Date men and women from United States / California / Santa Barbara, 49 year old

Date men and women from California, United States. I am easy going, smart, funny, honest, respectful, someone who has values and can appreciate the little things in life. I like being outdoors, going to see plays, having an old fashioned picnic lunch, walking on the beach, listening to live music. Looking for my life partner to share life's pleasures with. I am not into drama or games...just want someone I can count on. Someone to have long conversations with..cuddle, laugh, someone I feel comfortable being with.

Meet single man from California, United States. Ok, so first I'd like to say thanks for making it this far, I know how it is... Second, I'd like to apologize in advance for my unabashed writing style. I just want to provide you with the most accurate depiction of who I am and what I'm looking for.
Who I am: I guess the best way to answer this would be by siting what my friends would say about me rather then how I see myself. They'd say I'm funny, athletic, compassionate, respectful, Humble, friendly but a bit of a loner (I choose my friends wisely), genuinely nice, selfless, fair, tenacious, punctual, hard working, loyal and vary open minded. Those are the good things. As for the bad things, I can have a hard time maintaining focus (total ADD), My car usually smells like dog (I have an 11 year old blind Bulldog I just adopted from the rescue). I'm honest, sometimes too honest. Sometimes I think too much, and I can be a bit of a germ-a-phobe... Weird, but only in certain situations, like at the gym. I'll wash my hands 4x during one visit, yet, I have no problem kissing someone I'm attracted to.....Weird...
Who I am looking for: I have recently come to terms with the fact that I'm not available for any type of serious relationship. This does not mean I don't WANNA be in a serious relationship, ultimately that would be ideal, but I have a lot on my plate right now and it wouldn't be fair to whoever I was involved with. So I just thought I'd get that out'a the way.... So, I'm looking for someone who's funny, in shape, articulate, open minded, experienced in life, HAPPY, respectful, humble and independent. Since I can't say I'm looking for a "relationship", and since my goal isn't to just "hook-up", I find myself in this funky place in between.... I'd like to meet someone that would like to get together whenever we both have some free time, she'd be my mischievously hilarious partner in crime and we'd go from there. Yeah, I hear you, you're saying "friends with benefits" and/or "Booty call", but that's not my intention. The fact is, I like women, and I'm super comfortable around them, of course unless I'm attracted to them, then I start to stutter and sweat, and.... It's all down hill from there... Whatever the case, I enjoy the company of funny attractive women, so that's what I'm looking for. As a pragmatist, I realize that "funny" and "attractive" are subjective, so don't be offended if I don't find you one or the other, or both, it's nothing personal, the right guy is out there somewhere.
Some Blurbs about me:
- I work to live not live to work.
- Rather then having a lot of "things" I'd have a lot of "Experiences". "Things" depreciate while "memories" appreciate.
- I will change "the roll" before their is only one "serving" left. :-) (I hope you know what I'm talking about) Plus,I ALWAYS leave the seat AND the lid down. It's just good bathroom etiquette.
- I've been a surfer all my life and admittedly have made some seemingly poor choices based on the surf.
- Kids love me. I have been told it's a result of my "boyish" demeanor, although I AM an adult.
- I listen to most types of music with the exception of Country and Opera.
- I prefer to give than receive. Selfless feels better to me then selfish.
- I have respect and compassion for the Aged. I can only hope for the same later in life.
- I am totally in touch with my feelings and emotions and have a no problem communicating them.
- I'm a morning person and as such I have a lot of morning energy.
- If I ever got rich I'd buy bulk socks and give them to homeless people on the weekends.
- I prefer cooking a nice meal with my girl to going out to clubs. They simply bore me..
- I'm a foodie and as such I'm a really good cook.
- I choose to see life in a optimistically, positive, lighthearted way. What a GAS!!!

Meet a soulmate from United States. Well let's see what springs to mind... I am adventurous, athletic, well educated, and accountable. I am kind, charitable, gracious, elegant, rugged, and playful – and humble, just ask me. I have very good manors and carry myself with a quiet sophistication that comes from self confidence that has been earned… and how. But just underneath the polished exterior lies a playful outdoorsy gal.
I work in Product Development for Aerospace power generation, but have lots of flex time and ability to work remotely. I am by no means chained to a desk - thank goodness.
Life is challenging enough so I look for simpler things to fill my free time. I enjoy reading of all sorts. I have an insatiable curiosity and I am often awed by the miracle of the natural world. I just finished Age of Wonders, and I highly recommend it. I love movies - anything from serious to silly as long as it has a good story. I would attend just about every UCSB Arts Lectures event, but I need someone to drag along with me.
I play tennis and run and hike (sierra club) and go to the gym (spin, swim and yoga at coac) and walk my dog (Wilson), and sometimes I get on my mountain bike (specialized) and ride the fire roads, but not that often. I enjoy name dropping.
I have two beautiful, smart, funny and very independent daughters; they are the light of my life – a blessing and a privilege and a short drive to the nut house. They are both in college and doing very well thank you.
I'm a California girl and my hometown is Manhattan Beach. I lived briefly in Utah to ski and attend college (in that order). My home has been Ventura and Santa Barbara for many years. I love this area but I am open to living elsewhere, even abroad. IРІР‚в„ўve itchy feet. However, Santa Barbara will always be my home.
Enough about me, let's talk about you. I enjoy a man with a good dose of common sense, and uncommon sense, someone that takes life seriously and can laugh at its absurdities. I would like to find a man that is goodhearted, good natured and a little devilish. Whatdoyasay… Let’s make it easy to laugh, easy to be, easy to love. The best is yet to come.

