Date men and women from United States / California / Saint Helena - page 3

Date someone special from Saint Helena, United States. I like to have fun and thrive off of spontaneity. Slow nights are just as nice. I am a fish that has outgrown her small hometown pond and is looking for someone to brave the seas with, literally and figuratively. I love my friends and family and am very thankful to know each and everyone of them. I was adopted at birth and feel I have a different outlook on some things in life and I love that about myself. I am looking for someone that would like to travel and help me discover the world both local and distant. Also you must have a great sense of humor. I love comedy and sarcasm. I am very open to new things and will try anything twice... Because once might not be enough.

Meet men and women from California, United States. Hi, I'm Allison! I'm orginally from Austin, TX hence the ATX screen name but am currently living in north Napa Valley while I attend the Culinary Institute of America. Back in TX I owned 3 businesses, personal training, personal chef/caterer and yoga instructor. Currently when I'm not in class, I am a catering my own event or working as a winery chef. Yes first bonus to dating me is discount wine! So between all that and taking care of my personal business I have very little time to go out and meet people outside of my circle. I also want to spend my limited free time with people who are engaging and fun. I graduate from school in October and am not sure where my next step might be so I'm really not looking for anything too serious but I'm definitely not closed off to the possibility, because who know what can happen in life.
As far as my personality goes I'm kind of a walking contradiction. I am a personal trainer yet one of my passions/jobs is specialty baking. I'm really goofy (I was the high school mascot) yet I am obsessed with NPR. I love getting dressed up and looking/acting girly but I can operate power tools, change a tire and camp with the best of them,.All very helpful skills I aquired being raised by my amazing father. I love high-end events and art shows but raised hogs in high school, was Ms FFA and can country dance all night. I might be pretty but I was a super nerd growing up, went to Space Camp, have a degree in computer science and can hook up my own electronic kind of nerd
So now on to the important stuff, what I am looking for and a few thing I'm NOT looking for.
Looking for: funny, educated, well-read, active, TALL, good-looking, opinionated, well-rounded, open minded, confident, sexy, good kisser, not to serious, fashionable & good conversationalist.
OK so this may be a little harsh but I've think I need to put out there what will not work with me &/or my lifestyle.
If you eat fast food more than a few times a year because I haven't eaten it in at least 5 years. I want a burger it's gonna be a good burger from Nopa not some crap from a drive-thru. On that same note, if you are a picky eater...ummmm...not gonna work because I will admit I'm a food snob and yes as an adult you HAVE TO eat your vegetables and try new things.
If you watch TV excessively, I don't own a TV but do LOVE sports & movies.
If you are under 6'1", sorry boys, I'm 5'9" & I wear HIGH heels.
If you don't workout MOST days of the week. I workout or do some activity, swimming, running, biking, ect, 6 days a week. It's a HUGE part of my life and I need someone to shares that passion. You must be in good if not great shape, for slightly superficial reasons (gotta be attracted to you) and mostly for general health reason.
If you are socially conservative. I was raised by and artist in Austin and am very open-minded to everyone and love passionate discussions about politics but if you voted for Bush the 2nd time likelihood is I'm not sleeping with you, LOL. Fiscal conservatism I understand far easier...I actually lean more on the Liberation point of view usually.
OK well if you made it this far congrats, trying to weed out some folks so we don't waste each other's time. If you still decide to email me put your favorite food as the subject.

