Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Erie, 39 year old

Date someone special from Erie, United States. Ok, first of all, if you happen to live in China or the former Soviet Union or something like that, I don't want to see your "special" pictures and no I will not send you money so you can get a visa...Good grief, I don't know what is worse, that people fall for that, or that I look like an easy mark. Good humor there, I always picture it is some 400lb, hairy guy named Pasha with a high pitched voice... Now then, a few random things about me...
-I am 7th generation Colorado born...hope to someday build a house on the land my family settled on in 1859
-I lived in Dallas and Austin TX for 5 years before moving back to help family, because it's what you do.
-I am passionate about education knowledge, the world we live, I gave up trying to save the world, but I think we can make a bigger impact within our communities...I know what you are thinking, no republican would ever say that...but it is still true
-I believe there should a constitutional amendment outlawing the DH
-I hate heights, which is why I am first to get on top of the hay stack, or climb ladders, or hike a mountain like Spearhead
-I believe men and women ARE different, and isn't it great! But, we better figure out how to communicate with each other
-I like romance, the little things, like notes or flowers at work, making dinner together at home...with candles, wearing something because you know the other person thinks you look great in it, or how it feels against their cheek and other little things such as that.
-I believe kisses are necessary and should be long, wet, and savored.
-I believe there is poetry in ice hockey, and at times a lil' blood, 'but chicks dig scars' right?
-I value honesty, perseverance, loyalty and honor and I try to live to those ideals in all aspects of my life
-I'm driven in my professional life, I enjoy teaching but I know there is more for me yet to do in this life
-That drive however, has been problematic with the relationship side of my life (I'm still single,) well that and awful timing
-I believe there is nothing that can't be overcome, and that there is a ghost of a chance we can find someone to love and we better make it last.
So, there it is. As for what I would like in a woman...I would hope that she has a good heart, passionate, comfortable in a dress for Puccini or jeans for the Rox. I would like that she is smart and motivated, is not dependent on me, her own woman with a bit of that 'Southern Charm' and an appreciation for a modern chivalry. Someone who can share our interests. Lack of drama would be a plus. But in the end, when it is all said and done I would like to be able to sit on a swing with her years from now, and holding her hand be able to say through it all we were friends, and that has made all the difference. Granted, physical and emotional attraction are important, especially at this point, but for me, this is what it comes down too.
So, if you think we might hit it off, send me a wink and we'll see! And if not, best of luck in your continued search through this overloaded and complicated world of dating we all find ourselves in...but it's better than getting set up for blind dates by married friends right?

Meet a man from Erie, United States. I am in a good place right now. I am happy and content with my life. I am intelligent, some say funny, honest (sometimes too honest), sarcastic, loyal, good listener...
I'd like to find someone who would be my best friend and a lover (eventually, of course) - someone easygoing, intelligent, sarcastic (not a requirement, but nice to have:), funny, curious about the world with a different viewpoint than the masses. A little challenge to my viewpoint would be welcomed. A partner in crime for some adventures around Colorado... and possibly more.
I have the most adorable 10 year old girl who lives with me sometimes, but have no fear she has an awesome mother so you can be a good friend...

