Date a woman from 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
Meet someone special from United States. I can be silly and fun.. I think of myself as very easy going. I like learning and seeing new things.Kindness always brings a smile to my face.I am very blessed in my life.. I love my job, my house at the beach, my beautiful sons, my friends and family.

Date a soulmate from 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?
Meet someone special from California, United States.
Seeking to raise my vibration on a spiritual level, I am currently on a path toward enlightened consciousness. Gratitude, Acceptance, Awareness, Peace and Love...It feels like I'm living in the Age of Aquarius. I'm letting the sunshine in...
(It recently occurred to me that some of my favorite things actually have a high vibration. Music, cats and color. Hmmmm.....)
By the way, I think Match needs to expand the options for body type. For mine, I would have to select: Beautiful - with a Nice Balance of Muscle Tone and Curves in All the Right Places. (I just couldn't bring myself to check average...but I don't really look like Madonna, either!)
I recently moved from Baton Rouge, Louisiana to pursue a travel nursing career while exploring coastal California. Drove across the country with my beautiful kitties. Dolce and Marbles, two of the coolest cats I have ever known. I'm definitely a cat person, but dogs are really special, too. I love to watch them play on the beach. I'm also amazed by dolphins. I recently swam with dolphins in the wild while snorkeling in Hawaii. My encounter with those intelligent creatures as they swam playfully all around me was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life. I want to go back to Hawaii and do it again. I would also like to explore Europe, Morocco, Costa Rica and more. I love to travel.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE music. From Pink Floyd to Vivaldi. Beethoven and Tom Petty. Rod Stewart. Chopin. Nirvana and Mozart. Elvis Costello. Foo Fighters. DMB, REM, CSNY and U2. Dire Straits, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac. The Beatles, The Stones, The Eagles, The Who. Heart and Sting. Tom Jones, Rush, Peter Frampton, Peter Gabriel. Built to Spill, The Flaming Lips, Counting Crows, Lenny Kravitz, The Black Keys, The White Stripes. Lucinda Williams, Barbara Streisand. Dionne Warwick. New Orleans Funk and so much more.The list keeps growing. I was in Radio/TV Broadcasting before pursuing a career in Nursing. Worked at an NBC affiliate TV station. Dreamed of being an MTV V.J. back in the '80s. That job never manifested, but my passion for music just would not go away. Pandora has become my new best friend.
Color. Gotta have it. Fashion, art, design, architecture. Style. Creativity. Fuchsia and Chartreuse. Blue...Baby, Navy, Periwinkle, French, Mediterranean, and Rosemary Beach on the Florida Panhandle BLUE. Sometimes gray is my favorite color...Taupe, Oyster and Mushroom. Black and White. (What is it about black velvet and white cotton?) I am always intrigued by the creative names of colors on those swatches at the paint store. Someday I plan to take up painting. My inner artist wants to come out and play.
I have a beautiful son, a 26 year old artist who lives in Arcata (Humboldt). He is an amazing young man and truly the brightest light in my life. I have learned so much from being a single mother and I'm filled with gratitude every time I think of him and what a special person he has grown to be.
I grew up sailing in Lake Pontchartrain and the Gulf of Mexico. My Dad and my brother are both avid sailors, and they have taught me well. Looking forward to the America's Cup in SF. And taking a cruise on the Chardonnay (70 ft. yacht out of Santa Cruz Harbor). It would be great to meet a sailor.
I'm actually okay with being alone at this time in my life, but I cannot deny my craving for a warm connection. Real love. I hope to find a fun friend, a passionate lover, a special soul. Dreamy eyes and a happy smile. Someone who can feel the magic of dusk and the sweetness of the moon...
Date a soulmate from California, United States. Just woke up and realized it's time to start sharing my life and endeavors with a soulmate. Enjoy what life has brought me, but would like enjoy great memories with one who is emotionally available and true to his word.
Love expoloring, getaways, home projects and this lovely area we live in. Have dedicated time to engage in a healthy commited relationship.
Do not have a large family and am looking for low maintenance lifestyles in which focus can be on each other.
Catching a movie, bite to eat, viewing a special event/concert, meeting with friends and enjoying the simple pleasures life has to offer as well as exploring the exotic corners of the world.
Looking for a little reality as well as some fantasy. Sharing the ups and downs that come our way...I enjoy someone who has experiened life and has taken the steps to kindle a fostering friendship toward the development of 'fireworks forever'...
Take care and have fun out there in cyberspace! Love to hear from you when you're ready!
Meet a soulmate from United States. I am as comfortable in heels and skiboots as in flip flops (well, maybe not quite that comfortable) and I can get ready pretty quickly to either go on a hike or to a gallery opening. My circle of friends spans continents, generations and viewpoints and balance between body, mind, soul and daily life are of great importance to me. My work surrounds me with intelligent and caring people in a bucolic setting. My life is full and comfortable but I do miss the touch of someone special. I am looking for someone to share favorite things with, someone to complement, not complete me, someone to eventually become a true partner.
Date someone special from California, United States. My closest friends tell me that I'm funny. I say I am optimistic and happen to find humor in things that most people don't. Life is too short not to laugh! However, I do have a serious side. I'm extremely passionate about animals, take care of my family and friends, and am very responsible.
I'm not looking for a commitment here; just somebody to hang with and (bonus for me) if you have a bike let's go for a ride!
Meet a woman from California, United States. HHHmmmm, where to start?? Well Im a hopeless romantic and Im passionate about life. I have certainly lived a varied life so far, with many experiences of different cultures and countries. I grew up in England in a small, quaint village, travelled extensively and ended up spending the second part of my life in California, moving to the Monterey Peninsula in 1988. To be near the ocean, brings me constant pleasure and I work for an organization that pursues oceanographic research. I enjoy the simple things in life like watching the sunset on the beach, enjoying nature and the beauty of the area we are so fortunate to live in. I particularly enjoy hiking or biking in scenic places, walks on the beach, pretty much anything outdoors,going to the movies, dinners by candlelight with a nice bottle of wine, snuggling up by a roaring fire, spontaneous weekend get-aways, traveling abroad (I worked for the airlines for 6 years). I also enjoy the theatre, music and the arts. Family and friends are very high on my list. I consider protecting the environment and living a healthy lifestyle important also, but I'll tell you more about me when I see you, if you would be interested.Well Im looking for the real thing,which is hard to find, even with the large number of profiles on match com! Someone genuine, sincere and honest with good values, but who at the same time is fun-loving and full of surprises. I am looking for a man who will keep me young. That is paramount. I want a partner who as we head into our fifties, is young at heart, where we are both committed to have fun and laughter together, where we dont stagnate, lose passion for life and each other. Secondly, a man who makes me feel like a woman and cherishes my femininity. Also he would need to be conscious of protecting the environment and in favour of a healthy lifestyle. Do you exist??!!
