Date men and women from United States / California / San Rafael, 56 year old

Date people from United States. I often think how awesome it would be if I could simply twinkle my nose (you remember Bewitched?) and find the woman of my dreams standing next to me holding hands. That special someone who loves to have fun and enjoys doing all the great and cool things life has to offer; who is smart in life; who is driven to be successful however defined; who loves the endorphin rush not only for the rush of nurturing her physical side but also, and equally as important, as an expression of mutual interests and desires. She knows that balance in life is all-important in maintaining one's sanity and she values taking time out to chill. She is balanced in the sense that she will enjoy connecting with my two daughters who are the true loves of my life and who have grown into the two most incredibly wise and beautiful young adults on the planet (not biased huh?!!?) and who truly keep things real and are a blast to be around. She knows how to be spontaneous and loves to sometimes just goof off. She is stimulating in conversation and thought and we feed off of each other's mental prowess to keep each other intellectually challenged, charged, and interested. We are young at heart and we know it is so important to keep Mr. and Ms. Time at bay and doing what we can to keep mentally and physically fit.....this is just part of our coding. We believe in, and respect, the need for each of us to have separate interests and allowing each other time to pursue those interests but always having in our hearts the security of knowing that we are together.....really really together and always looking forward to reconnecting again and always.The keys to a loving and forever-lasting relationship are communication, compromise and understanding. Did I mention communication? As well, the sharing of common interests, particularly the love of outdoors and being active both mentally and physically. I am a huge believer in two-way communication that wraps its arms around active listening and allows each other to be heard and reaches out for understanding. That's not to say we will always agree with each other (how boring is that!??!); rather that we hear and listen to each other, that we totally, totally, totally respect each other and each other's points of view, and that we are committed to at least understanding each other's points of view. If we have that between us, plus of course that thing called chemistry, it just has to be all good.

Meet men and women from United States. I'm enjoying my life and looking for a life partner who is intelligent, caring, gorgeous, sensual and fun. Someone I can share my time with and have some fun and adventure. I want the time to count, whether it be a quiet dinner, weekend by the ocean, going our for a play or movie, just a quiet walk at night or something on the wilder side. I have no interest in drama. I want someone who is mature, open minded, up for some fun and equally up to quality time. I have kids who are grown or nearly so and I many hobbies and good friends. I have fulfilled all my career goals and more, and will likley continue to work for many years (I enjoy what I do). My life is full and busy, but I have not yet found the one I am looking for. I am busy, healthy, average build and evidently have very nice eyes (so I am told). In terms of specifics that I enjoy, I tend to go for woman 5' to 5'5" and average or curvy (not overweight). I am a typical guy in being very visual/sensual, but have a very caring side as well and want a girl who can give the same back.
Having the right chemistry is a huge part of this, though it is very intangible. I hope to eventually find someone whose company I
enjoy, who makes me laugh (and visa-versa), with whom I really connect, can trust and enjoy. I want a woman who is bright, beautiful, passionate/sensual and fun to be with. I want to look forward to the time we share.
Here's some information I thought I would never write, but have learned it is actually very important. I you have a history of alcohol abuse (in AA or otherwise) or drug abuse, or have been married multiple times, please pass on me (sorry to have to state this, but it unfortunately needs to be said). One last thing, I am politically "middle of the road", have little interest in long heated discussions about politics and tend to attract to the same (I only react negatively to extreme views, left or right). Guess that's it :)

Date someone special from United States. What you are about to read may sound like everything most women say they want in a man. I'm not so sure that MOST women really want to be with a man like me. My "swagger" is more subtle and more grounded in my soul than most other men. You see, my strength comes from my feelings, emotions, and intuition... along with being easy going, smart (college educated), handsome (so say my friends), athletic and fit (as a way of life), a heart and spirit of someone 10-15 years younger, thoughtful and funny (corny and witty at times), kind (because it's the right thing to do for others), passionate about things that matter (like the planet, relationships, and social justice), and believe that the world is a much more beautiful and interesting place because of music, art, passion, and truth.
I'm looking for a woman who is strong and secure enough in herself to be my emotional equal. Rather than taking on the traditional role of being the one who "carries" the emotional essence of the relationship, I am seeking a woman who doesn't NEED to do that FOR me but WANTS to share that WITH me....a woman who wants me to know her deepest emotions and feelings, wants to have a passionate love affair with her best friend...a woman who will ache for me, a woman who isn't waiting for me to be the " knight in shining armor" in the relationship...a woman who wants a man who can listen to her hopes and dreams as well as her deepest desires... a woman who wants to do the same for her man...a woman who is seeking a loving, caring, and equal partnership...
For both of us, the key is chemistry...of the mind, soul, heart, and body.... I love and admire a woman who cares deeply for each of those things...because that's where everything else emanates from...the passion, the desire, the want, the hope, the dream, the laughter, the intimacy...the deep love for self and the other...
I am a seeking a woman who could have almost any man she desires...desiring a woman who knows that she will never settle for less than what she deserves...yearning for a woman who consciously knows who she is and what she wants without causing hurt to others...wanting a woman who will love passionately from the depths of her soul....a woman who will read this and choose to act rather than wait for me or any man to choose her...

