Date women from United States / Arkansas / Oakland, 56 year old

Date someone special from Oakland, United States. I am writing a memorable love story and am looking for an incredible male character who is not afraid to love, is available to love, who is good at loving and who wants to be loved in return...
Chapter One-
"Once upon a time", there was a tall redhead who lives in her urban retreat which is very cozy, comfy and man-friendly (no chintz!). There are lots of candles burning, a fireplace fire blazing, great jazz playing softly and you just feel at home as you walk in. She cuts a striking figure, but is warm, engaging, down to earth and has close ties to her family and large, devoted circle of close friends. Everyone loves to come to her loft, share a gourmet meal, put their feet up on her oversized ottoman, engage in stimulating conversation and truly relax.
Chapter Two-
You (?) knock on the door and she greets you with a memorable kiss, touches your hand and tells you how much she has missed you. You walk to her kitchen where she pours you an Alexander Vallery Pinot Noir and you both toast your good fortune in finding eachother. She loves to laugh as you recount funny events that occured in your day. You have missed her and thought about her often during the day as she is a terrific listener, really gets what you tell her and offers intelligent responses. One of her favorite songs begins to play, "At Last" by Etta James and she grabs your hand to dance before you sit down for dinner...you both sway to Etta's phrase, "At last, my love has come along. My lonely days are over and life is like a song." Their dinner gets a bit cold but they both do not notice, not wanting to end their embrace.
Chapter Three-
After dinner you are both savoring the warm homemade apple crisp with Hagen Daz vanilla ice cream and you remember the wickedly funny story she told you over dinner and you laugh again. You pause and wonder why she is still single since she is such an intriguing, captivating and vibrant woman. You know from previous conversations that she is serious about finding her true love. You hope that it is you. You are not a player, are monogamous in your relationships so you treat her with respect, honor and honesty as you offer your open heart. You both tip your last glass before you push back your chairs and you wrap your arms around her and it just feels right. You hope it feels the same for her.
Chapter Four- ?
(Please, NO WINKS, let's save the winks for over dinner, just between the two of us!) If interested, send me an email...would love to hear from you. Please do not respond to my profile if you are married or not being truthful about your age as this deception is not a positive way to begin a relationship. Also, please no Tea Party-ers, I believe in marriage for all who love each other and a woman's right to choose etc. If your politics are conservative, I am not your woman!

Meet a soulmate from Oakland, United States. I believe that rejection can be divine protection at work. I am a Native San Franciscan. Some would call me quirky, and perhaps sometimes too analytical. My priorities right now are sustaining financial stability, serenity and happiness, maintaining physical and mental/spiritual health, travel and seeking a career change.
Current personal goals/dreams: learn how to scuba dive, sky dive, better financial management, career change, preferably a virtual job involving my laptop and lots of travel.
My Relationship DNA: I work hard at them. Open to unorthodox thought models around relationships; important that we truly "partner" in designing the journey.
My love language in chronological order: Quality time, words of affirmation, acts of service, physical touch, receiving/giving gifts.
I am living proof that you are what you eat. I haven't consumed flour or sugar for 6 years. Great story around that. My philosophy: "Let your medicine be your food and let your food be your medicine." I probably need to exercise more but I'm extremely disciplined around what I eat.
Seeking a "friend to my mind and my heart". Are you HONEST, physically fit, healthy, intelligent; excellent communicator, witty/humorous, adventurous, goal-oriented? We should definitely talk if you take care of yourself, have a spiritual foundation and a propensity for casting a wide net, and understanding the importance of developing social and spiritual capital, exploring life and its possibilities.
I'm seeking to begin dialog with someone who is local and/or who has the capacity/flexibility to visit the Bay Area; romantic pursuit = ability to arrange quality "face-time". Only a very compelling set of circumstances will change my mind on this. Always open to just chatting/networking.
I hope to connect with someone who really "gets" me and challenges me intellectually and emotionally. I often appear aloof/reserved but actually I'm a very passionate woman who enjoys breathing the air of a man who knows himself and seeks to understand before being understood. A man who doesn't sit in the stands but gets on the court.
I absolutely LOVE comedy, sci-fi films and any dance or singing competition TV show, i.e. Duets, So You Think You Can Dance, The Voice.
I love to read (currently reading "Career Distinction: Stand Out By Building Your own Brand"); I enjoy dancing (Chicago steppin, urban ballroom, taking salsa lessons again), Being near the beach/ocean; Travel (recent trips Southern Caribbean, Atlanta, Eastern Caribbean); Can't live without "live" music at least once a month: current favorites artists/music: Classical, R&B, jazz, world music, country. Prince, John Legend, Cee Lo Green, Buika, Esperanza Spaulding, Ledisi, Kem, James Carter, Roy Hargrove. Enjoy film/theater...I'm a dog lover: have a feisty but super friendly Jack Russell Terrier.
MESSAGES - I enjoy messages with an intent to facilitate an engaged conversation. No photo, no response.
Life is good; live it well.

