Date women from United States / California / Aliso Viejo - page 11

Date a woman from United States. You're selective and not willing to just "settle." That's exactly how I feel.
If you're searching for someone genuine, funny and sweet, you've found her. If you're looking for someone full of optimism and who cares about staying in shape, you've found her. I have realistic expectations about dating. Not looking for a Brad Pitt or a Donald Trump. Just looking for someone perfect for me. Seems to me, too many people on dating sites have set the bar way too high. Is the bar even reachable? People want someone so perfect - "that someone" doesn't really exist. It's a bit daunting because most men want to date women 15 to 30 years younger than themselves. What happened to being realistic? Those who spend all their membership time looking at profiles of girls young enough to be their daughters are missing out. They're likely to skip over the very woman who'll fill their heart's desire.
I'm hoping to meet someone for a long term, committed relationship. I'd like to begin as friends. That's the greatest foundation for a relationship.
Loving, laughing, enjoying each day as though it's our last with a fire in our bellies and stopping to cherish each sunset and gaze in your eyes everyday - that's what I want my next, and hopefully last, relationship to be. Tell me, do you want the same?
I was married faithfully just once for 26 years. I have two grown kids and three grandchildren with a fourth on the way.
My photos are current. I hope yours are, too. I'm on the slender side of average - not skinny - and definitely NOT overweight. I've read the horror stories men write about: women who post old photos or lie about their age and size. That's not me.
I'm sincere, warm, playful and passionate, a great listener and generous to a fault with my time and my heart.
I swim four to five days a week to stay in shape and love long walks. I'm not a couch potato by any means, but I do enjoy my "down" time to unwind. I'd love to meet someone who's romantic, playful, adventurous, humorous and enjoys lots of intimate conversation. My friends would tell you I'm really funny and easy-going. Of course I've paid them to say that.
I hope you're curious about life and care about being active.
Meeting for a coffee at Starbucks or a drink in the evening is what I prefer. I think the first time we meet should be simple and relaxed. I'm an honest person and not looking to take advantage of a guy (I've read that some men say they feel like a meal ticket on first dinner dates). I can't sit through a dinner when there's no connection. I do have integrity.
I've only had seven "first meets" since I joined Match. One was still mourning the loss of his late wife; five were only interested in one-night stands; and the other had glaring anger issues. All of them said I look just like my photos. So, I prefer not to be contacted by guys who: are looking for a hook up; aren't over their last relationship; have anger issues; or have alcohol/substance abuse issues. If you can't have a drink without checking your Crackberry, I'm not your girl.
I know there are millions of great guys out there. I'd love to meet just one. Where are you?

Meet someone special from 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 soulmate from United States. I'm a Southern California transplant who grew up in Georgia. I look back fondly on the time I spent there, until I remember the mosquitos. IРІР‚в„ўve been here a long time, so you probably wonРІР‚в„ўt detect an accent unless IРІР‚в„ўve had a glass or two of wine. I consider myself to be very fortunate in that I have a few good friends, I'm financially secure, and I have a career that I enjoy. IРІР‚в„ўve recently become my own boss and am enjoying the freedom and flexibility that comes with that. I would describe myself as fiscally conservative but socially liberal. IРІР‚в„ўm low maintenance and very resourceful. I know my way around a tool box, but IРІР‚в„ўm still a girly-girl who needs you to kill the spiders for me!
I'm a domesticated homebody who also loves to travel, especially to Europe. Italy is my favorite place on earth. I still can't believe I've been lucky enough to see DaVinci's Last Supper in Milan, Michelangelo's David in Florence, and the ruins in Rome and Pompeii. My dream vacation would be to take a cooking class somewhere in Tuscany with a romantic partner. I can't travel all the time, so some of the things I love to do in my everyday life are to take Yoga classes, take my energetic dog on long walks, see live theater, read a really good book, go wine tasting, go hear live music, and see a good thriller movie (as opposed to a chick flick!). Just a few of the things on my wish list are to learn to play the guitar, learn Italian and French, see a Broadway play in NYC, and fill up my Ipod completely.
I'm most drawn to men close to my age who are confident, educated, intelligent, and considerate. I notice and appreciate good manners. Although I don’t have children (one of my few regrets), I admire men who are family oriented and who value that over the perpetual single dating life. The guy I'm looking for would be looking for a woman who is not clingy or needy, and would be seeking his equal. That being said, I do like a man who is a take-charge kind of guy who will plan a date and take the lead more often than not (that's my southern upbringing, I guess). I prefer a man who's cerebral and curious about the world around him, and likes discussing a wide variety of issues. To me, the best aphrodisiac is a good conversation. So don’t “wink” at me, start a conversation!

