Date people from United States. Not looking for romance as much as someone to share time with. I Want to be comfortable and laugh. I hate and avoid confrontation. Honesty is the most important quality anyone close to me will have. I am strong and confident and will not tolerate complainers. A lively, good card game with good wine and some yummies to eat is my idea of a good time.
Meet men and women from United States. I love to touch - hold hands for starters.... I love the outdoors - hiking, birdwatching, gardening. I also love to go out to eat and see movies. I watch ALL of the 49er and Raider games. I used to be very smart - I have a B. S. degree - but now I walk into a room and can't remember why I'm there..... Oh, well.
My life is full, fulfilling and wonderful; yet, I am still looking for a companion and someone to spoil and to love. I am a very affectionate person and would like to share my life with someone special.
Date a woman from United States. I'm a dancer at heart and I don't care if anyone is watching. I'm a glass 3/4-full kind of person. I'm a doer not a hire-for-work gal. I enjoy hard work and hard play. I like a bowl of popcorn and a crab dinner. I'd like to meet a man of a similar mindset. Pessimists need not apply, and if you can't pound a nail, you neither. I'm very physically oriented so I work out and you should too and you should enjoy it while you're doing it; we could do it together. Laughter is required every day, real laughter not stupid jokes, more like Dilbert or Baby Blues or Robin Williams. And alas I am an A-type, but in a good way.
Meet someone special from United States. I am looking for a kind person with a sense of humor. I just retired in Jan 2012, and I am starting to enjoy that. I have been very lucky to have the interesting job that I had for 35 years, It was great.
Date a woman from Martinez, United States. I usually love writing, but this is tough. We live in a wonderful part of California and I think it would be more fun to enjoy it with someone who felt the same way. Ideally that person would be generally happy and open and without a dark side. I love my jobs - both are part time so I'm not looking for worldwide travel adventures but day trips and shorter adventures are definitely good.
Meet people from California, United States. I am a classic late-bloomer and feel I am ready to restart my life. While I have stayed active and successful in my career, I have not taken the steps to find someone to share my life these recent years, until now.
Who Am I? I am an independent and self-reliant, but know that I become despondent when I spend too much time alone. As an extrovert, I love being out and around people.
What makes me feel content and satisfied is learning something new: I am forever reading and investigating new ideas. I am excited about new possibilities and discovering new places to explore, whether in my neighborhood or in the world.
What I am absolutely passionate about is education reform. Public schools, especially urban schools, do not provide the opportunities for achievement as the schools I attended (many years ago). I love exploring the new visions for schools such as bringing 21st century skills into the classrooms. I am clear about my vision for high schools to become vibrant places for all students to succeed. Thus, I am grateful for the opportunities to work with some schools in Oakland to support principals and teachers to improve the educational experience for youth.
Another long-term passion is the astrological world. I am a practicing astrologer and intuitive counselor who sees the world through the archetypal lens that Carl Jung described in his work. Since my childhood and throughout my life, I have had experiences that reinforced a knowledge of the multi-dimensional world that is our world, our universe. I have studied metaphysics and believe in a set of universal principles. You might say that I subscribe to the "New Thought" movement. This belief system drives my thinking and my actions.
A good match for me is someone who wants an equal exchange in a relationship. I cannot abide with someone who has to be the authority and lectures or "preaches" non-stop. I love someone who is inquisitive and who is naturally bright and creative.
People that I love to be around and are descriptive of my close friends are artistic, musical, creative, and even spiritual or philosophical. I love deeply soulful relationships, not superficial and artificial connections. Therefore, my friendships are few, but are sacred to me.
These thoughts and opinions I have shared are not all inclusive nor are they the only things that describe or explain who I am. But, it is a start. Thank you for reading this!
