Date men and women from United States / California / Albany, 41 year old

Date men and women from Albany, United States. After years of trying to convince me to sign up for online dating, my friends finally succeeded with two very powerful words: "what if..."
Originally from LA, I have been living in the bay area for over a decade. I believe in developing and maintaining strong connections with family and friends so I go to So Cal often. My friends describe me as adventurous, generous, open-minded, and playful. I love to travel and see the world as I enjoy learning new cultures, tasting ethnic cuisines, and meeting amazing people.
I am interested in meeting someone who enjoys good conversations and has a great sense of humor. I am looking for a best friend to share laughter and new life experiences.

Date someone special from Albany, United States. I m trying something that I never thought I will do. I'm giving it a chance ..let's see if others are in the same situation . I enjoy so many things in life from eating good food to travelling and sports.

Meet people from Albany, United States. My friends would say I am loyal, generous and sweet but also intense, quick thinking, ridiculously silly sometimes and way too serious other times. I am pretty energetic, can talk a million miles a minute, but also really like the silence that comes when you are off in the woods or just existing with a good friend. I work in an intense, analytical job that I really love; I am very curious about the world and how things work and love learning new things. Fairly middle-of-the-road girl-next-door in some ways, I am not super fanatical about anything but like variety in my life. I am down to earth, intellectual, traditional and completely non-conventional - all at the same time. I value a somewhat silly sense of humor, being balanced between ambition and leisure, and being grounded without getting too new-age-y about it. A sharp mind coupled to a quick smile, self-confidence coupled with some humility for your good fortune - that both describes me and describes what I look for. Curiosity, chivalry, kindness, ambition, warmth, humor, energy, intellect - all good things in my book. If you fit the bill, we should get together.

Date someone special from Albany, United States. Most people would say IРІР‚в„ўm fun-loving, gregarious, kind, open-minded, passionate, non-drama and seem younger than 40 (hopefully that's a goood thing?).
It would be nice to fall naturally into a relationship (I only date one guy at a time), but I'm happy with my life and not interested in getting married or moving in with anyone too soon. But I'm looking for a guy that's interested in spending a lot of time doing fun, spontaneous, interesting things together. I'm not a good match for workaholics, 'players,' or commitment phobes.
WHAT I'M INTO
Music is a *huge* part of my life. I see it live at least once a week, and spend a lot of time reading about it and listening to tracks of new bands on the rise. Mostly indie and rock...all over SF and Oakland. But I gravitate to soulful lyrics like Iron Wine and Dawes. On the flip side, I recently saw Social D and love seeing classic street punk at the Uptown. (Ideally, you can hang with that.).
I borrowed a piano a few months ago and started learning to play, but I've had a lot of distractions and business that have chewed into my practicing. :-/ Trying to change that...
I'm not into TV (except Anthony Bourdain...love that man), but have been into movies since I watched the classics as a kid. My all-time favs include:
- The Notebook
- High Fidelity
- Blade Runner
- Dr. Zhivago
- Lost in Translation
- So I Married an Axe Murderer
- Dazed Confused
I daydream about where to travel next. I've been to 11 countries including Tunisia. I never mind going places by myself... at home or abroad. More chance to meet new people and stumble upon unexpected experiences and adventures.
Besides that, I like getting outside in the fresh air... organic gardening, kicking around the soccer ball, riding my Razor, dancing, hiking, skiing.
CAREER
Going on 18 yrs in high-tech public relations...right now at a fun successful startup.
But after that long in tech, I recently decided I need a change. So I'm spending a lot of my free time networking and trying to figure out how to make a living (financially) doing live music promotion. I'm getting there little by little. Where there's a will, there's a way!
Since I tend to be a high-energy Type A during the week, I look forward to weekend mornings of la dolce far niente. 'The sweetness of doing nothing.' I love wrapping myself up in a sheet to make good, dark coffee, and then hopping back into bed to drink it while warm sun streams through the windows or rain falls on the patio outside. It's therapeutic.
IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING
Yes, I have 2 wonderful, hilarious, loving children that live with me 50% of the time. I'm still really amicable with my ex. That leaves me a lot of free time to go out, date, take long weekends, do my own thing, and basically...be in a relationship if things work out that way.
YOU SHOULD CONTACT ME IF...
You're more interested in meeting offline than messaging. The only way to find out if we have chemistry is to meet, so let's do it!
Worst case? We've had wine or a pint together and parted ways. I can think of worse ways to spend an evening.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I'm going to TRY and keep this as short and sweet as possible. I know if a profile is too long or itРІР‚в„ўs lumped into one large paragraph, I am less apt to read through it. Chemistry is key and I think a quick overview of the important aspects of myself and some pics should do the trick. So far, do I spark your interest?
I am a single mom to a 7 year old son. I have been happily single for over 3 years. While I feel like my life is in a great place (my kid rocks, I have a full time, secure and meaningful job, I live in a community where I feel truly at home and have great friends and family), there is one thing I would like to add and that is why IРІР‚в„ўve chosen to come here.
I am fun, energetic, and enjoy spoiling the ones I love. I love to kiss (again this is where chemistry is key). I am a straight forward person, I where my emotions on my shoulders and speak my mind; you always know where you stand with me. Friends and family would say that is one of the many qualities about me. I'm a fairly simple woman, not too high maintenance yet I take care of myself. It doesn't take much to make me smile (e.g. flowers once in a while; a random, romantic text; and a surprise visit). I often have a sarcastic sense of humor and love to joke around and play. I laugh a lot, cry occasionally (usually a good cry), and have an upbeat personality.I like to camp, go to amusement parks, and go on weekend getaways when I have free time. I enjoy going out with my friends for drinks (happy hours rock!) just as much as staying home drinking a bottle of wine, a six pack of beer or vodka with lime. I also enjoy going to the movies and sporting events, especially baseball and basketball. I haven't traveled much but REALLY want to...going to Vegas for a week for the umpteenth time this summer. Oh I love Vegas! This time I am taking my son and we're going to the Grand Canyon. I also LOVE baseball and go to games as much as possible. Go A's (not the Giants!)!!! :)
My son is my main focus and TOP priority. Who I choose to spend time with MUST love children.
While I am more than comfortable taking things slow, I am looking for a long term relationship. If we meet and date, you most likely will not meet my son right away as I strongly believe in not having my son see me with various men. So with that said, lets “hook up”! Just kidding, really! I AM NOT INTERESTED IN A ONE NIGHT STAND, SO IF THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, please press NEXT!
Please note: I am only interested in men that live within a short distance from me (SF/East Bay area only).
So much for my short intro...:)
