Date women from United States / Alaska, 38 year old

Date a woman from Alaska, United States. I am a single mother to a 16 yo. Divorced since 2007. I am a hard working independent person. I love being around people but I'm also satisfied being home alone (or w/a companion). I love people watching. I enjoy the company of someone that can make me smile as well as enlighten me in some way. :) I enjoy being a passenger on a motorcycle; I wish I lived somewhere I could ride year round. I enjoy the outdoors; hiking, camping, fishing... I've hunted but never shot anything (bow hunting). I LOVE laughing. I enjoy comedy shows concerts.
I'm new to this whole internet "meeting" thing... I'm looking for someone that is easy to talk to, someone to make me laugh! To talk with... to just be! I don't want a lot of stress!

Meet someone special from Alaska, United States. After much consideration, and much changes on my profile for the past 7 years; I realized that to be in love and to be loved, I need to take a step of faith (in you and in me).
It seems to be more fair and realistic to allow, who you are and who I am, to be discovered. I am very traveled, accustomed to be treated with love and gentleman like manners by male friends, father and brothers, Not at all a rugged, harsh or tough woman in the negative sense of the word. I love to adventure in nature and outdoors activities, but keep a foot in the classical world life style too (European descender and culture). Hoping that somehow that wont scare you away, much to the contrary, but that I will put a smile on your face :-), as I hope deeply, that you will put one on mine! I believe in pure devoted love. I am a gentle and kind, with a keen sharp mind to figure things out. Seeking someone who wants a mix of fun, loving, exciting and adventurous long term life together. I am not a dater and most probably will not date you at all if I feel we are not comparable, just because I don't believe in taking up your time or mine.
All I want is to set an open heart/mind challenge to you, and hope that's what you too are looking for. I take my time and give you yours to figure things out... I like it that way. :-)
I can't change you, and you wont change me either. So, let's be cool on that, right? If I don't respond to your winks or emails, which is rare, it is because I have used my God given discernment to know we are not a match, as I know the same it will happen from you toward me. I am absolutely fine with that too!
You can only give what you have, does it sounds fair to you?
I wish to meet someone who wants a companion, best friend, intellectual and heart connected lover and someone who can talk back to you (in a loving way of course :-) I am very active and fascinated with life and with the nature of "man", children, as I hope you are with woman's.
I must say something to you Man; you were created wonderful, powerful, strong, courageous, funny, willing to die for the right cause... You are majestic in your nature!. I hope this explicit demonstration of admiration for you won't make you think or feel that I am being cheesy or weird, I observe how people interact with each other and it is mostly negative and down on each other, I hope this will just bring a candid honorable and envigorating encouragement to you, as recognition or, make you rise to those words. Okay, that's all I had to share! Have a lovely day!:-)

Date a soulmate from Alaska, United States. Ok here is a little about me. I'm a very honest upfront kinda person. My friends would say that I'm a really caring and social person. My friends and family are really important parts of my life. I am a very loyal and dependable person .
I really don't have a specific person I am looking for. The most important thing is that I meet my best friend and lover! I hope to find someone that is honest and upfront like me. I want someone who is sincere and trust worthy. Someone who cares about others. I want someone who values family. I would like to meet somone with the same kind of interest and values. Gotta be able to just laugh!
I like to go camping, hiking, four wheeling, drink coffee, reading, go dancing and just lay around the house at times. I am open to experiencing new things!

Meet a woman from United States. I am looking for just a normal type of guy. Someone with varied interests and who likes to live life to the fullest. Someone to go to parades with and those festivals they have in town. I am not a big risk-taker. I like to keep my feet on the ground. Don't be a testosterone crazy male. I mean, you can like to chop wood and make campfires and maybe even a little into sports. Not looking for an over-the-top relationship. Just want a mellow, casual see where it goes type of thing. Not looking for someone with a lot of sexual energy. Need someone I can trust when my back is turned. I'll do the same.

