Date men and women from United States / California / El Cerrito - page 5

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm creative designer/professional with a grounded and passionate personality...and a worldview inspired by Buddhist compassionate ideals. My passion for life is built upon self-inquiry/reflection, spiritual exploration and a genuine interest in people. I love dancing, yoga, tennis, dogs, camping, racquetball, kayaking, movies, eating out, day trips - the usual activities, but with the right person, ones that offer the sublime 'stuff of life'.
I'm also raising a beautiful, independent and thoughtful 12 yo boy. As he approaches teenhood, I find I have more to give my outside world: social life, friendships, community.
I'm seeking partnership: best friends who share humor and passion, and enjoy just spending time together. For me, a successful relationship requires a fundamental comfort zone between us, shared humor and passion - and perhaps above all, two people willing to compromise and hold a generous spirit at its core. I also know that a solid relationship requires a fairly high level of introspection, and a willingness to hold communication as the sacred/central key in navigating the tenuous waters of life/love/partnering. For that reason, I'm more inclined to be compatible with those who've been married or had long relationships before, and have come out stronger and ready to do it again (but better :)).
You may want to play tennis or come swing dancing with me - or not. Ideally we have a few common interests, but I also think outside friends and activities keep us fresh. I'm highly affectionate/physical, but also independent and know how to take care of myself. I have a job I love, a son I adore, friends, family, hobbies and a rich life - but having been both single and in LTRs, I know which one suits me better.
Men I fall for tend to be grounded/authentic, tender/compassionate, very affectionate/physical, love to laugh and make me laugh, are able to be outgoing when called for but are introverted at heart, and may get outraged at the right wing but ultimately don't sweat the small stuff.
If you're looking for someone grounded (I seem to get called that a lot), who laughs easily, loves deeply, and has all the good stuff to share, feel free to say Hi.

Meet a soulmate from El Cerrito, United States. I often see the old couple walking hand in hand down the street and I admire the genuine care and love within them that they share with each other. It can be quite difficult to find a compatible match, a life partner to grow old with, but I am patient. Going in and out of short relationships is not what I am looking for. I am seeking someone to create sweet memories with, develop deep trust, and who has a truly caring nature about themselves, so that eventually a deep compatible relationship (or even a marriage) could be a possibility and become a reality.
I believe in "love at the first sight" but it does take time to know someone. I usually listen more than I talk. I am often ironic and humorous with a good heart, and I love people who make fun of themselves and can accept themselves and others for who they are. I think clear and honest communication is very important. So I am looking for someone who is able to communicate and share their thoughts, ideas, and difficulties in life. openly and sincerely.
I am looking for someone similar to myself. honest, witty, thoughtful, loving, and financially secured. The rest is chemistry.

Meet men and women from California, United States. Hello ,,,Before you decide to read all this...My last day on Match will be 6/4. After that date my account will be deactivated. If you want to contact me please send an email through match....Thanks
First of all, thanks for showing some interest and reading this. Presently I am living a full life, however finding that someone special will be a positive addition. I am a very active person and I'm always out and about during my weekends. I enjoy walks in Tilden or in the city. I am someone who is very adaptable...I love the city and the country. I am a culture vulture….I love museums, the symphony, jazz and yes a some rock �n roll is fine by me too. But at the same time, I enjoy camping and other outdoor activities. At the moment, I work in Special Education where I work with children who have physical as well as developmental disabilities. The job has taught me a lot about myself as well as others. I have worked in the past as a classical musician and have travelled extensively and lived abroad which included playing in an orchestra as well as working on a horse ranch! I have a great sense of humor but I also have a serious side. I keep up with current events and I enjoy a friendly discussion about them. I’m passionate about public education, the environment and the arts. Friendships are important to me and I have many close friends. I enjoy being with people such as having friends over or visiting them for a simple meal and maybe watching a movie. A good day might begin with reading the NY Times, taking a walk, going to a museum, listening to some live music in the evening...A better day would be doing the same but with a partner!!
So here are some questions: Do you have a great sense of humor? How about a sense of what is right? Are you someone who can be kind? generous? engaged? Are you affectionate?, Do you like kids? It is important to me that you have a healthy lifestyle, be physically active and that you take care of yourself. I try to eat healthy for the most part (french fries are a weakness)... I’m into dark chocolate not drugs or heavy drinking. If this turns out to be the romance of the century, then we will have a century to romance…in other words, let’s develop a good friendship and then take it from there…If you like what you have read, please send an email rather than a wink....

