Date women from United States / Arkansas / Mountain View, 45 year old
Date someone special from Mountain View, United States.
I am a super positive person who chooses to get busy really living life! I don't just want to plant myself in front of the TV or do the same old predictable things all the time. I try to spend my time doing things that I really enjoy: nurturing friendships, traveling to visit friends, and being involved in church. In the past year, I have taken a hot air balloon ride, driven from Arkansas to Florida, taken a beach vacation, and learned a little bit more about horseback riding. I also enjoy camping, boating, listening to live music, and exploring, but those are much more fun with someone else.
I'm a strong Christian and IРІР‚в„ўm looking for a man who is, too. Ideally, I hope to meet someone who really has a relationship with Christ.
A few tidbits about me: I would choose a wooded cabin over a 5-star hotel; something grilled over a white tablecloth dinner, and a country music concert over shopping. In other words, IРІР‚в„ўm pretty simple and looking for the same. I think its important for a woman to always look her best, but I can get ready in less than half an hour; you wonРІР‚в„ўt spend a lot of time waiting on me; early to bed, early to rise; I love pets but my travel schedule doesnРІР‚в„ўt allow for it. I hope to have a dog and/or a cat again someday.
While I do love both kinds of music (country AND western…okay, a little Christian, too), I have zero interest in clubs and bars. I don’t think I’m a strong conversationalist and I prefer small groups of people to larger ones; small churches, too. I am most interested in wholesome, family-type activities: attending a hometown parade, decorating the house on holidays, watching a high school football game, holding hands on a porch swing.
I am very loyal and appreciate being able to speak and listen openly with my partner. My friends would tell you that IРІР‚в„ўm strong because IРІР‚в„ўm not afraid to be by myself and that I will speak my mind without the best of filters. I donРІР‚в„ўt really place a strong value on political correctness and I wonРІР‚в„ўt hesitate to call a spade a spade, although I try to be careful not to hurt people's feelings.
Although my profile says I'm a social drinker, I am actually a very light drinker (average one a month or less) and could live the rest of my life without alcohol. I don't mind at all if my partner drinks, but it should be kept within reasonable limits.
I enjoy most any live sporting event and although I donРІР‚в„ўt know the rules of any of them, I enjoy learning. I love being around water, hanging out with friends, cooking out, country music concerts, and camping and hiking when the weather is just right. I walk a couple of miles every day and thatРІР‚в„ўs a priority in my life.
I love to travel and my idea of a fun adventure would be to rent an RV and spend a few weeks heading west, just seeing where the road takes us. There is so much to discover in this world, and I want to see it all. IРІР‚в„ўm a very curious person and IРІР‚в„ўm not intimidated to ask questions so that I can better understand something. I have a childlike appreciation for even the smallest things in life, and you will often see me literally stopping to smell the roses, watch a butterfly, or inspect a leaf close up.
IРІР‚в„ўm not looking for someone who hasnРІР‚в„ўt made mistakes in life, just someone who has learned from them. If I had to choose an ideal type of partner, IРІР‚в„ўm looking for someone who enjoys a simple lifestyle: A country boy who can build something, fix stuff, make something grow and isnРІР‚в„ўt afraid to work or get dirty. IРІР‚в„ўm not looking for a man who makes a lot of money, but I do want someone who has a respectable job and can manage the money he does make. Cowboys, farmers, and ranchers get extra points!
Send a wink or an email! It's not a committment. ;)
I believe that I have represented myself as accurately as possible, and all pictures posted are less than three years old.
Meet a soulmate from Mountain View, United States. It's difficult to know what to say in this space. I am an independent and self-reliant woman who moved away from a large network of friends and family of origin on the East Coast for a high-tech future in Silicon Valley. California is a wonderful place to be. The weather is heavenly and I spend a good amount of time outdoors. I enjoy fresh fruit and vegetables every day. I love myself with a healthy diet and lifestyle. Balance is important but I tend to lean toward overdoses of work since I love what I do.
I write Android apps. I work for others as a contractor and have some of my own apps on the Google Play Market. I love what I do for a living and still find time to play.
I'm looking for the right guy at all the right times. He should be single, friendly, funny and ready for fun with me. Let's get acquainted.
