Date men and women from California, United States. I had withdrawn in forest, and my song
was swallowed up in leaves that blew alway;
And to the forest edge you came one day
(This was my dream) and looked and pondered long,
But did not enter, though the wish was strong:
You shook your pensive head as who should say,
'I dare not--too far in his footsteps stray--
He must seek me would he undo the wrong.
Not far, but near, I stood and saw it all
Behind low boughs the trees let down outside;
And the sweet pang it cost me not to call
And tell you that I saw does still abide.
But 'tis not true that thus I dwelt aloof,
For the wood wakes, and you are here for proof.
***Robert Frost***
Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I live in a little beach community a few miles south of Santa Barbara. My kids are grown and the youngest has just gone off to college. They mean the world to me but I miss sharing my life someone.
I am a friendly, happy and loyal type of person. The whole idea of " you have my back and I have yours" is important to me. I am passionate about the things I believe in and open to new things. Laughter is great and I believe a good sense of humor can bring us through tough times. I like to have fun, be silly and am not locked into a set of behaviors based on my age.
As for my perfect match, I think it is most important to keep an open mind. As the saying goes "shift happens" so it is probably smartest to go with it, and see what happens. Sometimes leaving your comfort zone can be a great thing. Important to me is surrounding myself with positive people that want to live a full life.
I've experienced enough to know that over the long haul it is the day to day interactions that matter. When all is said and done these are just words. The reality is it takes much more to get the true essence of a person. An email is a great way to start!
Date someone special from California, United States. I love to travel. I love to surf, hike, play volleyball, tennis, ski. I love to live live to the fullest. I am fun, romantic and introspective. I love poetry, foreign movies. I love to speak French. I am spontaneous and like to get up and go as the spirit moves me. I like to ride my bike along the coast. I'm not looking for a "perfect match"; I don't think it exists. I am just looking to share some of the things I love with someone who also loves those things... Physically, I have to say, my ideal man is over 6 feet, in good shape and very sexy. I also seem to like alpha males who are physical and tactile, yet sensitive to my emotions. A difficult balance, perhaps, but not impossible. For what it's worth, I am a very young 50 year old!!
Meet a woman from California, United States. IРІР‚в„ўm easy going, honest, loyal and compassionate with a big heart. I have a gift for making people laugh (often IРІР‚в„ўm not even aware that I have just said something funny). I am frequently told my laugh is infectious. I prefer sitting in front of my aquarium or reading to watching TV, which I reserve for an occasional DVD or special program.
IРІР‚в„ўm looking for that irresistible combination of masculinity and gentleness. My ideal match is compassionate, articulate and dependable with a great sense of humor. My pooches are an important part of my family, so IРІР‚в„ўd like to meet someone who loves animals, too. IРІР‚в„ўm drawn to men with broad shoulders and expressive eyes. I also appreciate someone whoРІР‚в„ўs easy going and a good listener. Sound like you? I canРІР‚в„ўt wait to learn more about you!
Date men and women from Carpinteria, United States. I am an energetic, athletic fun loving, young at heart woman with a zest for creating- be it a company, a restaurant, a garden, a not-for-profit. I am here to make a difference in the world and by example I live each day with 100% consciousness.
I love a healthy lifestyle, but I'm a sucker for desserts, chocolate and a great bottle of wine. I love energy, excitement and change. I would travel the world if I could and breathe in everything I see.
I love and give 100% of myself, I ask only for transparency in return. I am not necessarily looking for a full time partner but a great friend to share life's moments would be awesome. I am independent, self reliant and strong. I value a physical relationship and believe that physical chemistry is a must. But my past relationships have been friends first so I am looking a great friend and then hope the chemistry ignites.
Meet men and women from California, United States. A real man has charisma, passion, confidence, and reliability. A real man is not afraid to show his emotions, because he is secure in himself. A real man knows what he wants from life, and always puts his woman first. A real man knows how to treat his woman, and will go out of his way for her. You can put all of your faith in a real man, because he will not fail you.
