Date women from United States / California / Santa Cruz - page 7

Date a woman from United States. Let's see...in a nutshell, I'm super down to earth, witty, and a bit of a nature freak. The things that make me happy are the ocean, backpacking the great outdoors, yoga, being with people who are genuine, laughter, cooking, gardening, and my spiritual practice. I love adventure - exploring different cultures - new terrain - being spontaneous. I also have a need for quiet moments and meaningful conversation.
My goals in life? Self-awareness and love - trying to hate less and love more - be grateful for all things - see the best in others. Which I believe are life long endeavors. I tend to think and feel deeply - ponder life - look beneath the surface of things. At the same time I am light, playful, and try not to take things too seriously.
Looking to share my life with someone who is genuine, warmhearted, adventurous like me, enjoys a good laugh, has depth, and values spirituality. I truly love companionship and sharing my life with another - simple, sweet moments together, that sense of connection without saying much, being silly and playful. Above all, I need it to flow....and feel right.

Meet a woman from Santa Cruz, United States. You love what you do for a living and you're very good at it, but you also like to relax, smell the roses, breathe, appreciate. You're more of an intellectual than a jock, but you are in shape. You are funny, easy, cool. You have a great relationship with your friends and family, and are happy in your life and want a partner, just as I do. You have a positive outlook on life and treat others as you would like to be treated.
I am country over city, simple life and luxuries over materialism (but I do love a nice resort), a long walk or easy bike ride over extreme sports, warm weather over cold, good book over crowded concert (although I love a good outdoor show), classic country over pop, cats over dogs (although I do love certain dogs I have met), oak trees and open space to looming redwoods, trivial pursuit over monopoly, floating on a raft on a lake over wakeboarding (although I can drive the boat if I need to), playing liars dice at home over Vegas, children I can have good conversation with over babies, simple good food over fancy or fast, shopping local over any mall (though I'm really not a shopper), smiley faces over LOL.
I realize I am set in some ways but doing a very good job at trying new things. I'm growing and learning and working on being the best person I can be daily, as I hope we all are. What I don't think will change is: I'm not a sports fan (but I can do a sharks game once in a while), I don't talk politics or world problems (I like to help solve little problems here in our small part of the world, you have to start somewhere), and I don't at all care for asian food. I do love sushi, so don't write me off completely! And Vegas? It is SO not me but if you love it and want to try to make me love it I'll take a shot. Heck, maybe with the right guy I love everything, who knows? I'd love to travel to Europe, especially Ireland, Italy, France, all of the good countrysides...
I can offer letters of recommendation from my ex's and guys I have dated, I'm still good friends with most of them, the others I've just lost touch with. I'm sure you'd rather find out for yourself, but I thought you might like to know ahead of time that I am perfectly sane, a good person, loyal and trustworthy.
I'm looking for someone I'd still like to hold hands with when we are 85. I know sappy romantic movies aren't real, but it could happen.
Thanks for reading, if you think you're a match please send me an email. I totally get how hard it is to reach out and I appreciate it. I'd love to see a clear picture of your face without sunglasses, not because I am shallow but I can read a lot in the eyes. If you saw me see your profile it means I haven't blocked you and I am open :)

Date a soulmate from Santa Cruz, United States. I am happy with myself, but I think life is meant for two. Its certainly more fun that way :) I am pretty low maintenance and I can be ready to go in 15 minutes AND still look good. I have never been materialistic or made demands for lavish gifts. If I enjoy someone's company, I'll usually go along with just about anything (within reaon). I'd even come work in your garden instead of my own if we're having fun together. For me, its all about finding the person who enjoys my company as much as I enjoy his. I actually do enjoy physical labor (crazy I know). I see it as getting things done and working out at the same time. I have a great sense of humor, and family and friends are very important to me. A man who only has eyes for me and can make me laugh are important qualities! Some of the basics: I enjoy travel, camping by a lake or by the ocean, gardening, coffee, cooking, wine tasting, Bill Maher, music, my dog, my bike, Zumba, and BBQ'ing or celebrating special occassions with with friends and family. I am looking for someone special to spend my time with. My approach is to just have fun meeting new people and hope to find chemistry somewhere along the way. I think everyone has something to offer even if the chemistry isnt there. That being said, it should always be fun to meet someone new. :)

