Date a woman from Oakland, United States. If you're like me, you like a simple and quiet lifestyle. I can also be spontaneous. You might find me out exploring new places or at home, watching a great movie. I'm warm, compassionate, sensual and intelligent, with laughter in my smile. I have an ongoing practice of spiritual and personal growth, and I'd like to meet someone who is interested in the same.

For me, a good relationship is a balance of:
--emotional support, physical affection, intellectual stimulation, and spiritual affirmation
--work and play
--time together and time apart

Here's a quick trip thru my world...
I look younger and am more physically energetic than most my age, I was in a loving marriage for 23 years so have a pretty positive outlook on relationships, I love the NPR program 'This American Life', agree with Kurt Vonnegut that "God damn it you've got to be kind.", my favorite moment is when the lights go down and the curtain goes up in the theater, but I also love that moment when you're camping and the morning sun peeks over the hills, sadly vanilla is my favorite ice cream but I'm willing to consider other flavors if you'll be gentle and patient with me, I like Jon Stewart and am a big Mad Men fan. I've been to the Black & White Ball and Burning Man--loved them both. I listen to all kinds of music, like sports, especially basketball (watching not playing), I hope to spend time the next several years traveling the world...hopefully with someone who's equally curious about everything life has to offer. I'm not a bit high maintenance, and am as comfortable in jeans as I am in an evening gown. If you're smart, funny, fit, kind and...a good kisser, hope you'll be in touch.
Date someone special from Arkansas, United States. Hi, I'm a retired elementary school teacher. Part of my retirement is spent caring for my two grandsons ages 3 1/2 and 11 mos. Other aspects include ballroom dancing, spending time with friends, completing household activities and hosting family gatherings. The studio where I take dance lessons at is a fulfilling dream of mine where I meet a lot of fun, happy, wonderful people, and learning to dance at the same time. Volunteering at the studio is a joy, as well as a fun learning experience, getting to understand and know what makes a successful dance studio. I am looking for someone who would share my passion for family and dancing. Alone time is also very important with my significant other. I enjoy quiet, cuddly time together such as watching a video together on the couch complete with popcorn and hot chocolate, or going to the movies, then dinner afterwards. I am a physically passionate and sensitive person, I like to hold hands and cuddle. I enjoy short trips, and sometimes spending time with friends. I am most grateful for my family, my health and that I am financially stable, owning my own home.

Date a soulmate from United States. While IРІР‚в„ўm a regular at my health club, I enjoy long walks along the Bay, in the hills, and through city neighborhoods. Enjoy Sudoku? I'm studying strategies so I can move up from 'tough' level to 'diabolical.' We could work on them together as a team, or perhaps you prefer other games or hobbies: IРІР‚в„ўm an enthusiastic learner.
I am a mother of four grown and independent children. I love singing songs and doing puzzles with my two and a half year old grandson. My kids are the best and we love being together.
I enjoy independent movies like The Help, that reveals the untold story of the struggles of black maids for dignity, and El Norte, about a brother and sister who are driven from their homeland and try to survive in America. My parents raised me with 7 siblings on a limited income in the lower east side of New York, so I have a lot of empathy for the less fortunate. Dinner and a movie – I’m happy with simple pleasures. Like to dance or see live music? That sounds great too. Like to travel? I’ve been to Morocco, the Anasazi ruins of the Southwest, and Vietnam. I like out-of-the-way places, I’m not a shopper but a wanderer, an explorer. Are you religious or politically active? I’m not religious, but honesty, loyalty and fairness are very important for me. I am proud to be financially and emotionally independent, but while I enjoy my own time, I miss the happiness that a companion brings. I’m shy, maybe a little cautious at first, so posting on this site is an adventure.
How about you?

I've carefully planned and saved for retirement because I want the freedom of going and living where ever is conducive to me and my future life mate.
