Who is Dave Spielman anyway?

What I like to do: I love to walk barefoot on the beach, hand-in-hand with my one special lady (the one I'm looking for) and watch the sun set (hope that’s not too corny). I enjoy exploring the back roads looking for those out of the way, hole-in-the-wall places that nobody ever goes to. I like the unhurried, civilized, slow pace of a train trip to just about anywhere. I love to go star gazing in the mountains or deserts on moonless nights. I live to see the high rocky crags of Yosemite and to wonder in the footsteps of John Muir. I enjoy just being home on a cold winters night, wrapped in the warm embrace of my lady love and listening to the raptures of Ravel or Debussy. For exercise, I like to go for long walks along the ocean and for variety, I strap on a pair of Rollerblades and hit the streets. To stay in shape I play racquetball. To replenish all of those calories, I love to cook and experiment with different cuisines. To nourish the creative appetites of my soul, I continue on with my life long love affair with the camera. To broaden my horizons, I would like to learn how to snow ski, or become a better sailor, or even learn how to sky dive (just kidding ladies). I love to explore new places, learn new things, meet new people and experience what the world has to offer.

Who I am: I think for most of my life, I’ve been looking for love, romance and a commitment in all of the wrong places (maybe this sounds familiar, maybe not). In essence, I’m a gentle spirit; an affectionate, sensitive and compassionate man who is fiercely loyal to his friends and those whom he loves. I’m passionate and a hopeless romantic and I never take any person, or any relationship for granted. I’m intelligent, creative, inventive and on occasion scholarly (I even sit up nights dreaming up new ways of pleasing my special mate). I’m not at all self-centered or egocentric. I am, an excellent judge of character and human nature, though the female side of the equation sometimes eludes me. I’m a very good listener and often see the true essence of a situation when others can’t. I’m somewhat shy (the more gorgeous she is, the more shy I am) and I’m not always such an easy person to get to know, though those who have made the effort usually come away with a life long friend. I am reliable and responsible and I don’t undertake anything piecemeal or halfheartedly. I’m generous and not afraid of investing time and emotional energy in a relationship.

What I’m Looking for: She is playful, friendly, outgoing and gregarious by nature. She is very affectionate, and is not afraid of showing it. She has a well developed sense of humor. She is someone who likes to laugh, even if it is at herself. She doesn’t take things to seriously, including herself. She is humble in regards to her own beauty and the other gifts that she may have and she is not self-absorbed or self-centered. She is passionate about those things in her life that she cares about. She is romantic and values love and caring relationships above all other things. She values people, and her relationships with them above material or professional concerns. She is caring and compassionate for those less fortunate then she. Her nature is one of an optimist and she looks first for the positive side of people and events. She has a strongly developed sense of right and wrong, not in a righteous, moralistic or religious vain, but she is one who is not afraid to stand up for herself, or for what she believes in. She has an adventurous spirit and loves her life and the one special man she shares it with.