Date a woman from Mountain View, United States. Save me from online dating. My goal: get off this site as quickly as possible. This is crazy stuff, but fun, too. Here's my rant: Do you really like "candlelight dinners and walks on the beach"? So does everyone else! Let's be real. What do you do today, everyday? I'm pretty sure you're not living this fantasy of beaches and candlelight dinners everyday. If your profile says you can wear a suit and go to the Opera one night, then be happy eating pizza in your sweats and a t-shirt the next night, then you BETTER have a suit that fits you, today, not when you were in high school. But really, do you even OWN a suit? We gotta be real! Here's real: I have a few more pounds on my bod than I prefer. I'm not an exercise nut, but they do know me at the gym. I'm not skinny or ripped (but I could be if you starved me). I'm curvy the way a woman is supposed to be. Can a woman wrap her arms around you and touch her hands? I would hope so. I would also hope that your baggage doesn't exceed the capacity of the cabin. I try to keep mine to a two bag limit. (we all have it, admit to it, it'll be less painful in the long run). Oh yeah, and I don't have kids... that I know of. I do volunteer work that involves teems. I love 'em. They're so cool!
After work, I prefer not to park my butt on the couch, watch TV and fall asleep. Actually, I don't own a TV (but my rmmt does). I think we should kill our TVs and enjoy the outdoors and our friends/family more often. I want to enjoy life with someone who is my Superman, the sta. I expect that we'll do things like talk about work, grocery shop, cook meals, work on projects (artys stuff and home projects), fuss with the cars/bikes we have in the garage, visit friends (sometimes without each other), make vacation plans and be a public menace! We could be PIC's (partners in crime). If youРІР‚в„ўre a homebody, youРІР‚в„ўre not my type. No. Really. You're not. I'd run you ragged before 8am. I'd like to know who you are today. Not who you were 10 years ago. What do you do when you get home? What makes you get up in the morning? Besides a job that helps keep a roof over your head and your Match subscription current ;-)
You should be young minded with a playful attitude but mature enough to hold down a job and pay your bills on time. If you're so young minded that your last GF told you to 'grow up', well, you just might want to do that before contacting me. There's no prize for being a putz. And as much as I like the saying, "If you can't find a good man, raise one." I really don't want to do *that* again.
For fun, we could play in a water fountain, stop the car to take pictures of random things, buy toys from the grocery store vending machines, shop at garage sales. Do you have a hobby other than drinking beer and 420. I'm not into 420. It just doesn't do it for me. Yes. I'd mind if you did it. So, don't. No smoking. Thanks. If you don't know what 420 means, you're probably too old for me.
Things I like to do: I like to snowboard, but haven't made it to the slopes in a few years. Shame on me. I enjoy the “Sunday Morning Ride” on my motorcycle. My favorite line is: "If only the passing lane had a passing lane". I like comedy, movies, music and the beach. If you use words like 'mellow' and 'stay at home' in your profile (and mean it), then we're probably not too compatible.
I have my dining priorities: sushi, burritos, steak, ice cream (think DQ or BR or FF or The Boardwalk). If you cook for me and it doesn't turn out well, I promise not to laugh. (OK, I lied. I'll laugh.)
I want to be with someone who makes me want to be a better me. One who inspires me and one I can inspire. You're probably looking for ways to be a better person. Change is hard. Be honest. Tell me who you are and what you do, today, not 10 years ago. And please have some current pictures in your profile! If you don't, I'll think you're hiding from your wife or you're hiding all that weight she made you gain.
Meet someone special from Arkansas, United States. Simply put, I'm a gentle natured girlie-girl with a heart of gold. Originally from the midwest, I just relocated to the Bay Area this spring after years in Los Angeles. I love it here, but its all new to me, so meeting new people and exploring the area is how I want to spend the summer!
I'm very passionate about animals, nature and the arts. I'm fiercely loyal and protective of things that I care about and will go to the ends of the earth for those I love. The friends I have kept around the longest have generally been those who have made me laugh the hardest. I hope that never changes.
I don't need nor want the attention of multiple men, just one really great one. I have a strong preference for smart, articulate, clean cut professional men that have their heads on straight. No bad boys in my past, present or future. I'm not searching for a Superhero who leaps from tall buildings/planes/mountain tops (so many of you!), but rather one with his feet planted firmly on the ground (figuratively speaking!). There is nothing more attractive than a man of integrity. Someone I could trust with my life.