Date people from California, United States. I am a loving, intelligent, creative Woman, true to the man I am with. I treasure my solitude, and have a strong sense of independence, yet I've missed being in love. I'm educated (looking for the same) and have worked intensely in my life, as a Professor and Artist. Now retired, I am at the phase of my life where I'm looking to incorporate as much pleasure & joy as possible. This often presents itself in the form of travel, a good dinner party (hosting or attending), a long walk on the beach with the dogs, a museum opening, coffee/tea or a good glass of wine with a good friend & intelligent conversation.
I'm OPEN to what a good, solid relationship/friendship/partnership, with equality, could inspire.
I have been an Artist all my life, with creativity being greatly valued. I "live & think like an Artist," which might have certain quirks about it. I relish intelligent, esthetic conversations, perspectives & PLAY. This intelligent, sensitive & loving man I am seeking would need to like dogs, travel, cooking & dining out...walks in Nature, a good movie & ART. He would be optimistic with a tendency towards Liberal thinking - a Loyal, True, Trusted Friend. I would genuinely love one last unspoiled, deep relationship in this beautiful life we traverse - together. I find joy in being close, but need my "alone time" & I respect that in others. I enjoy a sense of adventure; perhaps taking off in the spur of the moment inspired by an instantaneous good idea. NO SMOKING.
I love walking my 2 dogs on the beach or in the hills, creek-side or desert. I'm in & out of town often, that Gypsy in me, visiting friends all over. I like to get to the CITY occasionally, but also spend deep, quality time in NATURE. I'm retired from a long teaching career at a small university just north of San Francisco, so my time is mine. More recently, I have retired from my art career culminating with a large Retrospective Exhibition. In tandem, I self-published a limited edition, 100 page artist book, which represents my life's work, at least to this point. NOW I'm "cleared" & ready for what's next??? Remaining OPEN, without judgment or expectation, it would be quite nice for this to include a true, loving relationship – savoring the Slow Dance. I haven't committed to a geographic spot just yet - keeping this open has been a bit of a trick. There are many places in So. Cal. I like living. This could be misleading; I am grounded, financially secure, and my own person. I’m hoping location won't be a limitation. Geography can be resolved; it's the relationship that's of the greatest importance.
I am genuine in this search and not a serial dater. Having evolved over a lifetime, itРІР‚в„ўs interesting to meet people at this phase of life. IРІР‚в„ўm open, but not looking for someone younger. For us ALL, life has presented many ups & downs, opportunities to evolve, learn & go forward. I wouldn't pretend to project what a person I would meet has achieved in a life-time, or how that might blend with who I am now, but it would most likely be a higher connection if there was an interest in the arts & some out-of-the-box free thinking.
I'M OPEN to the DREAM, and what we might create together, at this time NOW, hand in hand - equally.

Date a woman from Carpinteria, United States. I'm a good communicator with a great sense of humor, who loves a good laugh. I'm still trying to find ways to be a better human being, and hope I'll never stop. Taking pictures, playing piano, walking by the beach and working out at the gym are my most frequent activities
I have one adult daughter I love deeply. Raising her has probably been my greatest accomplishment.
Now it's my time to try to find a good man to share my life with; a man emotionally stable and available, able to give and receive love. You would be sincere, open-minded, flexible and curious, as I am. And I expect we can share common interests and/or find new ones that bring us closer.
I value integrity, sense of humor, courage and generosity, and a compassionate heart.
I believe that any close connection starts with a good friendship. If you're local it will be easier to get to know each other and be friends. From there, let's see where we want to go...

Meet a soulmate from United States. I was in education for 40 years, and retired last year as Principal of Canalino School. Despite my husband dying of cancer 4 years ago, I try to live life to the fullest. I am busy volunteering, and enjoying my children and grandchildren.
As busy as my life is, I would like to have someone in it again. I enjoy lots of things, and appreciate someone who will listen, and can share in activities together. Despite the number of my age, I am active, healthy, and busy.
I love being outside, gardening, walking on the beach, walking my dog, and really enjoy skiing. I can be grungy in the garden, but can and do present myself well at lots of functions in SB. I enjoy a challenge, but am enjoying the more relaxed lifestyle of retirement. I volunteer as a mentor, and assist in my granddaughters classroom. Love movies, dinner, and just sharing the days adventures.
