Date a soulmate from California, United States. My parents have been married for 39 years and still kiss each other goodnight EVERY night and even though I'm still a little grossed out :) really that's what I want too. Who do I think that person may be... well you need to be positive, reliable, stable - emotionally and financially (as I am), comfortable with yourself and can be comfortable with occasional silence. I want someone who makes me smile when i'm with you and when i think about you when you aren't around. Butterflies and chemistry are important so I'd rather meet you in person sooner than later in this crazy process that is Match.
About me- i'm easy going, calm but driven (I guess balanced would be a good term), a great listener, affectionate and caring, not too high maintenance (I love camping, dive bars and hole in the wall restaurants as much as a wine bar or a 5 star meal). My friends say I'm fun, friendly and up for whatever (I agree but it may take me a bit to open up). I have a terrific daughter -she's 5-1/2 (as she likes to point out) and a great career that both keep me very busy. I've been divorced roughly 2 years and have spent most of my free time reconnecting with friends and going out and just doing whatever I feel like doing which is refreshing after years of raising a baby. I am now at the point that I want to have someone special to spend my free time with, exploring this beautiful place we are lucky enough to call home, sharing a glass of wine and dinner, or running away for the weekend and eventually hopefully finding that someone I want to kiss every night before going to bed when we're old.
We are all really busy people so let's just start with mutual winks and take it from there :)
Oh and I can ski and sort of golf but it has been years and wouldn't mind picking them back up. As much as I would love to, I probably can't drop everything and run off to a foreign country at a moments notice - reading about all of you that can has made me a bit jealous :)
