Date women from United States / California / Fairfax

Date a woman from United States. About Me:
I am a tone, educated (grad degree), honest, capable, hard working, spontaneous and fun outdoor-type woman. I am generous. I like to gain trust. Friends first is great. I enjoy a nice wine once in a while, spontaneous fun and some sports.
I am athletic and fit. I can hike, scuba and snorkle, love a good dog walk, ride horses, read books, watch movies. I am a sensitive, very passionate and sensual and open-minded. I am upfront, no games please, sometimes shy, silly, humorous, compassion, warrior-like, and soulful. I love to travel and dance the tango. Been to Thailand, Costa Rica, Ireland and more.
More About You: Someone who loves the outdoors, is athletic, confident, cute/handsome, sexy, loves family and friends...I am looking for an honest man who makes an honest dollar. Someone who is truly kind. Values a good relationship. Enjoys community. Appreciates other points of view, cultures, and independence in their partner. Open hearted, sensual, kisses great, maybe has a wild streak, eats well, enjoys being a man's man and can also do the sophisticated parts (dinner parties, culture). Keeps in shape. Loves to laugh and play! Interested in a LTR but enjoys friends also. Living life and seeing how things evolve.

Meet a woman from Fairfax, United States. Looking for love? Yes, please.
So we're clear, I realize this isn't our only option for meeting someone interesting. I would certainly prefer to meet you out and about doing something we both find ourselves enjoying. Wouldn't that be nice. Not sure which makes for the better story, though. So I believe I am bettering my odds...in my search for that special someone to experience life with, and all that it has to offer.
The man I hope to meet likes to spend time together yet also enjoys his time alone, as I do. I'd like you to see the humor in things as well as know when to be serious. Laughter is pretty huge. You are kind to strangers and passionate about life. I'm looking for someone to love and to be passionate about. I imagine we are out together and from across a crowded room we'll share a loving smile and a knowing glance; the best part is yet to come.
I'm still old fashioned in a lot of ways and appreciate it when a man holds the door open for me. I enjoy being a woman, and am feminine...no apologies. In fact, I kind of prefer that you make the first move here on Match. Don't worry...I'm not bashful.
I come from a large family and my family is important to me. I really do love living in the Bay Area, although I'm a transplant. I'm actually from the southern part of the country, but IРІР‚в„ўve had no trouble making many dear friends here. I am outgoing, friendly, and can talk to anyone really.
And now for the apparent obligatory exercise segment of my profile...While I enjoy being outdoors as much as the next gal, the form of exercise I'm most passionate about is Pilates. Whether practicing or instructing, it keeps me in a studio three or more days a week. I guess I could be open to outdoor Pilates, though it would be so limiting. You know, not having all my torture devices on hand. ;-)
I love to travel and would jump at the chance to go almost anywhere. Places I'd like to return: Sidney, Prague, Switzerland...to name a few. I enjoy cooking, eating out, and movies--in or out, dancing (especially when no one's watching), parties, walks/hiking anywhere in nature but ideally around water, and any vacation that includes a secluded beach. And no matter how many sunrises and sunsets I catch, I remain awestruck. What about you?
LetРІР‚в„ўs see, here are a few more traits I envision when thinking about someone I want to spend time with ... You are honest, respectful, loving, kind, funny, charming, patient, supportive, and an all РІР‚?round good guy. Well, all that with a bit of an edge. You are happy in life, and not too serious. Successful, clever...and you share my belief that dental hygiene is hot. Am I being too specific? Well, one can ask anyway. You respect yourself and others. Romance is high on your list and you believe that smart is sexy!! Oh, and passion. I don't believe that there can be too much in life. Just saying.
And while this may be understood by most, others may need some clarity...if we connect and find that we would like to explore a relationship, be prepared to suspend your internet shopping. I speak and live my truth and I expect it in return. Did I mention integrity?
Now, if you've read this far...there may be potential. AND, you get to read a couple of my personal beliefs about "Match Etiquette":
If you don't post and/or send a photo, I won't reply. You have already seen mine...it's only fair.
I get winks. I mean, I understand them. It lets me know you're interested. Wink away!
Thanks for reading!

