Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Colorado Springs, 46 year old

Date single man from United States. So, let me get this out of the way...I guess it's only fair to address the separated thing first out of respect for all who read. It started 2 years ago, but didn't make any moves until recently. I hesitated getting on here because of not being able to list myself as "Divorced" so hopefully you can understand. We are still good friends with ZERO bitterness or drama.
My friends would describe me as funny and charming. I like to make people laugh. Everyone says I look younger than my age. I'll take that! I am very affectionate, caring and just like to be happy. I'm optimistic about most things and always try to find the good in any situation or person. I make friends very easy and love people in general. Fitness is important to me. I have been in TaeKwonDo for many years. I ride bike, run and lift weights weekly. I also enjoy, hiking, skiing, biking, soccer, walks...you name it. Anything to be active. I'm also content doing nothing at times. I do my best to travel and see new places. I eat healthy, but I'm not against pizza and wing night with a cocktail to go with it! I like to be organized and don't like clutter or mess much. I can have a party and not clean up till the next day! I love a rainy day, but not too many. Smelling the rain in the air, maybe over coffee or food or just laying in bed. I love the sound of the ocean. Laying on the beach, catching some rays,...so relaxing to me. Long walks on the beach or a stroll in some downtown city. I do prefer warm weather, but Colorado winters work for me too. New snowfall is beautiful and tranquil to me..
I believe in God and have always done my best to follow his word. I feel am blessed in many ways and give the glory to where it is deserved. Music has always been important to me. Started playing guitar when I was a teenager, played in bands when I lived in Vegas for 14 years. I still play and practice weekly. Its part of who I am.
I grew up in VT. Most of my family lives there. My dad was an entrepreneur, and I followed in his footsteps. When I wasn't helping my Dad, I was cooking with Mom. I love to cook and entertain! Everyone tells me I'm pretty good at it. My three kids will tell you that I cooked about 95% of their meals. I owned my first business at 20. I'm a contractor and specialize in kitchen and bath remodels, but can do most anything and have always had that belief in myself. I like to watch live or televised sports. Thank God for the DVR! I'm a Cowboys and Red Sox fan. New England is my "back east family team".
My kids are everything to me. I have a 20 year old with a baby. That's right. Grandpa. WOW! She is a great mommy and funny, cute and smart as anything! I have two that live at home. A 16 year old boy who is very handsome, smart ,and a great soccer player,..or anything he is committed to. My youngest daughter who is 14 is just the most amazing singer! Beautiful like the rest of the kids, but so sweet! My kids are everything to me. I do anything for them I can. I've worked pretty hard in my life to give them choices and a fun filled life.
I'm always attracted first to a pretty face, a pretty smile and a girls eyes. Kissing is important..affection, holding hands, little notes, you know, fun stuff. I like a woman who takes care of herself physically, mentally and spiritually. I am looking for someone special that would like to share our lives together. Someone who I can't live without.. who can't live without me. A woman that I can cherish, who can't wait to see me and me her. Someone who is positive, doesn't participate in negative, a glass is half full girl. Someone who is sweet, thoughtful and funny. A girl that can cut it up and just loves living life, who is confident, not too wimpy and can handle herself. Some one who is independent, yet dependent in some ways too. Someone who knows what she wants and is emotionally and mentally available. Who knows? It could happen, right? No one is perfect, but maybe we can come close?
All the best

