Date single man from Walnut Creek, United States. Lately I've been feeling like I'm in my 20's again with the wisdom of a 56 year old. I was the parent at home with two great children who are now in their 20’s and making their way in life, and now it's my turn! I’m happy to try new things and I really enjoy talking and getting to know new people. I love silliness and believe that shared laughter is a great measure of friendship.
Music has been a strong part of my life both in my work and hobbies. I've had a fulfilling career as a violin maker and restorer, and continue to love the work. I've played music for years and love singing in a chorus that performs folk songs from around the world. I also love to cook and delight when people roll their eyes with pleasure over something yummy.
I want to find someone who likes being outdoors as much as I do, and who in addition to sharing some of my interests also has her own interests and activities that inspire her. I’ve enjoyed some traveling overseas, and I’d love to have a companion to share the thrill of exploring. Mostly, I want to find someone who is comfortable in her own skin, and loves the warmth and kindness of a happy relationship.
Meet men and women from Walnut Creek, United States. Kids are well settled and away at college, work is good, life is good in general. there is so much fun to be had. So many places to see and things to do but I don't want to do all of it by myself. I'm looking for a companion that can grow with me and keep me challenged and on my toes. Somebody that is curious and wants to know a little about lots of things. Adventurous and pushing the envelope a little, to try things we normally wouldn't think of doing. Somebody happy and very comfortable with themselves, where they are in life, and someone who knows what they want in the second part of life. I really click with people that are very smart and curious.
Date a soulmate from Walnut Creek, United States. Hi! Thanks for stopping by. My friends consider me a nice and intelligent person with a good sense of humor. I belong to a gym and I have actually been to it a few times. My passions include playing guitar, live music, movies, dining out, travel, working on my house or just hanging out relaxing with good company. I'm looking for an attractive down to earth, fun loving and intelligent lady who knows how to let her hair down. Sense of humor a must. A girl whose health in mind and spirit is important to her. Someone who is happy and still believes in love and shares some of the same interests and goals that I do.
Meet people from Walnut Creek, United States. I would much rather stay in the background and out of the limelight, so writing about myself in a public forum is total anathema to me.
I am embarking on a new journey in life and want to find someone for friendship, companionship and more. Born in America, raised and educated in England (St John's College, Cambridge) and eventually, in a round about way ended up living and working in the San Francisco Bay Area. Lately, a really strong urge to somehow reconnect with my Japanese heritage has led me try to learn Japanese with somewhat limited success. When I Skype my parents in London I try to speak only Japanese but it is difficult. I enjoy watching Japanese dramas (subtitles required) and sometime anime.
I am quiet, especially around new people, so it takes me a while to loosen up and emerge from my shell. My favorite pastimes usually, but not always, involve the outdoors and nature in some way. I especially love rock climbing (usually in a gym) and hiking. I like to explore places and take lots of pictures to capture the moment. It doesn't matter whether it is a park, a museum, a textured wall, dew on a spider web - anything, anyone and anywhere that inspires a sense of wonder gives me great pleasure.
My lifestyle is simple and casual so I am a fish out of water where it comes to formal gatherings, fancy restaurants, bars, clubs, brand name goods, luxury cars etc. I have no interest in superficial trappings of a materialistic lifestyle.
Date someone special from Walnut Creek, United States. I am very energetic and enjoy the outdoors. Also, enjoy being around people and would like to meet a new best friend who enjoys the same things I do so we can enjoy life together. When I was young I enjoyed watching "I Love Lucy", so sometimes I can be silly like she was. I enjoy holding hands, kissing and cuddling. I like being spontaneous and experience new adventures. I would love to share all the wonderful things in life with someone and make them special memories. I enjoy traveling whenever I can. I am easy going and when things go bad I just look at it like a bump in the road, move onward and chalk it up as another life experience. I am close to my family and enjoy getting together with them. I like to keep myself busy, watering the plants on my deck to reorganizing my garage when Im not traveling or doing an outdoor activity like golf.
I would like to meet someone who is sincere and enjoys a few of the activities I enjoy so I have a partner to do them with. I want someone that wants to get to know the real me and when I need their support sometimes they will be there for me and I want to do the same for that person. I want someone who can or like to be spontaneous and not have such a strict agenda. I want someone I can share my thoughts and feelings and get positive feed bad, whether its good or bad.

Date people from California, United States. My passion is for the Lord. I continually love to learn more about Him, to pray to and be guided by Him, and to serve Him through the church. I especially enjoy teaching children and youth about the Lord and helping them grow in the faith. I enjoy staying fit and healthy because it’s fun, it feels good, and it allows me to do things I could not otherwise do. I enjoy learning about history, mostly American and European, and traveling to those places where I can see, hear, touch, and learn more about people. I love movies (historical epic romance, romantic comedy, children’s movies), plays, Christian concerts; music, (Christian rock, Pop, and Classical). I would love to be with someone who I could engage in long conversations with about God and life – growing to know each other more intimately with each every word we share. I would love to travel with a man to exciting places (mostly Europe). I used to have a secret desire to dance all night long with the man of my dreams (but even a few hours would be truly awesome)! I want someone who I can share my life with; someone who cares about who I am; someone to do every day things with; someone to talk and plan things with, someone to sit at home and cuddle with – someone very special.
