Date a woman from Ladera Ranch, United States. I love to travel, mostly by ship because I'm on planes way too much. My daughter's about to go off to College so I can now think seriously about dating and me time. I would love to find a companion, travel mate and eventually someone to grow old(er) with.
I used to live in Northern Italy for 10 years, where I taught English as a second language during the week, and on the weekends, I spent time baking cookies to sell to pastry shops within the area. While I was there, I married, had my beautiful daughter, and divorced after 7 years.
Back in the US, I enjoy spending time with both my daughter and friends. I also enjoy spending time cooking for friends and/or family. I enjoy spending a quiet night at home over a roaring fire, a glass of wine, and great conversation. I'm hoping the person I meet enjoys the same.
I am looking for somebody that loves to travel, spend time with friends, and can go from a group setting of fun and laughs, to a quiet, more intimate time between two people.
I have very strong family values and seek the same, as well as maturity and humor. I enjoy a good laugh, honesty and would hope to find somebody that feels the same way.

No the profile header does not mean I'm schizophrenic or bi-polar. We all look at Match profiles and draw certain conclusions. I presume most men draw conclusions from the pictures alone. Sorry guys, I don't post pics of places I've been because I figure you're here looking for a date/mate or wife/strife! Oops! I mean life! Since most of the pics are taken by me or a friend with an iphone, they are not the best but I don't think I'd disappoint you in terms of appearance. I did post a picture taken 22 years ago so you can see that I haven't lost 100 lbs to join Match; nor, oddly, have I changed my hairstyle much. Egads!
The Dichotomy of Me refers to what I put out there, what you might perceive and who I really am. We all know for women sex sells. If I were to wear my hair in a bun with a long skirt and clogs, it wouldn't matter much what I write in my profile because you'd likely pass on the pics alone. That is of course unless you're Amish. So, I do wear short skirts, stilettos, nicely fitted jeans but am always tasteful and appropriate for any given situation; and a bit "inappropriate" when it's just the two of us. My style is what I call classic with an edge and I can still pull off a bikini or, if you don't think so, you can pull off my bikini. And this is what I mean about dichotomy. I am straight-forward, honest, smart, funny, smile a lot and can easily hold a conversation. One of my best qualities is creativity and it's a quality I use for many aspects of my life which includes romance and sex. On the other hand, though I may banter about with sexual quips and innuendo, I am looking for the real deal and am not looking for a hook-up, f-buddy nor am I easy.
My counterpart's qualifications: Intelligent in the ingenious, creative, intuitive way, not the God-awful "know it all" way. Smart, successful because he's smart, a good sense-of-humor and self, thoughtful, considerate, well-mannered, clean-cut, romantic, sexy, fit and fun. Must love dogs. A positive attitude, understands compromise and doesn't debate piddly little stuff. Did I mention gorgeously handsome?? Jk. Take a look at the pics and not in the usual, "I like or don't like what I see", but would we HONESTLY make a handsome couple? It may seem a lot to ask but most men want a confident woman. So isn't it better to know what I want, then to simply say, "Oh baby that's good" ;)
Last bit of info for any newbies to my blog-styled profile. Feel free to visit and read, I won't consider you a stalker nor will I stalk you. I don't email or wink at anyone but see who shows up at the proverbial door. I have been separated almost as long as I was married, 11 years; definitely not going back and will explain if we ever meet.