Meet a woman from Aliso Viejo, United States. I am an active, energetic person who is very down to Earth. I am an optimist and try to avoid negative people as much as possible. I have been told that I am too friendly and trusting; however, I am also straight forward and honest and prefer that others be the same. My pictures are very current so what you see is what you get. There is no reason in the world why anyone on this site cannot post a photo. How hard is it to ask a friend to take a picture of you?! If you do not have a photo please DO NOT waste your time (or mine) sending me a wink or e-mail as I have no interest if I don't know what you look like. I posted my pictures so I should be afforded the same opportunity.
At this point in my life, I don't think there is anything that can be said, heard, done, or seen that would shock me. I am not into drama. I don't give it out and I don't like being on the receiving end of it either. I am very organized, emotionally stable, generous, caring. Please, read my profile and requirements. I AM NOT a cougar! If you are younger than 42 I am not the least interested in having a conversation with you on any level no matter how "mature' you think you are. It's just weird to me!! I prefer men who have had experience and who are my own vintage. Sorry boys, that's how it is.
I want what most women want, and that is to have someone who will treasure me for the person I am. I am a bit of a "Tom Boy" but prefer the man to take the lead. I like sports and am fairly good at most of them but I don't consider myself as being a "jock." I like to dress up when I go out and I like being treated like a lady so if you would like to open the door for me, pull out my chair, protect me, and make me feel safe and secure that is perfectly fine with me. I am fairly independent and strong but it's nice to have someone who will be understanding, supportive, and encouraging when you need it.
Good luck to you all in your search for happiness.

Date someone special from Aliso Viejo, United States. I am a nice, thoughtful and easygoing person who likes to be around good people. I am grateful for my family. I am looking for someone who has good moral values and a sense of humor. I like to go for walks and out to dinner and I enjoy cooking and would like to find a cooking mate. I also like to explore different places.

Meet a woman from Aliso Viejo, United States. Hello!
I am 58 yrs. old, divorced, and without children. Seems my former spouse satisfied my need for a child! (joking- sort of)
I would enjoy meeting someone to spend my free time with. I would welcome a long-term, monogamous, relationship if the right man came along. Not necessarily in search of a husband although I guess it could happen. For me, hitting the jackpot would be finding a cherished companion.
I enjoy my life, love to laugh and gravitate towards people with wit. At the risk of sounding like a Miss America contestant, I do believe that we should each leave the world a better place than we found it. If I were starting my career over, I might study wildlife/habitat conservation and go off to Africa working to preserve the gorillas, the chimpanzees or any other number of magificent creatures that we "share" (we don't share well, we humans) the planet with.
I travel every chance I get- the more exotic the locale, the better. Finding a willing and enthusiastic travel companion would please me endlessly. I run for exercise and enjoy boating and water-skiing. I love good films and prefer foreign films/art films/indies/documentaries and an occasional "chick flick".
I am independent, spontaneous, adventurous and relatively care-free. Obstacles may slow me down but rarely put me off my path. I welcome the differences in people and enjoy that we all come from various viewpoints and experiences and would not prefer a world where everyone shares my beliefs. Despite enjoying differing viewpoints, I don't enjoy discussing political differences. I have friends of all political persuasions but I'm not a political junky and don't enjoy that debate - it's too divisive.
I love all foods and am always eager to try new restaurants. I enjoy fine dining and good wine but also appreciate a good hole-in-the wall. If I had nine lives, I would spend one of mine attending culinary school in Italy or France.
I like a man who is successful in whatever he chooses to do. I am not a workaholic and wouldn't enjoy the company of one. I prefer a calm, understated, sociable, somewhat serious man who has a dry sense of humor, loves to laugh and knows how and when to have fun. If he had an artistic streak of some sort, even better! I enjoy people who truly engage in life, no matter what their interests. I prefer people who act on their dreams and aspirations rather than talk about them. I am young at heart and require that in my mate.
I like men who look for, and find, the good in situations. I don't like selfishness or laziness. There is no time in my life for mean-spirited people. I am not a suspicious or jealous person and don't enjoy those that are. I think that narcissists are best-suited for themselves.
I would enjoy hearing from like-minded men and always prefer an email to a wink.
Ciao!

