Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm really not too serious about things. Relaxed and sometimes nonsensical, but with a sense of responsibility and purpose.
Always a positive thinker. Optimistic and supportive. Top priorities include having fun with old friends and sharing new experiences with interesting people. I value loyal friendships and strong family ties.
I love surfing, the ocean, and the outdoors. Movies and music are my primary source of creative entertainment. I also love to read -- mostly non-fiction, pop culture, and sociology.
You'll find me at the local diner drinking morning coffee and reading a book; surfing south bay with my brother; boarding local mountains with coworkers; watching sports and playing board games with friends; having dinner with my family; shopping for records, books, toys, and clothes; traveling and enjoying life.
So, that's that. I'm just checking out this whole Match thing. Looking for someone to share with. Someone who might be a perfect fit. She could be anyone, so rather than list the things I think I might be looking for, I'll finish with a couple of things I'm surely not interested in... negativity and complications. Save the drama for your mama :P

I live on the westside of Los Angeles and work at a university. I feel very fortunate since I love what I do and manage a great team. The short version of what I do: I teach teachers how to use technology to promote learning. Of course, with work and life it's not as easy to meet people, so I am trying online dating. I'm dating to find a girlfriend but ultimately I'm looking for that special woman to journey with the rest of our lives.
This summer, I vacationed in Vancouver, Canada -- and I loved it. In November, I went to Florida and overdosed on theme parks. And over Christmas, I visited the central coast of California and saw Hearst Castle, the elephant seals at San Simeon, and explored the Morro Bay area. So, travel is very important to me; I take at least one major trip a year and often a few small ones, too. Why? To explore the outdoors and the arts, and to learn more about other areas and cultures... and just to have fun.
I have many other passions and interests, and I look forward to learning about you, discovering if we click, and exploring all the fun things we share in common (or new things we can learn and experience from each other). Of course, communication and chemistry are important. I look forward to speaking with and meeting you soon.
Date a man from West Los Angeles, United States. I used to be damaged goods, so I know how delicate relationships can be. My personality is low key and chill. I'm a designer, am down to earth, have a good imagination and I'm a conceptual person. I've sported the orange mohawk and black hair in the past. I play bass-guitar, design, and enjoy 90's and alternative music. I'm into movies too! Fun is such a small word for such a vast subject. Even saying it is inviting a good time. (Say it, you have to smile). People have described me in enigmatic terms. Lets have a good time and cool conversation. Looking forward to see ya!
Thanks for visiting!
Meet someone special from West Los Angeles, United States. I’ve been known to cause a kerfuffle with my sense of humor; it’s gotten me in trouble it’s gotten me out of trouble. What can I say, I love to laugh. I’ll take a stupid comedy over a drama any day. Even though I start off talking about my sense of humor, there is a lot more to me. Amongst my friends and family, I’m the official airport pickup / drop off person. One holiday weekend I was at LAX three separate times in one day. Not only do I know my way to the airport, without GPS, but I know my way around a kitchen as well; I can make a chocolate mousse cheesecake that will knock your socks off. Fortunately I don’t often make that cheesecake otherwise I would have to spend much more time at the gym, I enjoy going to the gym but I don’t live there.
Adventure seems to find me whenever I travel, such as the time I found myself on an impromptu tour of Hanoi on the back of a motor bike, or the neighborhoods I discovered while getting lost driving in Israel. Locally I don’t really get lost, thanks to GPS, but sometimes it’s fun to shut off the GPS and throw caution to the wind. All that being said, I really am a practical person with bursts of spontaneity and a zest for surprises.
Date single man from United States. Hello and welcome to me. I've had someone describe me as a true friend. I am very fun to spend time with socially, but when they need someone to talk to, shoulder to cry on, or be Best Man in their wedding, I am there for all of the above. I enjoy a variety of athletic activities: Golf, tennis, volleyball, skiing at whichever mountain of my EPIC pass got the most snow, triathlons, and watching football all Sunday long. Yeah, that last one might be stretching the "athletic" part, but when you grill lunch and dinner it definitely puts the sport aspect into it. I am a physically fit person who also knows that without a fit mind the other is useless. I have worked in sales for 17 years. I love my job, it has not only taught me a great deal about myself, but others. It allows me to do things that probably would not have been available to me otherwise. The "Tip Guide" for writing this said to pick a super power. For me, I would want to fly. I have been bungee jumping three times, and skydiving is next. It would just be so cool. The type of person I would like to date, is very confident. If you can't laugh at yourself how can we have fun? Life is to be enjoyed, not stressed over. Dates should be fun, it's the only way I know how. Whether it's at a nice restaurant or on an afternoon bike ride, take advantage of the moment. There is not one specific "type" of person I am looking for. Sometimes it's there in the beginning, sometimes it develops over time. Just remember some very good words to live by "Hakuna Matata".Where to begin? If I was describing my perfect match, it would begin with a physical attraction; some type of spark that makes my stomach jump for a split second. Then there would have to be some good conversation. Can this person think for herself? My match would have to be someone with similar interests. She likes sports and doing athletic things. She would be spontaneous to go to a concert or comedy show if tickets appeared Friday afternoon, but would also look forward to a Saturday night out all dressed up. She is the type of girl who still gets giddy when flowers show up at her office.