Date someone special from California, United States. Hello,
IРІР‚в„ўm a playful, happy, optimistic person. A sense of humor is key to a happy life, I think. Being able to laugh at lifeРІР‚в„ўs absurdities is crucial for keeping me sane.
I have an often cold nose and a good sense of smell. But I’m pretty sure those are the only characteristics I share with a golden retriever. Oh wait – we’re both loyal. And friendly. And have great hair.
Seeing live music is a passion of mine, and living in Fairfax, I get to indulge that need fairly often. I like many types of music, though IРІР‚в„ўm probably overly fond of the Beatles and Tom Petty.
IРІР‚в„ўm not much of a cook, but do appreciate good food and eat organic as much as possible. But my kids know how to pick up the phone for dinner.
I love adventure and travel. I took my kids back to their birth places in China and Taiwan in 2010. That was my last big trip. I'd love to do more international travel, and travel in the American west. I've now lived in the Bay Area longer than anywhere else. It's pretty great out here - the people, the weather, the outdoor lifestyle, the awe-inspiring beauty. I'm well-travelled through much of the U.S. (I have family in Seattle, New England and the south). But I still haven't seen (and would like to go to): Glacier Nat'l Park, the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Alaska, Ashland, OR and Santa Fe. I'm also interested in doing more international travel.
A few thoughts about my guy:
You have an easy smile and use it often. We make each other laugh. A lot. Life is full of serious stuff, but having fun is the order of the day when weРІР‚в„ўre together. And fun can be just appreciating a beautiful day, and going out for breakfast and a hike in Marin. Heading out to hear some live music at night. Enjoying each otherРІР‚в„ўs company. You are generous with your time to your community, friends and family. You have a big heart. I sure hope you enjoy kissing as much I do.
You gotta be cool with kids (I have 2 teenaged boys). And understand that as a mom who has her kids full-time and works Mon-Fri, I don’t have tons of free time. But know that I really look forward to seeing you on the weekend – and hopefully a date night or two during the week.
What adventures have you been up to lately? (local or otherwise)
Cheers,
Carolyn

Meet someone special from United States. I am fun, athletic, warm-hearted, funny and intelligent. I love doing anything that gets me in my body including dancing, hiking, yoga, biking and being in nature. I'm kind of a country girl at heart although I love getting dressed up, feeling sexy and going out on the town for live music, dancing, theater, etc. Staying home with a mate, good food and a movie can be a welcome reprieve and a great way to relax, chill and settle in.
IРІР‚в„ўm adventurous, a risk-taker and have had a few close calls that have humbled me big time. I enjoyed being part of a committed climb of Mt. Shasta for 10 consecutive years (certainly not always summiting!) and have sat in many a sweat lodge and ceremonial circle. I have a commitment to doing what it takes to stay as fully alive and vital as possible. IРІР‚в„ўm strongly influenced by the work of Angeles Arrien, Tomas Pinkson, Gabrielle Roth, Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, Sogyal Rinpoche, among others.
My life has been a healthy mixture of the conventional and the not so. I still have a fondness in my heart for counter-culture values while having a very strong capacity to thrive in the world. My spiritual life is very important to me, not the dogma but the direct felt experience of the deeper mystery. I practice both stillness and movement through meditation, yoga and conscious dance (mostly 5Rhythms).
I gravitate toward men who are intelligent, funny, sensual, soulful, embodied and spirited. I value self-awareness, open communication, strength and emotional availability, and I offer these as well.
I want my partner to have a healthy relationship with his body, mind and spirit, to appreciate the road less traveled, not take life too seriously, and know how to settle into a committed in-depth relationship.
I believe in taking the time to get to know someone, to see if we share values, respect, authentically enjoy each otherРІР‚в„ўs company and can go the distance. IРІР‚в„ўm looking for a relationship of equals in which we each can feel truly seen and appreciated, have tolerance for each otherРІР‚в„ўs quirks and moods, and accept each other's failings with grace, humility and compassion. I value playful, spirited banter, talking things through, chemistry, emotionally intimate risk-taking, and delicious kisses. IРІР‚в„ўm looking for a connection that will grow into the real thing: authentic, mutual love and a commitment to do the work it takes to keep a relationship alive. So if you are seeking a strong, playful, and spirited woman who looks and sounds like me, let's connect!

