Date men and women from United States / California / Half Moon Bay, 48 year old

Date someone special from United States. I am a self-motivated and ambitious man that is looking for the right woman who is in control of her own life, and what happens in it. I lead a very active and fulfilling life and like to surround myself with equally active and outgoing friends. I embrace every day and treat every day like a new begining, full of opportunities and new people to meet. I am not into games, no time for that. Just looking for that one elusive person who can be my friend, confidant and soul mate. I am passionate about many things in life, my family and cooking being right there on top. You name it and I will figure out a way to make it taste great, either on the stove or on the grill! I also indulge in art museums, fine wine, sushi, good martini's (maybe a good cigar occasionally) and traveling to local Bay Area spots such as Napa, Monterey or the Mendocino Coast (to name just a few). When I have more time you will find me camping in the Sierra's, backpacking or just hanging out at a lake where all I can hear is the wind blowing through the tree's. I live on the San Mateo County coast just north of Half Moon Bay. If you can appreciate a man who is not selfish, kind and gentle, as well as rugged and adventurous, then I would like to hear from you. Life is full of suprises, and life is too short to not be passionate about it! Cheers!

Meet a woman from United States. I am a tall, slender California girl and my pictures are current ones. I am also outgoing, independent, affectionate and fun to be with. My two daughters are now adults and on to college. I have a great career which allows me to work outdoors and be creative, so I am at the time in my life that I am ready to have some fun and hopefully focus on a relationship with one special man.
I take care of myself and stay physically fit and appreciate a man who does too. I love dressing up to go out to dinner, but am a casual girl by nature and just as happy putting on jeans and getting dirty....a combination of down to earth and sophisticated. As the landscape grounds manager of a ranch on the coast I have plenty of opportunities to wear my jeans and get dirty! I am an awesome cook and enjoy cooking a meal and sharing a bottle of wine with someone....
I am comfortable and open with people and appreciate it when they are the same with me. I come from a big family and value time spent with family and good friends. I enjoy a man who is confident, kind, intelligent, has a positive spirit, enjoys good conversation, has a sense of humor, and is a gentleman. It is a definite plus if you love dogs, horses, etc...I appreciate a man who values people and cares about the needs of others. I am not fragile and love teasing but be warned, I can give as good as I get. Chemistry and attraction are important to me, but who has figured out what makes for good chemistry between people?
I am looking for that special partner, lover and friend to share my life and experiences with. I would like to find a man who will value and cherish me the way I will value and cherish him.... a man who is REALLY ready to find, appreciate and hold onto that special someone who makes life fun and enjoyable. If you are "currently separated"... I am not interested. Honestly and accurately representing yourself and what you want is important. It's difficult to give a total picture of who you are in a profile, so I will leave it at that and say that I believe the exciting part of the adventure can be getting to know each other. If you like what you see in my profile, send me an email...Thanks for taking a look!
