Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Golden, 48 year old
Date men and women from Colorado, United States. Hello there and thanks for stopping by.
So...I’m a fairly happy person, grounded in who I am and what my life is about after all these years. I'm a fatally optimistic person by nature, romantic at heart, driven to excellence in myself but with an adventurous soul who’s still lving and looking for a love to share my joy with. I enjoy spending much of my time with my two boyz, travelling the world (Scotland and London this Summer), working in my garden, and doing just about anything outdoors (Winter or summer does not matter). I enjoy wining and dining a lovely lady, and anything artistic and creative that includes dance, paper and pens, clay, a live play, soil and plants, my wardrobe, and most importantly food! My favorite music is old R&B, funk and the blues, 80's punk, 70's musik, but work out to 93.3 and my iTunes most days..
My favorite date would be a concert in the mountains in the late afternoon, food and wine on the grass, followed by a walk home to our hot tub where we watched the full moon rise about the mountains. If I could throw a beach and a bike ride, snorkel, early evening dancing in there I'd do it...
And in thee, what am I looking for? You are a woman who is spiritually aware, emotionally available, who takes care of her mind, body, and soul and has a life of her own. A romantic heart and an intelligent mind are extremely attractive, so is a great kiss (Everything else flows from this!). I’m not looking for someone to take care of me, I’m doing fine on that account, but a partner to share good times with (And bad as life just happens!), and desires to dive deep into the many layers of what two people can share. Someone who is warm and loving, passionate and deadly sexxy, and wants to enjoy life.
At the end of the day chemistry is everything, but I enjoy meeting people along the way. Drop me an email if you’re interested…
Meet a man from Colorado, United States. I like outdoor sports, travel, music, dining out, cooking, and making other people laugh. I am very direct, open and honest - and I am a bit of a romantic. I am new to "e-dating". My career in renewable energy and energy efficiency is very important to me, but friends, family and quality of life are my top priorities. Money is not a very important to me, but financially I do quite well. I have no kids but two wonderful Golden Retrievers. I live in Golden and I have a condo in Summit County. I lost my wife to cancer last year so now it is just me and my two four-legged children (Homer and Boris). She and I had a chance to discuss what she wanted for me, and she very emphatically told me she wanted me to find someone to be with, as I would have told her if the situation were reversed. She even told me she would send me someone who loves to ski (she was not a skier).
I'm looking for someone who is bright, fun, and independent. She doesn't need to share all of my hobbies, but she should be relaxing and fun to be with. It would be a plus if she enjoys outdoors sports (skiing, hiking, biking, SCUBA), dining, the arts and world travel. My ideal companion would enjoy physical activities, romantic evenings, exotic destinations, gathering with close friends, and sometimes just relaxing at home. A sense of adventure would also be great and a sense of humor is a must.
I am not looking for miracles on Match. I just have a very tight circle of friends who are all couples and I would like to meet someone outside the group. They are not motivated to introduce me to single women because they've always known me as part of a couple. Of course I am looking for a soul-mate, but when I was younger I learned that this happens when you don't pressure yourself and others and just try to have fun and be yourself. I think the best way to find someone is to not look too hard at first for that "perfect" fit.
I am a bit shy about making first moves (or sending first e-mails!), so please don't feel shy about contacting me. Even if you just have a good book suggestion or a favorite sushi spot, it would be nice to hear from you. Absolutely no obligation to meet if you contact me, and I'm not the obsessive type if we decide to meet.
On a final note, I have been told that my bright green eyes are one of my best features, but I couldn't find any photos of me without sunglasses! My photos are all recent and my hair, although graying, is the real thing. I listed myself as slender instead of athletic and toned but I am in good physical shape. I just think of athletic and toned as the guys you see on magazine covers (yes, men have body-image stereotypes to deal with too). I think if you polled my friends they would "promote" me to athletic and toned but I will stick with slender. It may motivate me to get out biking and hiking more this summer.
Date a soulmate from Colorado, United States. I am grateful to be where I am, in mind, body, and soul. In the past few years I have been fortunate enough to connect with many amazing people and experiences. I live in Colorado but because of my work as a designer of homes, I have spent much time in Hawaii and California. And in Haiti, where my partners and I joined together after the earthquake to form a charity to rebuild children's shelters. I spend about a month each year in this beautiful country which is a short flight from Miami.
Things that I really enjoy: Right out my back door I have a million acres of forest and mountains so I spend a lot of time in my "backyard" with family, friends, and my two black labs. In Colorado it's such a joy to stay connected to nature, to run the trails, ski the mountains, and bike the scenic roads. My match and I consider healthy living and fitness core values.