Date people from San Rafael, United States. Not an ordinary girl!
About me and who I am looking for:
I am: Sassy. Sexy. Smart. Witty. Positive. Fun. That’s the short version, anyway! But, really, I’m a woman of curiosity, spirituality and passion—I give my all to everything I do. What else should you know about me? I am not your average girl. I often talk to strangers. I sing, dance and laugh loudly. I believe in giving back and help others in all those important little ways whenever I can. I possess a positive attitude and energy. And I’m always thinking outside the box. I have a great job that I do well. And lots of fun. It’s a great life, all told. There’s just one thing missing.
I’ve thought a lot about the kind of man I’d like to meet. I won’t deny I appreciate a stylish, successful man with a great smile. But I’m looking for a man of heart and personality. He is laid back yet motivated. He understands the importance of sincerity and communication. Sensual and affectionate, he will love me as deeply as I love him. He has a great sense of humor—and an intact sense of adventure, too. And if he’s got a nice tush? I may just be a goner.
No, IРІР‚в„ўm not your average girl. And IРІР‚в„ўm not looking for your average guy. But if you are funny, affectionate, secure and smart, IРІР‚в„ўd love to hear from you!
Pets:
I have two Bernese Mountain Dogs. I also have cats.
For Fun:
You can usually find me watching a movie, listening to live music, hiking, reading, rooting on my favorite sports teams, practicing yoga or Pilates, cooking, enjoying good conversation, visiting a museum or spending time with good people.
Favorite Hot Spots:
I love restaurants with clean, fresh food like Delrosa, Zuni Caf?, Umami Burgers and Delfina. And travel is a passion. IРІР‚в„ўve enjoyed exploring India, the Himalayas, the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, Canada and Europe.

Good food. Sports. Yoga and Pilates. Music. Spending time with friends and family. Laughter. R&B, blues, jazz, bluegrass and indie music—especially live. New adventures. Exploration. The Farmer’s Market. Giants baseball.

Date men and women from San Rafael, United States. I laugh easily and can always find things to be grateful for. I'm a creative thinker and love to learn, discuss thoughts and feelings, play with words and write. I am very comfortable in a library or book store, creating art,
browsing garage sales and thrift stores, finding treasures, gardening and creating artful gardens.

Meet someone special from San Rafael, United States. Life is definitely meant to be shared and so I am giving myself an opportunity to reach out to a larger pool via Match.com. I am fun loving, (sometimes plain goofy) and I don't take life too seriously most of the time. I learn from my mistakes and move on and I try to focus on the solution rather than the problem. I focus on the positive and I am able to reframe any situation to fit a positive outlook. I like to travel, cook healthy/ organic meals, instigate get togethers where folks can be relaxed and have a good time. I like my job (must days) and my vacation times! Some of my favorite things to do are having fun times with friends, cooking, going for walks, hiking, movies, dancing, traveling and wondering around in SF.
I'd like to find a youthful and mature, fun loving man who is financially stable, is a good communicator, generous and passionate about life. I have to like his sense of humor and his outlook on life. I am looking for a long term relationship where we can grow old together and share true appreciation for love, passion and companionship. I am open minded and so I'd like to be with an open minded man who prefers to forgo criticism, judgement and blame in place of appreciation, understanding and supportive loving energy towards me and people in general. Life is too short to focus on negativity and to drink cheap tasting wine!
In regards to fitness, I like to do some sort of exercise most days: yoga x2/ week (or more); cardio machines and weight lifting, walking, hiking and some bicycling. I like being active and planing fun things to do and I am open to exploring new places and having new adventures with a loved one. I have my down days when I cook, relax and even have some couch potato days and would very much enjoy sharing it all with a partner. I care about my body, my looks and my health (physical and mental) so I would like to meet a man who also cares about his body and where his thoughts dwell. I have practiced meditation and consider myself a mindful person and in that note, I'm not looking for perfection but for a man that practices being mindful and loving. I like to nurture my inner beauty and I practice seeing the inner beauty in others.
I have a good, stable job, I like me career and I'm a happy person in general so I am not looking for a man to make me happy but to love and be loved and have each other's back. I am loyal, once you are my friend, we are friends forever. I consider myself thoughtful and have good solid values; I avoid drama and favor understanding and good communication. I am affectionate and enjoy daily, loving touch and hugs so a long distance relationship would not be my choice.
I am a hopeful romantic and eternally optimistic so I know there is a good partner for me out there and of course, me for him.....I am hoping I'll meet a man who can radiate simple, unaffected humanity; a man who can connect, be vulnerable and allow himself to be seen: Intimacy= Into-me-you see......

Date a woman from California, United States. I am a playful, intuitive, adventurous woman who is perpetually curious and willing to try new things. I enjoy traveling and experiencing new places and people. I am also a contented homebody, indulging in the simple pleasures. Enjoying the beauty and natural rhythms of nature lights me up.... the beaches, mountains, wooded trails and tropical places.
I value authenticity, kindness, and heart-centered connections with friends (and new friends in the making). It is my intention to be a creator of beauty by sharing my gifts and talents with others, and assisting them in expressing their essential beauty into the world. Leaving a path of joy, resilience, creativity and love is my intended footprint.
I respect men who are open, authentic, relaxed, balanced, organized and enjoys being in nature.
I'm attracted to men who are kind, honest, direct communicators, who value family, friends and who puts me at ease.

I think men who are curious, present, care about community, family the environment and living sustainably are sexy.

Meet people from California, United States. I want to thank all of the wonderful guys out there who have written to me. It has been fun dating on Match.com. and I have had some really nice and brief (but not lasting) relationships. I have not been great about answering e-mails due to my extremely busy schedule lately. If you are reading this and you have written to me and gotten no response, please accept my apology. I am, however, going off Match.com shortly as I am moving back to Europe. I wish you all the very best in your search for love.
