Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am outgoing, fun loving, compassionate, and a good listener. I am now rediscovering myself after so many years of marriage and having a lot of fun in the process. I like going out to eat and going to the movies, live theatre and comedy clubs and the beach. I also enjoy hiking and working out at the gym which is an important part of every day of the week for me. I am hoping to meet someone that enjoys doing a lot of the same things that I enjoy, he of course can have his own interests too, in fact I would encourage that. You never know where life is going to take you but I am hoping to find someone to share lives adventures with.

Date a woman from California, United States. I'm looking for someone that sees the fullness in the moment. Someone that hasn't made too many conclusions, and is okay with not knowing. I don't have a preconceived idea about who this person is, what they look like, or what they do - but I'm sure I'll know when I meet him.
Things I enjoy include cooking, oil painting, walking/hiking, live music, reading, yoga, gardening (although I'm restricted to a couple of flower boxes currently), writing (there's a book in me waiting to come out) and hanging with my two cats and my African Grey parrot. I'm also easily amused by life and don't need to do anything. I also enjoy watching people. For that reason I enjoy riding BART. There's a microcosm of humanity in every car.
I enjoy entertaining and vibrant conversation. Experiencing the fullness of love in the room when friends gather together. I love to cook.
I have an great interest in Chinese Medicine and have gotten several certifications in various styles of Asian massage and acupressure. But professionally, I'm a recruiter in the technology sector.
My "spiritual life" is of high importance to me. I'm not affiliated with a religion.. I meditate daily. Attend satsang. And I go to a couple of silent retreats every year. Someone that isn't willing to look deeply within themselves isn't going to be a good match for me. Authenticity is paramount. If you have strong "beliefs" you also won't be a good match for me. Being a fundamentalist in any area of life is not my cup o tea. But I do love a good cup of tea!
I was a vegetarian for many years, but became an omnivore again this year. However I still cook with a heavy hand toward veggie cuisine. I'm a bit of a foody too. Love a good glass of Chardonnay.
My taste in music is all over the map. But I will say I generally dislike rap and twangy country. Anything else is fair game, especially when done with passion. I don't watch much TV any more. I like odd indie films and any movie that really makes me think deeply. But sometimes I like to watch something silly and brain dead. I don't care for team sports, but going to a live baseball game can be a fun experience - for reasons other than the game itself. I should mention that If you're a "sit on the sofa all weekend watching sports" kinda guy, sorry, won't work.
I moved to the East Bay the beginning of the year after 15 years in the redwoods above Santa Cruz. Right now Berkeley is "home" and I'm loving it here. Lot's to experience.
If you're still reading at this point, and aren't making funny faces, you should send me an email.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Asian female. East Bay. Loves to sail, read, hike, bike, grow edibles. Opinionated but agreeable. Tough yet tender. Simple but complicated. Looking for a male friend. Have a heart of gold? Love to laugh? Friend first. Then some. Maybe.

Date men and women from California, United States. I love life - and working out. love spending time with my family and with my 3 grandchildren. I have annual passes to Disneyland and enjoy going there with my kids - it truly is the Happiest Place on Earth. I also love Hawaii - especially Kuaii - I've been there many times. I've never been on a cruise but my children have so it is on my bucket list. I would love to do a lot more traveling - I've traveled to Europe but only on business so not for enjoyment so I would like to travel there on vacation someday. I enjoy hiking - especially Mt. Diablo but not when the rattlesnakes are out :) I'm training for the Nike's Women's marathon and my normal workout routine consists of weights, kickboxing, spin classes, RIPPED and boot-camp classes. I'm passionate about Breast Cancer awareness since I lost my mother to Breast Cancer 19 years ago and I've participated in 5 Avon Walks for Breast Cancer. I also participate in Relay for Life and the Overnight Walks. Next year I will be doing Team in Training.I'm spent many years taking care of other people and not putting me first and now I've decided it is time to put me first!