Date a woman from Oakland, United States. What’s a good woman to do? You won’t meet anyone who is sweeter, more loving, more caring. You will hardly meet anyone who is smarter, more creative and artistic, more psychologically astute, and has more depth and emotional awareness. You would be hard-pressed to find someone who is more youthful, fun, and present in life – someone who is extremely responsible and reliable but also playful and silly and spontaneous. And you can search high and low for someone who is more sensual and passionate, more emotionally open, and more genuine -- but such a rarefied combination is not easy to find.
I, an exceptionally good woman, am looking for my counterpart, my soul mate, my other. You are all that I am, but in different ways, and you want nothing more than to appreciate everything that I am and will be for you. You’re as smart as a whip, very competent and successful -- but your over-riding concern is being a good person – open, loving, giving, dependable, a man of integrity; a man of his word. I’m tall, athletic, and attractive and I yearn to share my life with someone of like mind, body, and heart.
A good woman should be able to find her good man out there, somewhere, wouldnРІР‚в„ўt you agree?

Date a soulmate from Arkansas, United States. I am a petite, attractive woman. Who is energetic and adventurous. I believe in love, family, friends, and home. I am seeking someone who feels the same way. Honesty and integrity is very important to me. I have a sweet personality, good attitude, and a great sense of humor. I do love to be romanced! I do take pride in myself. Being healthy and fit is important to me, it must be for you also.
I feel very blessed in my beautiful surroundings, this is something I would like to share with someone. Just to let you know, I was born and raised in the Bay Area, a Native Californian. I love California living.
I would like to add, I'm taking salsa lessons and having a lot of fun. I'm looking to find someone who likes to dance or just give it a chance, it's not a prerequisite. I do enjoy going to a Driving Range. I took a golf lesson, but I have not yet played on a course. Maybe I should stick to miniature golf, I enjoy that also. I do love photography, I am a beginner.
Chemistry and compatibility is also important to me. I won't hold back to let someone know at our first meeting or even through communications that we are not connecting and I hope you would be courteous enough to do the same.
My pictures are very recent....
One more thing, any men out there that's going through a mid life crisis and is looking for a young trophy, I'm not the one. I'm looking for a man that has a good sense of himself.

Meet a woman from Arkansas, United States. Hey, there. I’m a cool Oakland gal looking for someone who appreciates being in one of the most exciting metro areas in the world. Music, movies, art galleries, and educational events … there’s always something of interest. Walking, biking, rambling … there is never enough time to enjoy the fresh air. With you, extraordinary times might well occur.
But wait, who am I, you wonder? This is where it gets tricky. What to say, what to leave out? First, you should know that IРІР‚в„ўm solid, content, fit, financially independent, good-natured, and kind. But isnРІР‚в„ўt that what all of the others say? Hmm, whatРІР‚в„ўs different? I could say that compared with the average, I may be a bit more serious. I may be a bit more well-read and aware of world affairs. I may be a bit less materialistic and showy. I may tend to spend a bit more time in my head and a bit less time being chatty. I may be less up on sports. But certainly, I am none of those things to an extreme.
What do I need you to be? I have a very short list. Being kind is a big plus, and being honest a must. Having an appreciation of left-of-center political views is important for someone to be comfortable in my social circle. And, oh yes, not being too crazy would help. ThatРІР‚в„ўs it, I think.
Look, donРІР‚в„ўt be fooled into thinking you know who I am by this profile. When in doubt, email me!
And, listen, this could be fun!
