Date a soulmate from Palo Alto, United States. I am a hard-working individual from the Midwest with strong family values. I am proud of the way I was raised and feel fortunate to be part of a large family who knows how to communicate and be there for one another. Being able to laugh about practically anything with my friends definitely makes my day and I have been known to be quite sarcastically playful.
I am passionate about traveling, exploring, and learning from what this world has to offer. There are so many amazing places to see, like when I watched the sun rise from the top of Mt. Sinai in Egypt. My interests are endless and always look forward to another adventurous experience. I am determined to somehow, someway, accomplish everything on my list of life.
I am looking for a woman who appreciates commitment, children, family, and strength of character from her partner. Someone who has an outgoing personality and is open to exploring the wonderful world we live in. Please give the rest of my profile a read and let me know if you would like to chat further. Thanks!

Date someone special from Palo Alto, United States. I am a very happy person who is satisfied with most every aspect of my life. I work in the high tech field and have done well in my area of expertise. I have one grown child (20) who is off at school in Santa Cruz, and 2 small ones (47) that live with me part time.
I am very active in my free time, going to various places here in the Bay Area. Most recently have started biking with kids and socially. I enjoy camping, hiking, sports and am in decent shape. I can be very laid back and enjoy following, or step up and lead if needed. I am generally the kind of person you want around in an emergency, whatever the problem is, since I am very level headed and can deal with issues and conflict well.
I am also very into music. Love to hear live music, or my favorite DJ's spinning in SF, or on the softer side I enjoy spiritual music such as kirtan or bhajans. I have been actively involved with Asian religions and martial arts for the past 25 years. Initially Rinzai Zen, but the last 12 years or so have been a follower of Ammachi on the spiritual side, then about 8 years of Shorei Goju hard style martial arts.
I am looking for a friend, someone to enjoy my life with, who shares similar beliefs and goals. I hope to find someone who I am attracted to mentally, spiritually, and physically. I have finally learned that I need all three to be completely happy in a relationship.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Well - I've been told that I'm a little different. No one believes my age (to the match who emailed me to inquire about my pics - yes these are very recent pictures!) and despite the demure, feminine look, I can banter with the boys. I won't drink you under the table, but I might win a few bucks from you on the golf course! Blame it on my dad - I'm the son he never had (I'll explain in person).
Originally from the East Coast, I was finally brave enough to relocate a few years ago and I'm loving life in Calif. I view life is an adventure where you never stop growing so... what better time to learn golf and snowboarding than in my 30's then bike my first century and run my first marathon in my 40's. These are my latest obsessions. In fact, I consider a bike ride, or round of golf as a good date activity. I get to see if you throw your clubs, swear or keep honest score.
I enjoy dressing up but I am most comfortable in jeans, shorts and flipflops. I love food (I read cookbooks) and enjoy most every type of cuisine from fine dining to burger and fries.
I've got the book smarts and have a thing for the nerdy boys but I appreciate emotional intelligence the most. Win me over with your great social skills, a kind heart, sincerity, honesty, humbleness and a great sense of humor.
I value my family and friends and am looking for someone who shares the same values as I do. I am driven both professionally and in my personal life. I am currently training for my first Ironman triathlon. However, I do know how to chill. Every now and then, I think it is terrific to have a lazy day in my PJ's, no shower, no agenda, maybe a game of scrabble, a card game, or a good movie. I enjoy the simply things in life: a sunset, the sound of the ocean, a good laugh with friends.
I am looking for someone who is serious about finding a good friend, companion, playmate and life partner. If you honestly pursue life with the same level of passion and energy and can laugh out loud along the way with me, then I'd like to meet you.

I like traveling. I have been to more than 20 countries so far. I have a successful career and enjoy my job very much, but I also know how to balance my work and life.
I am looking for someone who is ready for a long term relationship; someone who is not afraid of making commitment; someone who enjoys giving and receiving affection; someone who can be my best friend and share my deep inner feelings with; someone who is intelligent, genuine, honest, kind and trustworthy; someone who has a good sense of humor and will make me laugh.

Meet men and women from United States. On the flight back home from London recently, I sat next to this lovely lady from San Diego, we chatted about life, love, friendship, men, what we want in life as women, especially women like us, who are independent, educated, hardworking single mothers. She shared a successful love story with me - she found her true love from an English gentleman and are having a great time in life. Her eyes sparkled when she talked about him. I was genuinely happy for my new friend. It also reminded me that life is full of possibilities.
Back to reality, Match.com is definitely not the most romantic venue to find love, but for whatever reasons we end up here searching... I wish I could bump into you in my dry cleaner's or during my morning coffee run at Starbucks, it would be so much more romantic - love at first sight, maybe...
Oh well, but I'm here... Here are some facts about me: I live a clean healthy life, I consider myself a responsible person, and always honor my words. I long for close and affectionate relationships; desire true intimacy with somebody I'm deeply in love with.
I'm 5'5", slender and toned, not an athlete anymore, but am mindful of keeping myself fit and look good. I see this as part of being responsible. I am comfortable dressing up in heels and dressing down in my favorite jeans, and maybe occasionally in sweats. I do like fashion and do keep myself in style. I look a lot younger than my biological age (thanks mom and dad for giving me good genes). All body parts are original, no replacements
I'm not looking for a sugar daddy,nor do I want to be a sugar mommy! I'm looking for my equal.
If you are one of those who only uses Match to find temporary flings to fill your empty soul, we are not compatible, please leave me alone.
Date someone special from California, United States.
Who I'm looking for is.... to find someone to settle down with who will be my best friend, whom I can talk to about everything & anything. Someone who gets teary eyed when you look at them because they "Love" you as much as you love them! Someone who I will want to rush home from work to see because it hurts to miss them, or for that matter someone whom I will miss as soon as I let go of their hand to go to work in the morning. A romantic at heart, someone who leaves love letters in my purse or in my car...... Someone with whom you can kiss and the feeling of everlasting love tingles your body as you feel the first kiss, with every kiss....
If I spark an interest, please write me.
Meet a woman from California, United States. When seeing my friends in happy relationships, the commonality of them all, that they are best friends. A MUST for me. I don't mind dating to see if we can evolve into great friends, but I do not take making a commitment lightly.
Having something is common is essential. I learning from conversations with my partner and engaging in an activity (i.e. performing arts or a Sharks game) -- hitting museums is not my thing. Trying to get me out of a hardware store and stationary/gift stores is difficult, but it is as far as I go with shopping. Sharing a common interest or simply being in the house at the same time, but doing something on our own is great. But, making a meal at for for 2 or having friends over is my most a favorite thing.
My preference is for dry, witty humor (like that of British). And, when I come across a cat or dog, that is what brings the largest smile to my face. Well,, a second to seeing my to my nephew (8) and 2 nieces (4 & 6) when they are happy and carefree. Family is essential, but my folks and one of my brothers live back east in Canada so I see them ~ once a season.
I can't let go of loving a man walking on the street-side of the sidewalk, while I walk on the building-side (an old tradition). Being gracious and grateful are qualities that stand out most for me.
My biggest pet peeves are: rudeness, talking on the phone or texting (unless we know that an important call or text is coming through), and eating with one's mouth open).
To sum it all up, if this is something that, you too, are looking for, let's email!