Date people from United States. I was not planning to do online dating, but one late and uninteresting evening, I found myself scrolling through the faces on Match. The headline read that there were over 600 single men in Santa Barbara and all within my age group. I thought: I only want one good man, and those are pretty fantastic odds, so here I am.
I am almost a year out of a five year long relationship and in a few months my only child will be flying the nest, leaving me with a new chapter to create in my life. I imagine I have about 30 to 40 years left and these first 49 years have flown by, so I want to make this next 40 deliberately fabulous.
I have always been a serial monogamist; I have had a long string of 4-5 year relationships but do not think I have met my soul mate yet. Don't get me wrong, I have been in relationship with some wonderful men, and they all taught me so much, I would not be me if not for them. I have a longing to find a man who is truly a suitable match for me.
My friends and family are a high priority: I know my life would suck without them. I do believe we are tribal creatures and I enjoy having friends around, parties and planning events. I make sure my loved ones all know how grateful I am to have them in my life. I am very social and into the community.
I have a Women's clothing line and am a Holistic Health Coach. I am writing a book about how to have a healthy lifestyle and a whole foods cookbook.
Yes, I love to cook!
I have a lot of energy and like to work out every day. Currently I am into hot yoga, bike riding and dance. I am open to new activities.
I don't mind if my man is not into dance or yoga, as long as he is fine with me doing them. I am very loyal and hold clear boundaries.
Honestly I did not think marriage was something I wanted up until now. I do want to live this second half of my life in a healthy, thriving, partnership, and if it is incredible, I would like to get married.
I have done a lot of traveling and would like to do more. I am independent, but I think I work best in partnership. I like men and know that a man can bring a lot of fun and adventure into my life, IРІР‚в„ўm missing that. I also like knowing that I have a strong man who has my back. I enjoy romance, being playful and sharing all that happens. Honesty is essential for a growing relationship, even if it is not pretty. It is important that we take care of ourselves but enjoy sharing with one another, as opposed to leaning on one another.
What I appreciate in a man is that he has a strong understanding of himself. Believes that life is to be enjoyed and can roll with the punches. That he truly wants a partner, one Woman and knows how to appreciate and love. I'm not perfect and am not looking for the perfect man, just perfect for me. I believe it is important in life to take on challenges and strive to do better. I do tend to like men who are grounded and on the mellow side.
I wish you luck in your search for love, may you find more than you could have imagined.
Deb
P.S.
I don't respond to photo-less winkers or men hiding behind hats and sunglasses. I believe we are all here taking a risk, a leap of faith so if you want to meet me, step into the light. :)

Meet someone special from United States. I am on hiatus from a demanding job and recently moved to Santa Barbara.I just keep asking friends" to pinch me", because this city is unbelievably gorgeous and there are so many amazing opportunities here.
I would enjoy meeting someone of similar interests and exploring some of these activities.. I can be pretty goofy and love to laugh , so sense of humor, quick wit and easy laugh are important.
Strong believer in education, even if it's self taught. Love reading, learning and discovering new things.
Hope I can find someone that likes to move. I really enjoy running, cycling, hiking, dancing, etc

Date a woman from Santa Barbara, United States. I like to look at life as it comes. One day at a time but not without focus. I am an open book. Feel free to ask me anything. I am looking for a man that is willing to just share his life with a smile. I have enough work as it is in my life, don't want this to be complicated too. Life is a series of choices based on previous choices. Where will our choices lead us next? I am ready to find a partner that I can feel comfortable with and connected to. Playing like children and discovering life again, together. Someone who is grateful, kind and expresses unashamed joy.
You know nice girls might finish last, but I would rather be who I am than to deceive others. It has happened to me so often, men present themselves as something they aren't. You won't get that from me.

Meet men and women from Santa Barbara, United States. At this stage of my life most of the people I meet have an interesting tale to tell and I'm sure I'm no different. That's what makes us so damn interesting. I've chosen to see the glass as half full. I believe that the right attitude can be a very attractive quality.
I love the work that I do . I go to the office every day with a smile on my face because I know its always unpredictable and I work with great people.
My kids are my greatest joy.Teenage girls can be your best friend or harshest critic, often both at the same time, but I was a teenage girl once too so I guess this is payback time. And at least I have my delightful little boy who always loves his mama.
I'd like to meet someone to go to movies and dinner with or someone to sit and talk with over a glass of wine or a coffee. Good conversation is another very attractive quality.
I love theater and music. I love to sing and be silly. I've travelled a bit but there are so many places I've yet to see so travel is definitely in my future. I have a wicked, often inappropriate, sense of humor. When I'm hanging out with my friends there's a lot of laughter.
I'm Canadian. That means a lot to me. I love hockey but hate the winter. California fits me just right.