Date a soulmate from United States. I am a person who loves to stop and smell the roses. I love to laugh....it's really important to me to be with someone who smiles and makes me smile and laugh. As they say, "laughter is the best medicine". I am looking for someone who has a zest for life and is as passionate about the ocean and the little things in life that make us smile. My friends and family are very important to me so being with someone who enjoys hanging out and get togethers is key as well. I am a fun loving and sincere person who is not into game playing. I am passionate about the outdoors (especially the ocean) and music....it makes me smile. It's the little things in life that make me happy .I love going to concerts or just down to a local place to listen to live music. My friends are a big part of my life, without them it wouldn't be the same. I would like to meet someone who shares my passion of the ocean or just the outdoors...someone who likes to tell a joke or two and can walk in to a group of unknown people and make himself at home. Did I mention kissing? Ah, I should start off with "must love to kiss"! It's right up there with the ocean and music! I try to find the good in people and would love to have a partner who is kind and gives people the benefit of the doubt.

Date a woman from United States. Looking for a guy that wants to have a lady in his life. We can enjoy each others company and share our life with friends and famiiy and most of all each other. Like to share, laugh, learn, cook, shop and love and have fun. It's all attitude and you and I can make whatever we want it to be. Want to do "couple" things and grow together as well as becoming friends/mate. After all, everyone needs that special someone.

. There something special in all of us~ I believe in knowing what you enjoy and who you are at the core. Circumstances change throughout our lives but at the core there lives the truest parts of us. I am kind, thoughtful, intelligent, ambitious and loyal. I respect the truth and honor those who maintain the communication to be honest. Life is too short to pretend.
I try to be my best and look for the ways in which I can be more patient, giving, and generous. I am a respected friend and enthusiastic supporter of the best in others. Lots of east coast friends since I lived in Boston 26 years. Now back to my roots in native California where everyday is spent enjoying this paradise weather!
The outdoors appeals to me and I make the most of it- whether riding bikes, walking, fishing, golfing, hiking- whatever on a beautiful day. I foster my creativity in business while working with designers and architects. It's my own gig and I wouldn't have it any other way! So excited when a new project comes along and happy when the fruits of our labor are seen at the end of a new construction project!
Love my only son immensely. Very proud of the relationship we have and enjoy each others company. I have made new friends in the OC but looking for that guy who wants a very special lady. You get what you give and fortunately I practice that golden rule. Life is just too short not to enjoy the things you love.

. Some special someone to share lifes adventures with, who's spontaneous , fun and wants to be loved and respected ! They must love music and dance , also it would be nice if they liked to travel ,or even go camping or sailing ; the great out doors ! Must like dogs .

. Tall blonde seeks a partner to be friends first, then open to see where it goes. I'd like someone that shares mutual activities but also open to trying some new ones. I'd love to travel more, worry less and just enjoy what i have.
I was born and raised in Southern California along with 3 sisters and 1 brother. I grew up as a tomboy and enjoyed most sports but that's because I excelled at them which made it easy. Currently I go to the gym, golf and just try to stay in shape.
I received an AA degree in business but if I had it do over I'd be a teacher.
I was married at a young age, divorced and raised a wonderful daughter who's married and has two wondeful kids, ages 1 month and 2 years and yes, that makes me a grandma. It sounds terrible but I'm getting use to it.
I've been single awhile, have no strings and would like to share my life in beautiful California with someone likeminded.
I'm an honest woman who doesn't play games when it comes to dating and would prefer the man to be the same way. I've got a good sense of humor and alot of common sense which I feel is extremly important to any relationship.
The various pictures attached are wiihin the last couple of years as you can see by the hair style changes.