Date a soulmate from California, United States. The kids are almost grown, and this shy Mom and entrepreneur is looking for love after being out of the game for a long time. Easy-going fun or love for the long-term, either would be lovely.
You are like me: mature and happy with yourself, active, sincere. Laugh easily, get bowled over by the beauty of this Earth. Politically progressive and spiritually seeking, but you don't take yourself too seriously.
Bonus points if you are available Wednesdays or Fridays during the day!

Meet a woman from El Cerrito, United States. New pictures - April 2012
I've been lucky to meet many nice guys on match, but obviously haven't found "the one" yet. Men I've met tell me most women have a list of criteria their looking for. I suppose we all do, but I don't think many guys would be able to accurately guess what the top items on my list are, so . . . just for fun I'll share them for all those interested in reading. Maybe it'll help us find eachother?
TOP 5 CRITERIA (not necessarily in any order) I'M LOOKING FOR IN A PARTNER:
- prefers all races for his date or has no race preference for his date since we are one human family
- believes in God and is genuinely accepting and respectful all the world's religions
- has raised his own or someone else's child(ren) and is a good father
- likes his job and (even if he complains about it sometimes) feels he's contributed in important ways to the community/society
- is reasonably psychologically and emotionally aware - at least of himself
So that's you. A little more about me. I've enjoyed a successful Human Resources career, specializing in employee benefits and retirement. Have been dabbling in acting for the past 30 years and am having fun seeing what more I can accomplish as actress. Would love to be forced to cut back to part time with the HR career because I'm getting so much acting work! Maybe you're now pursuing a passion you've always wanted to to more with?
I enjoy most all the arts, love easy hiking (which could be more accurately described as nature walks), don’t object to river rafting (the kind tame enough to take children along) and am fairly accomplished at horseback riding – all kinds, all terrains. I’m interested in seeing any good movie, regardless of genre and love going out to dinner and talking. I'd love to find a partner to share these and other activities with. Maybe cooking healthy organic meals at home, watching dvds, reading books? Maybe some of his special interests.
If this sounds generally good to you, I hope you'll write or wink soon.

Date a soulmate from United States. I am a natural woman with subtle and sexy style. I am very honest, trustworthy and a sense of humor. ( love to laugh) I might do something silly to make a person laugh. My family is very important to me. I am passionate. I look for the connection in people. I like good food, excercise and travel.

Meet someone special from United States. I like my work as a lawyer but am missing a personal connection with someone. Looking for someone who likes to hang out, travel, is interested in social issues and likes an occasional adventure. Someone with a good sense of humor and who is irreverant is a must. I'm not interested in dressing up or fancy dinners. I prefer doing simple down-to-earth things. I like thinkers who have some interests they are passionate about. Smart is good. No Republicans only because I've never met one that I've had anything in common with. After reading many profiles, I'm struck by the number of men who seem to define themselves by their physical activities/exploits and list a whole ton of athletics they like to engage in in their leisure time. It just doesn't seem balanced, to me. Physical activity is fine, I like to walk, go to the gym and swim. But what's my life really like? Work, come home, feed the animals, watch tv, read and that's about it. I'm not complaining---I'm rather content with my life. I would like to have someone else in my life--to be mutually supportive--but that doesn't mean we have to be joined at the hip or participate in all of each other's hobbies. For what it's worth, my dream guy is Detective Goren on Law and Order. Smart, smart and smart....
