Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Boulder, 59 year old

Date a soulmate from Boulder, United States. I guess I'm kind of an ol fashioned country boy thats lived a few country western songs...rode a few bulls,got bucked off,picked my dusty butt up...got back on...got bucked off again...seems to be a theme. If your afraid to fall...don't climb the mountain...but your missing the best view. I wish that you and I were walking along Boulder creek, holding hands, looking into each others eyes and having a real conversation about life and hopes and dreams...but in this new age cyber world I guess this is where we start. But for now...I'll keep a few surprises and secrets to myself.
So here's my life story on the head of a pin...or maybe I'm just a pin head...you decide and let me know.
I have tried to live in places where most people vacation. I've lived in Lahaina, Glacier National Park, Sun Valley, and Jackson Hole. I moved to The Peoples Republic of Boulder 15 years ago. What a great place to wake up in! I own a landscape installation business that allows me to be out in the field all day. I like getting my hands dirty and am not afraid to put in a physical days work. It's my health club. Plus I dig (landscapers term for "like") the artistic and spiritual feeling of creating a painting using plants for the paint on Mother Natures canvas. I love the independence of having my own business...except when the boss gets his undies in a bundle.I was raised with an old fashion work ethic that makes me try and do everything just a little better.OK...except maybe paperwork...returning phone calls...email...texts... preparing bids...I guess I just don't do "office time" to well.
I like most things outdoors and love all 4 seasons. An alpine flower on a rocky hillside can take my breath away. I love art but can get overstimulated in a museum in about an hour. Any concert at Red Rocks is awesome. Coors Field is a great place to watch a ballgame...even though "Dinger" is the only Rocky having a good year. Growing up in Minnesota has made me a little bit nuts about hockey...Avs...Pioneers...girls hockey...youth hockey...and yes... The Red Wings do suck. I love to fly fish but the fish are much smarter than I am. I've skied for decades and most 6 year olds are better than me. I golf but can only win the the 19th hole. But if the person that has the most fun is the the winner...I win every time!
So here I am today sending out a modern day smoke signal on Al Gore's internet...looking for a special lady thats ready to live life with a laugh and smile... eager to see what miracles are in store. A lady with a passion for life and ready for passion in her life. Someone that wants to share her joys as well as her sorrows. A lady that treats each day as a special and cherished present. She is confident and comfortable in herself. Willing to laugh with or at herself. Ready to grow and unafraid to blossom. Someone that will take life's lesson from the past and put them to good use in her future. A lady that knows she is special and doesn't mind being spoiled a little bit.
If your still reading maybe your that one special lady that I have been dreaming about. If so... reach out (no winks)and take my hand...lets go for a walk. I want to hear your song

Meet a man from Boulder, United States. Energetic, ambitious, know what I like and want. I am not accustomed to making or settling for excuses. Loving, caring, honest, no drama. Sincerity and integrity are key. Athletic enough to take care of Self as a habit. I prefer not cooking for one. I enjoy a nice wine with a great meal and conversation about dreams and goals.
Spontaneous at times, driven often, diverse and eclectic. Dance theater or drag racing, wading a fly fishing stream or entertaining guests, walking along the Riverwalk hand in hand or racing my Hobie cat sailboat. Tent camping on the sandy beach or a great quiet restaurant dinner for two.
My partner is active and engaging, energetic and lively, knows how to be assertive yet not dominating. Knows what she wants and says so without angst.
She enjoys a cozy embrace, a walk on the malecon or 16th street mall, watching other people be people, or thinking about the day's adventures whether home or away. Living in the moment and remembers life well with gratitude.
I am mostly interested in Being more than Having. I am not materialistic and not motivated just by money. My "having" is more about having new and fulfilling experiences. I am romantic but not to a fault. I am close to my emotions such that I let that lead me. I like people who are working at being non-judgmental which I am learning is a rare skill that takes practice. I focus on ways to make a difference for as many others as I can.
An ideal day for me might read like this: Awaken to smell of fresh brewed coffee and see breeze. The saltiness is intoxicating. The breeze is fresh. The smell of the linens reminds me of my partner. The day awaits, a bicycle ride to the market on the corner, some fresh greens and cold drinks then back to the house, my office where I enjoy creating for my work. Eggs, veggies and fresh fruit for breakfast then to the day. The end of the day is a cool shower, something comfortable and loose to wear. A caress of my partner's hand, a glance at her curves and help her with lotion. Wine and shrimp on the deck overlooking the water. An engaging discussion about our days. Actually paying attention to the smallest details because nothing else is important.
I enjoy motorcycles and riding a couple times each year. I enjoy sailing my Hobie cat in the summer and hiking, fishing and camping minimalist. I sometimes ski but not as much now. Maybe more cross country now work.
Love a collaborative relationship, engaging, stimulating intellectual conversation and also sometimes just silence. Not into loud live bands much now. Prefer open windows for sleeping and driving. Not too fond of AC, in the house or car (but then I do live in Colorado still).
Bottom line, I invest in personal development, mine and others, spiritual growth and understanding, living well while I'm able with good stuff to offer. If you are not open to new experiences, if you let your fears control your life, if you are needy, feel free not to respond.

