Date women from United States / California / Aptos, 49 year old

Date someone special from Aptos, United States. A word about geography. I am on the peninsula 3 days a week, and frequently drive to SF. My house has ocean views, easy access to redwood trails, and makes a wonderful weekend retreat. And I am not wedded to living here in the long term.
I grew up in the UK, have spent most of my adult years in the Bay Area, and lived in France (Versailles) in the mid РІР‚в„ў90s. One of the first things people notice about me is that IРІР‚в„ўm very energetic and enthusiastic. I tend to dive into what draws my attention, rather than hypothesizing about whether IРІР‚в„ўd enjoy it, so I've explored a lot of things, whether that's on the professional front (I'm on about my fifth significant career), education, travel (e.g. Belize, Egypt, Morocco, Peru, Japan, India, extensively in Europe), or hobbies (currently teaching myself electric bass).
I love being in romantic partnership and am ready for and serious about pursuing a new commitment. IРІР‚в„ўm loyal and reliable, thoughtful and caring, very sensual and affectionate, and prioritize my partner and the relationship. I value honesty and integrity and open communication. The quality of all my relationships is extremely important to me, and I try to treat each person in my life with respect, curiosity, nonjudgment, and openness. That includes this online world we're in, and I try to be respectfully responsive to everyone who takes the risk to reach out. I think the most important things in life are continuing to evolve and having the best quality relationships with people I can. I'm highly verbal, and appreciate deep conversations. Friends sometimes complain that it's intimidating to respond to my Proustian emails but I'm just "talking" electronically and have lots to say! You'll know that I'm thinking about you because I'm likely to text/email when I do. I like the feeling of the thread of connection running between us although we're off doing our own stuff during the day. And there's nothing better than a warm, close hug and kiss when we reconnect in person.
People typically think I'm about 10 years younger than I am, and I think it's partly because I can be playful and irreverent, and have very youthful energy in body and spirit. I'm very fit with a bias towards outdoor exercise: I like to hike, run trails, x-c ski, swim, bike, backpack, snowshoe, play tennis, practice yoga, iceskate, and ride horses. It'll be a great fit if you are athletic, happy to hit the trail for a 10-mile hike or mountain bike up a steepish climb, and enjoy being in nature, camping, roughing it a bit. I also delight in spending time in cosmopolitan cities like London, Paris, and Barcelona, and taking in the "highbrow" culture that goes along with that. I guess I'm pretty versatile!
I prize intimacy and sharing myself fully with another, and creating the trust and safety to allow each of us to be vulnerable, and give us space to grow. IРІР‚в„ўm hoping you are self-aware, warm and giving, and comfortable with your own and others' emotions, and know how to communicate about sensitive topics. I think IРІР‚в„ўm pretty good at these things and that they are the foundation for creating a loving and sustainable relationship. I hope weРІР‚в„ўll be passionate about each other's minds and bodies; fluid, spontaneous, and open to new experience; thrilled to talk to each other about anything from science to spirituality, and be able to laugh and relax and not take ourselves or life too seriously.
A friend described me as "fast-twitch in the intellectual realm", and I like being around people who move at my speed that way. And I am so ready to learn from you about all the things I'm not appreciating, slowing down and being fully in the present. From a spiritual perspective, I've been on a journey from atheism most of life to a more recent embracing of some Eastern philosophy. IРІР‚в„ўm hoping to meet someone who, like me, has been fortunate to have lived a life with rich experience, and has the maturity, breadth of perspective, and curiosity that comes from that

Date a soulmate from Aptos, United States. Intellectual beach girl with a dash of hippie looking for a partner to share her world.
Me: I grew up in Hermosa Beach, went to school in Humboldt and Ohio, worked for a global semiconductor company and then retired. IРІР‚в„ўm independent, confident, easy-going, funny, well-educated, and happy.
I spend my free РІР‚?adultРІР‚в„ў time playing beach volleyball at Main, mountain biking in Nisene, pilates, and hosting adult РІР‚?game nightsРІР‚в„ў. I can go from the sand to jeans and a Rolex in a matter of minutes.
I live in a beautiful home with my eight year old twin boys who are cute, smart, and athletic and attend a private Christian school. I am lucky enough to not have to work so that I can focus on my boys which means I host lots of pool parties, watch tennis lessons, coach a soccer team, build lots of Llegos, and set up play dates.
You: My perfect guy will be gracious enough to open the door for me and strong enough to (nicely) call me on my stuff. He will have journeyed inside himself and come out the other side comfortable and aware of who he is. He will be self-assured and get along with others. He will be able to let things go and be grateful for what the universe has given him.
How about You and I meet for coffee?
