Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Highlands Ranch, 53 year old

Date people from United States. I'm seeking my last first date. I've met some amazing women through matching sights, but not the one with whom I've found chemistry. Most of us "know" within the first minutes of meeting if there's potential.
I'm 53 years old, have an amazing 13 year old daughter (who still loves to be around me!), I'm well educated, in great health, can make you laugh, spiritually mature (love the Lord) and financially responsible (mortgage is my only debt). I am very comfortable being emotionally intimate and when you meet me I'll spend a lot of time asking you questions, getting to know you. I love my work as an educator/administrator at a Christian K-12 school. I keep a clean home but it lacks a woman's touch. I'm a good communicator, passionate, romantic and I'm also a handyman! I was married for 10 years before cancer took my wife's life 10 years ago. But every one of us has been wounded in some way, and yet here we are, putting ourselves back out there. I have found that God reveals Himself the most in our pain.
I'm seeking a woman who is "young at heart", takes care of herself physically and not think it shallow that I'd like to see a photo of her. She loves children and is open to the thought of adding my daughter to her clan, and most important of all, she loves God. She enjoys beach vacations, being in or near water and might even know (or want to learn) how to scuba dive (bonus). I'm looking for someone who also enjoys being home, having people over for a meal, volunteering, short-term missions adventures and together making our house a home. She enjoys movies, and is great with people and kids. Do you like to travel? Are you comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt as well as dressing up for a night out?
I'm also seeking a woman with whom I can be on the same page spiritually. I don't mean just going to church, but seeking God together and wanting to enjoy Him together.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Online dating has definitely proven to have it's challenges, and is significantly different from the way we previously met a potential partner, but as the saying goes; "Patience is indeed a virtue!" So, I hope you will take the time to read ALL of my profile.
I'm committed to making a sincere & honest effort in finding the ONE woman who will desire a lasting long-term relationship, filled with hope & happiness. NO games, just integrity.
I know there are some women who may see "never married" & have some reservations due to my age. PLEASE, feel free to ask me about this. I will openly discuss it. I have nothing to hide.
It takes considerable time and effort to truly discover what a person has to offer.
But, I've found it has not been an easy goal to achieve, at least not yet. Regrettably, not all the members of Match (men & women alike) are actually seeking their "match" (if you know what I mean), so it's been somewhat of a "slippery slope" to travel.
Like so many other members, I too have a variety of interests, activities, favorites, etc. but sometimes feel everyone LISTS the ones they think their "match" will want to hear. They tend to be very similar after reading so many profiles.
I'm hoping my efforts will be the exception. So, it's all about being honest, open, & sometimes even blunt. But, I think THAT is what will make my special woman find me even more appealing, and set the tone for very mutually respectful relationship.
I love the great outdoors, & have been blessed with the great fortune of good health & skills to make the best of my time when I'm up in the high country mountains, at ANY beach (fresh or salt water), enjoying the lakes, rivers, ocean.....well, you see where this is going.
But, I have a huge amount of respect for nature & our fragile environment, so I DON'T hunt or fish, & I make every effort to leave the places I visit & enjoy, exactly the way I found them.....beautiful & unspoiled!
I love photography, & consider myself an accomplished "amateur" photographer, so when you view my photos keep in mind it's just one of my many ways to express myself, & hopefully shed some insight into who I am. I've rotated photos in & out occasionally, so don't be surprised if they change.
I've spent the past thirty-five years in the big cities, but grew up in a small town rural setting, so I can "relate" to both lifestyles. As a matter-of-fact, I'm starting to rediscover the joys & benefits of a less hectic & stressful lifestyle by spending more of my "down time" in some very interesting & hospitable small towns where it's just sooo easy to "decompress".
For now, I still enjoy the benefits of "big city" life too much to lose out on the sports, theater, opera, concerts, symphony, endless fine dining &other forms of entertainment.....like dancing!
So, it's Denver for now....but? Relocating is ALWAYS an option for me. Meeting the "right" woman can change just about anything, especially how you feel about what's truly important....having a fantastic partner, best friend, & companion.
I realize we ALL have some "baggage" & "drama" to some degree in our life, but I hope to meet a woman who isn't controlled or manipulated by it.
PLEASE, if you aren't ready to let go of the unpleasant aspects of your past, pass me over. It's all but impossible to get over "walls" that are not only far too tall, but shouldn't be there at all IF your eventual goal is to be successful at finding a good & decent man. The past is just that.....the past.
Everyone deserves a fair chance to prove their worth.
I'd like to have the opportunity to prove mine to YOU!
Thanks for reading ALL of my profile.

