Date men and women from United States / California / Berkeley, 46 year old

Date a man from California, United States. I would describe myself as a creative artistic person with many interests who can enjoy being outdoors as well as a quiet evening at home. I'm most comfortable around my friends and people who I really enjoy spending time with. My friends consider me very trusting and often confide in me. You’ll often see me picking up my sketch book to draw for awhile, or strumming on my guitar.
On weekend mornings you will usually find me at coffee shops, or a favorite breakfast/brunch place in Berkeley. I have a passion for exploring new places and being exposed to new people, new cultures and new perspectives on life. Many of my interests are in the arts but I also enjoy wine tasting, hot springs, bed and breakfasts, swing dancing, dining out, small towns, and exploring all the bay area offers. Growing up in Chicago, I consider myself spoiled to live here!
My ideal match is someone who is equally passionate about what’s important in her life. I’m looking for someone who not necessarily has the exact same interests as me but rather we share some of the same and also have other interests. I’m the type of person who often enjoys learning and discovering new things.
Finding humor in everyday situations is something that appeals to me. Thanks for reading!

Meet men and women from California, United States. I have been in the Bay Area for about a year and I think I'll stay here for the rest of my life -- love it!
Now, I'm looking for a good relationship with just the right man -- someone who is openly affectionate, loving, honest, kind and ready to take the time to enjoy all the finest things in life. Music, food, travel -- all the things that are more fun for two.
I'm a relaxed person who has fully recovered from a life of working too hard. I'm now interested in enjoying life -- the stressful part is all behind me.
I used to be a real estate developer -- it was a life of too-much work and high financial risk. But now I'm a passive holder of residential income properties -- it's a life of no work and almost no risk! I manage things from my home office, dressed in pajamas.
I get up every morning, step out on my deck and sip a cup of tea while gazing at the panoramic view stretching from the San Mateo Bridge to Marin while petting my cat, Queenie, and thinking about what a great place I've moved to.
I love to watch the fog roll around Nob Hill, the Golden Gate Bridge and Angel Island ... or the sun kiss the skyscrapers of the Financial District.
Meanwhile, I'm seeking for new ways to bring meaning to life. I just finished a Master's in Demography at UCB and I'm working on becoming a freelance writer of fact-based nonfiction. My professional background is economics.
But mostly, I'm hoping to have a satisfying personal life here in this wonderful, vibrant city.
I'm great with teenagers and have no problem with a man who has joint custody of his children.
I'd like to get out and explore the city, Napa, the Sierras, the beach ... have some great times and build a loving relationship with someone important to me.