Meet a man from United States. OK, so...I've read so many profiles and all of them seem, to be honest, a little nauseating. So, I'll try something a little different.
I'm new to Colorado Springs as a resident. I left the the armpit of America, in search of a better life and career, and to be honest, to get away from a relationship that was like a dog chasing its tail, in which there was no winner. Long story, that I don't care to share right now, but, if you're the right one, and you insist on knowing, I'll tell you and it'll break your heart.
I was on my way back home to CA from the east coast, and decided to visit my sister here in CO Springs...and ended up staying. This is God's country...and He's blessed me with a good career, and more importantly, has put me closer to family.
Now, for what I'm loooking for.....
I am a straight shooter, and what you see is what you get. I've been there many times, and I have every T-shirt to prove it. But I've taken experiences and life lessons and learned from them, tremendously.
I am a workaholic. But, that doesn't mean I don't know how to have fun, and I know how to balance work with play, especially with those that are close to me. If you are in my inner circle, you will always know I will be there, and you can always count on me.
I love to cook, and I consider myself a closet chef who never made it to an Iron Chef episode. I am neat, almost to a fault, but that's better than living like a hoarder. I try like hell to keep myself physically fit, and at my age, I actually feel 20 years younger, and I can hang with the best of them. I love to do things outdoors. I love golf (and we'll talk more about this sport if we meet), fly fishing, camping, skiing, hiking, climbing, and am always up to try something once...more if I like it :-)
I also enjoy a quiet evening with the right person, watching a movie, sipping on a good glass of wine, kicking back a microbrew, or having a great dinner, especially if it's home cooked. I love going out for dinners too, experiencing new tastes, smells, and atmospheres. I'm new to the dating scene, and I don't tolerate dishonest people, liars, cheats, steals, and drama queens. I'd like to surround myself with good people. Physical attractiveness is important to me. Let me say that again. Physical attractiveness is important to me, so...you must have a photo, or at least send it to me...and we will go from there.
If you wink, and don't have a photo...sorry....your loss, because I won't contact you. You are here to sell yourself to me, and I'm here to do the same. So...fair is fair. Otherwise, I will not answer. I know what I want.
Now, I tend to like women younger than me, preferably with no children, but hey..life happens, and I love children so that's not a problem. But, in my experience, women my age with children tend to be angry at an ex......(sorry...just being honest), and I don't need the drama. I have a awesome career, work more than I should, but just have that one piece missing. If you're froggy....jump............you never know

Date a soulmate from United States. Well...

I would consider myself grounded, genuine and motivated. Important traits are trust, integrity and good communication. Perseverance and patience are equally important. Someone who will stick through the good times and the bad.
Don't sweat the small stuff...just be happy and try to treat people the way you want to be treated.
Interests are fitness, mountain biking, golfing, hiking with my dog, and just about anything athletic. I enjoy reading, cooking, and Starbucks. Weekend trips to Breck, Estes Park or Vegas!

Meet someone special from United States. Hi, I would genuinely like to meet a woman with similiar interests,morals, and has the intent to build a permanent, loving relationship with me.
Please feel free to say hello and ask any questions you may have. I'm the father of a beautiful and dynamic 12 year old little girl. She lives in Seattle with her mother. I truly enjoy being in the company of other people, although I still value my alone time just as much. I'm physically fit; smart; witty; funny and funloving; like comedy; history; travel; music; sports; Hawaiian coffee; wearing loose, comfortable clothing; languages; culture; schooling and education; reading; effective writing; interior decorating; darts; pool; hiking; learning to play the guitar; doing little and big projects around my new home; walking in a warm rain shower; not taking myself too seriously; and keeping in touch with or trying to locate people who have touched and blessed my wonderful life over the years; and, of course - HAWAIIAN BEACHES!. I like jokes, both clean and dirty. I also enjoy nice walks outside; watching sporting events (at the stadium or on TV); attending my church and developing a good fellowship; reading; watching movies; listening to music; spending time with honest, genuine, good hearted people who want to have a positive impact on people within our community and are cognizant of the lives their actions affect. I also enjoy hanging out in my Irish pub in my basement home wet bar while listening to music, watching movies, sporting events and shooting pool.You do not have to be good at pool (I am only average); just a good attitude to have fun and enjoy the company of others. I am also a big NFL fan;college football fan and a Major League Baseball fan.
My dislikes are people who cannot follow through on what they say and profess to be in life; to include selfish, self centered, rude, arrogant, childish, unaccountable people or a combination of all previously mentioned. I also detest child, elderly, animal and women abusers. I desire at this stage in my life to be in the company of people who are financially and emotionally independent as myself, self sufficient, EDUCATED beyond high school or are pursuing post high school/graduate education; have dealt with their emotional/childhood issues effectively and understand that unconditional love and acceptance of others is a "two way street." Talk is cheap and the true measure/motives of someone's words and deeds are apparent when problems in life/the relationship arise, not when everything is going "good" and without the normal encounter of conflicts, which all couples ultimately will come across in their relationship and have to work through. Substance is verified by life's small and big trials :). I love life and want someone special who has the same flexibility and freedom that my life will soon have (after official retirement from the military in July 2012); DISCLAIMER: If you have a history of being "flakey," emotionally unstable, have not "found yourself" or like "metro, demasculinized" men so you can feel in control of any and everyone do not contact me because I will figure you out quickly.
I am a student at Pikes Peak University (finishing up my civilian paralegal certification.) I have also completed 23 years of active military service and will be retiring in the Colorado Springs area in my home within the local area. I am hoping to find work in the legal field in Colorado Springs upon my retirment. Ok, joke of the month: What do you call a surfer who recently broke up with his girlfriend?...Homeless.LOL! (great joke in Hawaii) :). P.S, I am an Afghanistan war vet, but I can assure you, I am healthy (no PTSD issues, etc) The Afghanistan experience for me was truly a positive one for me. Can you APPRECIATE a good man who is emotionally, financially and spiritually stable, funny, and knows what a commitment involves? if so please contact me. Only sincere inquries need apply.

