Date people from United States. "Smart, girl seeks super-smart, fast talking, good looking, psychologically-oriented guy. I'm highly observant, intense, creative, a little wacky. I'm not particularly adventurous, can gear up for crowds, but like peace and quiet. My emotional baggage has been inspected, sorted, mostly transformed into strengths.
"I am looking for someone who can match me, challenge me, argue with me, agree with me, meditate with me, be creative with me, be present with me, teach me, learn from me... you get the idea.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Although I've been thinking of doing this for a while, only recently have I been ready to meet a genuine friend, who could become a lifetime partner. General specifics: I am youthful, single, healthy, and happy with my life. I test ten years younger than my chronological age, and am quite fit. Gainfully self-employed; and love my work. My passions are many: the art of communication, art in all it's forms, philosophy - particularly eastern philosophy, meditation; regular exercise, being in nature; socio-political interests and concerns (such as what the heck is going on in Washington, and how can we change the 'state of union'). My work experience includes being a television journalist, an entrepreneur; and currently a business owner and private fiduciary. All photos (except the last) were taken October 10, 2011.
I am a native Californian, raised by an 'old world' mother in the values of politeness, kindness, and femininity, which is a fair description of my way of being. I have worked hard to cultivate an ease of being in my life, and I believe that is how it should feel in relationship with someone if the connection is real and for the relationship to endure.
I value tradition and some of the more old-fashioned modes of being. At the same time, I am a child of the 60's, and that spirit of openness, optimism, and of being able to make a difference in the world has been a driving force in my life. It is a heartfelt commitment of mine to make the world a better place for myself and others. That can involve organized efforts and lobbying for policy changes; but the small day-to-day opportunities are contributions to change, and equally important (think: interactions with the checker/bag-check person at the grocery store). There is a bumper sticker I would publish if I could only find a way to make it more succinct, without losing the meaning. It would read: “I believe my behavior casts a vote for the kind of world I want to live in”.
I am endlessly curious about life, fascinated, and often amused by human nature, the goings-on in the world, and politics. I am concerned about the direction we are going in as a country…but that’s another ongoing conversation. I can never, ever, get enough good conversation, or a good intellect, or intellectual openness and curiosity. And if that intellect is informed by the wisdom and values of the heart…such a pleasure, and so extraordinary.
As for dating: I am basically an old-fashioned girl at heart, so online dating is a departure, and somewhat awkward to me. I appreciate a man who knows himself well, has an interest and discipline in the care of his health and fitness, is smart, kind, accomplished, and who has a good sense of humor about himself and life. A man who treats me like a lady, who takes time and values getting to know me; who follows up and connects after a date; and who initiates next steps. I imagine a friendship that develops into a long term partnership, and includes a genuine ease and pleasure in each other's company; and the potential to grow more so over time. If this resonates with you, then I would welcome hearing from you.
So far, my life has been blessed with a range of wonderful opportunities, wonderful friends, tremendous challenges at times and a lot of growth along the way. All has been extraordinary and a complete blessing. I am anticipating another great thirty years or so, and I welcome finding a partner to share and enjoy life and the adventures that are coming next. And now, what about you?

Meet a woman from California, United States. WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR:
I am a youthful and energetic woman looking for an honest man who is comfortable in his own skin; someone who is loving and considerate and looking for a life partner; someone who says what he means and does what he says;someone who is accomplished in whatever his endeavor; someone who enjoys new experiences; likes to travel domestically and abroad.
Equally important to me is that this man has faith in something higher than himself and understands the power of forgiveness and the beauty of renewal. Two way communications, meaning sharing and listening to each other is important. Financial stability is important. Awareness, if not interest in community, domestic and world affairs would be icing on the cake.
I would love to meet someone with a healthy sense of humor (laughter is great!), who enjoys music (I love jazz, classical, spiritual, and more), dance (we can make up our own) and who can sing (trained or not, even if its out of key)!
A LITTLE ABOUT ME:
I am California born and reared by loving parents. At age 17 I went away to college in the South, followed by travel and living in Asia for 4 years. I returned to the US to work for a major corporation where I spent enough years to retire. I have owned my own business since then, but now I am enjoying a new life.
I am passionate about love of family although mine is woefully small thus I research my genealogy; I love to write historical fiction and family memoirs (haven't published any yet); natural settings (parks, oceans, mountains) inspire me and connect me spiritually; traveling helps to broaden my understanding of similarities and differences in ways of life and philosophies that can help me make sense of world issues; I enjoy enlightening experiences , meditation and social gatherings and interactions.
WHAT'S IMPORTANT:
Above all, I want to know that my partner is there for me and for him to know that I will be there for him no matter what life throws our way and that there is always mutual respect.
My parents were married for 68 years after knowing each other just 3 days before they became engaged. People often asked them how on earth they had such a successful marriage. They often retorted, "We've had our share of rough times, but we have this rule - we never let the sun set on an argument even if we have to agree to disagree." I'm looking for that! How about you?