I live a clean, healthy lifestyle and am a vegetarian, but don't expect you to be. I'm definitely looking for someone who knows what they want, and has the confidence to make things happen, or at least give it their best shot. Wishy-washy behavior is a serious buzz kill. I definitely prefer the company of gentlemen and I'm very traditional when it comes to relationships. Well, sort of...I don't cook, but I will bake you cookies!
I'm a professional Event Planner, and consider myself very lucky with the variety of projects I've worked on from international film festivals and sports championships to fundraisers benefiting causes I'm passionate about. Lots of stories to share.
I have a big fluffy Australian Shepherd who makes me laugh ten times a day. I bring him with me wherever I can because he won't have it any other way. I adore my three nephews, and my grandfather who just turned 95 and still drives! I love having children in my life, so I am hopeful and open to all possibilities.
I'm generally soft spoken, but very strong-willed, and I can breathe fire when someone or something I care about is wronged. Midwestern hospitality is deeply instilled in me...I love to play hostess and the simple things that make a house a home. I'm much more comfortable with words and the visual world than with numbers and data. I'm very artistic and creative, and think I'm best balanced (and most intrigued) by men who are tech/science/finance oriented. Having grown up the daughter of a surgeon, I understand the lifestyle and schedules of men with demanding careers and long hours, and know how important it is to have the support of your family. It's imperative to share core values in a relationship, but because we are (hopefully) always evolving, it's also important to be flexible and accommodate change as we all live and learn.
I believe in celebrating the differences between men and women, not blurring them. I might wear high heels to the beach or a random flower in my hair while hiking, and I trust that my female intuition will lead me in the right direction.
Date a soulmate from Arkansas, United States. PERSONALITY:
I'm outgoing and friendly. I love to laugh - and I laugh a lot. I am a good conversationalist and yet I'm very introspective.
Communication - both expressing my own thoughts and feelings as well as listening with a heart to understand the thoughts, feelings and perspectives of others - is very important to me.
Though, at times, I am passionate in the way I express some of my perspectives, those who know me well can attest that I am always willing to consider that my perspective may be inaccurate, and that I am far more interested in coming to a mutual understanding than in winning an argument!
Peace and harmony are tremendously important to me - especially in the context of close relationships and I have a great sense of determination that drives me to do my part in "working things out" and finding a "win-win solution" when difficulties arise. Thankfully, I've been blessed to enjoy MANY dear friendships which have endured the tests of time and for these relationships I am truly grateful.
INTERESTS:
I was born in the Bay Area - and I still love living here! Though I haven't traveled the world, I consider myself very blessed to live in such a diverse area where I can meet people from all over the world. I have friends from many different nations and immensely enjoy learning from them about their cultures, and sharing mine with them.
I also enjoy: Exploring ethnic restaurants. Laughing and talking with friends over a meal. BallroomSwingLatin Dancing. Playing board and card games with friends. Museums, touring "Historic Homes", symphonies, ballet, theatre, movies. Volleyball. Singing with others who either sing or play an instrument.
SPIRITUALITY:
God has been my constant companion for as long as I can remember. I began my relationship with Him at a very young age and have always been very conscious of His presence in my life and very much desirous of living in a way that pleases and honors Him.
One verse from the Bible that has long been of great significance in my life is:
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God."
This verse has been of particular significance to me because I have seen it in action. God has brought me great comfort in some of the darkest moments of my life and has subsequently added tremendous meaning to these experiences by allowing me to later come alongside of others in similar circumstances to partner with Him in bringing to them the same comfort I had earlier received from Him.
VOCATION:
I work for a church that puts a strong emphasis on living out faith by serving God in practical ways - namely by serving our fellow man. I love my job and I'm grateful to be able to say that I really do have a "dream job".
WHAT I'M HOPING TO FIND:
I think it would be wonderful to share life with someone who:
* Enjoys actively participating in good, long conversations, aimed at reaching a deeper understanding of a perspective or a topic
* Loves to laugh with me - and can laugh at himself
* Is warm and accepting - with an inclination to show respect to others (even when they don't act "respectable") simply because they are human beings
* Enjoys music (vocalists and instrumentalists get extra credit) ;)
* Has a heart to provide for the poor and champion the cause of the oppressed and is willing to invest time and resources in serving them
* Appreciates the wonderful nuances of a variety of cultures (especially the food!)
