Date women from United States / California / Greenbrae, 51 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm looking for a man who can appreciate me for me. I like a man who is affecionate, witty, open minded, fun, can make me laugh and is able to hold his own in any conversation. I like to spoil and be spoiled back. I need a man who wants to be a part of my life and who wants to include me in his life too. Compatibility and physical chemistry are all part of the package.
I have a good sense of humor and adventure, thats how I got here :) I am smart, creative, independant and self confident. I am easy to be around, avoid drama and head games and like to keep it light. I tend to be a little shy at first, but warm up quickly. I'm playful and can be a little fiesty.
I love to socialize with my family and friends, like snow skiing, golf, enjoy walking and hiking anything that gets me outside. I like to browse in bookstores, wine taste, frequent restaurants, and also like to cook and BBQ. I especially like casual dates - going to movies or watching netflix, especially thrillers and comedies. Love street fairs and festivals. I listen to pop/rock music and a little jazz, enjoy live music, going to plays and shows, love to travel, especially quick weekend getaways - anywhere I can plant my toes in the sand :)
I like to spend time volunteering for worhty causes. Some of my favorites are To Celebrate Life Breast Cancer Foundation, Wild Care-Evening With Owls and The Walk to End Alzheimers.
Winks are ok too, but only once.

Meet a woman from California, United States. I am an architectural interior designer specializing in retail design - my most recent projects were in Seoul and Beijing. Mother of two; one in college, one in high school and half way out the door. Raised them myself the past six years. Proud to report they are good happy citizens.... so far!
Originally from the Boston area, moved to San Francisco more than 20 years ago, still call back East 'home' though I have no intention of moving back!
Lived in Italy for three years, Vietnam for one. Love all music, (bar country), performance, motorcycles, bikhram, hiking, other cultures, other culture's food, being outdoors, laughing, good stories, good wit and of course, the long walks on the beach...
Always looking to expand the repertoire.
Looking for a partner and new friends!