I read and write a lot, and I love photography. I love putting things together, figuring things out. I am a "designer" by nature. It's a creative thing and that's the way my brain works... and what I love to do. Along with my design responsibilities, I am happy to be at work writing a book on architectural design featuring the work of some very talented architects, designers, and photographers. I love food. A full moon. Running with my dogs at daybreak. Swimming with turtles and dolphins and whales. And that moment when you realize you've truly connected with another person. I love getting really cold, and then thawing out in front of a fire. I love setting goals, and meeting them. I love living outside of the box. I work hard to live in love and not fear. Okay, enough of that!
Who is my ONE? I am a very free spirited person who believes in living in the moment so I appreciate a partner who also is aware and present with me. I love strong women, and the challenge of true partnership. I am a giver to the person I love. I believe in the notion of woman as goddess. And in chivalry. Age is a state of mind and in "my" mind, I'm just getting started and looking for someone who feels the same. In simple terms, I seek a woman who understands her infinite potential and value, someone with high expectations who wishes both to BE challenged and TO challenge. Someone with a sense of adventure and also, someone who is giving having learned that the more we give to others, especially those who are less fortunate, the more we receive in return. I am a romantic in many ways. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I even kinda like chick flicks... as long as I can have butter on my popcorn. Really, though, I humbly seek someone who is present in mind and body and enjoys connecting on the deepest levels. We are both worth, and due, something extra-ordinary.
I look forward to US.
Meet single man from Colorado, United States. I would have to say that I'm a fortunate man. I have an awesome family, an education and successful in my work. I'm healthy, athletic and very competitive at times. I have a great sense of humor, adventurious, qUIRky, Romantic, and I like to be on the move (sports, friends, going out , travel, etc) but I have no problem with spending an evening in front of the tv, reading or cooking for someone special. I'm looking for someone whom has a sense of style - but not afraid to get her hands dirty. Has a great sense of humor, yet have a serious side, family orientated and enjoys life to it's fullest.
Date people from Colorado, United States. I love the outdoors and nature. I hiked 4 fourteeners this year among many other trails and have a goal to triple that next year. Update: completed my first one January 2. I am mostly in shape and can pass 20 year olds on the trail, but by no means am I an athlete or have six pack abs. I like to work out and think it is vital not just physically, but mentally and spiritually. However, I am not into it being a lifestyle and spending vast amounts of time at the gym. To me life is about balance and I have other things to do and enjoy.
I like adventure, traveling, hiking, the outdoors,volunteering, learning new things, theater, almost all types of music, honest real conversation, just as much as I like to lounge around and watch movies or quietly enjoy one another's company. I will try almost anything once, short of jumping off a cliff.
I am a glass jewelry artist. I get cut, I get burned, but I love it. I am blessed by being able to make a living at something I love to do. It doesn't seem like work even though there are days when I work from 7am to midnight, with breaks of course, plus I might take the next day or three to do whatever I want. I love the flexibility of working for myself. To make a full time living, which I do, is considered to be successful as an artist.
I am a spiritual person and beliebe in constant growth in life. I strive to be grateful for what I have instead of being unhappy with what I don't have. I am not religious but don't have any problem at all with someone that is as long as you don't have a hidden adgenda to conform me. I believe that there are many paths to God or a Higher power.
I am looking for someone to have a committed relationship with that is also a best friend. I would like someone that is fun, sense of humor, intelligent, loving, giving, independent, kind, motivated and you will get the same in return. It can be difficult to explain exactly what I am looking for. I find that often times the answer in life is not one way or another, it lies somewhere in the middle. A few examples: I want someone who is fun but not a constant party person, is loving but not smothering, is independent but wants to be in a truely giving relationship, is intelligent but not condescending or full of themself, most of all I want someone to love me for me not who they want me to be. I am not perfect nor do I expect anyone else to be.
I embrace differences, after all I have no interest in dating myself. All I know for sure is that I will know if it is right when I see it. I am much more into emailing and meeting in person than I am trying to pick apart profiles to find out what someone is like. So, if you think you are interested, don't have "contempt prior to investigation" take a chance and meet the real me (not that any of this is fake). I have no problem with a "no thank you", sure it can be disappointing sometimes, but I just keep in mind that there will be an awesome match out there somewhere and there is a necessary path to get to it.
Meet someone special from Colorado, United States. Traveling...