Date a woman from United States. The best aventure I can imagine would the adventure of loving a great man and creating a life together.
Is there a nice guy out there who may like to embark on such an adventure with a terrific woman?
Such an adventure might include waking up to meet the day with open arms, an open heart, and a loving smile. The adventure of loving, nurturing, and creating a life that includes the one you love.
While we are doing this, we have lots of fun with outer adventures. Would you like any of these?
1. How about picking our fill of blueberries as we explore the Alaskan wilderness, to return to our great base lodge for more exploring the next day or maybe that night as the sun is still high at 1am?
2. How about wandering around South Africa visiting the coastline and the wildlife parks?
3. How about making our way down the coast of Chile towards the southern tip?
4. And while we're there, let's hop over to Iguazu Falls to hear the thundering roar of the waterfalls.
5. Drifting down the Nile in a faluka boat, stopping here and there to explore ancient ruins.
6. How about spending time with the humpbacks and their babies as they sit like torpedos along the continental shelf off the coast of Molakai?
7. How about exploring Loretto (Baja) as decide whether we want to kayak, go hiking, or just sit on the veranda and watch the clouds sail by.
Perhaps we can begin closer to home with:
1. A weekend trip to Ashland, where we can easily go hiking, to a great restaurant, and on see great theatre, and stroll back to a small quaint hotel all without getting in a car.
2. How about a road trip up the coast, coming across the little town of Trinidad before we find a place to tuck in for the night.
3. How about hiking to see the condors as they soar just overhead in the Pinnacles?
4. How about skiing a set of beautiful S turns in the thigh deep powder of Alta's pristine slopes to return to the warmth of a mountain side lodge , fire alight and warm drinks waiting?
Of course, there is the laundry, bills to be paid, and all that. Yet, wouldn't it be a lot more fun to know you are loved, cared for, and cherished all the while you are going about your daily life?
And You?
You are fit, laugh easily, possess a sunny temperament, love to learn, compassionate, have a quick and curious mind, truthful, honest .....Oh, and of course, adventursome and know how to initiate and plan fun activities. You also appreciate the quiet and reflective side of life, and enjoy talking and sharing what this means for you. Perhaps you have a creative outlet or project you enjoy for those times at home when we are not off adventuring. You desire a relationship grounded in genuine friendship and an ease of compatibility in daily rhythms.
And you get a gal who is in great shape, slim, attractive, passionate in every part of her life, sassy, classy, playful, quick mind, forever youthful. A real woman, a good apple. I've known love before and I want it in my life again. I want a man who is not afraid to love again.
ps. If you are passionate about skiing and hiking, that would be icing on the cake.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I found a black bird unable to fly sitting in the middle of the road the other day, and took it to Wild Care, a lovely sanctuary for injured wild animals. I am touched and inspired by this little refuge in San Rafael that offers care, and values the wild creatures we share this planet with. I like to imagine kindness and sensitivity as a base from which I aspire to live.
I have two sons, one is in his second year of college, the other is just beginning graduate school. Being a mom is an ongoing delight, worry, and a path of absolute love.
I am very active physically, work out regularly, practice yoga, and ride a wonderful horse in the hills around Muir Beach.
I am a psychotherapist and feel privileged to have work that is meaningful, and enjoy a warm community of friends and colleagues.
I value being alone, time to read, and time to listen to the quiet.
I hope for a loving relationship that is open and passionate. I believe I am meant to live in partnership, and I thrive in the growth and heartfulness that comes with being intimate with another.
I need to mention, with some embarrassment, that these pictures are now about 4 years old. I was on Match briefly back then...I would much rather have present pictures, and plan to take care of it, hopefully soon.