Most importantly, she should be comfortable with who she is. Above all, that's who I am looking for. If this is you, then write me and let's see what happens!
Meet a man from West Los Angeles, United States. I've been told that I'm smart, funny, outgoing and a great catch, among other things, but not sure how objective that is, so maybe take that with a grain (or rock) of salt. I'd say a more accurate self-description is that I enjoy being active, adventurous and outdoors, exploring a farmers market or hiking on the trails in the hills around LA or doing anything else outdoors after being in an office for work all week. Being an LA native who's lived here my whole life, I'm pretty content with all that the SoCal lifestyle and weather affords. While I couldn't imagine living anywhere else (although open to the possibilities), traveling with a passport in hand (and planning such a trip) is probably my favorite passion. I could go on and on about myself, but if my pictures are worth thousands of words--for better or worse--enough said. I'm looking for someone who's intelligent, outgoing, athletic, adventurous, exciting, fun, funny and knows how to enjoy life. Witty banter and sense of humor a major plus!
BTW, my life isn't necessarily the endless adventure that my photos might lead you to believe. I'm just terrible at taking or tracking down pix the rest of the time when just hanging out.
Date a soulmate from West Los Angeles, United States. Looking for a special woman for serious relationship. I am a very busy executive; no time for games. I travel often for work which makes dating challenging. I went to UCLA for undergrad and Grad School. Go Bruins!
I love to see new places and discover new things. Have been to most countries in Europe and Asia and still love discovering great places in California; Napa, SF, SD.
I grew up in California but lived in Europe for a few years for business. I think it has the perfect mix of fun/opportunities.
My Match should be open to travel.
Family is very important to me and should be to my match. Good close family is definitely a plus.
I like the outdoors and enjoy Yoga, swimming and walking on the beach.
Meet single man from West Los Angeles, United States. Well what you see is what you get. I am a fairly happy guy who smiles a lot and really appreciates the blessings and opportunities I've been given.
I am a hopeless romantic who loves to dote over my girl. I love to be close not afraid of PDA, I rather like it.
I cook, actually like to clean and can be quite entertaining. I also love dining out, maid service and being entertained.
I've been told I have a nice smile and a great attitude. I try to inspire others on a daily basis as well as look to be inspired.
I'm an athletic person who loves to sweat once a day for at least 2hrs.
I dance every day but I haven't been out dancing in 2 years. I sing everyday but have never sung on stage or done Karaoke.
I love life and am fortunate enough to be able to smell the roses every day. And I do.
I have been single now for about two years. I like to think this is by design. While I have been preparing myself for my new career I have also been preparing myself for HER.
And I do believe she's out there. Is she on this site, who knows but I figured since I have this profile I may as well get serious about it.
Oh and I love my new motorcycle...it is NOT my main form of transportation, just a toy.
UPDATE:STOLEN - FKKK can u believe it! In Brentwood. oh well, guess I've seen 130mph enough, um no. Lookin' for a new one
-------
I don't describe my match here because I really think women are so uniquely different from one another that the eyes have it...
...followed by attitude followed by the heart followed by the body.
You're all so beautiful in your own way...
-----------
Thanks for the emails, and know that if I wink at you it may just be because you're cute or your profile strikes a cord...doesn't mean I want to have sex...but may be.
Date someone special from California, United States. Creativity / the arts, fitness, humor, and the oddities of language and how we communicate with each other are important to me. You don't have to share all my passions, but please be passionate about SOMETHING! :-)
Some quick facts:
I have a degree in English from UC Berkeley.
I earned a Private Pilot's license when I was 18 (!)
I’m a kidney donor –it’s one of the best things I’ve done in my life. If there’s ever a loved one in your life who you can help in this way, I can highly recommend it.
I play the pedal steel guitar (among other instruments). I think the pedal steel is the most beautiful-sounding instrument ever. (If you’re doing it right!)
