Date women from United States / California / Half Moon Bay, 39 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am deeply passionate person about most things, but this is not something I readily embraced for much of my life. Approaching life moderately and with coolness was much more rewarded in my world than exuberance. As I have moved through this life, however, I have found that my greatest successes have come when I have let down my guard and grabbed a hold of the general enthusiasm with which I would prefer to approach all things. To be in the moment.
Quite simply, I want to be with someone who sees, embraces, nurtures, and celebrates that passion and exuberance. Someone who is as intellectually curious as I, active and athletic, but also takes time out to enjoy a lazy Saturday morning.
I travel exhaustively for my work with most days being spent in some form of mental judo, and would like to have a sanctuary of care where I am in a partnership rather than some form of competition. I greatly value the gentleman who will take the time to treat me like a lady.
I want someone with whom I can be spontaneous, explore the world, laugh a lot, think about hard problems, and to whom I am not afraid to show I am, at times, vulnerable. I do not desire to change anyone or put him into a mold, but, rather, be someone who brings out the best in him.
