Date women from United States / Arizona / Chandler, 48 year old

Date a soulmate from Arizona, United States. So.... where does one go to meet single men? Most of the answers I got from my friends were..."I met my boyfriend at work", or "I met mine online". Since I am a teacher and work with mostly women, it's kind of tough to date my coworkers. Hence, here I am giving this online thing a shot.
Here's a little bit about me. I am a former California girl who moved to Arizona 22 years ago. I am a single mom with 2 amazing kids, who are my main priority in life. They are 12 and 10 years old and they keep me young. I graduated from ASU with a BA in Early Childhood Education, and I enjoy teaching kids. I have been teaching for the past 18 years. I am a true Sparky fan, and enjoy going to ASU football games and other sporting events. I also enjoy movies, plays, traveling, restaurants, and any outdoor activities. I workout when I can, and I lead a healthy lifestyle. I am not a high drama girl. Life's to short.
Last December recieved my Master's degree from NAU (Go Lumberjacks!) . I am self motivated and secure with myself. I have a positive outlook on life and believe everything happens for a reason. My friends tell me I am quick witted with a sarcastic flare. I think it's the Irish in me.
This is what I'm looking for: A guy who is kindhearted, smart, honest, respectful, and loves kids and dogs. He must have a good sense of humor and willing to go on new adventures. I like a guy who is physically active and leads a healthly lifestyle. Please have a current picture, and not one 5 years old. He must be employed and secure with himself, but not conceited. I know it's a tall order to fill, but if you think you have potential, please feel free to email me.

Date a woman from Arizona, United States. I like coming home to my daughter and pets, dogs and birds, they are always happy to see me, (well the dogs and birds are anyways). I work hard I would like my man to work hard too. I enjoy going away boating, seeing new things, experiencing new adventures nothing risky but meeting new people traveling, camping. I like being able to get out of the city and go to a place where you can see for miles and miles. I enjoy music and I love comedy. I would like a guy that does not mind traveling, loves his family, has a great sence of humor, eats healthy and exercises. Likes to enjoy what life has to offer. A positive person like myself.

Meet a soulmate from Chandler, United States. I am a divorced mom of two teens. They spend half of their time with their dad, so I have full weeks with no kid commitments. I like that they're older now and I don't have to be with them every minute. I need my "me time".
I'm a college educated professional who has been self-employed for the last 16 years. I like the flexibility it brings me and the boss is pretty awesome!
I keep physically fit and watch what I eat. I am very social and love to laugh. I'm pretty low maintenance. Into experiences rather than possessions. Had all that and gave it away.
I have an immature sense of humor (think South Park, Tosh.0, and Dane Cook) and love music (especially alternative, 80's and 70's). Favorite bands are R.E.M., Counting Crows, Travis, John Mayer, DMB, Damien Rice, and Coldplay. (hmm, these all have male lead singers...) I can "name that tune" and am known to have a song for every occasion. There's always a song in my head and everything I hear reminds me of another song. It drives my kids crazy.
I am honest, very hardworking, and have never been called lazy. I find that many people I deal with don't have the integrity that I do. I find that incredibly frustrating to work with those kind of people.
I can be very affectionate, passionate and giving to the right man. Love being interrupted just for a stolen kiss or hug. Want to hold hands in public. I'm also a "what you see is what you get" type. I don't like to play games, so I shoot from the hip. I'm the same person when you meet me as I am a year later.
I'm looking for a man who is:
- NOT religious or conservative.
- Under 50
- In shape or thin. Seriously.
-ready to be in a committed relationship, but doesn't want marriage. Been there done that. No need to go down that path again...unless it gets me good health insurance. ;-)
-has children, living with them or not. You'll understand mine better if you have some of your own.
-not afraid to have fun and possibly even make a fool of himself.
-is young at heart and doesn't necessarily feel his age
-stays up past 10 pm. I'm a night owl and want my partner to be too.
-isn't always a gentleman. ;-) Need to be able to let down your guard and let your primal self out to play once in awhile. Purrrrrr....

Meet someone special from United States. I'm a down to earth person who likes to keep a positive attitude. I have good sense of humor and love a good laugh, usually at myself!
While I love my job and work long hours during the week, I would like to meet a special someone to spend time with during my “off” time. It’s hard to specify “what kind of guy I’m looking for” because I don’t have a particular type. I am somewhat on the independent side (sometimes to a fault, I’ve been told) and secure with who I am. While I love spending time with the person I care about, I do not feel threatened if he needs his own “guy” time. I like time to myself or with my friends as well. I’m attracted to a man who is laid back, laughs easily, and is secure with who he is. He must be open minded and genuinely like people. I like a man who feels most comfortable in t-shirts and old jeans, but who is also comfortable dressing up if the occasion calls for it.
I have 2 daughters who are 17 and 24 years old. The older one is in college and the younger one is a senior in high school this year. They are my favorite people to hang out with and do “girl” things with even though they are tomboys at heart!
I enjoy going out to listen to live music, seeing a movie or concert, or out to dinner with family or friends. IРІР‚в„ўm just as happy staying in and renting a movie sometimes. I also enjoy going to see a Suns or DiamondbackРІР‚в„ўs game. I like weekend trips to San Diego and Vegas or even local trips around Arizona to Sedona, Jerome, and Prescott. Some of my favorite places are Maui, Florida Keys, and the Bahamas. I love to go boating, snorkeling, and paragliding whenever I get the chance.
I believe the foundation for a relationship starts with friendship first. A good relationship to me means helping each other feel grounded and balanced. ItРІР‚в„ўs connecting with someone, not only emotionally and physically but spiritually as well. ItРІР‚в„ўs building each other up and encouraging each other to be the best person they can be. I donРІР‚в„ўt believe itРІР‚в„ўs about controlling one another but sometimes allowing the other to have some control if itРІР‚в„ўs offered and not taken without permission. ItРІР‚в„ўs also being able to maintain a sense of humor and the ability to laugh at ourselves and each other when we make mistakes and do silly things.

