Date men from United States / Colorado / Fort Collins, 58 year old

Date a soulmate from Colorado, United States. I'm looking for an open-hearted gal to share in my "song" of connecting people with mountains. I combine my big heart, inquiring mind, and playful spirit in all that I do. My New Year's resolution is to do everything with love. I am good at being there for others - now I want to find someone who both will be there for me and who sees me. To really see me, you will need a deep connection to nature.
Friends say I'm gentle and kind. I’m healthy and strong, with no physical issues except seasonal and dairy allergies. People note my youthful looks, energy and endurance. I’m happy - "pain is inevitable but suffering is optional". Being positive is important to me - I try to live by “lumberjack rules”. In old lumber camps, if you complained about breakfast, you cooked it the next morning. The glass is rarely empty and a full glass has no room for growth anyway.
According to Helen Fisher, I'm a negotiator with an explorer wing - a passionate, affectionate, romantic, sensual person with lots of love to give. As a Myers-Briggs ENFP (champion), I recharge in groups where I can chair meetings or be a worker bee. I’m honest, friendly, and committed (or is that committable?). Emotional connections and availability are essential for me. Writing poetry and listening to music help me settle and center. I do have scars - I'm told that I need an emotionally generous partner.
Professionally, I am a creative scientist and teacher. I am financially secure, having retired from the tenured faculty to do research and consult part-time. While I love Fort Collins, opportunities abound the Boulder-Golden area too.
Spiritually, I am in awe of people and how we evolved. As a scientist, I scrutinize my beliefs - faith is not enough for me - I look for a "why" that makes sense.
I am inspired by nature, often while hiking, biking (touring and smelling the roses!), mtn climbing (not scary stuff), and skiing (backcountry XC especially). My sports are about playful dancing and flow – competition does not appeal to me. I apply collaborative ethics (NOLS "Expedition Behavior") to the no-drop bike rides and mtn outings I lead - no trip is a success unless everyone is happy. My favorite role is the sweep, making sure everyone is safe and happy.
While there are places and peaks I want to visit, I am no peak bagger - I take time to embrace a summit before joining it. For me, it is about the journey, the nap in the meadow, not the finish line. Sharing a brilliant sunset with my love, wrapped in a blanket, now that would be bliss.
My 30 year marriage ended 5 years ago. As a high endurance type, I put commitment before compatibility. Now, I celebrate our good years and her new successes. I am a fan of our sons (30, 32), their gals, and my new grandson - I visit their worlds as a friend. I would welcome adding teens to my family.
I take responsibility for my happiness - I do not need someone to complete me. But I do want to share my journey and be a compassionate witness for a partner who also works to be aware of her life's currents, who knows the difference between heart-centered love and fear-based attachment, and who can forgive - if you can't forgive, you can't dance.
I am looking for a long-term relationship with a strong, happy, well-integrated gal who I can support as we dream big and love fully. My sister Wendy says I need a gentle yet strong person who will bring out the sweetheart in me, and I respect her wisdom. I seek someone equally committed to awareness, simplicity, and reality. I hope for someone who can gleefully dance through the mountains or join me in a 60 mi bike ride.
I am building a future of compassionate service and playful adventure and would treasure a like-minded gal with whom I can gather strength and be truly at home.
P.S. Sorry for my profile's length - I believe in full disclosure and hope for the same from others. Honesty and trust are very important to me!

Meet single man from Colorado, United States. If you are my perfect match, you are curious, fun, confident, and above all, intelligent and committed to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. You have a great smile and are attractive without glitz. You enjoy physical activity and the outdoors but also enjoy quiet times curled up by a fire, watching thunderstorms and naps in the lakeside grass.
I am a guy who loves the Lord like at no other time in my life. I strive to understand His Word better and am ever amazed at its power, the power of prayer and the power of love and grace that Jesus taught. I am not perfect and am thankful for God's grace. I acknowledge the Lord in all my ways. I work hard at my job because it honors God. Still, I don't take myself too seriously... there is lots of humor in everyday life.
I have been employed by the same company for over 30 years and enjoy my job most when I am learning new things.
I value spending time with friends and family.
I enjoy the outdoors, especially bicycling in the summer. I enjoy both road riding and not too technical mountain biking. I also enjoy hiking and am taking up golf. In winter, I enjoy snowshoeing and not afraid to admit I had trouble spelling "snowshoeing"
I am interested in meeting and developing a relationship in person. If the relationship is planted on good soil, God will bless it and it will grow and flourish. At that time I am willing to commit to marriage- whew, that sounds scary right now. I don't mind e-mailing for a while but I really favor meeting as soon as possible. I believe the chemistry has to be there, but realize it can take a few dates to know if it's there.
I believe that a marriage relationship must honor God and put Him first to be completely fulfilling. I pray that God will bless me with someone that honors God first, is able to express herself, and is willing to stick it out through the hard times. I will look into her eyes and thank God for bringing her into my life and allowing me into hers.
Footnote: As time goes on, I am realizing that e-mailing and long distances can be a blessing too. The Lord will decide what is best, so I am open to that too.

