Date women from United States / Arizona / Glendale, 52 year old - page 3

Date someone special from Glendale, United States. I'm a bit shy at first, but once I feel comfortable; watch out!! I am a fun loving, people oriented person looking to meet someone that's the same. I love my family and friends, and feel very blessed to have them in my life. I have learned that our life is short, we need to enjoy it while we're on this earth!!!
If there is one way to describe myself it would be "a devil's pitchfork with a halo hanging off of it." My friends would tell you that I'm a sweet, caring, considerate person that loves to laugh, have fun and goes with the flow of things. I have a smart sarcastic type of humor at times. I am pretty laid back, down to earth type of girl. I can dress up or down, stay home, watch a movie, or go out on the town. I like to read, and I'm starting to dabble into writing, especially like to write Haiku's. Lazy sunday mornings watching a Yankee game on TV is also one of my favorite things. I know I've forgotten alot of things about myself, but we can't tell it all, where would be the fun in learning about eachother?
My ideal match - hmmm, well, if we could be genies and have our ideal match appear before us; then none of us would be on here. But we aren't... We are all complex but here are a few things that are most important to me in a partner.
Someone that is honest, emotionally healthy, respectful to everyone, including himself, kind, even tempered, loving, and not afraid to show or receive affection in public. Someone that can keep a good balance of sharing time with me and having their own time. Looks fade, but a person's characteristics never change, they just get better with time.
Hint...If I've looked at your profile it more than likely means that the first lines caught my eye and I've read it.
Take Care...

Meet a woman from Glendale, United States. First, I have to admit I travel a lot on business and find myself in Boston, Ohio and Europe often. It makes the dating thing challenging but still worth it.
After much Match madness :) I can say I'm looking for a man who is comfortable confident enough in whom he is to truthfully represent himself. (Correct age, recent pictures, and words he lives by and believes in not just words he thinks others want to hear.) BTW...chemistry is crucial so if we connect I'm not one to engage in weeks of emailing and if ur interested I'll want to meet you face to face and see what happens! :) Profiles with no pics make me wonder so I often don't respond to them. Sorry! I know its been said before, but most Match dates say I'm more attractive in person then in my pics. Not sure how to take that but better than the opposite. :)
I want to LIVE(not sleepwalk through) life, explore try new things, stay on the move and share experiences with friends or a special someone that ignite excitement, laughter, n passion and make you wake each morning feeling alive and anticipating what comes next.I grew up in Ohio! :) Answered an ad that said "Share the ride to Ca" and left the day I graduated from college. It was an adventure and I've been here since. No Regrets!!
Most fulfilling life experience....raising 3 amazing children who are my number one priority. I was involved in everything in their lives and the PTA mom, room mom, and treasurer for soccer and dance. Now that they are grown, I'm on my own with free time for the first time in decades. :). Excited to begin a new adventure and to fill that free time with some companionship, excitement and less work. I'm very driven and a respected professional with a successful career but don't want my career to be my everything.
I love to be on the go! Go to the gym, on hikes, to the beach, to concerts or theatres, anywhere on week-end getaways (Vegas, Palm Springs, up the coast, the mountains, the beach, or.....) You don't have to ask WHERE is the perfect place to go on a date. The perfect date is defined by WHO you are with and can be anywhere...except maybe your ex's house. That may be awkward. I love to swim, fish, camp, volunteer for any good cause and do anything competitive. I competed in swimming (high school) and gymnastics(high school n college). It was awhile ago but I still have some tricks on the diving board n in the gym! :) Whatever the game, I will always win...ok maybe not always...sometimes I'll let you win.
I like to spend time with a man who is active, fit, fun, passionate exciting. One who has a good sense of humor, cares about others over self, is driven and successful in his career of choice, and of course enjoys intimacy and romance. :) I like someone who can respect tradition at times but who is a risk taker and bold enough to buck the social norms and break the rules once in awhile. I like to be around people and engage in activities that are mentally and physically challenging and stimulating. I know everyone says it but I'll join in n say I don't look or act my age. Love hanging with youthful men that can keep up with me.
Also, I'm an executive take charge women at work but really prefer a man take charge in a relationship. Love a man to be a man and lead the way.
That's the norm what am I looking for and now the romanticized what if?
Ultimately, what if we could find a special someone who could make every void and yearning in our lives whether spiritual, emotional, or physical disappear only to be replaced with only one yearning, the yearning for each other? The yearning for their touch, their love, their closeness. A touch of any kind (handholding, kissing, etc?) that reaches beneath the skin to senses deep
within. A love that is addictive, intoxicating, and unconditional. A closeness of body, mind and soul that leaves that one yearning, the yearning for them to return whenever they are

Date a soulmate from Glendale, United States. I'm a strait shooter, a go getter, and I expect the same with everyone who is in my life. I'm a great conversationalist, knowledgeable on many different levels and really appreciate intelligence. It's very important to me to find a gentleman, kind of old fashioned, who has family values. I can't stand cheap people and whiners. I believe humor is the spice of life and laughter is the best medicine.