Date a woman from United States. I am a single mom of 2. One daughter lives with me part time and the other daughter lives in Lake Tahoe with her family. I am also a grandma! I enjoy hanging out with my family and friends. I like going to the movies, concerts, play cards, walks in the park or just being at home. I decided a while back that I'm gonna enjoy life the best I can and not take anyone or anything for granted. I enjoy cooking, singing. I am looking for my best friend, for those moments that take my breath away.

. I came to Phoenix in the mid 90s after attending graduate school in the east coast in the late 80's.
I live a very active life style with continuous learning, acquiring new skills and participating in competitive sports.
Well traveled around the world and beach resorts;
Fun loving, younger looking; All my photos were taken this year.

. I am beautiful and passionate about all areas of my life. I am outgoing but yet very shy in ways. I am someone that is always happy. I wake up happy and I go to bed happy. I am also very full of mischief and fun. You never know what I am up to. I am Irish so I am stubborn and tend to be a bit of a prankster. I am a woman that will make you laugh. I am told I have an accent so men seem to like that too.
I believe there are two types of women in this world. The for now and the for always. I am the later. You can find the for now everywhere but the for always are hard to come by. I am recently divorced so I am new to this single life and dating. I don't play games, I am not into drama, and I am not looking for a one night stand. I am very honest and very loyal too.
I am grateful for my friends and family and they are what is important to me in my life. I live a conservative lifestyle and I am not what u would call materialistic. I appreciate what I have and I am thankful for what God has given me. I am someone that is very passive and tend to sooth others around me.
I am looking for a man that first off is an American. I am an American and was born one. Someone that is funny, charming, Educated, ambitious, makes a good living, romantic at heart, christian, and not type A personality. I want to be with someone that is happy on the inside not searching for it.
I love fitness and nutrition and everything associated with it. I love to travel, movies, water sports, boating, fishing, concerts, music, dancing, and many other things. I have a wide variety of interests. I am looking for someone with a variety also. I am a romantic by heart and I am very sentimental. I am someone that is also happy and content with the simple things in life.
Are You the man that I am looking for? Can You make me laugh and smile? If you think You might be send me a message. :-)

. Ideally I want to find the man I will spend the rest of my life with. To love and be loved! If you are not interested in a committed long term relationship, then I am not the woman for you because that is exactly what I want. With that said.....
Now about me...most would say I am very outgoing...definitely not shy but I am quite at times. (I do like to observe...people watching can be a bit entertaining!) I am very fun-loving, happy and I truly enjoy helping others and making them smile!! Ideally, I would love to meet a man and share the rest of our lives together!! But initially I'd just like to find a great guy that wants to hang out...get to know each other...have some fun!...see if there's any chemistry. (I do believe in that 'chemistry' thing!) If it's there, great! Let nature take its course! I love thunderstorms, playing in the rain, ball games (football, baseball), tennis, sand volley ball, BOATING! Harley's, home projects (yes, some I do myself! I think I was a carpenter in previous life.), weekend trips (travel in general), learning about other cultures, happy hour, good food, cooking for others (and cooking together can be very fun...and sexy!), great wine, interesting conversation, LIVE MUSIC( my taste varies here but not much of a fan of rap or hardcore heavy metal), love animals!, theme parks, (amusement parks are always a blast!) theater (musicals, plays etc...and no-you don't have to go with me!). Halloween is one of my favorite holidays! And yes, I always dress in costume, whether it's to go to work, to a party or just to hand out candy! I love to shoot pool too. (And there will be no pouting when I beat you in a game or two.) I do prefer a house full of family/friends having a BBQ/pool party versus going out to clubs. Actually I can't remember the last time I was at a club.
I don't feel I am a high maintenance woman. I can get ready to go out in about 30 minutes (unless I've been working out or it's a formal event...then I need a bit more time!). Whether I'm in jeans and a t-shirt or an evening gown...I am comfortable in my own skin. I am not a jealous person and will not put up with someone that is (it's caused by the lack of trust and if you don't have trust, what's the point?) My life is drama-free and I like it that way.
As for the type of men I'm attracted to...I like outgoing, confident men. Please note that this is very different from obnoxious and arrogant!! At the least he must be SINGLE, emotionally available, kind, caring, open and honest, a bit of a romantic, plays well with others and understands the Golden Rule and does his best to live by it! Physically I like tall men (6ft ), fit/active (not into the teddy bear type but a few extra LB's is not a problem)...don't much care about how much hair you have or don't have (I do like bald!) A man that takes care of himself...dresses nice, smells nice....puts forth a little extra effort when he's going to spend time with his lady! I also want to meet someone that already has a life! You have a happy, healthy life with family and friends that you want to share with your friends! That is what I have and I want to share it with my man. Allthough the majority of my DNA family is in Iowa, I have a great group of friends here that are my AZ family! (You do know that friends are family you choose!)
I am a homeowner; I've worked in same industry for over 20 yrs-with current employer 8 yrs. I'm a very responsible person but I love to have fun, meet new people and try new things. I'd love to find someone that wants to share their life with ONE fabulous woman (me!)! Note: Must enjoy high fun factor on a regular basis-be it out with friends or one on one time with me!) Now...if I pique your interests, then PLEASE...say hi!
I believe the world would be a better place if people would just work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt and dance like nobodyРІР‚в„ўs watching!! ;o)
