Date a soulmate from United States. Who am I looking for? I am looking for companionship and enjoyment, a partner for the next half of my life.
I am kind, fun, compassionate, intelligent. I am more of an introvert than an extrovert but can hold my own in social situations. I love watching people, hanging out in the background and observing. I find people to be of the most curious sort and love to laugh at myself, equally.
I strive for simplicity in my personal life; transparency and honesty are attributes that are important to me and would be important to you as well. I've surrounded myself with people that I love and I am happy and grateful to be me.
In my free time I like to get outdoors and exercise, hike, bike, work in the yard. I have a teenage daughter who will be entering her last year of high school and we have been busy this past year focusing on her future.
On the professional front I have been fortunate to be given opportunities to be successful. I am very detail oriented and have found that I'm quite good at creating order out of chaos. I am a believer in work/life balance and have managed to integrate it into my life quite nicely (note having kids helps set one's priorities).
I am looking for someone who is kind, fun to hang out with, has a great sense of humor, and likes to get up, get out and do things. I want to learn from and be challenged by the person I am with. I am looking for someone who would like an equal partner in his life, and is ready to make a personal relationship a priority. I am seeking a man who brings honesty, integrity, wit and intelligence to the table. Someone with a sense of direction of how they want their life to go. It is important that he is grateful for the simple things that life gives us every day. A guy who knows what it means to pay it forward.
There is much more to me of course and if interested in finding out more I would love to hear from you.
~Life is a journey.
Meet a woman from Lafayette, United States. Would love to meet someone who enjoys keeping fit, going out for "foodie" dinners--not necessarily expensive ones--and who enjoys skiing and college football, also not necessarily in that order. Live rock, classic blues, Toby Keith, and some R&
B is always on the agenda. A good conversationalist, news junkie, politically savvy, and humorous guy would be a plus. Actually, it's a must in an Italian family where nothing is sacred and all bets are off (unless you're the winner). Fun--it's always fun!
Date someone special from Lafayette, United States. Loving, caring and respectful is where I begin to describe myself. I'm an extremely passionate and compassionate person. You will find me totally up-front about my life, my expectations, my feelings. With me there are no hidden agendas. I'm a very independent, confident and decisive person. My life is based on honesty and integrity. You would find me to be full of energy and life. I love being spontaneous, learning new things and keeping a relationship exciting. I'm definitely a one man woman and desire a fulfilling, communicative and loving relationship. I love to dance, watch sports live and on TV, love movies, enjoy dining out, beaches, wilderness, concerts. I pride myself on being a good and decent person, and have raised 2 wonderful children as a single parent. I've called Micronesia and Australia my home and enjoyed working in and learning about both cultures. My personal growth and development have been a strong focus... I've got a great attitude about life and love and have so much to give...The man for me is: communicative, loving, honest, caring, considerate, kind, respectful, family oriented, passionate and romantic, no addictions, gentle yet macho. Finding a man who is willing to spend the time getting to know one another, developing a deep friendship and completely fulfilling relationship. I like a take-charge guy who doesn't always have to be in control. I'm not looking for a casual sex-thing so if that's your expectation, please pass on me. If you're still interested and think you can handle a woman who clearly knows what she wants, drop me a line--enjoy the experience and good luck in finding that special woman.
Meet a soulmate from United States. Just moved back to the east bay after 4 fun years living in the city. Now I feel I have the best of both worlds: I can enjoy leafy Lafayette with nice warm summers and hop on BART to go to my parttime job in the city. I'm semi-retired after 30 years of corporate marketing (doing consumer research and loving it), and really enjoy my new lifestyle.
I have a relaxed, fairly positive, outlook on life, with just enough cynicism and pragmatism to keep me out of trouble. I like to be proactive in life, but I enjoy unexpected surprises along the way, too. I have two wonderful sons (ages 23 and 26) who are on their own now. I like to hike, dance, listen to music, read, go out to dinner, and engage in lively conversations with new acquaintances or old friends. I like to try new things and meet new people who are intelligent, mature but goofy, and have a sense of humor about themselves. I like spending time with people who are open-minded and accepting of others' beliefs and values, even if they don't match my own.
I'm not necessarily looking for a soul mate--I think everyone has a different idea of what that means anyway. I don't have a list of must-haves, but I know what I like when I see it. I feel like this is the time of life for exploring options.. If you agree, would love to hear from you.
Date someone special from Alabama, United States. Psychologically aware, spiritually-centered, intelligent, articulate, happy woman... Genuine, with an open mind and an ever-more-open heart... Strong and also tender... Intense at times, playful and mischievous at other times.
I am passionate about living with integrity, depth, generosity, and kindness.
I am inspired by these words from Dr. King: "Love is not the answer. Love is the assignment."
I know that happiness does not come from always getting more and supposedly "better" stuff.
I've been teaching teenagers for more than 30 years. Like them, mostly... Recently retired from 11 years of teaching at juvenile hall, am working part-time as a tutor and SAT-Prep teacher... Have most Fridays off, a delightful thing.
When I'm not working, I'm dancing NIA or Zumba, reading, writing, spending time with family and friends, starting a container garden at my new home, exploring new places and ideas, and interested in other adventures as well. I enjoy hiking, making music listening to music (I love to sing and am part of a women's choir), theater, museums, day trips, road trips... Sometimes I take classes to improve my Spanish or learn more about NVC... I'm a long-time member of a women's circle and have recently begun participating in the Waking Down in Mutuality community, which offers an approach to spiritual awakening, embodied consciousness, and deep interpersonal relationships.
