Date men and women from United States / California / Long Beach, 56 year old - page 2

Date people from Long Beach, United States. A little about myself. I have lived in California most of my life. I love nature and everything in it:rocks, stars, mountains, woods, waves, sounds of nature, rainbow, puppies etc...I am prone to laughter and quite often laugh at myself. I appreciate humor, honesty, and simplicity. I learn to live in the moment, not looking through the lens of the mind. Quietude is my closest friend but I love to be around people who are aware(keep ego in check), kindhearted and giving. I consider myself youthful looking and physically attractive( despite gravity) and emotionally sane (getting older and wiser, I guess). Somewhere in my adulthood I chose the road less traveled by and hope it makes a difference...Wishing you and I somehow will cross each other 's path.

Age is not that important but someone who is mature about my age and has a good job would be socially comfortable.

The profile photo was taken this May (2012) in Paris, France.
I travel across continents: Tokyo-Los Angeles, and some other cities.
Of all the places I lived in the world, I came to like the beach cities in Los Angeles county the most. I like its blue sky, comfortable weather, Hollywood, and multi-cultural environment. I like the Ocean View of beach cities.
I have married once(was a housewife of a French man from Paris) then separated, started working and got divorced.
I raised one multi-lingual Franco-Japanese child single handedly. My daughter left nest, got married.
Since the divorce I have a fear of involvement and commitment. I am afraid of being hurt and timid, hence I remained single.
But IРІР‚в„ўm talkative and outgoing. IРІР‚в„ўm very logical and not physical like latin people (I haven't kissed nor hugged my parents nor my daughter as long as I remember like most other Japanese people. We bow, wave hands for greetings and don't touch.); would like my space respected. I'm romantic and
dream about courteous prince charming living in his castle.
I'm a dreamer who doesn't separate dreams and reality and work hard chasing my dreams. Some of my dreams came true; for example becoming fluent in English (I grew up in Japan) and other foreign languages, travel to many cities around the world, go to famous graduate school abroad.
Both my parents are in good health and active. They met by an arranged chaperoned match meeting and have been together many decades. I have one sister who has three children and lives close to the parents.
There are over 40 medical doctors in relatives in Japan. The family expectation pressured me to study hard and get higher degrees.

Meet a soulmate from Long Beach, United States. In a nutshell...
Although born in Washington state, I am essentially a Southern California girl. I am the middle child (book-ended by brothers) and was born on the Pisces/Aries cusp. (So, draw your own conclusions.) I would rather: simplify than complicate; laugh than cry; be happy than sad; have fun than drama; buy shoes than food; have dogs than cats; bowl than golf.
I am an independent woman who comes complete with job, home, car, dogs…and even my own toolbox. I have opinions and passion. I’m a big fan of little adventures. Fun for me includes: road trips; the arts (performing and otherwise); movie-going; Lakers-watching; wine-tasting; window-shopping; spending time with friends…just for starters.
I try to keep my mind and body somewhat fit with crossword puzzles, reading, yoga…and household chores (ugh.)
In my professional life, I manage a non-profit agency…so, yes, I admit to have a bit of a bleeding heart, and an open-minded philosophy of life.
I’m looking for a man with a great sense of humor, easy laugh and zest for life. Someone who is happy and in a good place. Someone who is interested, engaged, clever, charming, chivalrous, loves his mother…and can do his own laundry! Someone who is strong, but not macho; determined, but not unrelenting; fit, but not fanatical.
Bottom line…a cool guy with a positive attitude, stability…and a bit of quirky side.
