Date women from United States / California / Ben Lomond

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Hello.
Long walks in the redwoods, reaching out oneРІР‚в„ўs hand to help someone in need, and caring for family and rescued pets are high on the list of things I do/enjoy. I approach life with laughter and choose to see the positive in all situations. My interests are varied and to numerous to list here but basically, I just like to learn. In the past several years, I've gone to massage school, attempted to learn Chinese, and am currently in a Psychology program (part-time).
I am fortunate to have a great group of friends. They are supportive, fun to be around and really, really smart. I am happy with what I do for a living. While I enjoy my job, I also have interests outside of my field that at the moment are even more important (and interesting) to me.
Ultimately, I'm looking for a best friend and partner. Chemistry is so tricky and nearly impossible to tell from an email. Nothing replaces meeting in person. So, if you think you might be interested, let's talk. If after that, you still think you might be interested, that's great; and if you decide you aren't, thatРІР‚в„ўs ok too....
Thanks for checking me out.

Date a soulmate from United States. I have never found "my perfect match" but I would imagine a person who is happy, loving, caring and considerate. A man independent, comfortable and confident with himself. Someone looking to enjoy time with another with no expectations to control or change. Someone who loves animals and children, likes home projects and can have fun watching the cement dry.

Meet a woman from Ben Lomond, United States. I am a single mom (no ex, just this 2-for-1 package), living a good life, but would like a lifetime partner to share with. I'm an accomplished professional who leaves work behind on the weekends and goes chasing cows on horseback or playing music on the neighbors' lawns. I'm like balance and consideration in a relationship. I don't need the "high life," but would like a reason to break out a ballgown once a year and get dressed up for dinners out from time to time. I work hard and play hard, but enjoy my downtime in front of a good movie. My daughter is a priority and finding a man for our lives who enjoys a charming little one is very important.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm a recently retired woman who would like to meet someone to spend time together going places, doing fun activities and just hanging out with and what happens happens or doesn't. My friends find me funny and a good listener and someone they can confide in and I want the same in a partner. I spend time with family members and a few close friends. I love animals, their so honest and real. My daughter who lives in New York, most important person in my life. I like to cook and am trying to develop a habit with exercising, aren't we all. I'm looking for someone who is open to a good time going places doing things, laughing and exploring. I live in Ben Lomond, Ca not far from Monterey, not far from San Jose. Ben Lomond is in the Santa Cruz Mountains, very rural with lots of trees. I love the outdoors. I'm interested in spending time with someone who enjoys travel, long or short trips, likes movies, is easy going and doesn't take life too seriously. I haven't had a partner in many years so I feel like a teenager doing this "dating thing." I love the water, the beach, the Redwoods and all of nature.
I'm interested in someone who enjoys the same interests and yet has their own and doesn't always need someone to be there. If I feel close to someone I'm very touchy/feely and enjoy being close, holding hands, snuggling on the couch. At this point I'm interested in spending time to get to know someone and if that turns into more, so much the better. As we get older we all have some baggage and hopefully we've learned from it. I know I have. I don''t want to change anyone or have them try to change me. Honest and open communication and consideration and kindness and following the Golden Rule is my style.
To me, spending time with someone and talking brings out what a person values in life. When someone meets someone thats really where the relationship begins and if it continues so much the better. I have a hard time getting very personal on such an open forum. I'm a very kind and giving person and have no problem standing up for myself.
I have a bit of a sarcastic humor and not everyone gets it and I must say I have become jaded over the years. I somehow survived the 60s especially living them in Santa Cruz. I'm fairly outspoken on some subjects and could care less about others. I always vote but am becoming more apolitical every day. My match needs to be liberal but not obsessive.
I worked a non-profit agency wearing different hats; working with the mentally ill/drug addicted adults, very difficult work. My father just past away so I have a lot of open time and hope to do some volunteer work at the animal shelter in Santa Cruz. Nursing has been my primary career and I always keep my license active in case I have to or want to go back to it. My last job was 9 years of craziness, I'll go into later.
I'm a water person, not necessary to be in it all the time but near it. I love boats, the wind and the sails. I love to go to Tahoe and Yosemite and the Grand Canyon is my most spiritual place. My match needs to enjoy the beauty of nature and animals..
I'm not looking for someone who I have to do everything with every day. Sports are not my thing, although I do enjoy going to a baseball game once in awhile. If our activities differ I can always find something to do and don't resent my partners passions or fun if some is outside mine. But its very necessary for me to cuddle and watch TV together or take a walk together cook and play house together. I would put more pictures up but my ability to work the computer is limited. None are of me "dressed up" but I do clean up very well. I'm not very photogenic, look better in person. People are surprised when I tell them my age. I act and look much younger than my age, whatever it means to "act your age". Thank you for reading this and good luck to all of us. Everyone deserves love and friendship.
