Date women from United States / California / Berkeley, 41 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. IРІР‚в„ўll do my best to describe myself leaving some room for discovery and just the right amount to entice you (hopefully). I can be direct at times, but itРІР‚в„ўs always coupled with sweetness and a healthy dose of humor. I also have the uncanny ability to make the best out of any situation which means I know how to have a good time. IРІР‚в„ўm extremely down-to-earth, friendly, curious and enjoy deep conversations over small chat. I consider myself more of an extrovert and thrive best around people but definitely need down time to slow down. People always tell me their darkest secrets. Love music, good food and trying out new restaurants and have a sense of adventure whether itРІР‚в„ўs exploring new places, travel or trying something new. Passionate person. I enjoy exercise and staying in shape, but IРІР‚в„ўm not the hard-core athletic type. I support anyone who is though :) I do yoga and hiking, plan to get a bike soon (itРІР‚в„ўs been a while, since the last two were stolen) and hope to learn how to surf one of these days and perhaps play the guitar. The two are on my bucket list. Love music and seeing bands live in mostly small venues. Love the ocean. DonРІР‚в„ўt spend a lot of time watching TV, though the one show I have to watch is Mad Men. I sometimes watch Daily Show, Weeds, SNL, sometimes sports.
I grew up in the Bay Area, but have lived other places and traveled quite a bit (for work and socially). I attended college in Southern California. I've been at the same job for 6.5 yrs.
My match? Open to adventure, curious about life and exploring. A man that can make light of a situation, figure out a solution instead of letting something defeat him. Good sense of humor. Comfortable enough is own shoes to allow me to be my complete self.

Meet a woman from California, United States. I'm always impressed by an easy smile and a keen mind. I'm especially impressed by a kind, thoughtful person willing to live life to the fullest - whatever that means to them. I'm allergic to folk who keep themselves confined in boxes and aren't solution oriented (no whiners please :)
How do I define kindness? You know the type, the person that holds the door for the person behind them or helps to pick up a stranger's fallen goods? Pretty simple really...incase you don't read the rest of my profile please note I do have a (big) dog and if you're scared, allergic to or irritated by dogs, I am not the new friend for you!
If that sounds like you then wake up early, grab breakfast, hike a mountain, run a trail- explore a different culture, take a cooking class, go to a champagne tasting- travel a new road! I'm new to the Bay Area so I'm ready to explore.
If I don't respond to you please don't take it personally - and best of luck on your search!

Date someone special from California, United States. I just moved back to the bay area last year after being in LA for 7. I went to college and lived in NYC for 8. I am happy to be back in the place I love most, enjoying gardening, the wide selection of good produce and quality cotton prints, the outdoors, and watching my home sports teams on tv.
I'd like to meet someone I think is great.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Intelligent, attractive, down-to-earth, easygoing. Passionate about what excites me. Attending a well respected institution on the east coast but here for the summer and bicoastal for the next year until I return to the bay area.

Date a woman from United States. I was watching PBS and a short segment came on that was taken from NPR. It was about a husband and wife who were advanced in years and the husband was terminally ill. They talked about how their love had grown and what their life was like together, and how her life would change when he was gone. He had written her a small love letter every day of their marriage and you could hear in her voice the pain she felt knowing she would soon loose him. I cried and cried. I realized then that for all of the things I have, have accomplished and have done...that type of love is the one thing I have not had but deeply want.
I don't need money (I have my own) or fancy things. I just need a man who wants to love me and be loved. I could drone on and on about my interests and accomplishments but I have read enough profiles to know that eventually they all sound the same. So, if you fit my criteria please let me know.

Meet someone special from United States. I'm a smart, hardworking, and giving person looking for someone who will have my back no matter what (and I'll be there for him too!).

I love to cook, watch movies, shop, and travel. My friends and family are everything to me, so the person I'm looking for should have similar values.
