Date women from United States / California / Long Beach, 56 year old

Date someone special from Long Beach, United States. Here goes...Time to change things up and try the online dating thing. Although I'm happy, enjoy my job and have wonderful friendships, I am looking for someone who enjoys a healthy lifestyle, likes to travel, has a sense of humor and the ability to laugh at themselves from time to time.
Although I have done well being alone I'm ready to be better with that someone special to share life's adventures with. I think it would be great to find someone to just do nothing with...just be together, enjoying each other's company. Make sense?
I have some great friends in my life and I enjoy spending time with them going to the movies, casual evenings dining out, attending concerts and going to the theatre.
I stay active by attending Pilates classes 4-5 days a week. I've always enjoyed watching golf but was a little intimidated at the thought of playing the game so this year I took the leap and started taking golf lessons. On weekends I find myself at the driving range working on my swing. Next step...to actually play a round of golf. I think the 9 hole 3 par course at the Terranea Resort In Palos Verdes would be fun! Sound like fun to you?
I enjoy reading and don't know what I would do without my Kindle. (or IPad)
Living in southern California how could I not enjoy doing things outdoors? Love taking walks in the city, by the beach, hiking trails and any outdoor shopping mall! Like to shop? I'm your gal!!!

Meet a soulmate from Long Beach, United States. I'm looking for my best friend and playmate wrapped in one great guy.
Moved here 10 years ago from the Puget Sound area of WA state and have been here for 10 years. I am deep, witty, educated, opinionated, playful and kind. I have a calm yet passionate nature. I've been in one long term marriage and single for a while now. I'm comfortable with my own company so it's quality vs quantity of people in my life. I don't date simply to have a social life, but for that right connection where time together is GREAT!
I enjoy a balance of 'being' and 'doing' so not a fit for someone who wants to be on the go all the time. Rather than climb mountains, forge streams or machete my way through the Amazon- I'd prefer to explore you, create great weekend getaways in beautiful So or No CA or spend a weekend nesting.
If we have a good sense of humor match I'd be in BLISS! I really appreciate someone who's got my kind of humor. Some of my favorite tv shows: the food network, idol, voice, dance- as well as some other fluff ..yep, I'm a girl!
I have an open mind and compassionate heart and appreciate diversity. Our President is someone I greatly respect and admire. Politics didn't used to matter so much but it seems to reflect far deeper into ideology and even behavior - so now I'm paying attention.
PLEASE have been legally single long enough to be past the candy store stage so that you can recognize when someone amazing walks into your life- me!
My quirky side? I always return my shopping cart, don't litter, and love flip flops.
I've traveled to Italy,France, England, and the tropics. I'd really like to explore more of CA. I'm looking forward to exploring the wine country or Paris-with you?

Date a woman from Long Beach, United States. Just moved back to So Cal and ready to share fun times with a quality, happy, smart, good-hearted man who values fun, family, learning, exploring new adventures, travel and creating magic together. Have a home in Colorado still and enjoy going back to spend time with family and explore the Rockies. I've been called a vivacious redhead with the Irish passion for life, love, truth, roads less traveled. . .
Favorite things are, beach walks, horses, Harley rides, hiking, biking, sharing a laugh, sharing dreams, taking risks, exploring new places, coffee over intelligent, inspiring conversations.
I love entertaining family and friends, celebrating the Holidays with our families. I believe you can create magic moments every day with those you love! I like weekend getaways, being active outdoors, boating, sailing, learning new things, gardening, interior design, creative writing, doing projects together.
I enjoy the freedom, challenge and flexibility having my business provides me which I can run from anywhere in the world.
I've traveled often to Europe, Australia, Hawaii, Fiji, Caribbean, Mexico, London, Italy. I love being a part of the local life and local adventures wherever I go. Places I'd like to visit next: Spain, Ireland, Scotland, Africa, Belize, Costa Rica, Thailand.
Adventurous by nature, I've bungee jumped in Australia, fire-walked in Hawaii, hiked the Fijian rain forests, rode horses along side kangaroos in the Snowy Mountains of Australia. That being said, I am just as happy at home sharing the evening with my man, cooking together, watching a movie, cuddling in front of the fire, doing a project together. I want to share more of life's amazing adventures with my man both at home and out in this wonderful world.
Free-spirited, with a dash of independence, I also know I am at my best in a loving relationship. You'll find me kind, loyal, honest, direct, spontaneous, generous and romantic. I value the gift of time with our friends and family.

My life has been blessed in so many ways, and I know it's even more magical when shared with a special man.

Meet a woman from California, 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.

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.

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 United States. My friends would describe me as fun and easy to be around, a great cook, and a truly good friend. I love my job and am good at it, but it does not define me. I have a passion for life and have many eclectic interests. Travel, music, reading, walking, and cooking are just a few of my interests.

Date a woman from 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.