Meet a soulmate from United States. i am a pretty eclectic person and love all sorts of things and activities--the two real constants in my life are my love and devotion to God and my kids.
i make acquaintances very easily and enjoy just about anything but also really enjoy being at home and peace and quiet. i love all climates and landscapes--beach, mountain, plains, etc....i like lots of activities--everything from quiet ones like walking and picnics to loud and active ones like concerts and amusement parks. yeah, cooking?-i can but hate the daily-ness of it all....i'm sorta that way about a lot of stuff. i like things more for the experience of it and the necessary things are sorta not at the top of my list ;o) good thing i can make going to the grocery store a fun experience for myself!! so the necessary stuff DOES get done ;o)
i am easily amused and think i have a great sense of wit and humor. i think i am pretty balanced and am playful as well as serious. i am creative and like to express that in several different ways. i am sentimental and am usually kind...but--i am strong willed and opinionated and made of stern stuff. i have, for the most part, maintained a smile and laugh despite my fair share of knocks in life. i think life is too short for bitterness.
the person that i am looking for first of all needs to love the Lord with all their heart. they would have to embrace my kids too because as the old saying goes "you also marry the family" and my kids are everything...that being said though, i believe that we are all individual people and that they/i deserve their/my independence...i am happy to have my kids as my friends and i am proud to be their mom, but i don't believe in parenting them for their whole lives.....
i want someone that wants to travel--even if it is only10 miles away! i want to discover new things around me. i want someone that likes to talk, and to listen. i want someone that has an interest in life and being excited about what each new day can bring. even if it is just another day of fresh hope.
not really looking for mr. wonderful to come sweep me off my feet with diamonds and roses and travel the world over on their private jet . i am just looking for a normal guy that is looking for a normal girl to enjoy normal life with. and, i wanna have some fun along the way.

Date people from United States. I'm British, legal, love to meet people and have fun. Arguably well educated, I possess an irreverent sense of humour, am curious, embrace challenge and crave intellectual stimulation. Working in healthcare, I volunteered in Haiti after the earthquake, and travel to Cambodia annually where by mixing altruism with adventure I'm able to offer others healthier and more prosperous opportunities in life. It's a melange of adrenaline, accomplishment, laughter, failure, frustration and tears.
Ballet trained from a young age, I drifted into Ballroom dancing a few years ago, competed briefly under duress, but now prefer the Salsa/Latin scene on occasion. Intrigued by foreign languages, I attempt to stay conversant in several, but know little about television shows, movies, spas, handbags, jewellery, or most team sports.
I may be found underwater frequently (SCUBA), completed a motorcycle training course last year but am sadly out of practice, like to hike (adore the Himalaya range), ran my first ..and possibly my last half marathon last year and I enjoy writing. Two travel articles were selected for publication in the latest edition of "To Cambodia with Love" (written for love, not money).
What do people notice about me? Definitely not my breasts! Possibly my smile, or something in the way I move?

Meet a woman from United States. I'm a friendly, optimistic, and active woman who is looking for a man who wants to enjoy and live life fully. I'm looking for an attraction between us that takes us from friendship through to love.
My last son has one more year of high school, so I'm enjoying more and more freedom. And if you've been a parent (and I hope you've had the pleasure) you'll understand what I mean. I love my children and enjoy them yet have raised them in cooperation with my ex-husband to be independent. I'm ready to more fun and more freedom!
I really enjoy the outdoors and travel; whether it be a new beach, restaurant, or travel that gets us farther afield.
I also enjoy puttering around the house our out in the garden. I'm a big fan of movies. I usually enjoy comedies, and romance (hey, I'm a women!), but I also enjoy action movies too. I'm not really into horror movies.
I enjoy cooking and entertaining and especially enjoy meals on my patio with family and friends. I enjoy walking/jogging, just took up Body Pump (weightlifting classes) and I've been studying tango. I enjoy trying new things, too.
SEEKING:
I don’t have a lot of preconceived ideas about my ideal match. Here’s a few, just for conversation’s sake…
Honest
Humorous or someone who appreciates humor
Faithful in the fullest sense of the word
Active and Healthy
A Good Father to his Children
Optimistic and able to see and bring out the Best in Others
So, let me know if you'd like to join me...for coffee, on the dance floor, on the porch swing, in the sand at sunset...

Date someone special from United States. No matter how good life is, you can always strive to make it even better! I am an optimistic person and am generally a happy person. I am compassionate towards others and like voluntering. I am friendly and and am comfortable in any social setting. In addition I am a strong and independent lady, I know my lifeРІР‚в„ўs path and have worked diligently to create a stable and successful life on many levels. The greatest foundation upon which I have built my life is that of family values. In turn, I believe the best foundation for a healthy relationship consists of honesty and trust. Without those, you are standing on shifting sands. Life is meant to be a celebration, and I would love to share the fun and adventure with nice person with a loving heart. Preferably he would be out-going and socially adept and courteous towards others. He appreciates that relationships require a balance of give and take between the individuals, and he is willing to compromise. A sense of humor is a must, along with integrity, responsibility, and a strong lust for life. In the department of romance an award-winning kisser would be the icing on the cake. I crave the type of relationship that allows you to grow when you are together, allowing each partner time for individual pursuits (like he golfs when I'm shopping for instance), yet makes you miss them even more when you are apart. Physically, I desire to be fully attracted to this man. Looks are important to ignite the chemistry. He lives a healthy and has a somewhat active lifestyle. No couch potatoes please. The personal relationships he has with his family are vital and strong. He is neat, clean, presentable, and has good old-fashioned manners. My life is together, and I hope yours is, too. I miss being in love and sharing the adventure of life with that special someone. I'd love to hear from you if you'd like to explore the possibilities.