Date a soulmate from Martinez, United States. Although I enjoy music, I generally drive in silence. Although I might enjoy an occasional movie, I don't have a TV. I don't need alcohol or drugs, but chocolate, ah, that's a vice I haven't overcome yet. I enjoy reading, writing, art & vegetarian cooking. I prefer a man that's more action oriented than talkative, has a good relationship with his mom/children, has his own interests which he may or may not share with me----that does not include other women! What I've been & done in the past may or may not be what I do in the future. Some things are for sure: I am a spiritual seeker, but I don't intend on attending church every again if I can help it. Yet, I would if it were important to a significant others. What is important are the values & ideals a person has. His life & my life would merge, create a new whole, who knows what life would be like! I've been through so many changes, I won't try to predict my future.
Meet people from Martinez, United States. I am definitely not the serious type. I love a good
laugh and hope to find someone with a great sense
of humor. Don't get me wrong, I can/will be serious when needed. I enjoy close family. My family is kinda noisy and rowdy at times, but when the going gets tough or someone needs special attention, we are larger than life with no limits. It would be nice to find someone that has family that comes together and has lots of love. Personal hygiene is very important to me. I have noticed that some of us out there seem to forget how to use a wash cloth or toothbrush or just find it too much work to do so. Oh Yuk! Just because we're old doesn't meen that we can walk around with bad breath or extra body odors. I still want to smell good and look as nice as I can - like maybe some handsome guy would find me attractive and want to kiss me or smell my hair or something. How exciting! Anyway, I am looking for a man who cares about himself and others, loves to laugh, is dependable and wants to meet a woman with same.
Date someone special from California, United States. I am a very positive person. I enjoy meeting new people. I am moderate when it comes to politics and conservative when it comes to money. I am enjoying the freedom of retirement. Although I really liked my job, and the National Science Laboratory I worked at, it's quite wonderful to not have to commute any longer nor be responsible in getting work done 40 hours a week! It's quite fun to go hiking, exercising, taking a long walk, seeing a movie, going to a museum, or working in the garden any day that I have the desire to do so. I'm a happy gal!
I'd like a man who is assertive but kind. A man who can take care of himself, but has no objection to taking care of me when I need it. I would gladly reciprocate. I think a long term relationship would be quite nice. I realize that it would take time and effort tor this to become a reality, but I am willing to try because I believe that a special man can enhance all the good things in life. I'd like to be the sparkle in your life too. Cuddling and laughter are two of my favorite things.
I'd like good conversations, sharing thoughts and opinions with you as well as enjoying a romantic time together. Hope I hear from you!
Meet men and women from California, United States. I love to travel and play golf and would like someone to enjoy life with me. I love to be happy and can make someone a good partner. I enjoy being with family and I enjoy my church but not to where it involves my whole life. I want someone to be able to go see things with me and explore the world. I am very patient but I do require respect to me and my values.
Date someone special from California, United States. Greetings, About me; I wake up in the morning glad to be alive and wonder when the next adventure will befall me. Spontaneity is a friend of mine. I'm enthused about the future and what it will bring. Have a wonderful family and circle of friends. I am financially secure and have free time to travel, pull weeds, design and build a house, volunteer, meet you in the City for lunch, go skiing for the day, walk, or take my friend to her chemo sessions. What I am missing is a gentleman to share with me all the amusing moments life has to offer, the peaceful quiet times, the beautiful sights surrounding us and the new lessons that are making themselves known to me all the time.
I am affectionate and generous with compliments. I would really love the same from you. I do have a sense of humor (which is not apparent here). I can laugh at my mistakes, can you? It takes me a while to make friends, but once I do, their successes make me happy or their sorrows make me sad.
I don't want to change you. I'd just like to be there when you come back from a great round of golf or a day of fishing, etc. and share your happiness. (If you're on a boat doing anything, I'd like to be on that boat also.)
I am a helper and pitch in always. Comes from being the eldest of 5 children.
"I feel Pretty," sung by Maria in West Side Story. Well, that's just how I feel. I think that's a good thing.
