Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Fort Collins, 49 year old

Date a man from Fort Collins, United States. There's the potential for a book here so I'll condense it into Cliffs Notes. I've changed this portion several times now and can never get it exactly how I want it. It seems that most people utilize this space to talk about what they enjoy doing recreationally and you really don't get a good sense of their values and character. Hopefully, I'll be able to put enough out here that you will be able to get that from me, Also, if you e-mail me, I'll know you haven't completely read this profile.
I have a young son who I have wrapped my life and focus around and that has been the greatest life experience I could have ever imagined or hoped for.
I feel a decade younger than my biological age in body, mind and spirit. I think that aspect of life is a mind set which each one of us embraces (or doesn't, as the case may be). Maybe you'd like a guy that smiles when a young baby goes by in the arms of its new parents or stops to talk to one of our seniors as they walk past, I find their intuitive wisdom quickly becoming a vanishing characteristic in todays cultural landscape. Maybe you'd like a guy that not only engages you but can keep up with you.
I tend to do well in any environment: a coat and tie in large social gatherings, jeans and t-shirt at the coffee shop, quiet and determined on the wilderness trail. Just as happy to be a participant as a spectator in most events (explanation is probably required).
Of course I'm looking for someone who is warm, thoughtful, giving etc, but I don't necessarily want an exact copy of myself in the opposite sex. I'm wanting to find someone who is committed to building a relationship together that utilizes the strengths and assets of both people to exponentially increase the positive characteristics that the two will have together. I'm content with where I'm at now, happy with my job and feeling successful. Own my own home, very little debt (other than the mortgage payment), and very excited to be meeting some wonderful, new people out there-but enough about me.
I am looking for a kind, caring woman with integrity, who values honesty, loyalty, commitment, family life, someone with a good sense of humor, a good communicator, a kid at heart, a hopeless romantic, my best friend, someone who can have fun doing just about anything, someone who is open to new adventures / experiences, someone who is patient, knows who she is and what she wants. In return she'll get her best friend, adventuring partner, sympathetic ear and staunchest supporter.
Just so you know-my membership has now expired and I've decided to give Match a rest for awhile.
I can't read e-mails, but I can view your profile and can see if you are interested enough to "wink" at me, so I guess if I see someone I would be interested in, I may join again to start the communication process. Definitely not looking to date a lot of people, just find that special one to pour my energies and efforts into.

Meet men and women from Fort Collins, United States. I want to taste all that life has to offer and want to share it with someone.
I am dedicated to whom I'm with I do listen and I will let you know whats on my mind, even if its that stupid song I can't get out of my head.
Dedicated to my career, But I know when to play as well.
Maybe someday someone will convince me to ski.
Cycling is a passion.
I want to follow up with I have no baggage and I am looking for that in my partner. I have raised my daughter she needs just a bit of my time as she moves into her adult world. Also if your ex is still causing issues and always creating problems please understand I am done with that part of my life and really do not wish to have that around again. This time will come your way soon please understand I want to enjoy it.
Colorado Update. I will be there Mid August and I am looking forward to it.

Date someone special from Fort Collins, United States. Just a simple and goodhearted man interested in finding someone special to spend time with, to share some common interests, good conversation, and see where that all leads. I enjoy both my profession and my time away from it. The work is an outlet for my passion and creativity. Time away is best spent leading an active and fit lifestyle, hanging with my children, and personal growth.
Like to think I am a "good catch" but then realize I'm not a fish...I am however somewhat random and abstract, someone who loves to laugh and lives with a smile on my face. I truly believe laughter is the best medicine. I live a grateful and giving life, with my primary goal in my profession to teach my students how to make a difference in the lives of others. And as I teach, I try to live by being a role model for those things.
While perhaps lacking in height, not lacking in quality, heart, compassion, kindness, energy, or zest for living. I'm very much old school I how I treat others and live my life. Children, family, and friends are gifts. I believe in opening doors, treating a lady like a lady, please and thank you, respect for elders, the golden rule, and saying I'm sorry when I am at fault.
As they say: "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts".
I love teaching and coaching and my profession is a huge part of my life. I am passionate about teaching as well as learning and have just completed my second Masters Degree in the past 5 years. Young people amaze me and I give much of my time to working with them. I coach softball, boys and girls basketball, volleyball and baseball. I like to think I am changing the world 1 middle school student at a time.
While I love my job, it does not consume me. I truly love my time away from my classroom. I am just as passionate about my personal activities which include running, racing, golfing, hiking, camping, traveling, trivia, and time with my 4 children. I especially love my summers when I have a chance to do all of those things without restriction.
Who am I looking for? Hmmmm...don't like to put people into categories or make them fit into my particular view of the world. However, since asked, I would say I am looking for someone who is active, has a great sense of humor, is open to a committed relationship, dislikes drama, and is simply genuine and genuinely simple. If any of that makes sense.
Feel like this is a protracted interview, but difficult to get the "real" me across in the typed word and a few photos. Would enjoy the chance to share more if any of this interested you. Best wishes in your search. All good things...