Date people from United States. I am a caring and confident man. . I am very active, and can due most everything. I Play in the dirt, take a trip to the beach, go out for a nice dinner. I would definetly describe myself as a very active, outgoing personality, and my interests reflect that. I have a pleasant perspective on life and always think of things in a positive manner. I work hard all the time to evolve into the best person I can be. I am very spontaneous and can get ready in a heart beat for whatever. I enjoy my occupation and give it my all. I involve my two kids in most every thing I do. We are all scuba certified and take a trip a year to scuba. Well that pretty much sums it up. Hope to hear from you.

Meet men and women from United States. As much as I love my Kindle and a great book, there are just some things in life that must be experienced. The thrill of travel, the satisfaction of creating a great meal and a smile that radiates happiness are just a few that top my list of favorite 'things'.
I'm lucky to be in a place where my time is actually mine to spend as I wish. I take weekend excursions to places like Oregon and California, but I'm also happy when I'm watching a foodie show and trying to recreate some new flavor they're talking about. I'm the type that likes to do things to help others, especially kids, and I really enjoy being able to visit museums from Amsterdam to Denver (and countless places in between).
I've crossed quite a few places and things off of my 'life list' but there are so many left to still experience! While I'm enjoying myself, I know that it would all be more fun with someone by my side. I'm drawn first to a woman's smile; I'm talking a genuine smile here, not simply an upturn of the lips but a smile that shines through her eyes and attitude!
My ideal partner agrees that life is too short to be unhappy, is comfortable holding hands or expressing affection in public and wants to invest time in our relationship. She's lived enough to learn that we'll have good and bad times, but at the same time is devoted enough to believe in us through it all. She is compassionate, honest and lives a life of integrity.
If that sounds like you, and you're ready to live a life of adventure, I'd like to hear from you!

Date a soulmate from Colorado Springs, United States. Hi. I'm a damaged guy looking for a messed up girl to date and have fun with. If it leads to more that would be great. I have been single for a few years, but eventually I would like to share my life again. I'm not sure I understand the puckered lips pictures I always see here. My best feature is probably my strong, warm hands. One of the most important components to a good relationship is that we share similar standards of living.
If you don't have a picture posted here, you probably shouldn't be doing this. I don't mean to sound negative, but if you have "princess" or "can you keep up with me?" in your profile we most likely won't be a good match. I'm a big fan of good grammar, too.
I won't bore you with a long story here, but I have some hobbies and interests as well as a good job that fuels them. Say hello if you'd like and good luck to all y'all.

