Date a soulmate from Dana Point, United States. This low-key but adventurous lady is looking for a like-minded partner who enjoys discovering new places as well as spending quiet evenings at home or dining at cozy restaurants. A widow for two years, I now feel ready to share life with a fun, sensitive, caring, open minded and loving partner. Preferably you are retired so that we have lots of time together and the freedom to travel if we choose to. If you enjoy keeping fit, all the better. Although it would be great if you join me for the long daily walks and working out at the gym, if you enjoy other pasttimes, that's fine. I enjoy bicyling as well and like watching football and basketball games. I would expect that we might share some common interests but certainly have different ones as well. I also love hiking, and in general, being in beautiful mountainous areas. This love was fostered during the several years my late husband and I spent living and traveling fulltime through the western mountainous states in a 5th wheel RV. I also have a great love of history and have made many trips to Europe and hope to return. My favorite books are usually non-fiction accounts of historical events or historical fiction,
Two daughters and two granddaughters live in the area. I am from Ohio but have lived in Orange County from 1976 until 2006 and returned to the county in November 2011. I am a retired licensed Private Investigator, a job that was immensely rewarding. I also worked as a banquet planner and office manager. I am drawn to men who are organized, practical and open-minded, but who also like to have fun and laugh and try new experiences and explore new places. I would not expect my partner to share my views on everything. Interesting discourse and opinions make for more interesting relationships, in my view. Having met my late husband through Match.com in 2002, I trust that there is another wonderful, kind, interesting and loving man out there. I hope to hear from you!
Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I'm looking for a very best friend, that's where I start in a relationship.
I'm a retired widow living near the beach in South Orange County, California often travel to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in the winter. I am really beach and ocean oriented. I love to entertain, travel, garden and read. Candles are a must at dinner, no paper napkins in this tidy house! I'm not too serious to have simple fun; laughing is an important part of my life.
Sunday's find me in church, reading the NY Times, in the Fall, watching football and cooking up a storm or at the beach in the summer with a picnic dinner. "Monday night football" dinners at home are so special you better not call during the game. The FM in my home is tuned to 88.5, KSBR. Soft and mellow jazz is my favorite, but classical, Frank Sinatra, Ella, Shearing, Modern Jazz Quartet or Nora Jones can be heard also. I don't watch TV much other than CNN and Fox News for not more than an hour or so a day. I don't watch the "soaps". You won't find me in the gym but you may find me at the beach, harbor, bookstore.
I can mix a mean martini or a milkshake. I can grill, saute, broil and make fabulous homemade soups and big healthy salads. Dessert is always either crepes or ice cream. Breakfast out is my favorite meal, even at midnight. I appreciate serenity or a great theme party. I can wear jeans or a formal gown. If you have a tux, that's great but certainly not necessary. Spirituality is very important to me. I am not a high maintenance woman, I don't like to shop. I would like to have a partner in life, not necessarily a husband.
I am looking for a one woman man. I think I prefer widowed men as from my recent experience, most divorced men are still angry and/or carrying a lot of baggage. Show me that's not true.
This just gives you a "glimpse" of me. I have little or no baggage. (a small dog who seldom barks). I am a good communicator and enjoy conversations on a diverse number of topics! Most of all, I am a VERY good listener. I'd like to meet someone who sees the glass at LEAST "half full"; a man of good character who will appreciate the same in me.
I'm not lonely, I'm just lonesome for that perfect best friend, buddy and hand holding guy that makes me feel brilliant, funny, flirtatious, and loving. I would love to touch your neck as you drive....love you if you like my little dog who looks like "Daisy" and me. I"d love someone who would hold hands with me in church and would allow me to choose ties, belts and Dockers for you. I miss shopping for a guy. I'm soft, spiritual, sophisticated, sensual and intelligent. If you're looking for someone secure, both emotionally and financially, and looking for a best friend and loving relationship, that's me. I am not a "needy" person.
I'm an avid reader, mostly non-fiction, I love to garden and entertain and would love someone who could enjoy a quiet afternoon on the patio reading, helping me select the summer's flowers, and keep me company in the kitchen. Someone who knows when to light the candles for a dinner party, can converse on several subjects and is a good listener. We've all been there and done that, can you read between the lines in a discussion, are you really interested in what others have to say? Can you dance to Frank Sinatra in the kitchen? Can you enjoy an evening home without the TV on? Can you fly a kite or jump rope? Can you spend all day at the beach without being bored? Can you cuddle an extra hour on a rainy day? Can you find enjoyment in walking the dog somewhere new? Can you laugh at my jokes and play practical jokes? You're my kinda guy. I'm not looking to be a nurse or a purse but I'll open my heart and soul for the right man, cook, clean and I'll never break your heart. I'm sincere, social, sexy and simply want to enjoy life with someone very special. I've been widowed twice and still see the glass full.

Meet people from California, United States. I am a college graduate, and have many interests. I would love to be able to share ideas & interests with someone who feels equally curious. I like good movies, wine tasting, playing & singing ukulele songs, reading, listening to Books on Tape, lectures from the Teaching Company, boogie boarding & ocean swimming, walks at low tide, trying different ethnic foods, but love plain old pot roast & Mexican food too. Want to explore the world, I like river cruises. I like to learn about places I'm going, to enjoy the trip more, and also to learn more when I get home. Sharing with someone would enhance all the experiences. I need to rest, too,
