Date men and women from Petaluma, United States. I moved here from Ecuador over ten years ago. I care deeply about my friendships, my family, and helping people through my work. I am passionate and love to laugh. I am loyal. I chant daily as part of my Buddhist practice. I had polio as a child, but I don't let this hold me back in life.
I am seeking someone who will explore friendship before rushing into romance, who loves to laugh, who cares about making a difference in the world. Ultimately, I am seeking a long-term intimate relationship, with someone who knows how to deeply connect but also values some independence. I am looking for someone who has a fulfilling life.
I speak English fluently but it is sometimes harder to communicate in writing.
I love to dance, read, relax with friends, explore the world. I keep myself pretty busy with Buddhist meetings, my work, and friendships.
I am always interested in learning -- perhaps in the future I may be a social worker or nutritionist. Now I am working in a clinic for low-income people, teaching people with diabetes how to live healthily and manage their conditions.

We are each so important. Everyone deserves recognition and kindness at the very least. I make it a point to notice people we often ignore, including homeless people. I do think it makes a difference.
I am attracted to relaxed, gentle, confident men who are intelligent and comfortable with themselves and who they are.
I love learning from my partner, and I need intellectual stimulation. Emotional and physical togetherness are lovely and necessary too.
Let's go to a lovely party, an art gallery opening, the Theater, a grungy party, a messy adventure, kayaking, mucking about on a farm, a street fair, and a who-knows-what! Oceans, open spaces, cottages by the sea or a brook, fancy hotel, quiet camping, and Swimming in natural bodies of water.
I want (need):
To hold and be held. Always honest; the truth keeps us free. Time apart brings us closer together. Conversations and comfortable silences. Laughter and silent understanding. Romance in all senses of the word. One who will love and care for my 9 yr. old daughter, who is with me part time. Time to spend together and Be together. One with self confidence and a positive outlook. Love of travel and the outdoors. Grow. Love.
I'm looking for: compatibility, a man who is smart, imaginative, open, readable, handsome, objective, reasonable, curious, and politically and environmentally concerned. Or at least some of those: no one is perfect.
Holding, cuddling, snuggling, my head on your shoulder, being in each others arms... are all important.
I'm seeking, ultimately, a long-term relationship (turning to marriage I hope), and I'm ready and willing to put in the work to keep it fun and functional and growing.
I'm empathic, I can usually read others feelings, and I need someone who communicates well. I seek a blend of comfort, adventures, and security
To love, to learn, to grow, to romance, and the intimacy. I'd love to talk and learn from you!
Let's play and learn and get sand in our shoes.