Date someone special from United States. Having spent the last years creating a life of my dreams running a B&B Retreat on the northern coast of CR, I feel ready to invite in a wise, adventurous life partner to join me in this paradise. My life is rich in spirit, creativity, sharing community and exploring sustainable living. I enjoy a healthy life style: meditation, Yoga, movement.
You resonate with the above, appreciate a spiritual orientation, are psychologically mature, having processed your issues, have a deep love of life, nature, family, monogamy, and devotion. Integrity is a must. You are financially grounded and value honest communication.
Friendship is the foundation; to get to know each-other over time in a variety of contexts before clarifying we are a real match and moving to the next level of intimacy.
If this moves you, please contact me and let’s see… I visit New York City and The San Francisco Bay Area periodically where we could meet for tea...
Sensual, caring, artistic, visionary woman, I enjoy nature, deep friendships, family, and a healthy lifestyle. Psychologically and spiritually aware with multi-faceted interests. Love to laugh, dance, and communicate. Value integrity, stability, and authenticity. Looking for life partner with similar values to share intimately, provide support, to see and be seen.Looking for an unconventional, self sufficient, creative man with a lust for life, travel, people, experience, culture and an interest in creating a vision for a shared future. You are a strong man that loves the soft, intuitive feminine and is ready to find balance together.

Meet a woman from Fairfax, United States. I am easy going and love life. I have just moved to Marin. I live in Lanai Hawaii in the winter and here for 6 months. I'm looking for someone to go to lunch with to hang out with. maybe go on a hike the out doors is beautiful here. Do a little exploring.

Date someone special from Fairfax, United States. Personal growth is very important; thrive on new things--from thoughts to experiences; reflective and quiet, yet energetic and love the out of doors; opera, theatre, museums, cycling, hiking, skiing, scuba, travel; love to read and write. Eckart Tolle and Don Miguel Ruis teachings ring true to me.
I am comfortable with myself, listen to my instincts, love people and life and want the same in a partner. Come with a wide range of interests, good sense of humor, flexibility and energy and we'll see what happens.
I enjoy simple things and being in nature, summer festivals and root beer and hot dogs. But french cuisine before the opera works, too. There has to be energy, but energy can be quiet and contained and sometimes resting. Energy doesn't mean doing every moment, but it is a positive state of being--happy, positive, taking in all the magic, because we need it to stay balanced for the times that are not. I enjoy cycling metrics around the Bay Area. It would be nice if you were into cycling, too, but not necessary. I would love to get back into golfing.
My perfect match? I look forward to meeting you. You could be within a fairly wide range of people, but when we meet, we'll both know.

. I am an active, attractive woman in my mid 60РІР‚в„ўs still shapely with a head of bright white hair, blue eyes and very fair skin. IРІР‚в„ўve got a few wrinkles and creaky joints but I imagine if youРІР‚в„ўre in my ball park you do too.
I'm intelligent, insightful, wise and funny, sensitive and intuitive. IРІР‚в„ўm really a people person and express my feelings easily. I'm much more interested in who people are than what they have or what they do. Cultivating, honesty, integrity, compassion, open heartedness and gratitude are integral to the way I live my life. I work as an intuitive counselor, which combines my training and skill as a psychotherapist with my strong intuitive abilities.Though this might sound otherwise I'm actually not New Agey but in fact quite grounded and sensible.
I love to hike, bake, grow flowers, travel, go to intelligent films, plays, art galleries. I love to browse bookstores; garage sales. IРІР‚в„ўm not into sports except my nephewsРІР‚в„ў little league games. IРІР‚в„ўm not an athlete but do take good care of myself, exercise and eat a healthy diet. IРІР‚в„ўm a reader, always have two or three books going at the same time. IРІР‚в„ўm politically liberal and need to know whatРІР‚в„ўs happening in the world. IРІР‚в„ўm social but also like to have alone time with myself and with my partner. IРІР‚в„ўm very affectionate, love cuddling and all that goes with it. I have an active life but IРІР‚в„ўm not a person whoРІР‚в„ўs rushing around, going or doing all the time.
I have been on a meditative path for many years working to become the most mature, real and present person I can be before this earthly cycle comes to an end. (IРІР‚в„ўve been in the Diamond Heart Work if that means anything to you.)
I would like to be with someone who has a spiritual life too though it doesnРІР‚в„ўt have to be exactly the same as mine. IРІР‚в„ўm also very psychologically savvy and want to be with someone whoРІР‚в„ўs done some inner work so that their baggage (we all have it, and thatРІР‚в„ўs the truth) isnРІР‚в„ўt totally unknown or denied and they want to work with it if need be. Relationships as well as being wonderful, joyful, playful can also challenge us to grow personally and interpersonally and I welcome that and want to be with someone who does too.
If youРІР‚в„ўre a warm, witty, wise, one-woman man who is open-hearted, communicative, commit-able and wants a companion, playmate, sweet lover and good friend and you appreciate the ripening and the wrinkling, mine and your own, that all our years of living have given us, IРІР‚в„ўd love to hear from you.