Date single man from United States. Down to earth, honest, caring, one of a kind guy. Looking for an attractive, HONEST, LOYAL, sweet, caring, loving woman who touches my heart in a special way, hope I'm not asking to much!!! I don't like head games and don't play them. I can handle anything that life gives me. I can laugh even when everything goes wrong. Life is simple, you fix what you can and live the rest. I'm good at fixing things so I guess I don't get upset about much. I sound like a pet, good tempered cute and lovable" LOL. I work hard at everything I do, and I never give up. I'm a sucker for a good back rub, and always return the favor.
Family values are very important to me. I have a wonderful daughter who just recently got married to a Marine. She and I have a very close relationship and my daughter is one of my best friends. I would like to find someone with very strong family values that are compatible with mine.
I love going out to the lake in my boat and just relaxing, watching the sunset, and enjoying great company. Catch me in the summer and we will be off the lake as soon as work time is over. I love going to new places and trying new things.
I'm not a clean freek, but I'm not a mess. I like to keep things in somewhat organized. Smart, funny and in good shape.
I would like to meet a special lady to be by my side, so I can wine and dine her, do nice things for her, spend quality time with her. I live in Highlands Ranch and I work in the construction business and live a good life. I would love to come home to that special women. If this sounds like you let me be that special man in your life.
Sometimes I like to come home hit the shower then the town, or just veg at home. Love to cook, nothing better then a bottle of wine and a great lady in the kitchen with me, fun times.
What i am looking for is a lady that looks good in jeans and that short black dress, someone that would like to be loved and has no problems showing it. Someone that can be that soul mate that I have heard so much about. I am the most honest person there is. Love life the best you can. someone that can be happy shopping at Home Depot, or Victoria Secret.

Meet a man from United States. Handsome, successful single male seeks female with a giving heart and prepared for life-long love. My favorite activities are travel, photography, basketball, gardening, laughing, cooking, playing with children and pets, and lots of cuddling by the fire.

Date someone special from United States. This is going to be FUN! :-)
What if you could find a guy who is fit, adventurous, playful, spontaneous, open to trying new things, young at heart, social and outgoing?
Can you imagine finding a guy who is attractive, ambitious, caring, chivalrous, capable of intimate conversations, compassionate, decisive, giving, genuine, intelligent, kind, loving, passionate, patient, responsible, down to earth, not afraid of feelings, yet strong and romantic?
What would it be like to find a guy who values honesty, integrity and trust is much as you do, and always has a positive outlook on life?
These qualities all come naturally to me.
As a kid I grew up in the South spending my time training and riding horses, so whenever there is an opportunity, I LOVE going to equestrian events (e.g., Horse Jumping, National Western Stock Show, Westernaires), horse-back riding as well as festivals - such as People's Fair, PrideFest, Highlands/Irish/Scottish festivals... because these events offer a good reason for me to wear my Utilikilt! :-)
I LOVE going to comedy clubs and rock concerts (“Lacuna Coil” is one of my favorites to see perform). I enjoy staying up on current music. Some of my favorite bands include: Nickelback, Disturbed, Theory of a Deadman, Saving Abel, Mudvayne, Linkin Park, and even some old school AC/DC, Megadeth, Metallica and Van Halen. During my free time I also enjoy coaching and inspiring others to do great things... whether on an individual level or through volunteering as an activist for various causes (typically focused on expanding "choices" and more personal liberties).
Do you LOVE curling up on the couch watching DVDs, whether romantic comedies, drama, SciFi or Horror (with the lights out)? Because I'm very much a movie aficionado, I'll watch almost any movie. Some of my favorites include: Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Starship Troopers, The Proposal (Ryan Reynolds is hilarious), Forest Gump (Tom Hanks is my favorite actor), Bicentennial Man (Robin Williams best movie ever), Kick-Ass, most zombie movies, and of course Drew Barrymore movies (especially with Adam Sandler).
Naturally, our time is limited so we must be very selective about who we spend our time with. Also, it’s important that we share common interests and values. Convincing yourself to contact me is an important step - because it could lead to the most significant romantic relationship of your life.
Are you an affectionate, attractive, petite, sexy woman who embraces her femininity, with an edgy flair for fashion? Are you quirky and young at heart (in touch with your "inner child")? Do you know when not to take life too seriously, and have a twisted sense of humor? Since you're already here... seeking that “special” someone... send me an E-mail.

Meet men and women from United States. Well here goes nothing......... I am 5'10 well that's what my drivers licence says anyway.. I have brown hair with a little grey in it...I'm a relaxed and confident person who truly enjoys meeting people and finding out what makes them unique. Everybody has a story to tell, and I'd like to hear yours. I love animals, good friends, and the chances to make lifelong memories from any type of situation. I really appreciate the humor in every moments, and I don't think I take much of anything too seriously; I'd just like a chance to meet someone who is eternally youthful in attitude and happy to make new friends. It's 2009 and I am ready to make a meaningful connection based on honesty, respect and a true commitment. Hope to hear from you...
My perfect match would be a woman that makes my heart drop whenever she walks into a room. One who seeks to be complete as well. When you love someone, the whole world just feels as right as rain. My perfect match would know what we could do while its raining as well! LOL! Anyway, I wish you luck and hope that your mate finds you with full sails as well. Take care!
