Date women from United States / California / Emeryville - page 2

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Coy and nonchalant best describes me when meeting someone new. Once I get to know you, though, I open up and tend to speak more freely - those who know me best describe me as eccentric, happy and adventurous with a fiery temperament. I especially enjoy making people smile when I play piano.
Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, I enjoyed going to the beach (until I saw Jaws) as well as cultural activities like Japanese Classical Dance, going to operas and, of course, playing piano. I moved up to the Bay Area about 8 years ago and finally decided to try match.com to meet new, interesting people who like to go on "adventures" whether it's in the bay area or around the world. I love cooking, hiking, dancing, yoga, knitting, writing, martial arts...my next big adventure is to visit the floating sky garden in Osaka and I wouldn't mind trying rock-climbing too! WARNING about my cooking...I tend to "hog" the kitchen.
What I'm looking for is someone who is thoughtful and considerate towards everyone. He would be adventurous and enjoy trying new things--I'll even try some of your favorite hobbies too. Our first adventure together could include visiting a museum, walking around and playing tourist in San Francisco, hiking on Angel Island or chatting over coffee at a chic cafe.
If you speak Japanese too that's great because I'm currently studying this language and would love to practice it with someone or we could study the language together. If you like my profile, send me an e-mail or a wink - I almost always respond.

Meet a woman from California, United States. Originally from Michigan... I just moved here from New York. I have been here for a couple of months now and am looking forward to exploring the city, the East Bay, and all the other fantastic destinations in the area.
The self summary (eyes rolling)… Well I really like to laugh and think things are funnier than the rest of the world. I am a fantastic audience if you are practicing a stand-up routine. Since I spend most of my day laughing, I’ve been told that I spend most of my day smiling. Yoga has had a huge impact on me. I have been practicing for a few years now and I find that it helps me keep things in perspective and focus on what’s most important in life.
I am happiest at the beach, but I also enjoy playing a good round of golf, watching a game, going out for an amazing dinner, whether it's fancy or fast, drinking a great cab, rocking out in the city, getting out of town for a vacation, playing in the surf, or staying in for a movie. I love spending time outdoors. That was one thing I missed in New York. (urban nature is not the same) I also enjoy competition of any kind. Give me something that I can win at and I will surely beat you. I enjoy traveling and am eager to see the world and learn as much as I can along the way. I have two life goals right now, learn to play the sweet guitar that I bought and learn to surf. Pure bliss for me.... boogie boarding until the sun goes down.
Now for my theories on the thing that has brought us to this site....I know you were waiting for this part.....I am looking for someone who makes me the best version of myself, someone who challenges me and enjoys being challenged in return. Really, it all comes down to chemistry. When you meet you either click with someone or you don’t. It’s that simple. With this online thing, I feel like you just have to give it a whirl and see what happens. People take it too seriously. I just want to have a few laughs, see if there is a connection, and if there is see where that goes.…sometimes you just have to close your eyes and jump.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm self employed 12 years at "Swayze's Tumbling Toddlers". I love to be outside. I love the water, ocean, beach and spending time with my kids laughing & hanging out shopping with my girlies. Taking day trips to the coast or mountains or sandwiches and wine on the beach. I enjoy traveling, this can be a day trip to the coast or a week long vacation exploring somewhere distant. Other things I enjoy include trips to Tahoe, Monterey and San Francisco. For me it is more about the company than the destination. Really with the right company I can find happiness In just about anything. I feel like it is what you make of it.

. I spend most of my time traveling as a nurse. Apart from traveling and working I like to spend time with my family whether we go out for a movie, spend a day at the beach, play racquetball at our local YMCA, or just make jokes around the table after a big meal. I like to be active & I am always up for a new adventure! I have a very high sense of humor meaning, almost anything can make me laugh! I enjoy someone with good conversation & a good sense of humor. I am so lucky to have three wonderful children. My oldest daughter is 24 & two sons, 22 & 14. I am originally from the country of Panama but have lived in the U.S. since I was 16. I am bilingual, fluent in Spanish. I am a very hard worker and appreciate everything I have gained in my life. I'm not looking for someone who is perfect but I will certainly not settle for anything less than what I deserve. The saying goes, "If you can't handle me at my worst, then you do not deserve me at my best." I'm recently single, looking for someone to have a good time with, laugh with. Could it be you? ; )

. Saying something about myself here almost feels like answering the interview question, "Tell me about yourself". And some people answer it better than others. I'm not here to sell myself but I'd like to think myself as a kind and thoughtful person.
I enjoy meeting new people and learning about them. I enjoy having interesting conversations over coffee/tea. I'm open to chatting and exchaning emails for while until we get to know each a little.

. ok, chances are, you are probably dead wrong for me, zero match. you know they lie about those percentages?
you really don't even need to keep reading, i think there is probably a fascinating documentary on HBO you can catch. i think it just started.
it's for the best really, that we're not a match. you pretty much dodged a bullet.
i mean, thank god i don't have a ton of pictures posted - you would not believe how hideous i am! you would probably be so disgusted you would just delete your account. you'd see my picture pop up on your 'new matches' one morning and spit out your coffee.
then there's the whole 'boring' thing. who has time for fun activities when there are all these cats to hoard?
well, ok, i do make it to Ye Olde Rennaissance Faire, so that probably counts as a hobby. once a year i get to strap on my furry faux goat legs and play my pan flute with the coven - heaven!
oh and i have kids of course - even more complicated, i know! but soon i'll have an empty nest though! my son just moved out finally (he is so crazy on the meth, like cuckoo! cuckoo!) and my daughter is heading to LA to work as an exotic dancer while she auditions for reality shows. and no, it's not technically "stripping" if you start the dance already naked, lol! my ex keeps freaking out about it but he's not even up for parole for another year so we're not sweating it really.
still here reading? well ok then! game on - you've been warned.