* And, who strives to align his values and life with what pleases God and serves His purposes and priorities
Meet a woman from Arkansas, United States. Warm, fun, funny, caring, loyal, social and easy to talk to are words that friends kindly use to describe me. I donРІР‚в„ўt sweat the small stuff and look for opportunities to laugh each day. IРІР‚в„ўm an optimist and a great listener. Hope you are the same.
IРІР‚в„ўm both an aspiring golfer and writer, but I wonРІР‚в„ўt be writing about my golf game anytime soon. I can talk football and will gladly watch sports on TV or go to a game. Cooking for and with others is something I really enjoy.
IРІР‚в„ўm fortunate to have done a lot of traveling. Still thereРІР‚в„ўs so much to see and do! Interested? I workout a few times a week. In the winter, my favorite activity is skiing. Some of my free time is spent volunteering with two non-profits whose causes I believe in.
I love kids and am told that IРІР‚в„ўm a terrific aunt. I come from a solid, caring family. My parents have celebrated their 50th anniversary, so IРІР‚в„ўve seen how itРІР‚в„ўs done. Like my family, my friends are a priority in my life.
I’m looking for a “glass half-full” sort of guy with a good sense of humor. He’s a gentleman at heart. Bonus points if he’s a romantic too! He's 5' 9" or taller. A kind man, he cares about the world around him. Friends and family are important to him. If he’s got kids, that’s terrific. If not, that’s ok too.
He likes to have fun, possesses an adventurous spirit like me, and is open to trying new things. Either playing or watching sports is a passion. He's a professional and although his weeks may be full, he finds time to workout. He has his interests and I have mine. Some overlap, but if they all donРІР‚в„ўt, thatРІР‚в„ўs alright.
He knows that trust and honesty are essential and that good communications is key, even if itРІР‚в„ўs not easy to do all the time. Am I describing you?
Date someone special from United States. Thanks for stopping by...I still believe in a "happily ever after" friendship, partnership, romance, love and marriage. My wonderful parents are still happily married close to 50 years!
I'll be upfront in that I'm not interested in wasting anybody's time. I'm not looking for a hook-up or a fling. I'm hoping to meet the right guy for a healthy, loving, balanced relationship...if you don't have a photo posted, there's no point so please don't bother winking or emailing.
YOU - The good guy next door ?
You're a honest, genuine man who is easy-going, comfortable with himself and has a great smile. You're a good, solid guy who knows how to treat a woman and chivalry is still alive. YouРІР‚в„ўre down-to-earth, a sincere gentleman, who's close to your family and friends. You try and find the positive in every situation and remain calm in a crisis. You want a partnership, best friend, loving relationship where we appreciate one another and understand how to compromise when needed. However, if you need to use your GPS or smart phone for directions, I won't hold that against you.. :-)
You share what's on your mind and go after what you want in life. It's so easy to write words or say things through email, however in the end actions speak louder than words and following through with what you say you're going to do carries much integrity. A true man of his word is difficult to come by these days.
You're romantic, silly and spontaneous, open-minded, flexible, appreciate good food, wine and travel! You have a good sense of humor and can make me laugh and can laugh at yourself and have a good time doing just about anything. You enjoy a quiet evening at home or going out and having dinner with friends, and exploring new countries. You enjoy doing just about anything..... :-)
ME.. here is goes..
Timing, chemistry, respect and good communication is everything. I have a good life, wonderful friends and family. Easy-going and fun when I'm with my friends and I like to keep them laughing, I can be serious when needed.... I believe in karma and it's important to be sincere, polite and courteous. My strength is my weakness.... I think of others before I think of myself. I'm independent and have my own interests, but nothing beats sharing those new great experiences with that special person! I love cooking, trying out new foods and places. I enjoy old and new movies, but not into horror movies, going to musicals and shows in SF and Vegas are always fun too! There is the homebody side of me that likes to sit in front of a nice fire, watch a DVD and have a glass of wine and relax....it's good to have balance. I do love traveling and exploring new places as that's always an adventure!