Meet a soulmate from Fort Collins, United States. I think my closest friends would describe me as outgoing, fun, likes to make people laugh, hard working, dedicated, and honest. I love to share good food and drink with friends....on a patio, at a restaurant, on a tailgate, at my house, "I like to do it here and there, I like to do it anywhere."
Kids make me smile..I work with middle schoolers...enough said.
I would love to meet and establish a relationship with a beautiful human being that is supportive, honest, passionate and compassionate. I will need someone that makes me smile, laugh, and is a true friend...someone that is great to talk to, likes to hang out with friends and can also be O.K. with a quiet evening just relaxing with one another.
What is important?? It is the strong relationships that I have established with people that bring me the most joy and satisfaction.
I can be a jokester and am not afraid to share my best "Elvis" impersonation, sing the Banana Boat song or AC/DC's Back in Black. I love music.. Classic Rock, Country, pop, jazz and live music. I play around with the guitar and enjoy singing along.
Over the last twenty years, I have been a teacher, counselor, coach (basketball, track, and football) and school administrator.
Currently, I am enjoying cycling, spending time at the lake, spending time with my son and working on the house. I like to watch the Broncos and have few favorite T.V. shows. Oh yeah.. I don't get the chance to very often, but I love to sleep in...especially with the right person.

Date people from Fort Collins, United States. I am a mover for United Van Lines and am away from home most of the time. I would love to find a woman who would go on the road with me and then come home to enjoy the fruits of my hard work. I usually go on the road 2 to 3 weeks and then take a week off. When I do take that time off I love to rock hunt and explore the mountains. I like fishing and hunting as well. I am a pretty intelligent man who enjoys conversation with who I am with. I am also very loyal to a woman... (Note: I did not say MY woman) I am looking for a partnership in romance and life! I don't like looking around and would prefer a woman who is like minded. I need attention... To be honest... Quite a bit. It makes me feel needed when a woman gives me her attention. Especially because of my traveling. No lie... Being on the road is hard! But profitable! I am nonviolent and practice Native American Spiritual belief. Very into it... Sweat Lodges, Vision Quest, Sun Dance... These are my rocks that I have built my life on. Very stable. I love humor! In fact I was a Stand Up Comedian some time ago and have started and managed several Improvisation Comedy Groups.

Do you want to meet the guy who will spoil the right lady. Then contact me. I am that guy!

Truth is I am a nice guy who was married for nineteen years before having to divorce..

So here I am looking to meet a beautiful woman inside and out with starlite eyes.
I lead an interesting life style. I travel around the country working for equestrian events as well as own and run an equestrian hunter/jumper facility in Fort Collins. Riding and working on the farm has kept me fit and lean.

Meet men and women from United States. I enjoy hanging out with friends and family very much. I surround myself with good people, good food and good wine. I enjoy my work, and keep my family life separate from my job.
I would love to find someone who also like to travel, and enjoys an outdoor healthy lifestyle.

Date someone special from United States. If there is one characteristic that defines me more than any other, it would have to be my constant desire to learn new things. I'm an environmental planner who recently finished a PhD in environmental policy. I have the ability to glean life lessons out of just about any experience. This tends to make me a very positive person. I'm the kind of person who is always pointing out the positive aspects of even the most awful situations. This attitude also makes me appreciate the experiences and opportunities I've been given in life, and the decisions that I've made. It also makes me very open to new experiences and opportunities.
I'm adventurous, fit, and active. I've been trekking in Nepal and rafted and kayaked some of the most beautiful rivers in the western US. In the last couple of years, I guided a raft down the Grand Canyon and competed in a couple of adventure races that included kayaking, trail running, and mt biking. More recently, I've been running half marathons.
I also cherish the stability and comfort of home and family. I enjoy art galleries and most types of music, and serve on the Board of Directors at an art gallery that displays the work of disabled artists. I can be serious and introspective but I can also make you smile (or laugh until you fall on the floor gasping for breath). I am very aware of my emotions, and am able to share them with sensitivity and compassion. I am truly monogamous, and realize that the right relationship can enrich a life like nothing else.
I prefer women who are curious and open to new experiences. I'm looking for that extraordinary partner. Self-confidence and independence are very attractive to me. Those qualities reflect in every attitude, behavior, and expression.You should like (or at least appreciate) all ethnic foods and cultures, be slow to judge most things, and appreciate a man who is able to understand and express his feelings in a supportive and productive way.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Positive, optimistic, with strong moral value, artistic and organized as well.
I am easy going, spontaneous, enjoy life and live in the moment. I like to live life as the glass is half full and outside the box. I enjoy exploring new ideas and experiences, like to laugh, going out for dinner, camping, fishing, walks, hiking a drink now and again, thunder storms, and staying in cuddling up to a movie.
My business keeps me active and busy, I like where I am in life and looking for someone I can enjoy it with.
What I am looking for is first a BEST FRIEND, someone where the I in a relationship is replaced by WE. Someone who is honest, who has a positive outlook on life, good sence of humor, open to spontaneous ideas, travel and who knows what we can get into! We can spend quality time together emotionally, mentally and physically.
Life is good! It's about US.

Date people from United States. Maybe everyone says this, but I am a down-to-earth, very honest, dependable, humble guy. Trust is the most critical element of a good relationship. I'm lighthearted, like to joke around, talk and just have fun. I like doing just about anything, from quiet nights at home to formal dinner parties/occassions and everything in between. I live in Colorado but I have to admit that I'm not a "camping" kind of guy - I kind of like running water! However, maybe the right woman could convert me over!
My family is my priority. I am the stable one, so if you are looking for a "bad boy", you probably need to choose a different guy!
I am looking for a down to earth genuine woman. Beauty is only skin deep but I do believe the physical attraction must be there first and then we move to the inside! She must be drama free and comfortable in her own skin. I am looking for a secure and confident woman without being arrogant and snobbish. If you fit this description I would love to meet you.

I was in the Navy for 4 years, & only wish I had stayed 20. I love Harley riding on the great open roads. Mountain rides especially. I like a lot of different music, such as Country, new & old. Old time Rock & Roll. Blues, & throw in a little Motown, & I'm good. Love going to concerts, & Big Time sporting events. Especially FOOTBALL games. There's so much more to me.