Date a woman from Saint Helena, United States. I LOVE and CRAVE:
Indulging in this hedonistic wine country lifestyle, but balancing it out with deep conversation and listening to music with friends, introspection, quiet nights at home with a good book or movie.
Long strolls with my pooch around town.
Spending the day on the Sonoma coast hiking and staring at the ocean, reconnecting.
Catching a live show at a small music venue or festival.
Driving with the windows down and the music loud.
Meeting new people and sharing stories that will stay with us.
Being kind to strangers.
Feeling completely out of my element!
Strong, self made men.
Men with musical abilities.
Larger than life personalities.
Smart people who know about things I don't and being with people who enjoy the things I do...
People with opinions and life experience.
Feeling like I am part of something bigger than just myself.
Being an independent, self confident woman!
ESSENTIAL TO MY WELL BEING:
Live music-it captivates me!
Friends who have my best interests at heart. There is nothing like knowing you are loved by a friend.
Wine-I make it and I am studying to become a sommelier and a wine educator
Cooking Great Food-I cook constantly! I love everything about it. I think about it and read about it constantly.
TRAVELING to far away places and leaving life behind while I am away.
I have a big personality - I like to laugh and shine, it's innate to me! I'm not loud or obnoxious and I don't make a scene, I'm just happy about life most of the time.
I am not a drama girl and I refuse to participate in games of the heart, one would have to be a masochist to take part in a game with so few rewards...if this is how you associate being loved, we have nothing to confer about. I am a together woman. I don't need to be fixed and have no interest in fixing you...through a few unwelcome experiences and a lot of introspection, I have recently figured out that I have zero tolerance for people who lie to me, exaggerate the truth to show themselves in an unfair light or to make the story more dramatic. I need to work on my tolerance level and learn not to let these people get to me. I'm still a work in progress.
I am open and honest and love to share and enjoy my life with others!

Meet someone special from Saint Helena, United States. My friends describe me as outgoing, flexible, intelligent, health conscious, laughs a lot, sweet and compassionate. I help disadvantaged people and animals. My pets are rescue animals. Also, instead of bringing biological children into a world with so many orphans, I desire to help find good permanent homes for orphans.
IРІР‚в„ўm seeking a financially stable, kindhearted man who has no biological offspring. IРІР‚в„ўm seeking friendship first for companionship where we enhance each otherРІР‚в„ўs kismet.
It’d be nice to share long hikes and intellectual discussions on a multitude of topics including, technology, new ideas, politics, economics, health, fitness, nutrition, etc with my partner. I enjoy creating unique healthy cuisine. It’s getting boring cooking for myself…It’d be more enjoyable to cook for two.
Thanks for reading my profile. I wish the best to everyone in finding their dream partner and relationship:)

Date someone special from United States. Girls just want to have fun : ) Out-going, smart, creative, health conscious and believe in God. I like kids, pets, sports, movies, music, shopping, being with friends, to travel and love to laugh. I am looking for the same and it has to be fun and easy.....

Meet a woman from California, United States. My teenage kids say that I have the mind and body of an 18-year-old. Smart kids. They think that's going to work on me, that they're going to manipulate me a bit, get something they want. IT WORKS!
The three of us are solid family. We've had to be in order to survive what I would estimate as more than our share of challenges. Do you know that saying, "Whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger?" There's a load of crap if ever there was one! I've been an only parent a long time, and it is exhausting. On the other hand, I can improve anyone's free-throw. Oh, not you? Yes, you. And by the way, what is that weird thing you are doing with your left hand?
My son is learning to drive, and I'm using the word "learning" with broad interpretation. After backing out of the driveway a couple of times, I decided that I'd just get it over with and stick him out on the road. The interesting part of this experience for me, was that I got to see a whole new side of myself that I'd never known existed. Specifically--and this is according to my kids--I was, under my breath, using the f-word a lot. I doubt it. But I do remember having that novel feeling that, perhaps, I was about to wind up in a fiery ball of flames. I don't think I said anything out loud, really, except, "BRAKES!!"
this was the n=end
That's the mother-teenager, touching sight that just might make some people tear up. My kids, practicing basketball, me saying to them lovingly, "Relax your damn hand on on the follow through." Together, the three of us have been through just a stupid amount of hell. Ridiculous. If they made a movie of our lives, people would say it was overdone, not realistic, far-fetched. But .not boring. Not boring. The result of all of it is that I know that I deal with most anything thrown my way. I'm pretty solid that way. But when I generously let in a car in traffic, when I go out of my way to be polite and allow them to merge in front of me? Then they better wave that little "thank you wave," or I'm going to take out my 45 and shoot their tires out. I LIKE my little thank you wave? Is that asking so much? Wave, damn it. Say, thank you. It's not that I'm unstable, it's that I really believe in good manners.
Most people think I'm funny. The ones who don't tend to be the people who don't wave thank you when someone lets them into traffic.
I don't understand why so many of the men's profiles have pictures of them holding dead fish. Gleefully holding dead fish, as if to say, "LOOK! I'm holding a big dead fish and it is dead, dead, dead. LOOK! See? It's DEAD! Am I sexy, or what?" It gets me all hot and bothered just thinking about it. Okay, baby--now just show me your car's brake pads and we may have something real going.
, so petty! Generally, I don't like petty. I don't like it when petty people get all lathered up over petty issues. The exception to this rule is, of course, is when I've gone to the hair salon. There's a critical post-hair salon time period during which it's strategically smart to tell me that my hair looks great. Lie, if you must. This is an acceptable mis-truth. My son has learned to avoid any of my pettiness on this topic by constantly telling me that my hair looks great, including when I've just gotten out of bed in the morning and it appears to be electrocuted. Picture Einstein.

