Date men and women from United States / California / Livermore, 45 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. I love the following quote a dear friend shared with me recently and think it’s very true…
“Kindness is more important than wisdom and, the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom.”
The natural question now is how does one apply that quote? On my journey, my answer will always be, “I still have much further to go in gathering wisdom so, it appears I need to be more kind.”
I know… what the heck does that have to do with dating, divorce, who I am, what I’m looking for and, match.com? I guess, I just really like that quote. What’s more, I like that attitude...
The “practice of kindness” is a trait I’m attracted to in others and, something I strive to be better at myself. After nearly 9 years of divorce and, a few relationships along the way, I’ve learned kindness sure beats the alternative.
That said, I’ve made my fair share of mistakes. I try to learn from them and move on… my journey of self-improvement is life-long.
Definitely not my first time at the Rodeo which is match.com. So far, it's been a better means of meeting new friends than meeting the love of my life. Heck, I have no complaints because some of the people I have met here are steadfast and true friends I wouldn't have otherwise met. Actually, I think that's the best way to start and, if need be, the best way to finish... friends first, friends always.
Now, for some of the basics… I own my own business, love what I do and, work hard. I feel blessed to have great people working for me and, amazing clients in both CA NV.
My sense of humor and ability to laugh at life and, at myself, are my most obvious traits but there's more than meets the eye... Healthy living is an important part of my life. I try to eat well, practice yoga almost daily and enjoy being active outdoors. My favorite things to do are skiing in the winter and boat camping on Tahoe in the summer.
Of course, I have certain qualities and character traits I'd love to have in a partner but, regardless of how many "boxes I can check" off my list, chemistry and that "certain something", that "je ne sais quoi" rules supreme! It's elusive and very rare. I wish I knew what caused it and, unfortunately, there's no "search category" on match for it.
As far as what I'm looking for? Beauty, brains, humor, compassion, confidence, competence, class, chemistry and, connection. Yeah, there's more but, that's a good place to start.
Thanks for taking the time to read all this. If you're interested, don't keep it a secret.

Date people from California, United States. OK, for the short version about me, I am happy, fun, fit, heathy, and finding myself in a great place in my life. I've learned to maintain a strong balance between life's responsibilities and play. I've succeed most of the time, but my openness for spontaneous adventures and activities can distract me…usually in a good way! I love the time I spend with my 3 beautiful kids (12, 14, and 17), and when they aren't with me I make the most of my "grown up" time exploring eating/drinking establishments with fun friends,exploring on my bike, or enjoying a little downtime at home while listening to a great variety of music.
So for the expanded, semi-novel version - I've been separated for a long time, and the independent living experience has made me realize that there isn't a wasted moment that God has given us. Explore life, people, and the interesting places in front of you. I've had huge successes in life, especially with business and finance. At the same time, Ive had significant failures, including my only marriage. I can face that, learn from it, and hope to have an opportunity to apply those lessons with someone special in the future, and a fresh start. I still feel strange writing about myself, who doesn't? Things I love: nature walks, laughing and parties. I am an outgoing person, and need someone who is fun, sweet, and thoughtful. There is much more to say, so feel free to email me and l promise a friendly response. Hopefully, you are passionate about something in your life, maybe it's your family, career, a hobby, or even a sport! (Bonus points for mechanical things!) We might share similar interests, but you might have some intriguing ones of your own that you would enjoy introducing me to. You are affectionate, attentive and someone I can laugh with...and sometimes at! Having a creative side is a plus. Someone who is independent and has things they are passionate about, yet realizes some experiences in life are better shared with the right partner. No real must haves, beyond that undefinable thing called chemistry.... which you can't quite describe it, but you recognize it in a heartbeat. So, please give me a wink (I love winks!), or drop me a personal line, so we can compare notes here, and see just how much common ground we may have. Let's get out there!

Meet a man from California, United States. Let's see, where to start. I grew up in the South where I was taught the correct way to treat a woman. I have found that many of the values I was taught, women don't like. I am looking for someone who would allow me to open the door, pull out the chair for them, etc. The right person for me would be someone who would understand that my children mean the most to me and they are my number one priority. That doens't mean that there isn't room for someone else, just that they might have to make room for my children.

If I had to describe my ideal mate, I would say he's tall and handsome. Also likes to be physically fit, active, and healthy. He is smart, charming, and established. Has a great work ethic and a good sense of who he is and has a positive zest for life. He's patient, kind, trustworthy and most of all has integrity. I would like someone who treats his partner with kindness and adoration and appreciates the fact that a quality person is hard to find and wants to put effort into creating a great relationship!

Date people from United States. This is hard to put a few words together to discribe yourself. I love my Family and my Job. I have a great deal of passion for them both. I am very driven at times but I also have learned to be laid back at times. I always seem to have a great deal of energy. I try to keep a positive attitude in all that I do. I enjoy many thngs from going out to fancy restaurants to camping. I ATV ride, work in the garden, enjoy summer barbaques with friends. I love walking along the Ocean. The picture I used was a picture taken after I mowed the loan and ran the children around. I have no make up and you can see the real me. I have traveled most of the US and a few places outside. I enjoy traveling and learning about different people.

Meet someone special from United States. I am in sales and get to interact with great people every day. I love to laugh, and live in the moment. I would love to find someone who enjoys anything from relaxing at the lake, to a spontaneous trip up to Napa for the day. My friends describe me as funloving, loyal and genuine. I think honesty is underrated, and hope that it would come naturally in a successful relationship where we are comfortable talking about anything. I hope to find someone who likes golf, as I just started the game last year, and my current claim to fame is chipping out of a sandtrap with a driver and sinking it in the hole (after everyone ducked). I don't mind being the comedic relief at any cost if it means we all have a great day.
I have two great kids, my daughter is about to turn 21 and is in college and my son is about to be a Senior in High school, so both are out and about, but we have a very close relationship and a lot of laughs.
I love doing anything outdoors and will do almost anything on a dare...yes that is how I did my first sky diving jump and my first black diamond run skiing...a pattern maybe??
Life is too short to take ourselves seriously, time to get out, do something and enjoy it together.

Date a soulmate from Livermore, United States. My ideal match would definately need to be family oriented, hard working, fun loving and make me laugh.

Meet men and women from Livermore, United States. I am new to on-line dating, but thought it would be a good way to meet new people. My divorce was finalized in December 2009, after being separated for a few years. My kids have been my top priority, but now I am ready to look for someone special to share my life with.
I have a thirteen year old son and a ten year old daughter. They are both involved in sports so I spend a lot of my free time being their #1 fan. They are my greatest blessing. Family is really important to me, and I want to find someone with similar values.
I am very career orientated, but enjoy relaxing and having a good time. I have worked really hard to achieve my goals and now I am ready to reap the benefits. I hope to find someone that is also self-motivated and successful, but likes to have fun. You could be that person if you enjoy scuba diving, then a nice romantic picnic on the beach with a good bottle of wine, travelling to new and exotic places, dinner and dancing, snuggling on the couch with a good movie, or playing with my kids.
I hope to find Mr. Right and to be his Mrs. Right. I want a gentleman that will appreciate my independence but spoil me at the same time, and I will do the same for him. I am looking for a life partner and best friend that I can grow old with. Someone that wants to share his life and interests with me so that we can grow and try new things and places together.
I would love to hear from you if you think you might be Mr. Right!
