Date men and women from California, United States. I have an easy going, live-and-let-live outlook on life, and I'd like to meet someone who feels the same -- someone who enjoys being in the moment, being together. My interests run the spectrum. I enjoy the usual: restaurants, movies, exploring all that the Bay Area and California has to offer. We're really lucky to be living in such a beautiful place! I especially like outdoor activities -- hiking, biking, camping in the Sierras, skiing at Tahoe, just being in the fresh air. I enjoy a good conversation, but I also like doing things rather than just talking about them. I'm intelligent and well educated (Harvard, Stanford Ph.D.) with an inclination for the technical. I am affectionate by nature -- if you don't like holding hands, a lot of touching, hugging and kissing, and flowers just because, then I'm not the one for you. Around the house, I'm a bit of a Mr. Fix-it -- and as any homeowner knows, those skills are constantly being put to use!
I'm looking for my best friend and lover, a highly affectionate partner, a great kisser and hugger. Someone who shares some of my interests – a glass of wine snuggled by the fire or dressing up for a night on the town, taking off in the middle of the week to play tourist in the City, or going for a quick trip to Yosemite. Someone who is looking for a close relationship and wants to spend time together. I'm attracted to women who have a sense of elegance and style, and I'm a sucker for the right perfume. A sense of adventure with a glint of mischievousness is a real plus. If you have an easy going outlook and like active times outdoors, as well as quiet (and not so quiet) times together, then I'd love to hear from you.
BTW, everything in my profile is accurate, including my age. I would hope the same is true for yours.
Meet single man from California, United States. I have a high toleration level, and can get along with most people. I feel I am a good catch as likewise that I would like to find that compatible mate who from the start will know if there is a spark or some chemistry going on. It would be nice if she is bright, sexy, affectionate, funny, and is as interested in me as much as I am in her. And of course all of the interests, and compatible stuff that can make us good friends as well. I sort of like a woman who can be quiet as well as talkative. The last one wouldn't let me get a word in. I want to wear the pants but you can tell me which ones to wear. If your not much of a music person then maybe we won't click. I play in a band as a drummer singer but we only average at the most two band engagements a month. It would be great if you love to dance and play music yourself or even play an instrument. It's not crucial but it's convenient to share some interests. To tell the truth I am signing up for this because "It's not fun being alone, sometimes, and I feel the need to be loved again".
Date a man from California, United States. I am a well traveled professional who enjoys personal fitness, music and interactions about social events. As to fitness, I really enjoy road cycling alone or in a group. Cycling through the peninsula hills provides me with an appreciation for the beauty of our wonderful area as well as time to meditate while feeling the experiences of fitness and fresh air. As to music, I enjoy a wide range from jazz, to rock and roll, to reggae and of course, classical. Live concerts regardless of type seem to heighten the experience. I do like to socialize including going to a good restaurant or a recent movie in the theater. Movies directed at social themes or realistic romance are the ones I enjoy. I am very interested in social issues and see myself as one with a left perspective.
I am interested in someone who is interested in sharing similar experiences in a open and communicative way that can evolve into a romantic experience. I plan to draw upon many satisfying earlier life experiences to develop a great future relationship.

Date a soulmate from Palo Alto, United States. I have had a very good life and am grateful. It has been punctuated by many similar joys, misunderstandings and moments of relearning and tragedies that most of us have had by the time we are in our 60's. Raised in the Bay Area and Palo Alto by Mid-west parents, I moved back about 8 years ago. Spent the previous 25 years in Los Angeles where I was married, raised a daughter and son and had a wonderful career in art departments in the film business. It was good to me yet after years of racing to deadlines and through 10-12 hour days not counting driving I grew a bit tired and bored. Probably was the fast approach of middle age and wanting life to have more meaning. Chose teaching and it was a smooth transition. High school. Harder than I thought but at least very meaningful. Anyway...I consider myself educated, informed, semi-erudite, politically minded, a good parent and most of the time easy to get along with. I love a good conversation that has direction without the need to win. I love a day in the City, the Dish, travel to just about anywhere in the world and enjoy conversation with wine while cooking. The usual good stuff of life. The NYT in the morning. I have a very busy life, take care of an elder parent, love my children and enjoy our maturing relationship yet need that friend, that love, to weave into my life. I am financially secure which offers comfort by my age. Most of my close friends live in Los Angeles and Australia which tends to be a drag. But as Gail Collins says, I digress. I am looking for someone who might fit under a similar umbrella. A man who has has a varied life, children, believes in being aware of and involved in the world's events and hopes for a better future through kind actions. Laughter is always good. I like to start as friends and do not have immediate expectations that exceed that of meeting another engaged person. If it grows then we are very lucky. I don't feel jilted if we are polite, enjoy a cup of coffee, engage in a two-way conversation, laugh a little and decide to not pursue a personal relationship. And hope for the same in return. I think this covers the basics! And a final note, with due respect for the system, I don't respond to winks. Aside from that, this summer is beautiful!
Meet someone special from Palo Alto, United States. My interests are always changing depending on my partner, where I am and what I am learning.
I love a man with a wonderful sense of humor. It is so much fun to just laugh out loud. It's the very best aphrodisiac and puts one in a beautiful state of mind and it feels good! Intelligence and thoughtfulness, the ability to change when needed and an open and loving understanding of your world and mine. What we explore together is so important for me in a relationship. I would like to visit new places, people and ideas with you. Learn from you and you from me. Love with friendship is a special state of mind that most seek and never find. I believe in it. I would like you to show me your favorite places, starting with this beautiful region of Northern California. I am always amazed at it's great beauty, but have found sharing this makes it all so much more extraordinary. Living life to it's fullest is a big idea, but I am game to try it and not wait another day. Since I believe that life is full of surprises, many of which we would never expect, it is wise to live out our dreams now and not wait. Don't you feel that way? I hope you do and if not yet, let's learn together.
I hope to hear from you soon
