Date men and women from United States / Colorado, 36 year old - page 7

Date people from Colorado, United States. "You don't choose a life, you live one."
"The greatest journeys answer the questions, in the beginning, you never thought to ask."
I recently heard these quotes in two fantastic movies, so maybe originality is lacking here, but they might best sum up my approach to life. I love living and learning. I try to avoid routine whenever possible as I feel it decays your brain and your heart.
I've come to realize that the strongest people in this world are never afraid to be themselves. I value people in my life who don't mind tripping over their own feet, letting others get the "last laugh", and doing the right thing whether someone is watching or not. We're adults now, so trying to do things to be "cool" is like wearing a bright shiny badge of insecurity.
I'm no goody goody, nor do I think I could be with one. We've come to make rules for ourselves based on what others think. I believe it all boils down to whether or not your actions hurt other people. Throwing back a shot of tequila or a few beers shouldn't be frowned upon unless when doing so, you disrespect your friends or are generally inconsiderate to strangers.
I feel I'm taking the philosophical route here... Switching gears, I love to have fun and to be challenged. I enjoy so many different sports and activities that it's hard to decide what I like best. Mountain biking, wake boarding, skiing, boarding, climbing, basketball, football are all things I enjoy. I'm above average at most, but am always humbled by the scores of people who excel at these sports.
I find hiking and camping to be incredibly cathartic. Grabbing my dog and gear and heading out are always rewarding, though I often agree that "happiness is only real when shared."
When it comes to true meaningful love, you feel it or you don't, and you should never have to apologize for either. If you tell someone the truth about how you feel and they can't accept it, that's their problem. If you can't tell someone the truth in the first place, then that's your problem. I think you can love so many people in this world, but you'll only experience a love that shakes you to your core a few times at most. This is the feeling that I believe in, and the only one I'll accept for the long haul.
I suppose I could keep going on about my view of the world, etc, but I think some things are best discussed in person.
Just know, I love my family and friends, my dog, and my life!

Meet a man from Colorado, United States. Who am I? I’m George Clooney’s wingman, I wish!
I would describe myself as stable in my career, and in life. Enjoy making people bust a gut, and I have a little “wild child” left in the tank. I'm intelligent and can carry on meaningful conversations. I’m down to earth, simple, take pride in being Daddy to a wonderful 7 year old little girl. I wear a smile 24 7. Being a Colorado native, I enjoy everything Colorado has to offer. I love the four seasons, and enjoy seasonal activities. From swimming with my daughter at the reservoir in the summer, to taking a drive in the fall to see the Aspens changing color. If it's outside, I'm game! BBQing with family and friends, picnics, kayaking, go-carts, going dancing, hunting, hiking/backpacking, fishing, cooking, camping in a tent, travelling, snowboarding, going on day trips, sitting at a roulette table, Sunday dinners with family.
Success in life to me is being a great partner, father, friend, brother, son, etc. It’s the quality of life you live, and the relationships you build. “It’s funny how it’s the little things in life that mean the most. Not where you live, what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes. There’s no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I’ve come to know.” I live a simple life, not centered on material things or money.
When I’m with someone special I like being spontaneous, adventurous, romantic, surprising them with little gestures, sensual, playful, and basically having that type of fun you see two people with a connection having. I’m looking for someone to laugh with, hang out with, be spontaneous with, and have fun with! Someone who has similar qualities and desires. Having some similar interests is a must.

Date single man from Colorado, United States. I am who i am....looking for someone that can accept me for that. I enjoy the outdoors. On a nice day one can find me at the lake fishing, on the golf course playing some disc golf, or anything else that might come to mind. I like my relax time as well. I either kick back and watch a movie or two, or i turn on the PS3 and drift off into the gaming world. I have 2 wonderful kids, 1 that lives with me and the other with his mom in Oregon. Not very good at describing myself so if you want to know something don't hesitate to ask. I haven't been in the dating world for many years now and wouldn't know where to start. I am a very quiet person but can let loose now and again. Guess one could say my confidence isn't that high. I'm into tattoos and piercings, so you can't mind those. I would just like to meet someone that i can be me with, for a change. I just moved back to Colorado Springs from Germany. I was born and raised there.
Sorry if I don't respond to emails...not a premium paid member. Wish there was a way to communicate otherwise!!!!!