I am enjoying life. My theory, make it fun or make it count regardless of what develops. Quality of life out ways quantity or material goods. I have awesome friends and I am always open to meeting quality people. Hoping to connect with a life partner but I am not in a rush. I believe that person will enter my life when the time is right. I am open to and I am looking for a happy person first and foremost. Someone open to traveling down some new roads. Someone open to seeing things from different perspectives. A decision maker would be good (as long as you can allow for others to be as well). Prefer a woman that is on a path she enjoys. You are not shy, you are independent, you don’t have an overwhelming urge to constantly analyze. I like intellect and crave it but not looking for high brow. I would love it if I found the “one” but realistically would be happy to have a friend to pal around with. Instant chemistry not required. I know many woman count on that instant chemistry to help them make their decisions. It's a mistake, at least in my view. If you are open minded I am happy to discuss it, if not... you shouldn't be contacting me. If you look for and enjoy interesting people, then by all means contact me. ;-) Want to golf? Want to go to a winery or a social event? Want to go bowling? Want to drive to the caves or to a state park to hike or canoe or kayak … How about a picnic boo boo?
ME…. I have financial goals and life goals too. Money is not my main measuring stick and not the source of my happiness. My plan is to continue working toward the top of my field, look for adventures, experience life the best way I can, enjoy relationships w/ family and friends, and live in accordance w/ my spiritual beliefs. I enjoy conversation, socializing, a variety of activities. I work a lot and the hours are not 9 to 5. I travel for work too and can be gone for weeks. That said, if I were to find the right person I am not apposed to limiting or even ending the work travel.
Politics... I am not a liberal and I am not a conservative or should I say I am both depending on what we are talking about. Most recently I have found myself in agreement with much of the Libertarian platform.
I was raised a catholic but I’m not practicing. I am more of a spiritualist and tend to stay away from organized religions.
Sex: I do not see sex or sex talk as a taboo. I harbor the belief that talking about it is a good thing, even when getting to know someone or especially when getting to know each other.
What are the fundamentals of the relationship I hope to be part of with my life partner if we are united: chemistry and sexual chemistry, a healthy passion, respect, the desire to care for and honor ea. other. The ability to tell the truth even when it hurts, trusting and believing in ea. other. Controlling our respective jealousies and taking responsibility. The ability to communicate issues as well as keeping ea. other informed and up-to-date w/ ea. others goings-on yet allowing ea. other our different ways of communicating. Keeping the instinct to judge in check by withholding judgment until all the facts are known. Ok so it’s a wish list… If we have all this I’m sure we will be deeply and madly in love ;-) If we have some of this we could have an incredible friendship and probably more.
Date men and women from United States. Today's my last day; If I don't respond maybe we'll bump into each other somewhere else, like church....Hi and thanks for taking a look. Describing myself seems about as pointless as sharing my family’s lasagna recipe. Under the theory the nut doesn’t fall far from the tree, why don’t I tell you about my kids?
My oldest has graduated with a marketing degree and is working at one of the local resorts. She’s not quite paying attention but is also one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet. She keeps everyone laughing. My 2nd oldest was co-valedictorian in high school, just graduated college and was commissioned as a Navy Officer. She and her dad would be better people if they were less sure their way were best. She’s been working out and taking martial arts courses and is ripped right now.
My middle daughter is making her own way: going to jr. college, smoking things she shouldn't, moved out of her moms, moved back in. I teach a class at my church on wisdom and consult with clients about the pattern of life that predicts the stock market. My clients are some of the richest and brightest around but I’m obviously completely unqualified to add insight to my daughter's life. I didn’t care for the guy she was dating so instead of preaching I gave her a car. She relied on him for a ride to school and work; with her own transportation she saw him in a new light.
By age 10 my son understood irony better than most adults. At 17 he has better common sense than most adults too – no idea where that came from! He’s one of the better athletes on any field. He’s freakishly bright and has a strong artistic streak. We sent him to a military school one year; not for behavioral issues, but to give the kids some intellectual challenge. He’s back in state and bored stiff with school.
All my kids are some of the best snowboarders and skiers on any mountain; they’re all water-babies to some extent and water ski and sail, but my youngest is the one with the most gumption. She plays volley ball, softball and basketball offended the other team even thought they had a chance against her. She and I were riding/skiing in the trees last year and came to a double diamond face. I dropped in, made my turn and stopped to see if she could negotiate it. She jumped off the edge, avoided the tree at the bottom like a pro, flew by me yelling “come on Dad”….that was a proud day.
By now you’re probably wondering a couple things, and I KNOW! It’s a mystery I’m still single! :) That, and my ex-wife and I made all 5 together while married.
I’m not sure who I’m looking for but kindness draws me in and banter makes me want to stay; beauty and character distracted me in the first place.
