Date women from United States / California / Long Beach, 48 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Looking for someone fun, affectionate, passionate? A sexy woman who tends to be a bit naughty at times? Now that I have your attention. Of course, I work in the field of advertising.
I am looking for a man who is smart, ambitious and who takes command of a room. However, he must be kind, sensitive, honest, thoughtful and loyal in business and love, too. I would like to meet someone I can go to dinner with, go see a movie on or grab a drink at the local wine bar. I am usually easy going and eager to please. I am ready for new adventures and ready to travel and discover, and I also like staying at home and cuddling.
I am a successful entrepreneur and work in advertising. It would be ideal to find someone with a similar career or interests, and understands the pressures and challenges of owning a company. I am looking for a hero who can be make me laugh, but can also be the shoulder I cry on. Big plus, if you enjoy cooking and are a pretty good handyman. I like to dote on and care for my man and I don't like playing games. I'm looking for companionship, friendship, ultimately love and maybe marriage.
This time around, I believe it is impererative that we both practice some sort of sprirituality. I sincerely believe that having a foundation and practicing it can help get couples through the rocky times. I also value my health and want someone who also works out and takes care of themselves physically as well as spiritually.
Do you have what it takes to capture my heart?
Let's talk on the phone and see if there is some commonality with our goals in a match. Then I would like to meet for a drink or bite and see if there is any interest. I prefer to take it slowly. Let's get to know each other and become friends first, let the chemistry set in and than let the sparks fly!

Meet a woman from California, United States. My favorite quote for a while now..."Respect your fellow human beings, treat them fairly, disagree with them honestly, explore your thoughts about one another candidly, work together for a common goal and help one another achieve it." -Bill Bradley
I am fun. I have basic values, yet I'm not daunted by the complexities of life..ya know! I'm talking about the curve balls life throws us. I intend to bat those ball outta the park with a great attitude, the right skill set, and a solid support system. I am a great friend and committed to personal growth. I accept constructive feedback well.
I'm prepared for a transition from casual dating to a healthy, committed relationship. I enjoy closeness with my partner. Being solid friends as a foundation is a must for me because I've found that otherwise intimate relationship doesn't last happily. Have you found this to be true also? Here is my list of necessities in a relationship that I adhere to and work toward achieving with my partner:
1. Avoid a judgmental attitude
2. Stand up for myself without putting you down...and you toward me
3. Offer assurances...that goes both ways
4. Find the understandable part of your viewpoint (and you mine)
5. Focus on what's bigger at stake when we disagree
6. Give equal regard (and expect to receive it)
7. Be curious about your internal world (and motivate you to do the same with me)
8. Pursue a shared meaning for our lives
9. Keep sight of the positive
10. Make and respond to bids for connection
This is my recipe for relationship success. It's based on over 40 years of research (by John Gottman), and apparently there are people naturally occurring who routinely do all ten of these habits together, and they're happy long-term!!! I want this too!!!! You???
Happy to say my career is thriving, and I feel fulfilled in this area. I am independent, and ready to share my life with the right person. My friendships are solid and I have learned to appreciate the man-woman dance of relationship. I keep my heart open, with no expectations at first--as I expect you to do as well. There's so much that writing belies, so let's keep the proof in the pudding, right? I feel comfortable talking over the phone, yet being in person is so much more informative--I prefer 3D. I also prefer a man with a strength of character, a certain cute attractiveness, and street smarts. Just so you know...
To me what matters is a chemistry between us, and surely it matters whether each of us believes the other has personal qualities that are attractive, and workable when not attractive. I will not be your guinea pig, nor you mine. If you are searching for clarity about what you want in relationship, please just pass over my profile and I wish you the best! Should you already know that you intend to let passion flow and exercise initial caution, with a goal of equal partnership...then here I am! You found me!
My two children, my son (5 yrs.) and my daughter (8 yrs.) are deeply important to me, and I intend to raise them to be great individuals. The physical labor of parenting in the early stage is pretty much over now, and I'm on to the long and winding road of working with them on their strengths and challenges. I believe in cultivating them as well-rounded individuals while honoring their preferences as much as is possible: athletically and physically, mentally, and spiritually. I truly enjoy being with my son and daughter!!! So basically, I'm invested in being a great mom to them.
It's been over five years since divorce for me; I have a lot of fortitude and exuberance, and what this means to me is that many options are available for connecting with you. Ha! That sounds fluffy. You likely looked at my pics first, then decided you'd read my bio at least. And now probably you're figuring that I might possess a fine brain too. And you're right!
Enough of this rigamarole! Send me an email, and let's get on with getting to meeting for the first time.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I'm a person with a good heart who is very patient, have a sense of humor, understanding and who loves to spend time with family either at home or doing things together. I also enjoy listening to music and love the outdoors. When I do have time to myself, I love reading--going to the park under a shady tree and relax with a good book or just be out on my own doing things I love. I would like to meet someone who also thinks family is important and likes spending time with them. Someone who is trustworthy, caring and understanding. Someone who loves music, doing things outdoors, who loves to laugh and can be open and honest and be able to communicate with me about anything because I would be the same way with him. Someone who can be himself around me and as I will with him. I know its still won't be until next summer, but my daughter and I will be moving to Washington State and starting a new life and she will be starting high school there. I do have family and friends there and it would be great seeing them again. Looking forward to seeing old friends, meeting new ones, new experiences and doing the best I can to provide for my daughter and I.

Meet someone special from United States. This on line dating, process (at times) is enough to make ones head spin.
1. The instant attraction when you first meet (chemistry) is wiped completely gone.
2. Looking through hundreds of cookie cutter profiles, and pictures. Really... what's with the landscapes and toys? Are we looking to date the trees or mountains? YOU pictures of YOU.
3. Winks... I'm guilty of them too but they are a lazy, Hail Mary attempt. Come on pursue me, after all we've succumb to internet dating but I'm still a girl.
4. The telephone interview... Basically puts the voice to the face where 2 can decide... should we meet for coffee? Or can I stand to listen to that Jerry Lewis voice "HEY LADY".
5. If it ever gets this far meet for a QUICK glass of wine or cup of coffee, play it safe. Why agree right off the bat to a long dinner? What if that initial spark (we are ALL looking for) is not there?
6. The ones we want or feel they are a match don't respond to the process, or ignore the gestures. This works both ways.
7. Is it really that easy to hide behind the computer or phone, be so caught up
In our own lives and work that we continue to pay a monthly fee to just do nothing about finding the match that "Match" has for us???
8. Last but NOT least... If you are not in this country and are looking for a way in or money, praying on the hearts of desperate lonely women??? Shame on you and the group you are with. Get off this site. Maybe just maybe there are real people believing in this goofy process for LOVE.
Does anyone else feel this way?
A little about me; I am a mother to 4 of the greatest people in the world. I have proudly raised them completely alone for the last 23 years. 3 of them are now adults and give me the time and space to follow my dreams of becoming a doctor. I am old school Italian, and Sunday (gravy) is mandatory. I am a great cook, and OK a bit of a control freak. I keep an impeccable clean house, the cabinets are in alphabetical order. Hey, its educational, but I DO NOT IRON.
My first LOVE is Jesus Christ, my partner needs to understand a relationship with the savior!!! That said I am ready to meet my best friend. I'm searching for the LAST missing piece of the puzzle. Every other piece of my life is together there is no DRAMA here.
This match thing (my children put me up to) has become so overwhelming it could be time consuming enough to pursue as a full time job.
