Date men and women from United States / Alaska / Anchorage, 48 year old - page 6

Date someone special from Alaska, United States. I'm extremely extroverted in almost all venues, and love being around new people and getting to know them. I've recently gone from being a full-time single parent to empty-nester and am now ready to pursue the next phase of my life. I enjoy evenings out and cultural events, but I'm also just as happy to enjoy couch time with a pizza and a good movie. Public service and volunteer work are important to me. I love children and I enjoy the energy that they provide. Being comfortable with who you are is paramount. It is unrealistic to expect mid-lifer's to not have a bit of baggage here and there, but my hope is that if you have taken the step to begin searching for that special someone, you are in a position to also be a good friend. Having said that, I also know that ex-spouses exist, as do children, angry teens and dysfunctional in-laws, and it can be a wonderful thing to share the good and bad that those circumstances may create. The importance is how you deal with them and how you allow them to impact your life. My hope is find someone who exemplifies honesty, intelligence, a witty sense of humor (I love to banter in a friendly way) and who has a well-fitting shoulder to lay on while watching a good movie.

Meet people from Alaska, United States. Relatively new to Anchorage but not to Alaska. I have a wide range of interests and am looking for somebody to share them with and who can introduce me to new ones. I'm content being on my own, but it would be nice to expand my social life. If something develops, great.... I like to spend a lot of time outdoors, whether it's taking the dogs for a leisurely walk, hunting or fishing, going on a more rigorous trek, or just lounging in the yard with a book. Learning to skate and play hockey is a new obsession; I'm awful at it, but having a blast. I love to share good conversation, food, and wine with friends, but equally comfortable spending a night at home with a good book or movie.

Date a soulmate from Alaska, United States. I laugh easily, so, if you have jokes or good sense of humor, I'm your audience. :D My friends would describe me as loyal, dependable, honest, and responsible, just to name a few. My ideal match would be a man who is easy going, no baggage or drama with previous relationships, can listen with empathy, compassion, and understanding that no two people are alike. To be able to appreciate differences in people. One who can 'let go' and be with me, and who can forgive others without holding a grudge. Someone who can make me laugh, smart, good looks, and level headed about life. Life can be like a 1,000 piece puzzle sometimes. Having all the pieces of the puzzle helps. :p I'm going to steal a quote that I read somewhere....."Love is like a friendship on fire". With that said, first things first, creating friendships and keeping things simple. :)
I'm passionate about health, fitness, and taking the best care of the body. I believe if you don't have your health in good working order, all the money in the world can't fix it. I love enjoying the fresh air and taking walks. I'm grateful for the choices that I've made in my life so far that have brought me the friends and family that are closest to me. I'm grateful for my health and for once owning a dog years ago. His name was Elvis. He was absolutely precious.

Meet a woman from Alaska, United States. Are you passionate about the beauty of the world we live in?
"Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be"--can't remember who said it, but I believe it and am pretty committed to having fun while I'm here. I'm just as comfortable snuggling in front of a movie at home, as I am hiking up the side of a mountain or dressing for an event at the PAC. I love to travel and I'm not afraid of a little dirt when the going gets tough.
I'd like to meet someone who enjoys sharing outdoor adventures. Meeting up for a bike ride or taking my dog for a hike, then making a nice dinner afterwards is my idea of a great day.

Date men and women from Alaska, United States. I'm interested in up front and honest, someone loving and caring, not someone who's into playing games or the "player" type. I'm interested in seeing who's out there that has some of the same interests as me and also interests that you have unlike mine. I don't make a whole lot of time for myself, however, if I meet someone who sparks my interest, I will ALWAYS make time for that person. .
I'm looking for some friendship/dating and we'll see where it goes from there. I would also like someone who understands that I still love a little independence and who won't smother me. I'm grateful for my two children and even more thankful to have a loving God who protects us and guides us every day. My children are truly my priority. I try to instill great morals into my children and I'm not perfect in the lease, I just try to live by the Golden Rule and do my best.
I just seem to be missing that one connection to share my interests with, someone that I can really connect with and enjoy some time with doing whatever sparks our interest. I love to cuddle, slow passionate kisses, sporting events, flower gardening, taking pictures, hanging out at home with the fire going, watch a movie, just snuggling and sharing a glass of wine, nice quiet dinner or just hanging out. Whatever we do, if I'm with the right person, anything we do together will be great.
My friends would describe me as funny, loving, would do anything for you, all or nothing kind of gal, but probably most of all selfless. I think I can be shy at first, but once I get to know someone, then totally comfortable.

Date people from United States. Things that make me smile - boogie boarding, sunshine, exercise, NPR, Craig Ferguson.
I really like nice teeth think taking good care of yourself is important.
Nice manners are very attractive.
A good vocabulary is sexy.
An outgoing, cheerful disposition would work well with my personality.
I'm looking for someone who enjoys outdoor activities. I skate ski, ice skate, hike mountain bike. I walked the skinny mini 6 k did the AK Run for Women 5 miler in the last couple of weeks. I caught a 60 pound king on the Kenai.
They say variety is the spice of life - enjoying a variety of activities, foods, fun are important to me. This week I've been to Bear Tooth, the Peanut Farm, Spenard Roadhouse.
I've been doing some remodeling but it is hard to do when the weather is so nice. I've also been working on planting a few flowers in front of my place.

