Date men and women from United States / California / Corona del Mar, 48 year old

Date someone special from Corona del Mar, United States. I guess the idea here is to give you some flavor for what I am all about.. hopefully after reading this you won't be rushing to brush your teeth but rather wanting a bigger taste ;-) I think my life experiences make me extremely unique and apparently I must have some decent qualities because I have been blessed with great relationships with extraordinarily beautiful, amazing and intelligent women my entire life.. so then why am I here you might ask?? Allow me to provide some background that hopefully you can appreciate.. First, I am not afraid of commitment as I was married to an unbelievable girl who tragically passed away a number of years ago, and yes, that experience did factor into my remaining single. Additionally, my daughter was 2 1/2 months old at the time and I have raised her on my own ever since.. she is now 14 and has been my life's investment. She has taught me so much about unconditional love and made me a much better person in the process. Consider too that I have also built 2 businesses and held down an Executive Management job as well and I think you will agree that I didn't have a lot of time to devote to a serious relationship. That was then and this is now.. these experiences have put me in a spot where I know the true value of a great woman much better than any man you will ever meet. I would love to meet a girl with great style, intelligence, humor and glowing smile. I have dated enough fashionistas that I have been left with a decent sense of style and a great appreciation for a woman that knows how to put herself together from extremely casual to the dressing to the nines. You will never see me flinch at the price of your shoes or handbags.. haha. My dad was a Navy Seal so needless to say I was raised with a code of honor and chivalry, never once did I ever see my mother walk through a door she opened on her own. I grew up in what most would consider "the hood" and I wouldn't trade it.. odd to say that but I think it provided me with the strength to handle everything that life would throw at me in the years to come. I also played hockey back in the day so you don't need to worry about my masculinity whatsoever ;-) My life has been a crazy ride and there has been both great fun and tragedy along the way.. I don't think a lot of men could have handled some of the hurdles I have faced.. the peeks and valleys might have done them in, I am proud of keeping my life on an even keel even in the greatest storms.. and I think that has been a significant reason why people are drawn to me. Meet me once and people tell me they can sense that strength. I am a crazy romantic at heart, and while I have had strong feelings for people over the years it's been a long time since I can say I was in love, I would like to be able to say that again. I am extremely passionate and need that in a partner too.. if you ever saw the old movie "American Gigolo" with Richard Gere I once had a girlfriend tell me that I was heartbreakingly, dangerously romantic like that.. I think I have outgrown the dangerous part and hopefully the heartbreaking too.. haha. Don't put it past me to do something completely random and a bit nuts, but I promise not to embarrass you! I like to lead an active lifestyle and would expect that in a partner as well. Traveling is mandatory. You can see that I like boats and bikes and you should too.. or at least one of them! I enjoy a morning Harley ride up PCH to a cute breakfast place and then maybe meeting friends for a day on the boat.. life is short and you need to love to laugh, if you don't smile a lot then we won't get along in the end. If you have your health and your loved ones there truly are no bad days and I live that way. I have high expectations and you should too.. not sure I will meet "that girl" here but I figure it's like lotto.. you have to have a ticket to have a chance to win so why not! All the best to you in your searches.. Stay classy San Diego!

Meet people from Corona del Mar, United States. I love the outdoors and great conversation with friends and family. I enjoy being healthy (mentally and physically), being active, yoga, meditation and am constantly attracted to new experiences. I am a well-balanced and intelligent and energetic. In relationships I seek mental stimulation as well as physical. I love to learn and seek and partner where we are both teachers and students....
I am attracted to someone who isn’t afraid to speak their mind, is intelligent, passionate, affectionate, confident, self-aware, a good communicator and appreciates all natures wonderful gifts. I appreciate someone who can challenge me, who can have a good debate about a topic and express their passion while remaining open to others views. I believe that it's only when you confront the fundamental absurdity of life that you begin to live honestly.
I love to be around people who have a passion for life. And an 'open' soul. I am always learning new things. I also find the more that I heal things in my life that I didn't realize needed healing, the more vibrantly I am able to live. Without the weight of 'unforgiveness', life is so much more fluid.
Humility allows us to be ourselves – we no longer need to prove to everyone that we’ve got it all together. Humility allows us to learn and grow – when we admit our weaknesses, we have taken the first step in learning to address them. and humility allows people into our lives – true, authentic friendships are not possible without the ability to be completely transparent with one other.
I believe......Our words reveal our thoughts;
our manners mirror our self-esteem;
our actions reflect our character;
and our habits predict the future!