I’ve been called an onion - just like you I have many layers beyond what you may have inferred here.I’ve done some writing and people who’ve enjoyed it commented I see the world from a different perspective and that keeps things interesting. Everyone agrees I have a sharp wit and am a decent cook. Thanks for considering blending your life with mine; good luck on your search for love if I’m not the right fit for you.
Meet a man from United States. OK, Kind and generous, honest and sincere, funny and intelligent, loving and thoughtful are a few ways I've been described. I would love to meet an honest, sincere, and caring woman. I don't date women I work with, I don't do the bar scene, and I most definitely don't approach women in public (I think that is disrespectful). Anyway, I enjoy most of the typical 'I likes' you see in these ads, although I am not the typical man. Remember the "I Believe" speech from the movie Bull Durham? This is my version: I believe a woman should never have to open a door when she is with a man. I believe in long passionate kisses on the lips, soft tiny kisses on the face, and kissing in public is ok as long as it's tasteful. I believe in pay at the pump gas stations, two ply tp, and big yummy bath towels. I believe you are only as old as you feel. I believe every woman should own at least 31 pair of shoes, elegant evening dresses, and one good man. I believe in rotating tires every 5000 miles, oil changes every 3,and that broken windshields ARE replaceable. I believe in making the bed before you get dressed. I believe holding hands is a sensual act of admiration. I believe Natalie is more inspirational than Sarah, Nuno is better than Eddie, Martina is much more powerful than Shania and Faith combined, and Antonin is a greater talent than Ludwig. I believe blues music is supposed to make you feel good. Smokers stink, they pollute, and die young looking very old. I believe in daily exercise, walking when you can, and that you don't have to have the closest parking space. I believe there IS such a thing as love at first sight. There is also love at second and third sight. I believe the DH is ridiculous, NBA is boring for 46 minutes, and football should only be played on real grass AND outside. I believe a woman should be allowed to take as much time as she wants. My Match?: Sweet, sincere, honest, loving, romantic, aromatic, loves to smile, loves unconditionally, high morals...

Meet single man from United States. Let's go for a ride!
2-up on my motorcycle or you can ride your own.
Bicycles are good too!!
We could ride to Vail, Vegas, Hwy 1 or Sturgis.
We could bicycle up Lookout Mountain or Mt. Evans,(ouch!) but I would need months to attempt that again.
We could ride just for pancakes; conversation; overnight to Telluride or just for good coffee.
My bike has a cigar lighter, that gets used,(occasionally on the weekends) heated seats,(gets used too).
I'm not much of a fan of this format, nor am I into Facebook, but likley am worth a look if you too enjoy 2 wheeled fun; like the outdoors, fitness and MANY other activities. I can cook a little and enjoy cooking with others. I'd prefer a log cabin on New Years Eve over a large crowded gathering, but enjoy good company with family & freinds.
I am many things,(most of them good) and know myself well. Loyal, faithful, very honest, pretty laid back & enjoys life. I prefer flannel; hoodies; shorts/T's on the weekends but also enjoy some of the finer things in life PRN.
Health care worker with a great job that allows me to work from home, as well as daily travel.
Love my daughter and she is out on her own now, 5 minutes away. Really enjoy her company.
Can easily laugh at myself. Will laugh at you too.
Not into drama, drugs, mean judgemental or jealous people. If you're the type to place judgement on something you have never tried I may challenge you on that. I have also attended the Landmark Forum many years ago, for whatever that is worth, so I get it.
Rather than I tell you how to "be",or all my likes/dislikes, I'd suggest you just be yourself, and we'll see how it works out. I'm pretty flexible and open minded
Date people from United States. I'm a guy who has a sense of humor, loves music and values family and friends. I'm at home at social gatherings or hanging out in a quiet relaxed atmosphere. I enjoy playing the guitar, singing, writing and jamming with others. I also have fun outdoors and traveling. And let's not forget - good food! People who know me would say I am loyal and uphold my commitments. I'm looking for someone who can share laughs and enjoy interesting conversation (and perhaps an occasional cigar). They are comfortable with themselves and are open to trying new things.
Meet someone special from United States. I've been self employed most of my life, this allowed me to raise three children myself. We went from a real small house to a little bigger house to the dream house, fireplace, big garage, indoor pool and hot tub and a huge kitchen. Before I knew it the kids were grown and gone, now I'm a proud grandpa.
The only kids still at home have four legs.
3 German Shepherds, 2 horses, I love "all" animals, however I'm allergic to "some" cats :-( (sorry)