Meet someone special from Colorado Springs, United States. Alright... Back for more abuse ;)
About me, and who I'm looking for? Well, where to begin?
For starters, I reside in Mountain Shadows of Colorado Springs, and as most of you know, these past 4 weeks have been pretty tough with the fires... Lost part of my home, but 348 lost everything... so I consider myself very fortunate and feel for those who lost it all:( Time to rebuild/repair and move on with life!
I guess I should also explain my username... as I'm not some lush or boozehound :) Let's just say I "work in the industry"... and all the other names I typically used were taken. Yes, I make spirits... (not the ghostly kind!) and that's all I'll say for now- If interested, I'll be glad to share more.
Now, about Match.com .... Yes, I am back - Tried this once about a year ago... and between the 100 22yo hotties from New York that contacted me daily, that all had dying relatives in Nigeria... I can't say I had that great of an experience here... Pulled my profile after 11 days of my 6 month membership... Wrote Match - never heard back - yet here I am again... Must be a glutton for punishment ;) Kidding... Seems this is where most ppl hang... and am looking to make new friends, and maybe more... We shall see!
About me? I've been told I'm kind, caring, giving, perceptive, loyal, honest, and very family-oriented... I'm all about integrity, morals, and values... Yeah, I know... old school kinda stuff... but I prefer that.
Anyway - I enjoy traveling - Lived in 22 States and 4 countries... Just back from New Zealand due to a family 911 - but seems we've turned the corner with all that, and is time to get back on with life! I see most 'cap' their age requirements at "45"... So let's talk about this... I do have 2 kiddos that live with their mom in New York... She is remarried and we only connect on major holidays... and that was like 13 years ago now.... So no 'mama drama' here.... and seek the same in a partner...
I don't smoke, and prefer to find someone who didn't as well... I'm not some joe-six-pack-adonis that works out at the gym every day... so if that's what floats your boat, I'd suggest moving on to the next profile - and I wish you the best :) I am a Christian... and my values and morals match that... I'm not a 'bible-beater' but do believe in God, and it plays a role in my life... I think we all need a moral compass of sorts... and that is mine.
I'm NOT looking for a 1-night fling... In fact, by most peoples standards, I may be considered a saint - but am far from perfect ;) Yes, I have a halo - but it does have a few tarnished spots here and there;) We all have baggage... it's just how well you've packed it for your next journey in life... Right? So please make sure your seat-belts are fastened, your tray tables are locked in the upright position, and buckle up and enjoy the ride! :)
If you've made it this far?! Wow! What I'm looking for? Someone who is family-oriented, interested in starting a relationship that would (hopefully) lead towards marriage... Desires having a family (that means diaper-duty!) I know some of you all are kinda past that stage of your life... but that is a non-negotiable for me... something I really desire with my future partner in crime:) Please be a non-smoker... (as I'm allergic) ... Oh, speaking of... I'm also deathly allergic to cats... So to all my feline lovers out there... unless I camp outside your front door, I see no future... and would never ask you to give up your furry friend on my behalf:)
What else? As you can see, I'm an open-book and love to communicate past the "How's the weather" kinda stuff... I am deep... and I think smart is SO sexy... Sheik geeks are a turn on... but so is the 'girl next door' :)

Date people from Colorado Springs, United States. Quality guy looking for a quality girl. Simple as that right?-ha ha. So anyway, I’d like to meet a great friend mixed with great chemistry to share some adventures with. I have a lot to offer the right person and otherwise I don’t mind getting to know some new people and friends along the way but not looking to just serial date.
So what am I looking for? Amazing chemistry is always a good thing, and mixed with Honest and real friendship, great communication, respect and passion would be a pretty awesome place to start. Where the “sum is greater than the parts” I guess you could say- I'm just looking for that high level “thing” at this point in my life. So, a woman that could enjoy much or all of the following: Good conversation over coffee, a nice drink here and there, and or over a great dinner. Someone who is a music and movie fan (Could dig a good John Cusack film or old John Hughes movies for example), Someone who would like to check out some live music and would be into checking out and supporting the fact that I play in a band and have been a serious guitar player since like Jr. High-smile. A women who is a little into sports and the outdoors -but I wouldn’t expect them to have to do all things I do (You’re saying thank god right?-lol). Very importantly!, A woman who can support that I have two beautiful daughters that I love with all my heart and that live with me part time. A few more little facts about me: I love working on my house and fixing it up inside and out. I have a water-ski boat down in Pueblo. I was an officer in the Army, I'm into politics, I'm athletic, I can dance, I'm into football (Love the St. Louis Rams fan-formerly the LA Rams), tennis, skiing, water skiing, rollerblading etc. I'm from California, I have family in Cali and Seattle WA., I'm a licensed hair stylist (I used to do it full time and all the way through college), I went to college at CSU (FT. Collins), Baylor (Texas), and Temple (PA) and now I'm a doctor of physical therapy believe it or not -Yea, I know that all sounds pretty crazy and there's even some more that I’ll tell you about later-laughing.
Bottom line I would love to date a woman that is positive, honest, caring, sexy, adventurous, loyal, intelligent, attractive and has, and is looking for much of the above. I’ve always gotten my fair share of attention from women in life, work and elsewhere but not into just dating numbers and am truly looking for someone to fill the above bill-wink. So let’s get to know each other and see what happens. If you've read this far, you must be really bored today as well-laughing. Thanks for taking the time to get through it and take care.