I don't like drama so I won't be dramatic or be part of any drama. I'm not into games, just board and card games. I enjoy doing home improvement projects that are a challenge and I'm probably one of Home Depot's best customers! P.S. My mom says I'm a catch and you probably don't want to disagree with her on this one.....
Meet a soulmate from United States. I am a really optimistic person. I don't just see the glass as half-full, I see it as overflowing. There's so much I'm grateful for: I have amazing friends, a supportive family, and flexible work doing something I really love. I'm most proud of my ability to appreciate and connect with a wide variety of people, to see the best in people and
situations, and to delight in the simple things in life: feeling the sun on my bare skin, kissing, being warm, the smell of stargazers when they bloom, saying hello to people I pass as I walk along the beach or through town, playing with children, petting other people's dogs, dancing, learning anything new. I enjoy nice things, although things don't tend to bring me joy in the way that experiences and people do.
I have a good sense of what matters most to me - in a relationship and in life. In a nutshell, I am here to play, learn and love! What matters to me in life is treating people kindly, growing continually, loving friends and family well and deeply, leaving the world better for having spent what I hope will be many years here, enjoying every
moment and having fun every day, and being generous and grateful.
Although I love my life, the truth is that for me, life's experiences are richer and more vibrant when they are shared. I want to travel and explore with you. I'll look forward to coming home to you and waking up with you. I'll enjoy cooking healthy food for both of us to enjoy. I'll want to learn about stuff that inspires you or that you feel passionate about, and tell you about the stuff that I find engaging. I am looking for a best friend, playmate, lover, and partner to share life's adventures with. I want to get married and make a life-long commitment to stay young together. If that involves having or adopting children, thatРІР‚в„ўd be fabulous! If that doesnРІР‚в„ўt happen, I know life will still be amazing! WhatРІР‚в„ўs most important to me is having the kind of relationship where we still want to hold each other's hand as we walk down the street after we've been together for forty years. The kind where we each know unequivocally that life is better - more fun and more tender - because we are in it together.
I am looking for someone who feels like home to me - someone with whom I can be completely myself without hesitation, and who finds it easy to be himself with me: someone who brings out the best in me and feels that I bring out the best in him; someone who is committed to honestopen communication and to working through whatever life throws our way (I know as well as anyone that sometimes life throws us curveballs!); someone who gets that relationships take nurturing and sees challenges as things to navigate through together in a way that will ultimately bring us closer.
Do you like listening to live music, spending time in nature, being barefoot, spending time with family and friends? Are you interested in exploring the world or even the neighborhood with someone you love? Do you treat people well, whether or not you have something to gain from it? Are you fit, athletic and adventurous? Do you like to have fun and find that you often have a smile on your face? Are you smart and the kind of person who finds or creates what he wants in life? Have you ever been told youРІР‚в„ўre a good listener and communicator? And very importantly, are you really physically affectionate? If so, there's a good chance we'll hit it off!

*All photos are within one year.
. I grew up in Europe and came to the US as an exchange student. Due to the great job opportunities in this area, I got stuck – probably not an unlikely story. I do enjoy intelligent conversations and exchange of differences in opinion. You won't have to always see eye to eye with me as long as there is thought behind a point of view.
In my free time, I like to stay active. This can be either by doing something physical (gym, playing golf, skiing,...) and staying fit and healthy or by doing something creative with my hands. I love to cook, bake and experiment with new dishes or putter around in my little backyard.
I like to laugh, be spontaneous and would be described as being lively and outgoing. I usually find a conversation starter with all types of people and am interested in what they have to say.
I am active on a number of philanthropic initiatives and enjoy helping out where needed. After all if we donРІР‚в„ўt pay it forward- who will take care of us?
I am looking for a kind, confident partner for a long term relationship to share stories and experiences with. Somebody open to a fused family which seems to be so much the case these days.

Somebody that can keep it real- hopefully makes you laugh and see the lighter side of things while we explore the path ahead.
. Born and raised in the Bay Area... Totally a California Girl. I feel most comfortable in, on or around water. I have not mastered all water sports but I am confident, sexy, fit, adventurous and definitely open to leaning new things. I would love to meet a man with similar interest.

I am looking for that special person to share my life with ~ to live happily ever after.
Could you be the one??