Date men and women from Erie, United States. I try to focus on the simple aspects of life. I appreciate the finer things, but honestly don't believe that truly happy can come without simplicity. I am a very happy and optimistic person that loves to find those same traits in others. I think that there is an elegant balance to be struck between "opposites attract .. and similar interests" in a relationship. I embrace the fact that a relationship is a commitment that takes work and i highly value the bond that is built between two people committed to a common cause and acting in one anothers best interest. I have not dated a great deal for the past several yrs simply because i got to that point of no longer pressuring myself to date/marry, like so many of my friends had, and took ownership of the fact that I had some work to do in several capacities and wanted to take the time to nail all that down. I am very thankful and deeply appreciate where I am in my life and feel that the time and dedication I have given to my "evolutionary efforts" has allowed me to see myself and situations around me much more effectively for what they really are, versus some of the labels or generalizations I might have been more influenced by in the past.
Now that Im through all the "heavy" talk .. on to "how I roll" on a daily basis. I am very lighthearted and insist upon having fun and enjoying some level of humor in basically everything I do. My life experiences have taught me that cliches suck, but I still use them so .. "not to sweat the small stuff, BTW its all small stuff". Things are rarely what they seem and shared perspectives and some great conversation (up to and including personal harassment .. of course) can bring about the lasting respect between to "engaged" minds. I lean toward the "live each day to the fullest" side, but believe that "the fullest" can still include sleeping in .. leisurely going about getting the day started and generally just taking it easy. With schedule I keep, both work and recreationally, the occasional day of "slow down, refuel and rebuild" becomes more mandatory than just suggested. While all of the amazing recreation CO has to offer would obviously be great to enjoy as "a couple" .. the lazy days as I have just described could be some of the most cherished :)
I just moved to CO from Lincoln, NE early last fall ('11). I was born in Denver and am ecstatic to be back. The energy I feel from people who absolutely love living where they live is very inspiring to me. I have a great job, and have to put a lot of time toward that, but refuse to let a career take me away from the people and things that I love. Definitely the "work to live .. not live to work" type. Never married and no kids of my own, but love kids and am entirely open to seeing someone that already has kids. As far as pets go .. don't think I have met one i didn't like .. very open there.
So, there's the quick version of "about me". The "what I am looking for" is a bit tougher to put to words. I am very open minded to what will ultimately lead to a relationship for me, and am simply confident that that question will be answered more by the "unpredicted .. and out of my control" than something I try to bundle into a picture.

Meet people from Erie, United States. Little about me. I have been out of the dating seen for quite sometime. I am not a bar person, nor do I reallly want to meet someone at the bar. So I thought I would give this a shot. I enjoy hanging with my special someone or a simple quiet dinner for two. I also enjoy spending time with family and friends, a BBQ on a Sunday night or maybe a simple poker party . I have two kids that mean the world to me. I am a hard worker and take my responsibilities seriously. I am a fairly simple guy with not a bunch of layers. If you would like to know more give me a shout.
What I'm looking for: First off I'm looking for someone with thier head on straight, someone that isn't an emotional disaster. If you are a player no need to reply. Good sense of humor and likes to laugh is a must. Must like kids and except that I have kids. Must have good spiritual and family beliefs. Must be beautiful on the inside but some beauty on the outside doesn't hurt.

Date single man from Erie, United States. I'm funny, I like to laugh and make others laugh. I have been on a serious workout kick and I can't stop. I'm hard working but know how to balance work and life. I enjoy dancing, hanging out and exploring new sites. I would like a person who does the same, but otherwise is just a fun person to hang out with and can keep up with the conversation.

Meet a soulmate from Erie, United States. Hey girls, how are ya? I moved to CO about 4 years ago from the Midwest....LOVE it here! Being able to play golf and hit the slopes in the same weekend is unbelievable!!
I work from home when I'm not travelling....so, getting out of the house for dinner, a movie, shopping, golf, hiking, a run, or whatever is a must for me. I also enjoy a good game of pool, throwing darts, or just relaxing and enjoying life. I love to be active - always something to be doing that's fun, right!?! Of course, I love quiet nights in watching movies or whatever as well.
I consider myself a pretty well rounded man...and seem to get along with just about everyone. I clean up pretty good for a nice evening out or in the professional world, but I much prefer and old pair of jeans, my favorite t-shirt and a ball cap. I am very driven in my professional life, but my friends would tell you I'm a lot of fun when I'm away from work.
I am a sucker for a sweet smile and if you can cook, that's a bonus! I would love to meet someone who is confident, enjoys staying fit, wants to share the good times and bad, and most of all sees the positives in life! Take Care, and talk to you soon!!

Date someone special from Colorado, United States. I love to laugh and think that is very important. Looking for a relationship based on friendship. Looking for a trust worthy sincere lady who will laugh at my stupid jokes and listen to my stories. I have a strong desire and drive to make my life/environment the best it can be not so much being "green" but I guess I am stuck on that dream of reaching self actualization. I am looking for someone to share this life with, the goods and the bads. I do think that everyone you run into in this life, enriches your life in some measure or another. If you would like to know more let me know and thanks for reading my ramblings....