Date a man from Colorado, United States. I'm very active and love being outdoors, hiking, camping, skiing, biking, riding motorcycles and traveling. Some of my favorite spots in Colorado are Crested Butte ( where I use to live ), the hot springs in Pagosa and my cabin in Pitkin. I also love to work with my hands and have built several homes for myself along with cabinets and furniture to go in them. The simple thinks in life are the most important to me, spending time with my kids and family, nature, sunset on a beach or mountain with a glass of wine, shared with someone special.
That someone special would be, active, outdoorsy, fun loving, attractive, honest and adventurous. Someone who prefers blue jeans and a t-shirt but occasionally likes to put on a little black dress for a night out. She would have similar interest but also her own goals and interest. A positive person who thinks the best is yet to come and wants someone to share it with. A women who enjoys life, laughs and is willing to try new things.
Computers and social media sights are a great way to find people with similar interest but I'm more of a face to face person and would rather meet over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and see where it goes from there.

Meet someone special from Colorado, United States. Hello and thanks for checking out my profile
Casual acquiantances would probably say I'm easy going, intelligent, articulate with a good sense of humor. My good friends would probably say I'm true to my convictions, honest, & reliable. I see myself as average intelligence, above average ambition, and proud of who I am.
I'm a successful business owner who only works half days (12 hours a day) To create a balance between work and pleasure I split my time coaching youth hockey in the winter and riding my Harley-Davidson motorcycle in the summer. I was married once for 32 years. Separated in 2002 and divorced in 2005. I'm business partners with my exwife and we have a working relationship. I have two grown children and two grand kids all of whom I'm close to.
What I hope to find in a lady is morals and values but not to churchy. Level-headed yet a bit of a spicy adventurous side. One who is comfortable going without make-up but looks gorgeous with it. Finically stable but occasionally finds a awesome deal at good-will.
I'm not looking for another wife or someone who needs to be rescued, but a lady who has a realistic expectation for a consubstantial relationship.

Date a man from Fort Collins, United States. I once read the best place to meet a single person was in the grocery store-it just didn't say which one or what section.
My friends say that I am just a "nice guy". I have a very outgoing personality - I haven't met a stranger yet. Does this sound like a salesperson? I have an optimistic attitude. I've been president of the local Optimist Club twice. Yes, ladies, there really is an Optimist Club.
I am looking for someone who also has a positive attitude towards life. Someone who will jump in a pickup with a 5th Wheel travel trailer behind it and travel to the Colorado mountains, Wyoming, Montana, Canada or wherever and enjoy the sights and experiences. Someone who will fly to San Francisco for a long weekend and tour the Napa/Sonoma wineries. Someone who will go for bike rides with me. Someone I can drag along to sporting events and will drag me to plays, concerts, etc. (I really don't mind going to these).
Picture yourself cruising with me in my Corvette on a warm summer evening with the top down (the cars). The breeze blowing your hair. The smell of fresh country air. The stereo playing The Eagles-Hotel California, Eric Clapton-Leila, Jimmy Buffet-Margaritaville, or ...
I have a good sense of humor. Life's too short not to laugh at it!
I have two awesome daughters. Both are graduates of CSU.
I enjoy being active - camping, fishing, canoeing, hiking, golfing, biking, and skiing. I also can enjoy a quiet evening at home cuddling and watching a movie or sitting in front of the fireplace with a bottle of wine. I love sitting on my deck with a cold beer on a warm summer evening.
Water is not my strong suit. I can't water ski - people really get a kick out of watching me try to get out of the water. I tried scuba diving and believe that if God wanted us to be underwater, he would have given us gills. I enjoy being at the beach, but prefer to relax and watch the day go by. I do have a canoe that I like to get out on the water and fish from.
I like sports, but I am not a sports fanatic. I like watching a Bronco or CSU football game - GO RAMS! I enjoy a Rockies game every once in a while or spending an evening at the Colorado Eagles hockey game. I am not into health clubs. Tried it a couple of times, but too boring. I would much rather be doing something active-walking, hiking, skiing, whatever.
I am handy to have around the house. I can build or fix almost anything.
I love holding hands, long kisses, soft, warm touches. I will send you flowers just because. I won't forget your birthday or other special occasions. Hugs can really make a difference. Had a rough day? How about a massage?
By the way, if you hang out in the grocery store, can you at least let me know in what store and section I should be looking in.