Meet men and women from Colorado Springs, United States. I am a successful professional; optimistic and passionate in all aspects of my life. I care very deeply about my work, exercise weekly, love spending time with my child and enjoy an active social life (there is so much to do here and abroad how could anyone ever be bored?). Nevertheless, I am still left with a great deal of energy for, and abiding interest in finding, the one thing that I am missing in my life: a long-term relationship hopefully leading to something permanent.
While I have as much need for time alone as most people I want a situation where spending time together is the norm, rather than the exception. A once-a-week dinner, movie and a sleep-over does not represent a complete relationship to me. If two people enjoy each others company one expects that they would want to maximize their time together. Sometimes just looking up and seeing that particular someone across the room is all that it takes to make me happy, even if we are engaged in different activities.
I am comfortable expressing my thoughts and feelings and like frequent communications with my partner. Few things are more uplifting than receiving loving emails throughout the day and phone calls when apart. Affection, when one is lucky enough to find it, is continuous. To place this in context, unless I am asleep, in a plane, a meeting or a legal proceeding, you will never have to wait long to hear back from me.
I am not interested in simultaneous, or a series of casual, relationships. There are other Internet sites available for casual affairs. Rather, I would like to invest my energy in building a lasting relationship with someone who already appears to be a close fit. Practically speaking, this means that at an obvious stage of dating you won’t have to ask if I am seeing anyone else; I won’t be.
I think that I have a very good idea of who I am, what it is that I am looking for and have to offer the right woman. I am interested in meeting someone who is equally self-assured, who knows herself and what it is that she is looking for in a man.
There are many women out there with interesting lives to share (and you may have found the same to be true with the variety of men who have shown interest in you). There are, however, three qualities in which I am particularly interested in a prospective long-term companion that guide my choice: 1) brains; 2) disposition; and 3) chemistry.
I strongly prefer the company of intelligent and well-educated women (although there is overlap, the two are not the same). No matter how emotionally and physically charged the connection between two people most of a relationship will involve conversation. The breadth and depth of that discourse, by and large, will determine the success or failure of the relationship. Also, I find that brainpower is intrinsically sexy.
I am looking for a woman who is optimistic, energetic and bright in all aspects of her life. “Vivacious” and “cheerful” are adjectives describing a complementary match for me. Every one of us has suffered romantic setbacks in our lives or else we would not be here seeking a partner. The ability to maintain a joy for life in the face of these setbacks is very important to me.
Chemistry, obviously, is essential. Nothing else will compensate if it is absent. I define chemistry as the interplay between two individuals’ physical appearance and charisma. Both physical attractiveness and charisma must be present, though to a certain degree an abundance of one can make up for a deficit in the other. Chemistry also encompasses physical compatibility, an essential component of a relationship lasting beyond a certain length of time.
When these three qualities are present a couple can connect intellectually, personally and physically. Such a three-fold connection represents my ideal in the long-term relationship that I seek.
If any of this resonates I would enjoy hearing from you.
