.
-- You suggest some more now...
Of course not every thing is the "spa life style" since there is also school, work, career, and other responsibilities but I'll strive to make some room for all of these, and for you "Imaginarium" With a partner planning and executing becomes easier.
Looking for a partner to evade the "9 to 5 life." Move to paradise? Something fun, something serious?
All of the about if there is a connection.
About you...
-You killed your TV long time ago, if not at least you have it restrained in a corner and not as the focus of your "down time." If you want, I can help you drown "the stupid" in the bath tub and then send it to recycling heaven.
-In not more than 70 per cent of your pics you are are seen holding a drink or indoors (likely in a "drinking establishment...")
-Your "Match" list of things you don't like in a person does not exceed 250 characters
-You really didn't mean it, if you wrote, "I can't image living anywhere else" (You can actually imagine yourself in other places)
-You managed to fill-in all your profile without resourcing to writing " I hate."
-You are not a couch potato, a couch tomato, or some other couch living creature.
- If you are looking for a "knight in a shinny armor" I'll rent the horse but you provide the armor and keep it shinning, Expect all armors to get duller and show some wear with time. Understanding that nothing comes without work and not taking things for granted in a relationship paves the way to a lasting, happy relationship.
-You understand most precious things in life are free yet they cost to attain and maintain.
-You own 2 pairs of "funny / funky socks and don't need music to danc

Date a soulmate from Walnut Creek, United States. I'm looking for a woman who is loyal, fun to be around, take care of her own and willing to experience life to the fullest. I want my best friend.

Meet people from Walnut Creek, United States. Letter to my younger self,
You are going to be a man of integrity and experience. You should have lived a more happy existence as a youth, but you will find happiness in the future, true unadulterated happiness.
Football was your life for so long, as a player you had passion and skill, as a coach you shaped young men’s lives. You will miss it when you decide that your daughter is more important than the game. You will enjoy your life as an educator and keep your finger in sports as an athletic director. You will coach again, but only time will tell when that will be.
The tattoos were a choice that you made and have to live with, you won’t hate them, but you will rethink them now again. They will never define you.
You will regret getting married the first time, but you got your daughter from that experience. You will choose better the second time around. You are a faithful, loving man, even if you have trouble showing it now, you will learn later in life. You will think about your partner first and yourself second, it doesn’t mean your needs won’t be met; it just means you will understand priorities and partnership.
The motorcycle accident wasn’t your fault, but it left you physically crushed, your body will recover as will your mind. Keep lifting the weights, Wendler’s program made you strong, it will do it again. You may have trouble running, but walk (a lot) it will help get you back.
You will be referred to as distant and scary looking, but you are a Teddy Bear and anyone that gets to know you will see it.
You will promise your daughter a trip to Paris to see the Eiffel tower, keep that promise, you will both enjoy it. She has a travel bug and yours will be reignited. Take her to Italy too, you enjoyed it, so will she. She is an athlete and she will enjoy the challenge of Machu Picchu, as will you, do that too!!!
Your heart is golden and you motives pure. You will be ready to love and care, do not despair she is there waiting for you. Neither of you know it yet.
You will prefer verbal communication over electronic, you are just old school that way, put your phone down you lived without it for thirty years, you can live without it for a few hours. Continue to open doors and pull out chairs, your lady friend will appreciate the chivalry.
Enjoy your happiness you have earned it.

Date a man from Walnut Creek, United States. New to the bay area. The ladies I've met so far say they love my accent. I'm kinda shy when it comes to meeting new people but much more outgoing once I get to know you. I like most any outdoor activity and will try anything once. I love sports so if there are any football fans out there I would love to hear from you. I hoping to find my blonde goddess here in California but she may not even be blonde??? I like to go clubbing from time to time and dance to trance and techno til the early morn. I love all kinds of music(except country with a couple of exceptions) How about a scenic drive and a picnic on the beach as the sun sets over the horizon? Maybe cuddled up on the couch with a good comedy from the video store while candles flutter with the breeze? Just wanting someone to connect with. Looks aren't everything but a physically attractive woman is quite important.(we can't help being superficial) More importantly a good heart is a necessity. Someone who is understanding and will treat me like she expects to be treated. Have a good sense of humor and not be too serious. Willing to compromise.