Meet someone special from Fort Collins, United States. A little about me...my name is Keith.
I am back in hopes of connecting with a sweetheart who will be my one and only! Previously I had hoped you would have cracked the code below so we could visit....oh well, let's try again here for a while!
I am searching for a wonderful companion and partner in life. I am an optimist overall, plus a natural with encouraging words and support for my friends and those I hold dear. In a relationship, I like learning about being a good companion, friend and lover every day we share. We can communicate easily with a note or shout out with a yahoo! You'll see me there as a dufferbird 53 Tell me who you are if you reach out to me....since I am not a current subscriber, I am sure it would be nice to hear from you!
I want to find a companion who can appreciate living in the day and moments, and also be open to commitment! Not wanting to rush things, because something feels good, but open to investing yourself when it is clear a true connection on many important levels and something special is evident. When we agree..........when we know it is special, I will be devoted to our mutual bliss! I value good communication, tolerance and patience and being selfless or selfish depending on the circumstance! I am a person who loves to be close and am the amorous sort and am looking for the same in a partner! I am a one woman man and I hope to find love and develop something very special to last a lifetime.....!
I enjoy many activities like golf, cooking, hiking and gardening, music and dancing and enjoying the outdoors as well as indoor fun and games. Snuggling up to watch a movie or a good show on TV is fine....a romantic diner, dancing in the living room or anywhere with soft music playing sounds wonderful to me.... Ultimately, It is the person I am with not the event or place that is important to me...
As a Couple:
We may have differing likes and viewpoints, but can see how that can make for enlightening experiences and interesting conversations! We are engaged in mutual enjoyment of each others company, and activities........and with our friends too. Generally we would be "down to earth" (in the best sense of the phrase) when it comes to the essentials in life, and can appreciate the finer things as well.........still, "things" are not what bring joy in life as I see it.
When I golf and I do enjoy the game especially with a wonderful companion regardless of skill level, I like to have fun and encourage a connection with my partner and this is the key to scoring with me, I am a dufferbird 53, of course with that score you know that's why IM having a smiley face when we chat!
Hoping to find someone who enjoys conversation and sharing time and activities together......... mutual love and affection......and is looking to truly connect in every way, seeking true intimacy and willing to try! I am sure it is worth the effort.
Best wishes, Keith

I don't like head games or mean spirited peopleI'm looking for a lady who above all else will be my friend. Someone who will accept me for who I am, and not try to make me someone I'm not
The pictures are a few years old, but I still look relatively the same. I am trying to update them.

Meet single man from United States. Wow. Talking about myself is tough, but here goes. I’m a positive, easy going, optimistic, and motivated individual. I feel that each day is a gift and we should make the most of every one. Staying fit physically, mentally, and spiritually is important to me and allows me to enjoy all life has to offer. I would hope to find the same qualities in my partner. I enjoy staying active playing golf, skiing, hiking, camping, backpacking, fly fishing (catch and release only), bike riding, roller blading, etc. (not necesarily in that order). Not much of a TV watcher. I’m open to any new experience and would support and encourage the interests of my special partner.
I have a giving personality, am honest, hard working, affectionate, and creative in my job and personal interests. Just about any activity is great when you have that special someone to share it with.
I appreciate the arts, play a couple instruments, and I am mechanically able from woodworking to car repair. Love to build things and work as a team. I have a lot of varied interests, but not a fanatic about any of them. I like eating healthy and living an earth friendly lifestyle.
Trust and open honest communication are key to any worthwhile relationship and is a must for me.
I feel it’s important to encourage others whenever the opportunities present themselves and never forget those who may be less fortunate than us.
I’d love to get to know a positive, attractive, affectionate, funny, caring, creative, and compassionate woman
and discover if we have similar life goals and interests.
A great date would be a day of skiing or hiking one of the beautiful Colorado trails, and cooking a great
meal together while getting to know each other.
If you would like to experience some of life’s adventures, get to know a great friend, companion, and possibly your soul mate, let’s see if there is chemistry!
Thanks for spending your time and stopping by!

Date a man from United States. I believe that life is just so short and we must wake up every day ready to be in the moment . I want to enjoy life to the fullest and spend my days seeking and embracing whatever the new day brings. I like to travel, and want to see more of this world. I also love to travel in my motorhome and explore the United States and Canada. I have 4 beautiful grandkids and love to spend time with them. I like to SKUBA and fly fish, and have been all over the world with those passions. I also like to garden and like to dig into the soil! I like to walk, hike, and ride my bicycle. I have participated and led medical missions to third world countries and love to be involved with that. I have also taught school in third world countries and would like to do that again. Finally, i look at all of life's experiences as something to learn from and i look forward to learning new things and embracing the spiritual journey that i am on. I would like to meet a woman who is financially secure, emotionally steady, and does not have to have a man carry her along. She should enjoy her family, find humor in all of life, and embrace meeting new people and adventures along the way.

Meet someone special from United States. I love laughing and making others laugh. I love the mountains, hiking and am looking for someone to share time with, laugh and perhaps do some traveling. I am a good listener but also have the gift of gab. I lived in Fort Collins for 28 yrs. and worked as a mailman there. I retired last summer and moved to Glacier View Meadows which is about 10 miles east of Red Feather Lakes which is NW of Ft. Collins. I like to read and write and am trying to get something published and break into that market. So far I've published on web Ezines. I've spent most of my spare time the last 12 yrs. with the writing endeavor. I'm financially secure so that makes it possible but it's a lonely quest, so I'm looking for someone to spend time with because I'm an outdoors person and can't sit at the computer constantly. (I can sit and type out a story but when it comes to telling about I'm stumped!) If interested, send me email, perhaps we'll have a cup of coffee or lunch sometime. Nothing to lose but an hour of our time. Best wishes to all of you.