Meet a soulmate from Colorado, United States. I've been in Denver for 8 years now and while it's been good to me, the mountains are where I want to be. Coming from the Chicagoland area originally, I grew up skiing in the Midwest and vacationing in Colorado and got tired of only skiing 7 days a year, so I've kept moving west. Hopefully headed to Frisco next!
I need the outdoors in my life, whether it's skiing, fishing, hunting, hiking, camping, etc. mostly because I'm on a computer most of the day doing graphic design. Which means my dog appreciates getting out as well.
I would love to meet someone who likes fresh air, getting a little sweaty and maybe sorta dirty too. I do also love good food and drink - both out on the town and at home. It's so much more fun to have someone to share it all with!

Date men and women from Colorado, United States. So here I am looking to meet some fun people and see where things go. People who know me have described me as nonconforming because I'm not married with children yet. I think of myself as a modern free spirit who likes to take the path less traveled. I'm not against getting married and having kids, I’m just waiting until I find the right person to come into my life. I view life as a journey with adventure everywhere, and you need to have an open mind if you are going to contact me.
I'm sociable and I love to meet new people just to have interesting conversations. I'm very spur of the moment and do not need set plans. If an opportunity was given to me on a Friday to leave for the weekend I wouldn't hesitate. That’s the main reason I don’t have pets. I like working outside in the yard and enjoy the rewards from that labor. I love nature and I'm so glad I live here for obvious reasons. A good storm is only part of the things that get my blood flowing. The other part is having someone next to me that's more than just a pretty face.
So what do I want in a woman? Spunk and a goof is a plus! I’m drawn to someone her friends and family refer to as a “sweet heart.”
If in reading this, you find that you might be able to relate to me or have some of my same interests, contact me so we can get together for a drink or take a walk and see what happens...

Meet someone special from Colorado, United States. I'm a very positive, outgoing and encouraging guy. I'm hoping to find someone that gets me and my version of life. I don't know exactly what I'm looking for, but will know when it's worth working for. I am not the type of person to hold onto something that is obviously not for me.

Date people from United States. i am an east coaster that needs to get out of colorado. i need the water near me again. i like fireworks, chainsaws, pretty much anything you could potentially hurt yourself with. my passion is sailing. i like being prepared and self-sufficient. i work in live music production, but really just want to explore the world before i am no longer spry and fit. i got the time, i got the dough, but i just get soooooo bored making memories alone. so where are you? my other passion is hiking the different routes of a 1,000 year old pilgrimage trail that runs across spain and france.
i am looking for a best friend and partner for life to share all the magical, wondrous moments, places, and people the world has to offer. like having a picnic in a vineyard in france with some fresh bread, some good sausage and cheese, and then taking a nap in the shade before rambling on. i am water oriented and doesn't get seasick. my dream is to sail the mediterranean from Gibraltar to israel. and to have a fifteen acre farm and be self sufficient. so if you have a problem with getting dirty, or think that you ever have to ask me if you smell bad, no need to respond. my wife will always look and smell good to me. Whether covered in mud or just back from a long, hot run. i am not looking for flashy, just real, honest, and passionate, with a good sense of humor. where are you?

Meet a man from United States. I have recently moved to Denver and have lived in Colorado for 3 years and like it beautiful nature. I am looking for someone who like outdoor activities like camping, hiking, and mountain biking, going gim, watching movies, all the things Denver has to offer.

