Date women from United States / California / Bakersfield, 51 year old

Date someone special from Bakersfield, United States. Internet dating: the final frontier. To seek out a new mate who is genuinely compatible, to boldly go to where I never believed I would go before.
After about a month on here, I realize I need to update my profile and be very frank about who I am and what I am looking for in a potential mate. I love life and I am very spiritual. I believe everything happens for a reason. I have had this spiritual shift due to my journey through chronic illness, the decision to divorce, and being in the lowest financial status in the country. This is not drama - it is life and the circumstances that made me the resilient person I am today. I am grateful for my journey so far, and look forward to days ahead.
I have a wonderful daughter who is about to enter high school and a great dog who keeps me walking! Oh, and I know I need to lose 50 lbs. It took great courage for me to post a current picture in my current body shape, but I am so much more and all I have is NOW. I am currently walking about 2 miles a day and do modified Yoga. I also swim on an occasional basis.
I am open to new paths for receiving the best God and the Universe have to offer me and I trust myself and intuition enough to know what will NOT work.
I am an advid reader and like to discuss philosophy, theology, literature and contemplate the universe. So if this stuff is not you, we will not be compatible. I would like to start a relationship with good conversation over coffee, a meal or a glass of wine.
If you put in your profile that you are great at pleasing a woman sexually, I will block your profile. (This is a subjective experience between two people not an issue of one person "being good). If you do not get this then we are not compatible.
If you put in your profile that you will do everything to make me happy and want the fairytale, etc, etc. , I will block your profile (This is overly idealistic and seems to border on neurotic --- I mean really - only I can make me happy - you can share in that happiness, and if you don't know this we are not on the same psychological/spiritual plane and are not compatible.
I want a partner who is an enlightened man who will love me and respect me as his equal. Someone who enjoys nerdy word play. (I really love to laugh!!!) Someone to share the journey with me. Could that be you?

Meet a soulmate from Bakersfield, United States. Hi,
Im a very young and groovy 51 yearold. These sites are so awkward, but I thought, well, let's give it a try, shall we?
II teach sign language and have 1 son. I am a Christian and pray you have a blessed day!

Date a woman from Bakersfield, United States. Why am I here? It's so hard to get out there after being out of the game for so long. I'm testing the waters. I have to admit that this is a bit intimidating.
I'm fiercly loyal and strong minded. I love spending time with people I love, sitting around a campfire, watching a good game of football, dancing, and gut laughing. l enjoy the simple blessings God has given me.
I'm looking 'the one', a best friend, someone who likes the simple things, someone who I can lean on after a long day. I would love to find a man who could love me and make me a priority, someone who is willing to share adventures with me.
I want to find someone to go dancing with, someone who can make me laugh again. I need someone who can accept the fact that I'm a bit loud sometimes. Someone who likes rock ballads, RB and even some heavy metal. When I find him, and I will find him one day, it will be perfect.
I admit that I have lived a somewhat sheltered life as far as seeing the world and all it has to offer, too busy raising a family, but I'm ready now.
I have absolutely no tolerance for jealousy or hot-headedness. I've been there, lived it, hated it. No thank you.

Meet someone special from California, United States. My friends say I'm fun, I love to smile, laugh,dance, go places and do things, love to ride harleys, and horses. I work as a Social Activity Director helping others to have fun in life. I like different types of people and am attracted to a nice smile, good funny sense of humor , and someone with good looks, and muscles ; ) I enjoy nice dinner out with drink and good music, and having fun! Bottom line is that I am looking for Mr. Right! Is that you ?

