Date women from United States / California / Bakersfield, 47 year old

Date a woman from United States. Hi and thank you for taking the time to read my profile.
I enjoy cooking and planning special surprises for family and friends, going to the beach (even though I can't swim well, but love it anyway), movies, music, quiet times, church, sports, weekend outings. I love movies and at times funny cartoons, and good sporting events. I'm a loving, loyal, spiritual woman who loves to travel and see new places and new things. Love to go out to dinner, concerts in the park, or just having time to myself. If you have any problems with abusing drugs or alcohol, anger issues, phsyical, verbal, or any other abuse then please don't read any further. Abuse of any kind is unacceptable and it has no place in my life. One-night stands are not an option so don't even think about asking. I'm not looking for a sugardaddy, looking for an "All True Man".
Right now I am an empty-nester after raising five children and now a grandmother of three grandsons. I love spending time with them as well as going out with the girls on the town for coffee, lunch, or just visit each other and chat about planning for weeks ahead, or talk about our concerns (we are sisters in Christ who pray, laugh and cry together as we lift up each other, our families, friends, and others people to the Lord). I like to take time to meditate and read the bible, go walking around the park and the neighborhood for exercise, and practice my music.
Would like to meet a man who is honest, caring and loving, but strong, whom I can share my dreams and goals with as well as his; has a good relationship with his family, friends and others without the extra baggage of the past weighing him down. Not afraid to show or give affection, love warm hugs and kisses, good sense of humor. Yes, I love looking at the stars on clear nights as well as watching the sunrise and sunset. Life can be wonderful when two people respect each others' feelings, hopes, dreams, and goals can go through good and bad times and still have a strong and lasting relationship. I believe that special man is out there. I would like to start out as friends first, then see what happens as time progresses. I don't believe in rushing into a relationship without first getting to know the gentleman and him getting to know me. I don't ask for much, only to be treated with respect as the same will be given in return.

Meet someone special from United States. I have a great sense of humor, IРІР‚в„ўm honest, fair, I donРІР‚в„ўt cheat or lie (unless itРІР‚в„ўs about a surprise party or similar...I kinda bend the rules there ;) but only there!) I value trust (love the quote: Trust is like a piece of paper, once it is crumpled, you can smooth it out but it is never quite the same), friendship and love. IРІР‚в„ўm looking for a man who treats a woman with respect. I believe that everything happens for a reason. I have a full time job, I go to school and I have two pre-teen daughters that I love like crazy!!! Yes they are my priority, and I would expect your children to be your priority. However I do have free time (especially every other weekend) & would enjoy having someone special to hang out and do things with on those weekends (& in between too)!! I love trying new things and have a РІР‚?bucket listРІР‚в„ў of things I still need to do!! I love escaping to the mountains, coast or Vegas, or pretty much anywhere!! I love to camp, ride my mountain bike, walk, hold hands, kiss, snuggle, zip line, white water raft, boat, fish, stargaze, watch DVDs, go to the movies or the theatre, go out for a drink (coffee, tea or...the occasional beer (I am NOT a РІР‚?party girlРІР‚в„ў, I rarely drink or go to bars)), see a concert (how about Poco at Brighthouse amphitheater??) IРІР‚в„ўm open in the adventure category, though I will draw the line at jumping out of a plane, even WITH a parachute!!! but IРІР‚в„ўd love to try that fake skydiving where you're in front of that huge fan...that looks AWESOME!! I have a Bachelors (currently working on my Paralegal Certificate & my MasterРІР‚в„ўs), my mind works logically so not really into drama, IРІР‚в„ўm very centered, though I admit to having my moments. IРІР‚в„ўm into Communication (My MasterРІР‚в„ўs will be in РІР‚?Peacemaking & Conflict StudiesРІР‚в„ў). I feel very strongly about the connection between communication & relationships. Just as your dream job would combine something you are passionate about with something that challenges you, your dream relationship should be the same. It takes focus and commitment but you donРІР‚в„ўt mind because that person is your passion. It is paying attention to/studying that other person, it takes doing things without worrying about what you will get in return, it takes a lot of courage. ThatРІР‚в„ўs what I am looking for, a best friend; someone to be passionate about (and with), that is passionate about me!! As the saying goes РІР‚?The gold is in the darkРІР‚в„ў; youРІР‚в„ўll never know what youРІР‚в„ўll find if you donРІР‚в„ўt take that chance, so take the leap, try something new!