Date single man from United States. I am a honest guy and want the same from others. I am a outgoing guy that loves the outdoors. I am spontaneous. I am looking for someone that can keep up with me or I need to keep up with them. I have just started p90x and enjoying it. I try to cook everything from scratch, you will not find canned foods in my kitchen and very little box food if you consider taco shells and cliff bars box food. I have been in the springs since the beginning of the year. I am originally from MN. I also have lived in NV, VA, FL, WA, CA, NM. I have been to other countries
You know you’re a city slicker if you take a taxi or bus 3 blocks.
You know you’re a city slicker if camping in your backyard is considered camping in the great outdoors.
You know you’re a city slicker if wildlife is what you seen in a zoo.
You know you’re a city slicker if the most vicious wild animal you came in contact with is the squirrel raiding your trash can.
You know you’re a city slicker if the most romantic thing you can think of is to over look city lights at night.
You know you’re a city slicker if hiking in the great outdoors is when you are walking thru grass taller than your ankles
You know you’re a city slicker if you don’t know the difference between a crescent wrench and a pipe wrench
Well if that got you laughing then I might be the one your looking for.
I do like the wink thing because if you wink back then it makes sense to take time to email you when we both are probably supper busy with life.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I have a relatively simple but happy life that’s made up of being active and around good friends. Work fits in there too somewhere. I moved to CO in 2000 from the Midwest after what I refer to as my Goldilocks syndrome. After graduating from Marquette U (which you likely only know because of Dwayne Wade), I moved to Chicago. Too big. Then I moved back to Milwaukee. Too small and been there, done that. Then I moved to Denver without knowing anyone and I’ve been here ever since. I’ve almost died rock climbing so I quit that sport, raced triathlons for five years and got burned out after training for an Ironman. Now I ride my bikes a lot and race cyclocross in the Fall (also known as the best time of year). Along the way I also try to get up to the mountains, fly fish, golf and entertain my two dogs, Whiskey (a Chesapeake Bay Retriever) and Tacoma (an English Shepherd). I tend to be pretty laid back but am also confident and combine those two with a good bit of sarcasm. I enjoy traveling, whether it’s in the US or abroad and try to get out of the country once a year. I have plenty of places I want to go, but not necessarily for the food since I'm pretty certain the best food anywhere is taco pizza from Happy Joe's.
Let’s just assume everyone is looking for all the same general qualities in another person, like caring, funny, supportive, honest, etc. Beyond that, I’m looking for someone who is also confident and doesn’t let their individuality get lost in a relationship.
I'm sure there's plenty I haven't covered but what do you say we go over the rest in person.

Date men and women from United States. Let's see, about me. In a nutshell, I'm a laid back go with the flow guy. I'd like to think I'm intelligent, easy going and articulate. I am passionate about what I do and taking care of myself. When I put my mind to something, I am pretty relentless about getting it done. I like to get out and do things that challenge me. At this point in my life, I am all about getting out of my comfort zone. The further something puts me out, the better. I do tend to have a mouth that get's me in to trouble. I do speak my mind...often. However, I try to use my wit instead of just coming off like a crass jerk and it works...most of the time. Just be prepared for sarcasm, lots of sarcasm.
I'd guess I'd have to put myself in the boat of looking for someone that I click with and what happens, happens. I just can't honestly say "I'm ready to get serious! Right now!" Rushing to failure just isn't something I'm fond of doing.
I am looking for someone that is laid back, intelligent, takes care of them self, doesn't take themselves too seriously and likes to try new things. I'll be up front; I like brains on a woman. Smart is what gets and keeps my attention. Because honestly, you could be the most beautiful person in the world but if I can't hold a conversation with you for more than two seconds; we're not going to last long. Having said that, it doesn't mean I don't have physical standards. But having smarts is pretty paramount in my book.
I do have one question for you some of you ladies out there if you've made it this far: Why do you post pictures of your pets?
I don't do winks, It just doesn't make sense to me. If you want to talk to me, talk to me. I'll do the same.

Meet someone special from United States. Hey, does anyone else feel like the Daily 5 "Yes, No, Maybe" thing is a bit like how we approached dating in 3rd grade?
So that you can figure out what button to click, here's a bit about me:
I'm an athletic, intelligent guy that loves to enjoy the world around me. Life is full of so many wonderful things to do, and I'm passionate about lots of them. Along the way, I try to continuously better myself in a balanced progression of mind, body, and spirit.
I find no greater joy than a conversation with one of those soul-mates my path crosses in life. The kind of person with whom conversation just naturally flows into places that neither person might have happened upon by themselves, but where both individuals take away a profound new idea or understanding of life and the wonderful world around them.
I currently sense that three things are needed to create the kind of amazing relationship I'd eventually like to have:
1) A soul-mate connection (like in the previous paragraph)
2) The ability to effectively and enjoyably manage change together
3) Perceiving adversity not as a problem, but as an opportunity for adventure.
From past experience, I think the rest can be worked out.
Finally, I'd say that confident, assertive women who take initiative when they feel led to are irresistibly sexy. ;)
So, if you get the sense that I might be what you're looking for and you might be what I'm looking for... Then, uh, try clicking the "Yes" button. Or even better yet, send an email.