Date a soulmate from California, United States. WHERE ARE YOU HIDING hopefully we will find each other? I’m a vibrant, multicultural British lady with a warm smile and a positive attitude who aspires to that most elusive goal – a committed relationship with a happy, self-assured man who would see his perfect mate in me. I have to be truthful, my age is 55 but for search purposes on match, I put in a lower age - go figure :) It’s not so easy these days, is it – to find that person who would compliment and share your life, be your best friend and partner, retain their own identity and dreams but support yours with equal passion? Here’s hoping we find each other soon! I hope to share new adventures and explore new places with my match. My interests are pretty varied and range from golf/tennis/cycling/horseback riding (English of course) to deep sea fishing and scuba diving. Scuba diving in the UK was not fun but after suffering from the freezing cold, murky water and some very angry Pike, I wonder what it would be like to dive with you in warm, clear tropical waters? I prefer summer over winter, I enjoy being anywhere near the water. A Rugby/Cricket fan would be nice but I won't be holding my breath for that person here :-). I do love your footy and baseball as well. I am looking for someone that would accent my life and share things of interest with me. I am looking for someone that just doesn't want to be around me but wants to be a part of my life. Trips to the beach are always special and I’ll never turn down a surprise weekend trip or dinner and a movie with my perfect mate. Though I've traveled extensively throughout Europe and been to South Africa, almost moved there too, I feel like I’m just getting started exploring this side of the world. Hawaii hopefully this year and perhaps next year Australia/New Zealand for a month would be brill. I would love to go to Cabo San Lucas to deep sea fish and the Caribbean to cruise around the islands or to hike and explore Machu Pichu/Peru. I can imagine spending time with my match on a beautiful island surrounded by crystal blue water relaxing on the white sand sipping fruity drinks with little umbrellas in them! (or maybe an ice cold beer for you, if you prefer). If any of this sounds fun to you, we may be halfway there!The perfect match for me is a TALL, strong, dynamic man of class and character, with an outgoing, fun personality who enjoys being around people, trying new things, playing sports and keeping fit. My new friend lives a healthy and happy life today…is this you? (A cyclist would be a huge bonus or a golf nut but, I must warn you I do have a Hole in One other than that, my handicap is not playing enough) Did I mention I find TALL men REALLY REALLY ATTRACTIVE/SEXY. Maybe, the most important criteria: you can’t resist a classy lady with an adorable British accent! I believe that life is even more wonderful when it’s shared with a soulmate - someone who can be a best friend and partner in life - and he would agree. If you sense a connection here or would like to know more, drop me a line! Let’s start getting to know each other and see what adventures we can find! I'm wanting one deep connection, where we are both happy to get off Match. If you crave for the attention of so many winks and emails and can't let that go at some point, we're probably not going to work. **** a note on geography: I’m currently splitting time between Orange County and Bakersfield and planning to relocate to OC in the near future (if only the house market would improve!). UPDATE: I JUST GOT OFFERED A JOB IN IRVINE but am still working out details if it is at all cost effective. I AM ALSO INTERESTED IN MEETING NEW PEOPLE (FRIENDS) for outdoor/social activities, hiking, biking, movies, dinner, travel etc.
P.S. While I appreciate all your winks...I would prefer an email where you tell me something about yourself or why you think we are compatible. Also, if you haven't posted a photo you might not receive a reply

I enjoy good food, wine, music, movies and friends and family. I like new experiences and traveling to new places. I also enjoy being at home cooking, watching tv and playing games.
Looking for companionship, adult conversation and of course romance.

Date someone special from United States. Hi, IРІР‚в„ўm Stacy
IРІР‚в„ўm here to meet new people and possibly someone special. You know all those things we like to do for fun are so much more fun if you have someone enjoying them along with you. I think thatРІР‚в„ўs what itРІР‚в„ўs about. Sharing experiences and laughing together. So, a good sense of humor is important.
IРІР‚в„ўve been told that IРІР‚в„ўm smart and funny, but IРІР‚в„ўm a terrible Facebook friend or pen pal, so if you are in a land far away, or if you canРІР‚в„ўt or donРІР‚в„ўt want to meet in person, IРІР‚в„ўm afraid I will lose interest pretty quickly.
