Date men and women from United States. I am an honest, careful, and deeply loving person, so I am looking for someone who can return or appreciate those traits. At the same time, I am eager to travel and to learn and to have fun. I am often caught in the tension between staying and going, giving all I can to what is here and now, or reaching out to some new promise. And so I am looking for someone that will be a partner in adventure as well as in the things that sustain the familiar (and familial). I am looking for someone kind, generous, but also practical and driven. I am drawn to artists and mischief, as well as to quietness and resolve. I hope to find someone who can complement both the staid and versatile parts of me, who is playful and open to the world while remaining true to himself and his heart.
Meet someone special from United States. I am easy-going and fairly intelligent. I am looking for someone who enjoys a good discussion and learning new things. My idea of romance is sharing a good wine in front of a fire on a cold night, walking in the woods after a rain, a secluded beach, watching a thunderstorm (one with lightening), a fine dinner in an elegant restaurant, wandering through a crowded farmers' market or summer fair or just curled up with each of us reading our favorite book. It's really the chemistry and connection that makes anything from an exotic vacation to cooking dinner together a romantic experience. And I think that life should be full of romance! I am a college administrator and have worked in higher education all my professional life. I get to work in a field where I help people and occasionally change lives. It can be very rewarding. I have acquired a certain amount of status in my field and have the opportunity to be involved in devloping national and state policy, which is what I really enjoy. I am divorced and never (unfortunately) had children. My siblings thing it is because I grew up as the oldest of 8 kids and had my fill of raising kids at an early age. Actrually I would have loved children, but it just never happened. I compensated with a dog for a while, but am now flying solo. I think that our lives are shaped by the people that are in them and I am looking forward to meeting you.
Date people from La Canada Flintridge, United States. I am active, excited to see what each day brings and have plans to live to a healthy old age (around 130?!!!) I love my work with adolescents and have no plans to retire but would make room in my life for a man who both sees and loves the strong and fragile side of me. I have the most amazing family (meaning my three children, one granddaughter, four sisters, two brothers and 17 nieces and nephews! Whew!!!!) We are close despite living all across the country.
I love the usual things.... the ocean, the mountains, travel.... sunrise (don't see THAT too often!) sunset and the midnight stars in Sedona...., people, great conversation, music (almost all kinds)and most especially taking time with that special someone.... sharing our busy days... planning adventures and/or time with our respective families. Dancing has been a lifelong love of mine. My dad taught me ballroom dancing and I learned swing and salsa as I got older. I'd love to find someone who enjoyed it too!
I've never understood the age "thing". Age is relative.... I know young people who are far older than I (and not in a good way).... they are stuck, not open to ideas, unwilling to try things or learn things.... I am in a constant state of growth.... exploring my political thoughts, finding friends of all ages and learning more and more about technology ( I've been an "Apple Girl" since Apple came out with their Apple 2E!) I love my 4GS, Ipad and Macbook... though I can't say I spend much time on Facebook or "tweeting"!
I can't say exactly what I am looking for in a partner but I know that most of us are looking for the same basics.... honesty, integrity, an ability to be open and communicate, humor etc.... It takes awhile to find that special person and along the way I hope to meet some great guys .... some of whom will become great friends and perhaps one who will be "That Special One"!! Along the way I hope we dance!!!! I look forward to hearing from you!