I'm an animal person. I was almost a marine mammologist until I realized that it was a little more involved than calling Flipper, and swimming around the ocean holding his fin. There's actual research that needs to be done--work! I have dog-training in my background, and I've used it on my kids;
I'm confident and outspoken, when necessary, but also a little shy. I won't back down if I've sensed an injustice, but I tend to be more on the private side, with, of course, the exception of writing THIS, in public

Date men and women from California, United States. My closest friends would describe me as a fun loving woman who knows how to have a good time. Someone who knows what she wants in life and goes for it. I am spontaneous, happy, strong, but at the same time easy going and I love to laugh and have fun. What makes me smile are my two beautiful daughters, my dog, dancing, walks on the beach,cooking a great meal with a beautiful bottle of wine, living in the moment and living life to the fullest. I am grateful for my family and my health. I work hard and play hard. I have been into classic cars and had many of my own as well as sold them at one point in my life. One of my hobbies is collecting Vintage Jewelry from the 50's back when jewelry was made with a feminine delicate touch. I like to explore new things and people are my passion in life. I always say you can never have too many friends. I am in an industry that allows me to meet wonderful people every day so I love my job and am very secure with myself. My work ethics are great from having been in the Military (Air Force) for 10 years. I am an old soul and so when I love, I love with all my heart. I would like to attract a man who is goal oriented, someone who has morals and ethics in his work and in his play, a hopeless romantic wound be nice! He has to be someone that is my friend first, a gentleman, respectful, honest, fun loving, loves to laugh, travel, be in the moment what ever that is and has a great smile and a great heart. I want someone to appreciate me for me. I am looking for a long term relationship, someone to grow old with. If you are that person then let's chat I would love to have the opportunity to get to know you!

Meet a soulmate from Saint Helena, United States. I am a happy, life loving person with an appreciation of wine, dogs and kissing, not necessarily in that order.
I enjoy being active and outdoors often and am hoping there is a masculine counterpart roaming the planet, ideally in my backyard but perhaps at a distance -- a sturdy soul, with a steadfast, kind heart, some ability to light a campfire and pitch a tent (with my help!), an inclination to hike a wooded trail or to rise early to explore a new city, to read aloud, go for a swim, to laugh, to hold my hand, enjoy delicious foods, -- who might take a moment now to write a note of introduction. Thank you if you do so.
I find that where a bottle of wine can travel (anywhere) is where I want to go and it seems to me that kisses would naturally follow. Specifically, a glass of wine might be combined with kissing in a way that creates a fond memory or becomes a love story to be retold throughout the ages.
I live and in the beautiful wine area of the Napa Valley and am an executive in the wine industry. I have two happy, funny, wonderful kids, one who is heading off to college in Florida this year. I am in the middle of an 18 month part time Executive MBA program so life is busy but very good.
I am hoping to brush forearms with a happy, kind, confident, intelligent, lovely man, whom I might convince to share in The Adventures which includes saying 'yes!' to this incredible thing called life.
I wish you the best in your love pursuits. Besos dulces.

I would describe myself as a little shy and introspective but what do a bunch of adjectives mean anyway? I'm not really certain what I'm looking for...soulmate, lover, friend perhaps?