Date men and women from Corona del Mar, United States. Hi there! If I had one word to describe myself, it would be "Active". If I had one word to describe you, it would also be "Active". Please note that both those are Active with a capital A. If I had one word to describe us, it would be "Chemistry", with a capital C, which is not something you know online until you actually meet someone in person.

Meet a man from Corona del Mar, United States. I love travel and adventure. I have done a fair amount of traveling and look forward to doing more. I am hopeing to find someone to have a long maybe life long relationship with. I still think I would like to have children but if I found the right person and they didn't want them it isn't a deal breaker. I love conversations about people, places, politics, philosophy, science, etc. I enjoy time with friends doing almost anything. I don't care much for watching sports unless I know one of the players personally but I do like the get togethers surrounding a game. I am as happy at home watching a movie as I am spending a night on the town. I currently own a resturant in Laguna Beach but it is not something I love and hope to be free of it in the not too distant future so I can travel freely and enjoy my life. I am looking to meet someone friendly, happy, compationate and smart.. Someone interesting that will bring new things into my life and be good to talk to.

Date men and women from Corona del Mar, United States. I am always smiling but always looking for someone who makes me smile even more. I have one daughter I have raised myself so proud of her. She is my life I am truly grateful.....Looking for someone that wants to be in a relationship - who wants to take care of me, not my daughter.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. You will find me to be a clever, complex, fun blonde who possesses a sense of adventure, but also represents stability and traditional values. I am seeking an outstanding man of similar caliber and means.
There is so much beauty and art to see and to feel--how grateful I am for each moment we walk the earth.
Although a gracious lady, I have also spent time in wild places "roughing it," and find nature a tonic for the body and the soul. I write about popular culture.
From my family I learned love, respect, and joy. I have a few select friends for life and I cherish them.
You are a grounded, one-woman man--the kind who seeks to rebuild rather than to demolish.
I like classic clothes and classic movies. It Happened One Night and The African Queen are favorites.
Show me what you like to do!

Date people from California, United States. Hmmm...about me...I'm not perfect...as much as I'd like to convince you (and myself) that I am, it's not working for me...my ego just isn't that big, I do have my moments however and it is a fun frolic! I'm not expecting perfection in you either...but the cover of "Men's Health" would be a nice bonus, yet not essential.
I do not take myself too seriously, I enjoy a good laugh, often at my own expense(better mine than yours, and know I will take the opportunity to make it yours if it's left out there to grasp)! I am passionate about being the best person I can be everyday with the knowledge that some days will be better than others...C'est la vie.
I have a great business, so my work is an important component of my life and that means all the networking that goes along with it, which is really just an opportunity in disguise. If you were to ask my colleagues (which wind up being friends) to describe me in business they would likely tell you that I'm a strong, concerned and compassionate leader, ok, I just bored myself too...
Lighter stuff...I am an independent, free-spirited woman who loves to be treated like a lady, with all the trimmings and without the high maintenance...does that even make sense? It will if you take the time to get to know me. I believe you'll find that I'm a down to earth, grounded, kind, generous, caring, true to myself, and my heart is in the right place. I have this great quality, I tend to follow my heart...at the same time I keep my wits about me, it really means I listen and often follow to my intuition, it's an amazing quality that sometimes takes others a little time to get accustomed to! So, if I ever say, "I don't know it just feels right, let's go with it", you'll have to at least pretend to play along once in awhile.
An important part of who I am is that I am joyful and grateful for the gifts I am provided with everyday...ok, I'm not Pollyanna, I am however very optimistic.
Qualities I am looking for in a partner...oh, I have to do this too, lol;-D Here goes, honesty, integrity, spirituality (whatever that means for you), active, passionate, communicative, supportive and someone with the desire to work toward mutual goals, oh and did I mention HONESTY! Oh my, I almost forgot romantic, what does romance look like...I'm a little old fashioned when it comes to this. A sunset walk on the beach, doors opened, flowers for no particular reason, it just has to be genuine and not over the top.
Activities I enjoy, cycling, skiing, paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming, hiking, (can you tell I'm active) walks on the beach...and the list goes on, suffice it to say I will try anything once...if I don't like it you will know, and if I do WATCH OUT!

I love my family and friends and am extremely thankful for my sonРІР‚в„ўs happiness, independence and success.
I believe in making a difference in people’s lives…staying humble and being grateful for what I have instead of what I don’t have. I don’t look the other way if someone needs a helping hand.
I adore the innocence of children and respect the wisdom of the elderly. I love nature and respect ALL of God's creatures.
I am drawn to a man who has a great sense of humor, healthy spirit, possess a positive outlook and a strong character. A man who has integrity and who can bring out the best in others through his kind and caring nature.