Date a soulmate from United States. I am a simple person and easy to get along with. I want a best friend and partner to share those special moments with. Honesty and loyality are very important to me. I value my family, friends, and love my daughter. Im a great listener, very giving, compassionate, romantic, and have a big heart. I've been told from many that I am very fun to be around, I always have a smile on my face. I enjoy life, im someone who loves the outdoors. I am looking for someone who can spark my eye. Someone who can make me laugh and just enjoy life with. Im looking for a long term relationship.

Meet a woman from Bakersfield, United States. My friends would generally describe me as fun, cheerful and full of life. I like to sing and laugh and enjoy life. I am a strong and passionate woman for a man that would be able to spend lots of time together doing the things we enjoy. Loyalty, faithfulness and honesty are of highest priority and exactly what you can expect from me in return. In a relationship I like to spoil my man. I am lookingso I need a strong man who knows who he is. An easy going, even tempered, type of guy who knows how to make a lady feel like a woman. In a relationship I am looking for a big guy, tall and stocky, who can wrap his arms around me and make me feel safe and protected, and if the chemistry is right, can throw me around in the bedroom, LOL. But don't get me wrong - I am not interested in casual sex. I joined Match.com to find that perfect someone to spend the rest of my life with - not a perfect man, as none of us is perfect, but that man who is perfect for me and I for him.
I work full time and am self sufficient. In addition to my job I have a small business restoring vintage furnishings and decor. So in my free time I am either treasure hunting at the local yard sales and thrift stores or I am out of town hawking my wares at the antique flea markets. I admire the vintage pin-up girl culture though I don't try to pull it off myself, and I love hot rods :)
When it comes to movies I will choose a spooky ghost or haunting story if one is available. My favorite TV shows as a kid were MASH and The Twilight Zone, LOL. Now-a-days I hardly watch TV at all, but prefer music.
I find my self attracted to the rocker, biker type and LOVE tattoos, though I don't have any yet.

Meet a soulmate from Bakersfield, United States. What can I say about my self I am a 47 year old widow and mother of 4 children. One biological and 3 step children, 3 boys, 1 girl. I am very proud to say they are all employeed. I love to go out and have fun weather it be going to happy hour, hiking, golfing, softball or just staying at home snuggled on the couch watching a good action movie. I am not much into girlie movies. I am a social worker and enjoy my job and will be going back to school in September to get my masters. It is all part of my grand plan to be able to retire early. I love to try new things and have new experiences. I love to travel and do believe that cruising is my favorite form of traveling. ? I have been looking into purchasing and learning to ride a motorcycle!
What am I looking for, someone to have fun with, someone to hold my hand and walk on the beach with, someone to share my dreams and desires with, someone who I can share my days triumphs and failures with, and someone for whom I can help make his dreams and desires come true.

What I am not looking for is someone that will smother me. I like my independence. I do not need someone to financially take care of me I own my home along with my bank. I do like to go out with a man who opens the door for me and treats me like a lady. I believe one of the most important parts of any relationship is communication. If you can talk about it then you can work it out or at least agree to disagree.

. I try to enjoy life to its fulliest. I love spending time with my family when I am not working. One of my favorite places to vacation is the beach. I don't like to be judged so ther for I try not to judge.

. The pessimist complains about the wind, the optimist expects the wind to change and the realist adjusts the sails. I am a cross between an optimist but more of a realist. Which one are you?
I don't sweat the small stuff, I find that it breeds anxiety and discontent, and I don't like to surround myself with people who create messes or are constantly finding themselves in a bind.
I DO like to surround myself with people who inspire me. I'm lucky to have a career where I am a witness to some pretty special people. I tend to root for the underdog, who for the most part are to me, the most genuinly true and passionate people on earth.
I am very independent and patient, my friends think i'm funny (but don't ask my kids) and I'm passionate about life. I love to laugh, I enjoy quiet moments and little things bring me joy just as much as the grand. I would love to travel and discover new places. I'm looking for someone who is ambituous, solid, considerate and someone who likes to have fun.
My entire family all have quads, we get together a few times a year to ride and we have a blast. I have three kids, two of which are grown.
I can write anything for anyone at any time, but I'm having a hard time writing about myself! Wait, maybe I shouldn't have said that...