The spiritual dimension of life is very important to me - although that's a misleading statement, since everything in life is spiritual, whether we see it that way or not. Underneath the stories, our lives are actually about growing and deepening and unfolding into who we truly are... and connecting profoundly to something greater than our individual selves. I'm best partnered with a man who shares this orientation, though our journeys may look different on the outside. There are many paths up the mountain.
I'd love to share lots of things with my partner, from the deeply serious to the playful and fun... and also I know that *what* we do together matters much less than *how* we do it. Even doing chores together can be fun, if there's sweetness and laughter, playful teasing, or singing while we work.
My youngest child has gone off to college (UCLA)... My nest is empty - and I am free to fly. Care to join me?
Meet a soulmate from United States. These quotes inspire me..."Luck is not a plan, Hope is not a stratgey, and Fear is not an option", James Camerson. Eleanor Roosevelt said, " You must do the thing you think you cannot do". So here I am... Hi!
I'm am blessed with a great family, friends and good health. I have a great sense of humor, love laughter and life!
I curently live in Phoenix, work out of Los Angeles and plan on moving back to California next year. Northern or Southern I haven't decided.....the world is my oyster. I'm very resilient so I know I will blossom wherever I next plant myself!
Of course there is so much more I should write about myself, but perhaps you will be interested enough to ask?
I will tell you ...I don't do drama, understand the world does not revolve around me, I am sometimes late, but not for work! I am grateful for what I have and thank-you for taking the time to read this.
Date someone special from Lafayette, United States. I'm in a great place in life. Because I'm blessed with health, energy, and good family genes, I enjoy physical activities to stay healthy. Almost everyday I'm either fast walking, biking, hiking, or golfing. When traveling, I like to be active and curious. I'm not one for hours-long road trips.
I enjoy a balance in my life. I keep myself busy socially with my friends. I enjoy going to concerts. No operas. Some days I enjoy quiet activities like reading, cooking, or movie watching.
I have two fantastic children. I love spending time with them. Their youthful exuberance increases my sense of fun and adventure.
I'm looking for someone to enjoy life and to have fun together. He's a morning person and looks forward to a new start each day. He's social, enjoying his friends and meeting new people. He knows that honest communication is the core to good relations. He desires a mutually caring and loving relationship with a partner. His interests and activities do not need to match mine. A match in values, a healthy lifestyle, and a physical interest is important. I'll respond to an email, not a wink. Photos were taken summer of 2011.
. I love to laugh and really enjoy banter with people that I know well. My family is the center of my life and I see them often. I love the outdoors and play a lot of tennis, walk with my dogs or hike. I have a small garden and grow excellent tomatoes. I enjoy most types of movies, cooking new recipes, good wine, sitting around a firepit chatting (with the good wine). I belong to two bookclubs which forces me to read books that I would not normally choose. Sunday mornings I like to ride my bike to the local farmers market, buy a coffee and stroll around choosing my vegetables for the week. I really enjoy watching college basketball! I try to travel locally and internationally as often as possible. Friends are important and I am lucky to have many.
. What am I looking for? Your strong arms – to open stuck jars and wrap around me. A curious mind - to bounce ideas off of and dream up adventures to share. An open heart - to take a risk and make some room for a new love. A warm laugh - to laugh at my stories and make me laugh too. I don’t need to be rescued, I need a man to share the ride because there is so much to enjoy.
My co-workers and friends would say I am smart, creative, and fun. Men have told me I’m vivacious, sensuous and playful – and a great kisser. Number one for me is passion - having real passion for something in your life: your work, your charity...something. I have passion for my family, my work, my industry, food and the arts - a lot of things - and I want to be with someone who has that kind of energy! The ability to truly communicate is high on my list along with a healthy sense of humor and a healthy sense of self.
My job involves creating experiences for people and it is what I love to do in my personal life, too. I love discovering new places and things to do or just creating a great evening at home. I'm comfortable in any situation and hope to find a partner who loves to jump in and try new things.
I’m not your blonde if you are “separated” but not divorced, if you are very recently divorced and still complaining about the experience, if you are ultra conservative or if you are really just looking for a "playmate". But send me a note if you are looking for a sassy partner to play with and stay with - if the chemistry is there.
. Smart and Sassy
I am an educated and successful woman who is compassionate, considerate with a quick wit and a love for laughter.
I prefer being casual, but like nice restaurants and attending the theater; so, I always have my “little black dress” ready at a moment’s notice.
I enjoy being outdoors, love the water and a sunny beach. I swim regularly, like to walk and have just started golf lessons.
My interests are varied and I am open to trying new activities. I love music, especially jazz and have recently taken up playing the piano. I have a passion for travel, but never the opportunity to pursue it. Hoping that will change as I now have more free time.
My daughter is 21, attends college on the east coast and I cherish the time we spend together. She is almost successfully launched and I recognize that these opportunities will become fewer and far between.
My hope is to meet a man who is warm, witty, intelligent and articulate. Someone who enjoys laughing and wants to share good times together, whether itРІР‚в„ўs going out to dinner, a museum or some other mutually shared interest. It would also be nice to just curl up together at home and watch movies or read books. Extra points if you have an interest in traveling. If you are out there, please get in touch.
