Date single man from Fort Collins, United States. I moved from Chicago to Fort Collins in 2003. I absolutely love Colorado and everything it has to offer - as well as some of the stuff it doesn't (i.e. crime, traffic...not as much anyway). I love the outdoors, and try to spend a good amount of time knee deep in mountain streams with a fly-rod in my hand, or hiking in some of the beautiful places that we have the privilege of enjoying here. I enjoy checking out live music, a show, or just having a nice dinner too. My faith is very important to me. I know I'm nowhere close to perfect, and am not expecting to find someone that is. But, I am looking for a Christian woman that takes her spiritual walk seriously. If she can do that without taking herself too seriously, that's even better!
Meet someone special from Fort Collins, United States. outgoing, confident, and relaxed. I love to with family and friendsand friends and relationships are important to me. Family is the most important to me of all relationships. I'm looking for someone to share my life with and not for a mother figure. I like to be out going and adventerous, but not a total risk taker without reviewing the independent consequences associated with the various risks.
Date a soulmate from Fort Collins, United States. Ready 2 Go. That summarizes how I look at the place my life is in. It took me 8 months of working at the grief process of loss of marriage - now, I feel "light", unburdened, fully present with other women. And the big one for me - I am, whole-heartedly, ready to go, as much as my life will affortd, to a place of _really_ living each day fully - having as many FulfiFllling days as possible! Duh, right? Well, turns out it's taken me 43 years to finally get this (probably from deeper spirituality... yes, definitely...
So, since completely "recovering", I've spent a lot of time thinking about what exactly that looks like to me. To help you ladies understand the constraints I work under: I have 2 kids, 24% of time. I am a Big Time dedicated Dad, in terms of helping them grow up in this whack world of '11, and being as good a role model as I possibly can. Their mother and I are "friendly" enough, and my kids indifferent as long as total hours the same for them with me; so I have flexibility in having large contiguous chunks of time opening up my schedule substantially, as needed to pursue fulfillment :)
Next, my job does not now impose a daily schedule on me, and travel requirements from it are very low at this point (I can't always count on that). I make enough to modestly go where I want to go for "adventures" of most kinds, in most places. This to me, is just about right in balance between $ chased, and $ used for fun, fulfillment, and purpose.
That's about it in constraints, which makes this 43-year old _very_ happy :)
OK, what follows in the next few paragraphs is my original definition of myself, which at the core has changed little, with very little exception. I note below where I switch back to 7/31/11
I am a very open, warm and affectionate person. Sharing truth and emotions is something I really enjoy - shallow chit chat just isn't me.
Living a balanced life is important to me, with respect to self, partner, children, spirituality, household and work. For simple example, while I like to maintain a clean house, if things are in reasonably good shape I much prefer to spend fun/close time with a partner than really "polish" up the house during the evening. Unless of course we're hosting something social the next day...
I'm not much into organized religion, though am certainly OK with it. I have a strong relationship with what I see to be God, which I primarily cultivate through communing with nature. Backpacking is the epitome of that for me. Close contact and deep relationships with people nurture my spirituality as well.
Socializing is something I enjoy doing, but am not the kind of guy who wants to be out every weekend evening. Not a party animal at all anymore, though I had quite a history there! Again, I'm more about balance - one weekend night out at a party, or with good friends for dinner, is good for me, with the other being spent just us.
END of original excerpt
I do work pretty hard at my job, too and do get fulfillment from it. But, to me, the bottom line about work is that it's a means to all the other good ends that life holds. I have 2 businesses of my own, one in tech, one in marketing; I consider part-time and contract work with large companies, BUT, trying hard not to have to go back to working for "the man" full time. I was with HP, Motorola, blah blah in tech, but resist going back, cuz I'm Ready To Go!
As far as what I'm looking for, beyond what's described in the other sections, it's become pretty darn simple to me at 43.pretty simple for me. I'm sure you'd guess part of that from the above: an open, warm, affectionate and balanced person. Commonality in many interests isn't major for me, as I really like learning new things. Some commonality is important to me though, just as a starting point.
Boy is it impossible to give a good picture of oneself in a short "essay". If the above sounds like you, or close to you, I'd love to chat to get to know you, then maybe have