Meet someone special from United States. I remember when I was little, I used to go to bed at night and wonder who my husband would be. I thought there was only one, like it was all arranged ahead of time long before we were born. I would have given anything to just have a peek at him. I wondered if he was wondering about me too. Okay, so fast forward a few years...and I think I've accepted the fact that maybe it's not all predetermined in some master plan.
About me....I'm not one of those women who is desperately trying to latch on to a guy. Nope. I run fast, spin tight, dream big and live life full throttle. The right guy would be the perfect addition. So, you say, who is the right guy? He's confident, independent, funny, well traveled, down to earth, educated and cultured. Oh, and he thinks I'm the cat's meow :)
Most of what I love involves international travel. I designed my career around it, so I'm really looking for someone who has traveled around the world and has a global perspective. If you're a world traveler, you get it. I love photography, and all of my favorite shots are from my trips.
So that's it in a nutshell. Kind of a quick and dirty nutshell, but it's a nutshell.
Cheers!

Love ya!

Meet a woman from California, United States. I have a youthful spirit, seek out joy, and have passion and enthusiasm for life, even in simple things.
I value the countless people that have shared my path because so many people have influenced my life in such profound ways. I'm definitely a people-person, but I also love quiet nights at home, curled up on the couch.
Sure, there are things I hope for in a guy...my best friend...someone who can take charge, but will still let me be me...wants and/or has children...can be affectionate...is confident...can address issues at hand respectfully...likes/loves his job, but is not married to it. As far as my perfect date, well, that's up for discussion. Romance isnРІР‚в„ўt so much a location or kind of activity as it is that certain sweetness that envelops two people. It can be silly, spontaneous and unexpected or it can be thoughtful and well planned.
I've been a volunteer youth leader in my church for years and I'm in the choir. Youth group has been one of the best things for me as I get to spend with some truly awesome kids and choir it's a fun way to make church a more fulfilling experience.
NOTE: Because I can be shy at first, I just don't quite know what to with a wink...it would be great if you could drop me a line. If you take the time to email me, I will always take the time to reply. I'm willing to move for a match.

Date a woman from United States. Someone to have fun and live life with is my eventual goal.
Make friends along the way is a great part of life.
I enjoy surfing mountain biking I like yoga and hiking. I can't imagine not staying in shape. I enjoy other people who feel the same way.
Travel to surf spots old and new. Try new foods, sports and adventures . Be home bodies too.
Enjoy time with friends and family. Be supportive and give each other space too.
I love the city and the country .
I'm aways up for a good adventure too.

. Love to dance and be active. I do ballroom Latin dance. Culture, the outdoors, and good food are important aspects of my life. Family and friends are too. Health and fitness are essential. I am a vegetarian, but believe everyone should eat what makes oneself happy.
Have one college daughter(far away), and one 9yr old daughter....same father in case you are wondering...people always ask
Looking for: that is open-ended...must enjoy dancing for sure, be active with healthy lifestyle, also enjoy conversation that can be light or intellectual, flexible, spontanious
eous at times, honest, willing to smile laugh a lot