Meet men and women from United States. My relationships are my priorities and what define me! I am looking for a trusted partner who is "GOOD TO THE BONE" in every way, one that is my best friend, who doesn't take himself or life too seriously, chooses to look at the bright side and makes me laugh every day (and vice-versa, of course!). I am most compatible with a man who is a parent and values that role as much as I do! I am told I possess an aura of positive energy and wake up every day with a smile as well as an 'attitude of gratitude'!

My goal is to develop a relationship that will become my (our) 'personal bestРІР‚в„ў! I am a romantic with a huge heart full of compassion, looking for the same! However, the pragmatic side of me aims to approach with caution, take it SLOW and get to know each other inside and out rather than rush into exclusivity for the mere sake of being in a relationship. Being honest and having an ingrained sense of integrity are the paramount, core values that I live by so I'd love to meet someone who has similar priorities!
In my humble opinion, our experiences and passions make us who we are so…here’s a few of mine:
*My beautiful girls (16 & 18), Mom and Dad, extended family and fabulous friends are the LOVES of my life!
*Intimate/Intelligent conversations, my work, РІР‚?learning something newРІР‚в„ў everyday, my Faith and spending time with loved ones are my greatest inspirations.
*Affection, cuddling and endless kisses…ALL necessities in my book (unfortunately kissing seems to be a �lost art’ these days!)
*Living an active lifestyle.... hike, dance, ski, exercise classes/weights, etc. I still love exploring SD after all these years and always look forward to traveling to new destinations...my cabin in Lake Arrowhead is one of my fav places to decompress!
*Music...my taste is very eclectic, ranging from Classic Rock, Alternative and Country to Broadway Show Tunes and Andrea Boccelli (but I can't seem to wrap my head around rap or techno…go figure!?!). Some songs/lyrics literally take my breath away and make me sing out-loud! (OOPS…did I just admit that? YIKES!).
*Trying new recipes and attempting to 'copy-cat' restaurant cuisine is better than 'therapy' but I also love it when my partner cooks for me!
After reading through these profiles it appears that, for the most part, the majority of us have our laundry list of 'must haves'...we can do our РІР‚?due diligenceРІР‚в„ў, research for hours and conclude that everything 'looks good on paper' but meeting someone face-to-face and taking TIME to explore each other is (for me) the true test of chemistry...it's the 'click' that counts and I'm hoping to meet someone who ignites a special 'spark' that inspires further discovery!

. I'm the easygoing type who loves doing just about anything once. I like riding quads, motorcycles, and horses. I also like working on home projects. I dislike drama of any kind, and I do avoid it. Life is short, so eat dessert first!
I'm looking for a happy man who has his life straightened out and who is looking for adventures of his own and someone with to share them. I'm not looking to be a momma to your children or you, so grown-up's only need apply.
I don't drink because I'm mildly diabetic, but I don't mind if you like to drink socially. I don't like cigarette smoke, but an occasional cigar is okay by me. I'm on disability because of a brain disorder, but it's under control, and you cannot tell it's there.
I'm looking for someone who likes me for me. I've had too many men try to change me into something they want/need, and that is not my style. I won't try to change you either. I speak my mind, and I like a man who speaks his mind.
I need intelligent, witty conversation, not coarse language or 7th grade humor. I'm not into slap stick and pranks. You can be sarcastic with me; but beware, I'll be sarcastic back, so you have to be able to take it. I don't like video games, because they are boring. I'd rather be doing something constructive. I'm not the NASCAR type.
I have my tiny flower garden and roses. I don't have animals, but I do like them. I would like to learn to snowboard and fly fish. I took flying lessons many years ago.
I like a man who loves his job, likes working around the house, likes to travel occasionally, has good friends, and likes me for who I am.

. Here is a description of myself... I am loving, caring, romantic, simple, hard working, bright, funny, and outgoing.
I enjoy watching sunsets, nature, going to the mountains, beaches, shopping antiques, movies, dining trying out a variety of good food & wine, and most of all love to travel. I have traveled extensively around the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Just arrived from Europe a few weeks ago, wouldn't mind going back to explore more places I haven't seen. Fill my pages in my passport.
Life is short. I am fortunate and grateful for all the blessings. I'd love to spend it with someone who is loving, caring, funny, and shares the same interests as I have. Someone who will make me smile and laugh...ENJOY LIFE TO THE FULLEST TOGETHER.