Thank you for looking at my profile. I'll keep working on it.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Im looking for some one to have fun with and to do things with like camping, watching football, go for a drive on a beautiful sunny day. Enjoy the out doors, go fishing, just someone who i can enjoy the company.

Date a woman from United States. If you can't figure out what my title means....not trying to be conceited, but I believe there aren't many like me, and we are hard to find. I've been told there are still good men out there, men with honesty, integrity, and character. I'd really like to believe that, so let's see if there are.
I am not a supermodel, nor an Olympic athlete, but I do try to dress attractively, and pay attention to personal hygiene, so I look (and smell!) good for whomever I'm with. I am willing to try almost any outdoor activity I haven't tried before, although I am not a natural athlete. I cook, clean, and like to keep a nice home. I've had drama in a previous life, so I am OVER it, and don't want any more. The only baggage I have is a kid in college, and that is coming to an end soon. (I couldn't have special-ordered a much better kid--I am blessed.) I still believe nice matters!! I am also able to laugh at myself quite freely, and enjoy a good joke, but I don't like mean humor.
I love to walk, hike, bike, travel, read, sew, refinish old furniture, and many other things. I love being outdoors. Cooking out and entertaining friends is a fun thing for me. I'm a pretty good cook indoors, too. I try to eat a fairly healthy diet, and I exercise regularly. I tend to be very good to the person I'm with.....I have a very loving, giving heart, but that doesn't mean I'm a pushover. I have been used and abused in the past, and I won't take that anymore. But be good to me, and I will give you everything that I am capable of.
I have a good life, good friends, a great family, and a good job, but I miss someone to share it all with. Cuddling, talking, cooking together, etc. are all high on my list. I also am probably not willing to move out of state to pursue a relationship. I love Alaska! And PLEASE just be honest with me--if you are not emotionally available, or not interested in a potential long-term relationship, please don't start something. Honesty is the ONLY policy with me.
I have been divorced twice, both times because of substance abuse (theirs, not mine). So please respect me, and don't contact me if you have any issues with addictions. I realized I was finding men with dependent personalities, so I cannot and will not re-visit that scenario. I would like to find a man who WANTS me, but doesn't NEED me to survive.
My faith is also important to me, and I attend a non-denominational church that I love. I would like to share that with my partner. That being said, I am not "religious," but I do have a relationship with our Creator. I try to treat others like I want to be treated.
I am a very soft and kind-hearted person. I believe I am an exceptional woman, and my friends would agree with you. In fact, I can let you have their phone numbers so they can vouch for me! :) Like most women, I would prefer to be pursued by a man that is interested in me. So if you want to know me better, let me know! An email is a great place to start.....

Meet men and women from United States. I am looking for an honest, compassionate, sincere, kind, spiritual soul. Control Freaks,alcoholics, and any man that has EVER hit a woman need NOT respond.I am looking for someone that I can build a relationship with, so mutual respect is very important to me. By the way, I am really not looking to be sexually active right now so if that is something that you have in mind, you should look at someone elses profile. I am looking for someone that has good communication skills as well as good listening skills.

Date someone special from Anchorage, United States. About me let's see...... I am always smiling, I like to be out and about, but I do like quit nights at home. Love to be on the back of a Harley and heard I am an excellent rider :) I like to snowmachining even though I have only done it once I had a blast and would do it again. I like to camp with good friends & family, I like to fish when I am on the family's boat. I am independent, I don't need or want your money or your material things. I am a bartender and believe me I have met all kinds. I would like to find the right person to spend my time with. I do not want someone who is full of BS. or who LIES. I want HONEST & LOYAL. I am a very affectionate person. Would love to see more of Alaska with that special someone. Family is very important to me.

Meet people from Anchorage, United States. I am divorced mother of three grown children who live on their own and an adopted 7-year old who lives with me full time.
I am friendly and outgoing and enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I am happy having a BBQ at home or going out to a five star restaurant just the same. I love to country dance and listen to country music. I enjoy many other types of music from Bryan Adams to AC/DC and even listen to Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez with my 7-year old.
I enjoy most outdoor activities and especially hiking and going for walks. Although not real good at winter sports - I have really enjoyed cross country skiing and would like to go more often to improve. My summer goal this year is to get out to the driving range and golf course and learn to golf. Something I have always been interested in but never took the jump (or swing I guess).
I enjoy bicycling and love to fly in small planes and wish I had my own pilot's license except then I would want my own plane and that is an expense I am not willing to tackle on my own.
My job provides me with plenty of social opportunities which I enjoy very much. I work with an amazing group of people and enjoy attending the various events.
My idea of a perfect date is a picnic with a campfire and a bottle of wine and a cozy blanket for sharing.
I am looking for someone that isn't afraid of communicating and just talking. I believe communication is the key to building a foundation for any relationship whether as lovers or friends.
My closest friends are always telling me that I need to do something for myself and not worry about others so much. That is difficult for me since I care very deeply for the people in my life - but I'm working on it.