Date someone special from Boulder, United States. Alone, she waits, hidden in the shadow of the mountains... with the eyes of an angel... looking up at the stars and asking... 'Why am I here?'
'For fun... and to know love' comes the answer.
"What?" ... "What did you say!" ... "Who is there? ... she exclaims... but there is only the sound of the wind in the trees.
She thinks... 'How is it that I am this wonderful woman and that I cannot find my equal in a man?' She goes back toward her door to seek warmth but glances over her shoulder and she can see the shapes of the mountains by the light of the full moon.
She listens and looks outside once again... but there are only the stars and the sound of the wind...
Alone, he waits, staring with the eyes of an old soul, out from the back of his house and over the field of Buffalo Grass and down at the lights of Boulder and the silhouette of the Rocky Mountains illuminated by the light of the full moon.
He goes outside and whispers a silent prayer to the Universe... 'Please, send a wonderful woman into my life' ... and he waits for a sign... but there are only the stars and the sound of the wind...
Hello! My name is Greg and what I am looking for is friendship and lasting, romantic and powerful true love.

I hope you believe as I do that sweet romantic love and the deep passionate intimate physical connection between a man and a woman who are attracted and commited to each other is the most beautiful thing that this world has to offer. I absolutely love my career as a Realtor and for fun sometimes I write prose and short stories. And I play the guitar and the piano and I also love music.

Meet single man from Boulder, United States. I choose to let you describe me when you get to know me and I won't know what i'm looking for until I find her. I have learned early on in life that if you look to hard for a specific type of person, the ideal one , the perfect match, that you will never find them. I find beauty in everyone and everyone has imperfections. Ideally I hope to hook up with someone that is the correct balance for me and I for them.

Date people from Boulder, United States. ok..."survey says" that I love to laugh, don't take life and all its lemons too seriously....time is too short. I was a wayward boy scout so I'm brave, clean and irreverent. I'm the nice guy that holds the door open (all men learn this in guy school in the Midwest). I'm inspired most by my 10 year old, budding artist and musician son who is sometimes a bit shy, but never lacking curiousity...kinda like his dad.
I know it's corny, but my folks inspire me. My mom, who passed away in 2000, was a teacher and the first woman to take a woodworking class at her university. My dad continues to inspire me with his resolve, courage, and kindness.
A good adventure story makes me smile, one from the heart, usually about a person who has completely changed the course of their life and followed their passion. I'm grateful for my son, friends and family, a warm, funky house in the winter, simple pleasures, enough to eat and cold beer in the summer, ahh, make that any time.
I think traveling has broadened my perspective of life and given me a feeling of self-sufficiency, humility, appreciation and adventure. I twice skied 32 miles just to see if I could do it.
I went without cable or satellite TV for 20 years, got it recently for a short time to watch nature channels, do-it-yourself shows, and listen to music. I finally decided it was numbing both my son and I out, so I cancelled it.
My favorite artists are William Matthews (watercolors), Gustave Baumann (woodcut prints) and Doug West (serigraphs).
I'm still passionate about my teaching and love engaging young people in outdoor pursuits, handmade projects, and meaningful service.
For me, the perfect date includes a deeper-level conversation filled with laughter, being caught off guard, listening, joking and ending with more questions than we started with. I generally ask for directions and I'm not a stranger to the phrase "what do you think?"
I want to build my own off the grid "escape" house with my partner and son in the near future in the San Luis Valley and explore the Sangre de Christos.....got a hammer?
Update1: I retired from public school teaching (enjoyed the kids, shook my head at administrators) and now I'm back into teaching outdoor education and working as a graphic designer and silkscreen printer....to nurture my artistic muse and put food on the table with my home-based business.
Update 2: I've been on/off this site for awhile now and it's made me think more seriously about what I'm looking for in a mate. So here goes...she would a bit on the rural/tomboy side but also enjoy an occasional romp in the big city. Since I truly enjoy a homemade pie once in a while, it would be fun sharing HER kitchen as we create a gourmet meal together to be enjoyed and savored. I live in the foothills so hopefully she would enjoy sitting next to me in the pickup as we haul wood for the winter, enjoying the shared hard work, not worrying about a blister or broken nail. Traveling makes me appreciate where I live and an adventure trip with her to some out of the way locale would add some spice and romance. The other day I saw an elderly couple holding hands and making googoo eyes at each other....I stood amazed and dearly wanted to understand the magic that they shared. She would possess the grit, independence and passion for life that my grandma had, without the feminist anger. Most of all, she would have a warped sense of humor that would make my son and I howl...something that would make me grin when she's not around and confident that we could make it through any tough times.

Meet men and women from Boulder, United States. Life is wonderful and even better when shared with someone who resonates on all levels. Finding someone with enough commonalities is necessary to make something special last. Communication is key.
I'm very energetic, highly motivated, incurably romantic, extremely passionate, deeply compassionate, creative and playful. You are longing for a complete relationship that makes life even better because we're together.
I believe the glass should be overflowing... not half full or half empty. Good companions want to stimulate and inspire each other. My age criteria is inclusive because I'm seeking someone with loads of life in them... mentally, emotionally, soulfully and physically... and don't want to miss YOU because I was too restrictive. My distance criteria suggests I'll think outside the box because the corner YOU may be around might just be beyond where I drew a line.
