Date men and women from United States / California / Albany, 45 year old

Date someone special from Albany, United States. I don't think a perfect anything exists so let's be real about this. Who i'm looking for is a lady with a brain,humility and a sense of self. A good sense of humor is a must as I try to laugh at all of life's funny twists and turns. I'm looking for a best friend, playmate and partner. You know ,the person you talk to on the phone late at nite and text between bart trains. Friends describe me as the calm one, steady as a rock ,your all around good guy. Heck, one of my friends wanted me to date his sister but I balked at that one. God knows what this cyber dating world holds for me but you don't know untill you go for it. If there is a lady that I can compliment her life and she mine hopefully this will be the path to it.

Meet a man from Albany, United States. I have been a student virtually my whole life and I am now starting my "adult" life - so I am somewhat in transition socially, financially, and in lifestyle. I work and hangout with a lot of young, active, fun people, but am looking for someone more "age appropriate" to spend time with. That could be just friends, but I am also looking to start a new romantic/sexual relationship.
I am a small town boy. I like that there is so much to do in the Bay Area (music, food, culture), but I spend very little time in the city and prefer to get away from people and traffic when I can. My ideal weekend includes getting out into nature rather than hitting the clubs.
My hometown was like a Normal Rockwell painting - beautiful New England landscapes and kids playing sports in the backyard. I miss the northeast, especially autumn and all my family lives there, but am happy to have lived in some great places. After going to school in the Pacific Northwest I worked in Hawaii, living in native rainforest on an active volcano. But despite the beauty and slow pace of life I needed more intellectual stimulation and went back to school for a PhD studying insects (but don't think I am the stereotype of a nerdy scientist). I feel fortunate that I love what I do today as much as I did when I took my first entomology class many years ago. It doesn't hurt that my work has taken me all over the Pacific Ocean looking for undiscovered species!
I enjoy meeting new people and can usually find something interesting to talk about with almost anyone. I don't mind being the center of attention if I am playing guitar/singing or giving a presentation, but prefer intimate one-on-one conversations. I can be easily coerced into having fun, or if I see that you are too shy I can be the instigator. The times I enjoy most are tide pooling, hiking in the woods, or camping. I am generally pretty active and enjoy playing all kinds of sports, though I don't really watch much sports anymore. I imagine most people think I am very serious and intellectual. But those who know me best will tell you I am funny, thoughtful, kind, and generous. I can enjoy with equal enthusiasm staying home watching a movie, conversation at a bar or coffee shop, or a dinner party with friends. I am also a 'productive procrastinator' - it is amazing how much I accomplish when I am avoiding doing other work.
I like a woman who feels at home in jeans and a sweat shirt, but also likes to put on her 'little black dress' once in a while. She is outdoorsy and likes to explore. She enjoys thoughtful, spirited debate, but like me, does not take herself too seriously. I like to learn from others and am attracted to those who pursue their own creative/artistic expression. It is OK if she does not like to cook because I like to, but I would also be happy as the sous chef if that meant learning to prepare new cuisines. And liking animals is a must.
I am not looking to fill a hole in my life - I quite enjoy my life. I do not feel a need to be in a relationship, I just want to be. Also, I like kids and have a lot of fun with them, but I probably do not want to have any of my own. Which is kind of a shame, because I think I would probably be a great dad. I also find pouring through profiles on Match exhausting. So don't be afraid to make the first move.

Date people from Albany, United States. Give thanks every day for being alive. Love this beautiful planet and all the life, diversity and connections. If you don't love life I'd ask why you are here. Looking for honesty and a deep connection. Life is short, let's enjoy while we can, causing no harm.

Meet a woman from Albany, United States. Hi there. Thanks for checking out my profile. I guess I'm looking for what we all are: that person who makes you feel like the best version of yourself. Someone to laugh with, hang out with, get serious with. Someone who can express himself well and knows how to appreciate the simple moments in life. Someone intelligent, funny, kind, and honest.
I am the mother of the world's most talkative 10-year-old boy, who keeps me laughing and makes my life so much fun. I'm so proud and lucky to be his mom.
What else about me... I am always up for trying new things and seeing new places, but I'm just as content to cook some comfort food at home and snuggle up on the couch for a good movie. I love being around people who make me think and ponder and laugh about life. I'm a pretty grounded person and would describe myself as low-maintenance -- definitely not into relationship drama. I love hanging out with my family, and I'd rather be surrounded by a few close friends who know me really well than be in a room full of random acquaintances.
I am making a midlife career change and getting my teaching credential. I've completed all the coursework and just finished my second semester of student teaching in a second grade classroom. Currently I am subbing here and there and I hope to have my own class next fall.

Date a soulmate from Albany, United States. Looking for someone who is easygoing, laughs a lot and respects people, nature and animals. Someone who is independent and takes the initiative and knows how to listen and fake it when necessary. Romantic and smart, goofy and thoughtful.
I describe myself similarly to what I am looking for.
Life continues to take unexpected turns. I am at a crossroads and would love to find someone to connect with, laugh with and try both new and old things with. My interests are varied. I have a demanding job and two beautiful children and am thankful for all the good things that have come my way and which I have created.
Not sure this is the right place to look, will give it a chance. I feel like a divorced man with kids would be a better fit-or someone who understands compromise, the needs of children and the importance of small gestures and kind words. As much as I love to travel, and try new things most time is spent in the kitchen and family room and I want it to be filled with love, laughter, wine and good food.
I am drawn to almost anything French. Spanish and Italian run a close second.
I need someone who enjoys being together even if we are doing our own thing. I like sitting together on the sofa scratching feet, reading, paying bills, dreaming etc. I like quiet time and not a lot of drama. I hate tv on during the day unless it is a good movie, sporting event or one of my favorite shows I missed the night before.
I love my job, but I dream about being a landscape architect or designer. I imagine living in another country at some time.
I am attracted to people who are center of attention, super smart, yet know when enough is enough.
My kids are with me most of the time and take up most of my time-as it should be.
I think mixing with someone with kids would be great.
If you want to know more just ask.