Date someone special from United States. I am an introspective person in search of chemistry and someone to mutually adore. My ideal companion is a calm, considerate, best friend. Together we will move mountains and accomplish our goals with a lot of goofing off and recreating intermixed. -Not that progress and fun have to be mutually exclusive. I appreciate the finer things in life and don't take little things for granted. How about an art show, ice cream cone, massage, bluegrass, a hike, or a walk to check out the sunset or full moon? I need a lot of air and activity so try to get outside as much as possible.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Hello! What to say... I was born in Alaska and besides a couple of years in California, Washington and Oregon, I have lived here my entire life. I would describe myself as caring, passionate, compassionate, intelligent, and humorous. I am shy at first, but warm up quicky. I love a good conversation and playful banter. I am searching for a friend, lover, and partner in crime. :) Someone who takes life seriously, but not too seriously.
I am looking for friendship first, and then work into something more if we are both feeling it. I find that most people like to hide behind their computer and chat forever. Living in Alaska, it seems that we are a little more isolated than most, but I want human contact. Chatting is good, but is not a good substitute for real life. I am educated, and just a cool person to get to know! :)
A little bit about me... I grew up in a very small town in Alaska. We only had three channels on the TV growing up and had those rabbit ears to get good reception. :) My summers were spent on an island where I commercial fished with my family, played outside, made forts, built campfires, caught all kinds of sea creatures, and generally had a good time. The highlight of my day was listening to Paul Harvey on the radio. We didn't have running water and had to haul all of our drinking water in pails up a huge hill where the house was. I love this kind of life. I think we have gotten so wrapped up in material things that many have forgotten what it is like just to be simple. Although I don't go to that island anymore, it is still in the family and my children still go over and work alongside my grandfather, who I have to say is the person who I admire the most in this world. One of my best memories ever was when I was 18 and I took the boat out at 4am and just sat in the middle of a huge pod of whales. They were surfacing all around the boat and all I heard was the water lapping against the boat, and the sounds of them coming up to the surface. It was so peaceful (and a bit scary!)
I am 38 years old and have come to a point in my life where I know that it is a real possibility that I may end up alone. Lately, I have been coming to terms with this. I haven't been in a relationship in a couple of years. I have three kids, ages 19, 16, and 12. I have had the chance to settle, but find that i would rather be alone than be with the wrong person. I don't care how much you can "offer" me, in the end, if we are together, we have to generally like and respect each other. Having mutual regard is huge. I like to be independent too. I believe it is healthy for partners to enjoy each other, but also have other things that they enjoy as well. That being said, I also believe in monogamy.
I have lived a full life. I have made some mistakes along the way, but have chosen to use them as lessons instead of regrets. I choose to look at the bright side of the situation and believe the best in people. This doesn't mean that I have rose colored glasses on, because I am also a realist. I believe that being humble is beautiful. When you can humble yourself, many people see it is weak, but I believe it shows true strength. If you are interested, I would love to hear from you. :) Have a wonderful day.

. I'm a kind, optimistic person who likes to live spontaneously. I enjoy talking to people and hearing what others have gone through in their lives. I try to find beauty in everything. I enjoy traveling, trying new foods, and laughing. I feel I'm a very genuine person - I don't like fake people. I like to go out and have fun but I also like to stay in and watch a good movie.

. Yes, I know my hair is short. I shaved my head this spring in support of someone close to me losing her hair to chemotherapy. My theory was that it grow back.
Running and reading, dancing and movie going, exploration and staying home, persistent and flexible, outdoors and the theater, leading and following.
Meeting challenges and defying expectations are the core of my personality. I enjoy traveling and have traveled by myself but enjoy also going with the right person. I love learning and try to do something new or different every time I go someplace new. Thailand, scuba diving; Vietnam, firing an AK-47, etc. Dancing is one of my favorite hobbies. I started with country dancing in Wyoming, swing dancing in Alaska and Salsa dancing in Hong Kong.
You have a passion to live with the recognition that life is best lived. You enjoy being active and traveling. You love to snuggle watching tv or movies but are willing to go outside for a hike or a walk in the snow. Learning new things is exciting and ignites your passions. Family is very important to you also.

. I am hard working, positive, outgoing. Honesty and integrity are essential.
I am grateful for each day I wake up and its not -40 and my car starts... laugh out loud.
I like looking on the bright side of life. I love being around people that see the glass as half full. Life is to short and too full to have regrets.
God bless all the broken roads that led me here.
Gotta love Chena Hot Springs, Chena Lakes, Pioneer Park, or any park.... love the outdoors this time of year. I like going for a bike ride or taking a long walk. I am beginning to roller blade... swimming is always fun.

. I am easy going love to laugh and ready for a new adventure. I work hard, have excellent work ethics and believe hard work pays off. I have been at my job for 14 years and love it. I love to get up early and run 2 miles. I have 2 great pyrenees that love walks and car rides. I have great friends and enjoy spending time with them. I am greatful for my health, family and my son. Life is to short and I am ready to have some fun.

. I am very easy going. Not taking this computer thing too seriously, but what the heck. I I love to travel and have a vacation planned every year. I would rather have an experience than something tangible. I am looking to meet that man who I am attracted to, a man with confidence, stability. He should be easy to talk with and have an intellectual conversation and then act like a goof. Must have a sense of humor! I like to have fun which could be anything with the right person. Life can't be taken too seriously and it should balance with reality. He needs good values and morals. Write, lets talk and see where it goes.....

. I am at work and in the backcountry alot and I am grateful the oppertunities work gives me. I work long hours and travel around the state most of the summer. I love traveling and seeing new things.
My family lives across the country and I will drop anything to be with them. I love life in many ways and am thankful for all that I have. I am true to my word, honest and a faithful friend and family member.
I am looking for someone who can deal with me being gone lengths of time, Who is honest and likes to have fun!