I am a member of the UCLA Bruin Masters Swim Team.
I’ve played on several million-selling albums –and have the gold & platinum records on my wall to prove it! :-)
I've included more info below...
Meet a man from California, United States. Looking for some one who is open minded, chemistry is everything, just fun, to be around, work hard play hard but caring and genuine. Someone who values life. I would like to meet a down to earth girl but ambitious, someone who enjoys intimacy and her own individuality.
Originally from Scotland, lived in the US since 1992, enjoy life, bit of a romantic, like holding hands, kisses are good. Pretty open minded about most things. I would like to meet someone who is easy going, honest, romantic, maybe someone who enjoys movies, dining,cooking together with the traditionally glasses of wine, travel, someone who is independent but values a partner, has their own interests but also prioritizes being together.
A balance is always good but looking after each other is also very important, being friends is really important.
I have two children who primarily live with her mum, I do see them on a regular basis and that works quite well.
Date single man from California, United States. I'm a person you might like to get to know - I'm friendly, gentle, and sometimes pretty funny. I get very few responses on here - I think it's my lack of interest in typical male stuff - like watching football or drinking or "partying."
That said, my cat Humphrey would like you to know that he is available for dating. He is younger, smarter, richer, and better looking than I am and his picture is on here. Just send him a note. However, he is fairly picky, whereas I'm fine with anyone who seems semi-sane, is female, and is breathing (joking).
A few people seem to have problems with the pictures I posted. If you are one of those women who expect muscle photos, car or truck photos, or shooting range photos, etc., then sorry, you are looking at the wrong profile - you want someone who lifts weights, drives a truck, and likes his guns. Not me. I swim (a lot), drive a car or occasionally a motorcycle that has the sole purpose of getting me from point A to point B, and I don't waste my time at shooting ranges pretending to be a tough guy.
I'm just looking for a real relationship - its something that has been missing from my life for quite awhile now. That is not a good thing and I am finding it a difficult problem to solve.
A long term relationship (maybe even marriage) would be ideal, but it seems a lot to hope for. I believe in being optimistic but also realistically optimistic. I'll settle for someone who loves me and whom I love.
My professional life is very gratifying and really satisfies my personal artistic needs (yes, it is an art form). My goal is to continually become better at what I do and to learn something new about my profession every day. I read a lot and if i didn't have a Kindle would probably qualify as a hoarder of books.
What I think makes me unique and interesting is my constant curiosity, my flexibility, my sense of fairness and decency toward others, my willingness to admit my mistakes and apologize when appropriate, my need for constant learning, and my strong belief in equality. Without being immodest, some people also seem to appreciate my intellect and social skills. I do pretty good conversation and I'm told I'm fairly funny as well...you decide.
I am a kind and trusting person and that has not always served me well. Having said that, I still have no intention of changing. I've read too many profiles on here that are angry rants about what the person does not want, and all of their demands and expectations. I feel badly that they have had such miserable experiences. Mine, at least on here, have been far less than positive, but I try to stay hopeful nonetheless.
I'm 5'11, 170 dress casually, and truly enjoy people in general. I work odd hours but I can also be available at convenient times. I'm pretty much a night owl really. I have a weird and stressful but fulfilling job.
I am a serious animal lover, so if you are too, that is a great starting point. I like the outdoors, many sports, swimming and tennis, and breeding and cultivating roses (yes, really!). The thing with the roses is sort of an offshoot of my interest in biology and genetic science in general, and plants are relatively easy to work with. Besides - I like beautiful things.
Please don't misinterpret that last statement. While I need to be physically attracted to a person, if I'm not attracted to their personality, the looks don't matter. Intelligence is the most attractive trait a person can have, at least for me.
Anyone bright, clever, witty, articulate, and/or adventurous always catches my eye. Talk to me from your heart and you'll melt mine. I'm a hopeless romantic.
I have a profound interest in interesting or unusual or just edgy people. If you are a little (or a lot) off-beat, I'm interested in talking to you.
Meet someone special from West Los Angeles, United States. I am pretty quiet at first and then open up and make you laugh. I am a mix of athletic and nerd. I live a pretty healthy lifestyle, but am not a fanatic about it, just thankful for good genes and good health.
I love anything outdoors and really enjoy renting a cabin for a few days in Big Bear now and then. I am not a great cook, but I've been told I am a very appreciative recipient of good cooking!
It would be nice to find someone that thinks being loyal is hot!
FYI: I don't respond to profiles without pictures, I mean seriously? I showed you mine, now show me yours....you know how to play...
