Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Centennial, 43 year old

Date a man from Colorado, United States. Let's celebrate life! This is not a dress rehearsal. There must be passion and chemistry.
Living deliberately takes some effort. I'm passionate about skiing, sailing and cycling (top three) and other things as well. I always have my ski gear in my car and given any opportunity to play hooky from work, I'll head up and make some turns. If you see some guy changing out of a suit and into ski gear in the parking lot at A-Basin, it might be me. If you hear the same guy yodeling or singing ( I do both well) in the lift line or on top of the mountain, it is definitely me.
I'm self employed and love the freedom this gives me to ski, sail, or bike during the week but most importantly spend time with my greatest joy - my daughter. I work to live not live to work. However, I am passionate about what I do, enjoy helping others, and make more than enough to pay the light bill. I feel super privileged to be able to live the life I want.
Being in the mountains is a spiritual thing for me. I feel centered when at altitude. I enjoy margs on the beach too but given a choice, and taking into consideration my nerdy white skin, I'd rather be drinking the marg on a boat.
I'm a foodie. I love fine dining and especially enjoy discovering great ethnic dives. Pho, lingua, vindaloo - it's all good. I love to cook but regret that sometimes a costco roasted chicken and a quick veggie saute is all I have time/enegy for.
What am I looking for? The "about me" of a lot of daily matches reads like a Nobel application that collided with a harlequin romance novel. Rather than a laundry list of specifics, generally, you should be passionate about not only doing things but the person you are in a relationship with. Willingness to try new food, love of outdoors, and belief that life is better with a dog is a plus. You need to have and enjoy a good sense of humor (I'm funny...really). Beyond that, a little bit of mystery in the beginning makes this more interesting.
**Disclaimer** Who else but a lawyer would have one? My divorce has been filed, however, it is not yet final. I am way beyond separated as I've bought a separate house, furnished it and have (for quite some time) shared custody - 50/50. My divorce is amicable, soon to be X is a great mom and there are no custody/financial issues. Banks are crazy and lenders told me to wait to file for divorce as it would queer financing. Following that advice took way longer than I'd hoped.

Meet single man from Colorado, United States. I am an honest, faithful, affectionate, romantic and stable Christian guy. I am a good listener, educated, intelligent, fun and adventurous. I am confident in who I am, what I want and what I can do and therefore don't take myself too seriously. As a matter of fact, I crack myself up all the time! I always want to learn and grow personally and am therefore open to gentle constructive criticism from people who care. I have three awesome preteen to teens who live with me half the time. I enjoy trying new things and seeing new places, learning, spending time in the outdoors, deep conversations, laughing with friends, snuggling in front of a fireplace, and enjoying my kids. I enjoy kids, animals, nature, gardening, building stuff, camping, hiking, traveling, skiing, concerts, theatre, movies and nights on the town. I'm not real big into professional sports - but transform into a crazy fanatic if one of my kids is on the field! I think I am fairly free of odd quirks and troublesome habits. Ok, maybe that's not completely true - I'm sometimes late, am forgetful, have a caffeine addiction, take on more than I have time for, eat too many Christmas cookies and tend to leave my stuff in piles. There you have it - full disclosure! Oh yes, and I am definitely NOT a morning person.
I recently took up running as a hobby and ran my first marathon last Labor Day. I am fairly handy - have learned by trial and (lots of) error how to fix (and how not to fix) most things. I enjoy entertaining and cooking, although I don't claim to be a gourmet chef by any stretch (my kids will whole heartedly attest to that). I may not be the "life of the party" but I enjoy laughing with friends, can manage well in social situations and am fairly adept at carrying a conversation. I like to meet new people but would rather get to know one person deeply than spend the evening in small talk with many people. Life is too short to be superficial!
What am I looking for? Well, I can tell you what I am NOT looking for: if you are controlling and bossy, if you tend to be critical of others rather than extending grace, suffer from frequent bouts of intense irritability, left your last husband because "you grew apart" or "he wasn't meeting your needs", view the bible as "helpful tips" rather than principles to live by or can't imagine having a good time without inebriation, please move along. Ideally, I am looking for an adventurous, selfless, caring, compassionate, honest, low key (as in having reasonable stress tolerance), energetic, positive/upbeat , forgiving, kind, generous, humble (as in willing to admit mistakes), self-reflective, accepting and fun woman to spend my life with who understands the greater purpose for which we are given life.
What do I believe? I believe that you learn the most from people that you disagree with. I believe that accepting others for who they are without trying to change them is the foundation for a loving and respectful relationship and humility and selflessness are the lubricants that allow a relationship to function without grinding to a screeching halt. My faith is very important to me and I would like to meet somebody who shares similar values and beliefs. Specifically, a bottom line for me is that, like me, my partner will believe that the Bible is God's inspired guide for our lives and the ultimate authority for us. It is also imperative that my partner has trusted in Jesus for their salvation and strives to submit her actions and choices to God's will and direction. I know, easier said than done. The key word is "strives"!
I hope to hear from you!!!!

