Date a soulmate from California, United States. About Me: I lead a very active lifestyle, working out 5 times a week and fortunate enough to be healthy and in excellent physical shape. I love to laugh, love to dance, entertain and cook, love wines, I am "into clothes" and style, like to travel, golf, go to the theatre, music concerts, and the ballet, and love sailing on the SF Bay. I am known as a complex and non-stereotypical woman that is kind, warm hearted, empathetic, charming, giving, intelligent and wise, fun, mentally healthy, confident, giving with a strong personality, very "live and let live", independent and recognized as an excellent "bottom line" and direct communicator that shows finesse in its style, who is also good at resolving (and avoiding) conflict.
As a former Information Technology Executive and Consultant, I have managed an average of 260 people, $60 MM budgets, mostly in $1B and larger firms, for over 20 years in companies like IBM Global Business Services, Hewlett Packard, Apple Computer, LSI Logic...
What I am looking for: In a relationship, I am looking for a current or retired Doctor, professional or executive or business owner that is looking for a companion and partner that enjoys life to the fullest with a great sense of humor, and has a great heart and an ability to empathize.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Happy, healthy and I like to laugh. Enjoy a variety of friends and activities; movies, sports, music, the outdoors (rain or shine). Have traveled a lot, from The Ritz to hammocks in the Amazon. (Spain, The Amazon and a long cross country drive off the beaten path my most fulfilling trips to date). Quiet times at home with a good book or movie works too.
Value long time relationships with family and friends across the country. Comfortable in almost all social situations, transition easily from baseball hat and jeans to black tie; my preference small and casual. Confident and outgoing but a shy side will occasionally surprise me! Tend to find the humor in most situations. Seek open honest conversations covering an array of topics. I really enjoy cooking and entertaining when it isn't a must. Not a drama queen, really!
You don't have to be the life of the party. Please know who you are and how you want to live the rest of your life; can take control when necessary but not controlling and accepts the same traits in me. Easy smile, young at heart, common standards and values a must. Positive attitude, can communicate how you feel (good or bad), respectful and, embraces a healthy lifestyle.
Love my adult son, my dog, good coffee, Fall, lakes, waking up early, morning and evening walks, baseball and much more.......
I am a believer in chemistry, spontinaity and, honest communication. I like giving back....
Please send a message if interested; I don't respond to "winks".
Date people from California, United States. IРІР‚в„ўm a smart, creative, warm, and energetic woman. I love to laugh, travel, dance, read good books, see engaging movies, have stimulating conversations, dance/hug/smooch and share quiet time, too.
I have a great relationship with my family (that's my beautiful my grandaughter and I in one of my photos) and IРІР‚в„ўm a loyal, compassionate friend. I like being healthy and fit, so practicing yoga, dancing, and walking are part of my life.
My ideal partner is someone who is fully engaged in life and looks forward to the possibilities. I appreciate a man that approaches life with vitality, energy, and openness. ItРІР‚в„ўs important that he be smart, intelligent (not the same thing), have an easy sense of humor as well as a sense of play, be comforting and caring, have integrity and live a healthy lifestyle. I have been successful in my career and would appreciate a man with the same.
ItРІР‚в„ўs key for partners to be willing to communicate openly because compassionate, honest communication is the way to work through differences and gain greater intimacy. IРІР‚в„ўd like a confident, authentic man, who knows who he is, stands for what he believes in and is comfortable in his own skin. Partners share interests but also have interests that are uniquely theirs. IРІР‚в„ўd like a partner who has interests of his own but enjoys some of mine, too.
ItРІР‚в„ўs challenging to describe everything about oneself or the ideal partner because chemistry, communication and connection are essential.

If youРІР‚в„ўre open to possibilities, contact me.