Meet a woman from California, United States. I'm a person who doesn't put on airs. My biggest pleasures comes from family and friends. I am independent and have a fulfilling career in teaching and scientific research. I'm looking for someone who I can connect with romantically and intellectually, an honest person with integrity. I am drawn to funny, warm people. A deep thinker is attractive.. I'm a serious film fanatic and Giants fan; if you're a Dodger fan, I have my doubts.
Date a soulmate from California, United States. Chemistry is certainly essential, but I believe the core of the man, his heart and soul, are of the utmost importance. I am a sensitive, passionate, vibrant woman who believes the best is yet to come. I look at my life experiences in a positive way as I see them as the foundation for who I am today. I've been known to do some "out-of-character" things such as learn to fly small planes, ride motorcycles and jump out of a perfectly good airplane (tandem jump, of course). Although I enjoyed them all, I'm not likely to repeat them anytime soon. I don't golf, but I'm more than willing to give it a try.Through the years, friends describe me as devoted, intelligent, articulate, witty,understanding, and compassionate. I have lived in this area with my daughter for over two decades. I enjoy creating a peaceful, welcoming atmoshpere in my home. I am very fond of good French Roast coffee, and enjoy an occasional cabernet with dinner. I take my dog to the nearby dog park often to watch the dogs play and talk with fellow animal-lovers-they tend to be a great group. I like small, cozy restaurants, (especially the one's the "locals" go to!) and road trips exploring all that California has to offer. Yosemite (God's Country) and anything along 395 have captured my heart. The literally breathtaking beauty of Alaska, or Big Sur (love Nepenthe), the sensuous warmth of Maui.... I am most comfortable wearing jeans, but do enjoy being able to dress 'for the occasion'. I am a flexible, sociable, engaging woman who seeks a man who wants to reciprocate in-kind. Life is a precious gift, and SO much better when shared by kindred spirits. Kindly send a note if what I have written resonates with you. I've learned that true interest is reflected best in even a few lines. Full lives lead well leave little time to devote to discerning the "meaning" of a wink. Your time is appreciated-and so is your interest!... Denise

Date men and women from United States. I am passionate about life and discovering new things. I appreciate all aspects of living, and I am socially and environmentally conscious. I maintain a balanced lifestyle. I am very close to my two daughters, family and friends. I am committed to a challenging and rewarding career, and I enjoy where I live and working in my yard. I am a sensitive, warm, young at heart, adventurous in spirit, and intelligent woman with a good sense of humor and a lot of vitality (modest as well!). I value mutual respect, honesty and trust. I am comfortable with who I am, and I am attracted to people who can stimulate my mind and are eager to share new experiences.
I was born in France and graduated from a Parisian university.
I am looking for an accomplished, creative, open-minded, thoughtful, affectionate, romantic, and loving man who is genuine and fun. Where is this special person who will appreciate an independent woman, and who will enjoy--among other things-- travel, walks in nature, arts, movies, fine dining, the simplicity of everyday life, and sharing tender moments?
I am looking forward to meeting you!
PS:Please write, no wink or Instant messages . Thank you!.
Meet people from United States. I'm definitely one of the "glass half full" sort of people (but I do prefer at least 3/4 full!) ... usually pretty easy-going with a rather quirky sense of humor ("a Fish Named Wanda"). And I'm a grandma now and loving it! There's an amazing little 9 month old Gertie baby in my life. What a joy. :-) I have a great job that I love and I always make time to enjoy the many OTHER important things in my life -- singing, (occasional gigs in the chorus of two local opera companies) browsing nurseries, camping, campfires, swimming, attending concerts (of ALL kinds - blues / folk / bluegrass / world / classical -- Freight & Salvage / Ashkenaz type music), playing flute, having friends over, doing the NY Times crossword puzzle (in ink of course); and am fairly competitive (maybe a bit compulsive?) at online scrabble ... And I totally overuse the exclamation mark!!
Would love to meet a genuine, warm-hearted, intelligent, playful guy - 48ish - 60ish. Someone who loves the arts and music of all types; feels an occasional overwhelming need to get outdoors and breathe fresh air (I love camping!); is self-confident but soft-spoken and gentle. Someone not obsessed with money/material things and leaning politically to the left is probably an easier match. And a healthy libido is appreciated. Big bonus points if you sing baritone or play cello!! (swoon). Race is unimportant. (Ohmygod - This is a total "shopping list" - Isn't it?!). Been divorced over 20 yrs now, and I'm so ready to pour my whole self into a mutually supportive, loving, joyful relationship. Would love to hear from you.