. Priimary plus second photo both taken in 2011.
I'm an attractive, athletic, artistic woman. I have led a very exciting, interesting life, living in Mexico City, the Caribbean, South America, Europe, and Asia. I travelled the Seven Seas by ship, from Singapore to Bali (The Ring of Fire) for a month. I was a Flight Attendant for ten years and did public relations plus some modeling for Western Airlines (now Delta). I have been in business as well as vintage house restoration. I love to travel and experience new people and cultures. I am a poet and love all kinds of music from opera to full on rock & roll. I love extreme sports such as surfing (body surfing, body-boarding), car racing. I am complex but not complicated. I am exciting. I am warm, generous and kind, enjoy people and family. I am interested in someone of like kind, who would like a one-on-one relationship, attractive, affectionate, loving and kind, a gentleman.
The photos of me in front of Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte and the photo of CITE INTERNATIONALE UNIVERSITAIRE DE PARIS; where I lived for the month of July while studying French, were taken in 2005. The other photos were taken at an autocross that I did in my car with the Porsche Club of America. The photo of me in my "Speedo" was taken at the club where I swim two miles a week. One photo of myself taken at the beach in Encinitas Ca. after a day of Boggie Boarding, covered with sand, sea-salt in my hair, heaven!!

. I am an attractive, intelligent, independent, inquisitive, openminded, flexible, creative, healthy (mentally&physically), honest, thoughtful, professional woman blessed with the gifts of naturally healthy, looking, feeling, thinking, acting and living forever young. A bit of Tomboyishness, sweet schoolgirl shyness, but always classy, feminine, with a twist of humor and poise...I can dress to be in a fashion magazine (which I have been in) or I can equally be happy being messy in the kitchen or while remodeling on a construction site with my creativity. I love Nieman Marcus and Home Depot equally! lol :-) Seriously though, I was in Vietnam (and Southeast Asia in general) as a reporter from 1967-69. No weak little girl here! I can be dreamy and I can be realistic. And I'm very sexy, too! lol :-) It may take time for me to meet someone who is special, who is well-educated, who has a love of learning, and ability to learn, teach, give, who does charity work, who can share, and who can inspire others. I'm seeking someone who is quiet, soft, gentle, eloquent, intelligent, humorous, creative, inquisitive, who has eclectic tastes and who enjoys great food, traveling, sailing, roadtrips, who has financial independence and good health. I'm looking for my 'New Best Friend' and to experience my ' Last First Kiss'. I would like to grow with someone, to have a 'Last True Love', and a lifelong partner & friend, to cherish, and to laugh with; who has the capacity to allow & accept one another's differences/vulnerabilities and strengths during good/bad times, who always has a positive, supportive & encouraging attitude. Together, we will take a chance to be in love... And we'll sail on a lifelong journey!