. I like dark chocolate, my red cowboy boots and power tools. I need a man who's smarter than I am. I never wear panties during the day but do at night (backwards, I know but an unbreakable habit now) I would choose Italy over France anyday. I try to be a good soldier in the sexual revolution. I love the smell of magic markers and hate deodorant soap (not deodorant, just the soap) I actually graduated from college in four years. I think anarchy is rational but impossible. I could probably beat anyone at Scrabble. IРІР‚в„ўm pretty sure Van Morrison wrote Brown-Eyed Girl for me (kidding) I think people who eat out of the bins at the market should have their fingers cut off (kidding again) I like swimming in really cold lakes. I once drove home from San Francisco completely naked. Red wine and good hair conditioner are pretty much the things I canРІР‚в„ўt live without. Not that IРІР‚в„ўm an alcoholic- my only addictions are beach glass and Altoids (yeah, the curiously strong peppermint) Coffee is the most important thing in my mornings. IРІР‚в„ўm a really good cook, I always exceed the speed limit (which earned me a letter from the DMV- really!) and rarely come to a complete stop. I would say kindness is my most compelling trait, my friends would say loyalty. IРІР‚в„ўve worn the same perfume for 23 years.
Looking for a man to connect with- one who knows when to lead - yes, I will follow- and when not to. The kind of connection that doesn't require too many words- just a look across the room at a party that says "let's get outta here" One who will sing along with the radio out loud, who needs to be outdoors as much as I do, who has his own life but wants to be part of mine.

. Hi there;
I am Marita, and I am looking for that special one who makes me want to be the best I can be.
Not because I need you to make my life good, because I have a very good life, but because I really want you in my life. I've been alone a long time now, devoting my time to my children. They are grown ups now, and moved out. I would love to share my time together with my soul mate.
You know who you are and you are thankful for being who you are today. You are happy, optimistic and positive. And you know, like me, that honesty, openness, trust and faithfulness are the No. 1 priority for a healthy, solid relationship. You know that money provides a safe life, and that wealth and happiness are not the same thing. Happiness is created inside ourselves.
I hope you share my passion for travel; Greece and Egypt are two of my favorite places to travel. Greece for its beautiful scenery, crystal clear water and warm-hearted people. And Egypt for its ancient history and great snorkeling opportunities. It's like diving in a giant aquarium with fish of all shapes and all colors of the rainbow! I love traveling, and would love to explore so much more!
Who I am;
I grew up on the west coast in Norway. With its fjords and steep mountains, glaciers and narrow winding roads, it is absolutely beautiful! I currently am living in Santa Cruz and just love it here as well.
My friends know me as a good and loyal person. I am caring, happy and positive, I'm thoughtful and serious, I am affectionate, passionate and romantic. I am definitely a woman! But, although I am a woman, I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. I like working in the garden. I also enjoy decorating my home, and I handle painting myself.
I was raised the good old fashioned way by my parents, who spend their whole life together until my dad died. And I say it even though I have two wonderful boys, and never been married. I believe in marriage! I am both modern and old fashioned, when it comes to relationships, I am old fashioned. I like to take it slow, become good friends first. I am loyal to my man; I want him to know that he can always trust me.
I love walking along the sea or in the woods, like when it's quiet and I can hear the birds sing. I love being outdoors. Love the summer, not the Norwegian winter just as much.
I surround myself with good and positive people, and although I am a Christian, I have great friends who are not Christians, what's important is to respect each other. I go to church because I like and need it. The man I seek is not necessarily Christian, but it would be nice if you are spiritual. I do not talk much about my faith; it's more the person I am.
I have a big and warm heart, with a lot of love to give. I'm a yes-person, and I am better in giving than receiving. I like that too of course, but can be a bit shy then. I am physically, like touching, good tender kisses and warm hugs.
I love to laugh, and is almost always in a good mood. Sometimes I'm too spontaneous, and I speak before I think. That`s when you will laugh at me because I say something funny (or stupid) and that's just fine, I can laugh at myself.
My dream scenario would be to stay most of the year here in California, and travel to Norway at the time it's warm over there. Get the best of both worlds! Over there I have my own house with lovely views across the lake and the mountains in the west.
I love making good food, traditional Norwegian food and cuisine from around the world. I like to invite my friends to dinner, and love that good conversation around the table. I hope you share my interest in good food, maybe we can cook together over a glass of wine?
The important thing is that we are enjoying each other's company, no matter what we do.