Date someone special from Colorado, United States. Patient, focused and letting cyber do its thing as continuing to enjoy family, friends, business and the volunteering to help others. I appreciate those who value the positive things in life in which inspire others to achieve success.

Meet men and women from Colorado, United States. I love life and try to live it without regret. Our time on earth is short and I feel that we need to make the most of it. Life is what you make it and I want to make it good. My Interests are many and I'm always open to new things and new experiences. I am well traveled and can do well in any setting from roughing it outdoors to dressing up for a night on the town. I like to create and maintain balance in my life. I am very unique, and am not afraid to go against the grain. I do not follow the beaten path or the crowd. I am not really impressed by possessions or material things although I tend to dress well and am not afraid to spend money when I want something. I am however, impressed with people who know who they are and are alive inside and out. who view life as an opportunity for learning and have an understanding of who they are in the overall scheme of things.
I love to be inspired and enjoy inspiring others with a kind word or a good deed. I'm a great listener and if you are my friend there is nothing I wouldn't do for you. I feel fortunate for all of my experiences in life and all of the lessons I've learned. In fact, I'm still learning and consider myself a student of life. I believe that for every problem encountered, there is a solution and I try to live in that solution. Live, Love, and Laugh!

Date a soulmate from Colorado, United States. Looking to hang out and date someone who doesn't take life seriously. I like to ride motocross, golf and stuff outdoors.
I like women who like to go to movies, take road trips, and sometimes hang out at home. Someone who takes care of their body, too. No fatties...I take care of myself, eat right and work out.

Meet people from Colorado, United States. I am a widowed father of 3, only 2 live at home (12-16). My kids are my world and they are first in my life since I'm all they have left. I want someone who I can share my life with. I really have a good life and want someone who will be 50% of the relationship and 80 - 20% when we need each other to be. I enjoy cooking and laundry: Oh wait that's what I'm doing continuously. No I really enjoy cooking and creating in the kitchen. I watch Food network sometimes more than sports. (Yes I'm seeking the correct gender) I believe when you're angry you didn't use enough humor on it, that's why it's bitter.
I have been through quite a lot and so have my kids, but yet they and I persevere and keep living a good life. I like doing everything and trying out different things. I don't like routine, though I fall into it once in a while. I'm really looking for a wonderful female that likes to be equal in the relationship. I'm not the controlling type but I also can't be controlled. (Yes at times I can be broken).
I like new and different, nostalgia is really not my thing I like new and different restaurants, don't like the bar all the time or often. I do like being at home, or out just checking out new things like the outdoors shopping or window shopping. (Again I am seeking the correct gender) I work in an industry that gets me into tons of homes and I have grown use to seeing things different. I have never quit my job and have worked for 5 different companies. Interested if you can guess that company? (or as I've seen bonus for that nugget of info) By the way I wink to see if interest is mutual and I'm OK if you do the same. Who wants to craft an email only to be ignored or given the Heisman!! Most females won't get that but Google that and you need to picture a women doing that to men!! You'll enjoy it, if you totally didn't we might not be the best match. I am willing to explain it also.
Wink I'm OK with it.. Hope to hear from a special person soon. I blame myself for all the bad spelling and grammatical errors!! Steve

Date a man from Centennial, United States. Enjoy the simple lifestyle. Always have to be friends first. Don't let this bother you but I actually still talk to old girlfriends because we always built that part of the relationship. Not into the club scene at all due to all of the noise. If I go out, generally like to go someplace quiet with a few friends just to shoot the breeze. I enjoy just about anything "outdoorsy" but am just as comfortable watching a movie or sitting by the beach. If you like what you see/ read, just drop me a note. I am an extremely easy person to get along with so any type of lifestyle/ activities is fine with me. If I haven't done it before, there is always a first time- except for skydiving since I have a real phobia of heights. I enjoy ALL types of music from classical to hard rock (and even a little country) but cannot stand rap or acid rock. If you fall in that category, sorry, but we will probably not get along too well in the car!

Meet single man from Centennial, United States. I am looking for someone with whom i can share thoughts and feelings and who can do the same. i can be a little off at times but in the good way. trust is something that takes time to build and i'm not afraid to take the time to build it. If the thought of exploring one another is sometihng that you could get into then we should talk. Life is what you put into it And any relationship worth having is worth taking the time to build. I think that gets the point across, of course I'll go back and read this in a couple of days and wonder what the hell I was thinking. Guess I'll see what happens with this one.
