Date women from United States / Alabama / Concord, 51 year old

Date a soulmate from Alabama, United States. Hi There!
I am fun loving, easy going and thankful for all I have in my life. Two great kids, one in college and one a senior in high school. Love my job and enjoy the outdoors. Cycling is my passion but am willing to try pretty much anything as it expands my life and brings new things to do.
I love to laugh and think my glass is pretty much always full regardless of the situation, there's just too much to be grateful for in life.
I'd like to meet someone who loves the outdoors as well. Ideally someone who likes to road bike although I do have a mountain bike as well, just not as into it as the road bike. Just completed the 2012 Death Ride which was a huge accomplishment for me and has motivated me to try some bigger and better things.
I think if there is a connection, it should be taken a step at a time. Pretty much low key and getting to know each other with no pressure on either end. If it's right you know it without trying to make things happen.
My first date would be a mellow ride or just coffee is great too.
Wish you all the best of luck on this site and hope you at least meet new friends as we can never have too many!

Meet someone special from Alabama, United States. I love GOD and do attend a church every Sunday and realize that I am human so making mistakes is normal. So when I have made a bad choice in my life God has never let me go! I am looking for a man that feels the same way as I do and is willing to attend a church and believes in GOD also! He is secure in his finance and does like to go on vacations to have fun but is very responsible too.

Date a woman from Alabama, United States. I'm down-to-earth, authentic and honest, but fun-loving--and looking for the same. I relate to all kinds of people in all walks of life, but am seeking that special someone for loving connection. I like to go places and try new things, but am not a thrill seeker. I like slow exercise such as walking, hiking, or yoga. I love culture and the performing arts (theater, all kinds of music), and want someone to share these with. I hope to do more travel. I am intelligent and enjoy having stimulating conversations. I also have a childlike sense of wonder, and often make people laugh in a good way. I have a quirky sense of humor. Sometimes I laugh so hard I forget to breathe. I enjoy cooking, especially with a partner. Touch is vital--a hug, kiss, or more. Simple pleasures mean a lot to me.
Here are some qualities I'm passionate about:
I feel comfortable with myself yet constantly challenge myself to grow. I hope you also have a commitment to a process of self-awareness and personal growth.
You're not just "tolerant", but actually celebrate diversity, and are comfortable with or willing to learn about issues of social justice and equality. You enjoy being with diverse people and embrace progressive ideas.
You believe in science, but have an appreciation for and a sense of awe about the mysteries of the universe.
I'm a psychotherapist, both on staff at a non-profit mental health agency, and in private practice. I specialize in trauma and utilize a body/mind approach. I practice being very attuned and present. You find this intriguing. This is a third career for me and I am challenging myself to grow and learn more about it every day. I believe in the work I do, and its potential to transform the way people live. You respect and appreciate this. You bring passion and dedication to a relationship, but not drama. Balance in my personal life is essential.
You understand and value the importance of my relationship with my children. One just graduated from UCSD and is staying in San Diego for now. However, there's the possibility of moving back home, given the current economy. My younger child is heading to UCLA in Sept., majoring in theater. Likewise, if you're a parent, I value your relationship with your children. It's a big plus for me that a man has a good relationship with his children, and prioritizes them. I love kids.
You have a kind and compassionate heart, and are never rude or disrespectful. You get how privileged we are as Americans, and have an interest in giving back to the community.
You understand my financial limitations. I chose to slow my career to have time for my kids. Because of that, and life not working out as planned, I'm playing catch-up. I'm comfortable and own my own home, but at the moment, I have some, but not a lot, to spend on recreation. I manage my money well.
A final word because I might as well put it up front: Although I think I'm attractive, and other people tell me so, I am overweight, currently a size 16. I'm not huge, guys. I'm at least average looking (like most of you). I also typically do not wear makeup (do you?), don't get my nails done or get pedicures. I do know how to dress up and put on makeup, and enjoy doing so for the right occasion. The right guy will appreciate my investment in my own soul. I'm at the point of putting up a photo just so I can get my money back in six months, since so far, the men on match.com seem to be looking for something else.
I think my match is that one in a million person who can get beyond the superficial. He's not in denial about his age and the fact that all of our bodies will soon start falling apart in various ways. He's not punishing his body to the point of needing knee and hip replacements at age 55. He recognizes the willingness to eventually push a wheelchair if needed is more important than "slipping into a little black dress." He finds honesty sexy.

Meet a soulmate from Concord, United States. I am starting a new chapter in my life. Blest to be the mother of two teenagers(yikes) and very passionate about life in general. I was a stay at home mom for 15 years and now finishing up school to be a medical assistant. I was a special educator prior to marriage/divorce and it was a rewarding career. I am a kind, thoughtful adult woman with a terrific sense of humor. I enjoy people and helping others. I am excited to see what God has in store for me and staying in the moment as to not miss a thing.

Meet a woman from Concord, United States. I believe actions speak WAY louder than words...
With that being said I can only add that I try living a righteous life but with the knowledge that I'm only human and that I make mistakes. I respect peoples individuality and uniqueness and in turn I expect them to respect mine. And ideal match is someone with similar beliefs.

Date a soulmate from United States. I LOVE to laugh, have a slightly dry sense of humor and try not to take life or myself too seriously. I can honestly say I feel more comfortable "in my own skin" than ever before in my life and try to take good care of myself, stay in shape and up-to-date both physically and mentally. I’m a proud mother (my daughter is 13) and I am a one-man woman and feel a relationship is a journey you take with someone. So while the long-term goal might be a committed relationship, I’m content just to get to know each other, laugh a little and just learn to be best friends. I’m most attracted to tallish men with a sense of style and an active sense of humor – especially if he’s physically fit, self-assured and compassionate. I also enjoy
