Date women from United States / California / Los Altos, 42 year old

Date someone special from Los Altos, United States. I am a fun-loving, fairly easy going person who likes to keep busy and believes in a work and life balance. I can be adventurous and spontaneous (I have taken many solo trips) but am also happy to visit local areas,meet for drinks, or dinner at a local spot, enjoy a summer evening, beach, or take a long hike along some of the amazing local trails.
I am on Match.com because I am looking for someone to enjoy some quality leisure time with. While I will often go places and take trips on my own, it’s more fun to share the experience with someone! I work in marketing for a biotech company in Silicon Valley. I am lucky to be the Aunt of 3 nieces and 1 nephew who I enjoy spending time with when I can. I have seen quite a bit of the United States, love spending time in Tahoe, and have traveled to Europe multiple times – enjoying every visit! I really enjoy the art. The paintings, woodwork, tapestries, sculptures - just breathtaking! Climbing around castle ruins and walking thru historic manors is fun too. I have also driven in these countries. Ever pass thru a tiny castle wall? The streets of Italy was pretty crazy. If I could figure out how to work and live aboad I would in a nano second. Still dreaming..
I love to travel, ski, and hike. I enjoy cooking and should do so more often! It is so rewarding to try a new recipe that looks and tastes great! I am looking for a nice, honest guy, who appreciates family and has an interest in the world. Someone who is adventurous.If any of this sounds interesting to you and you are looking for a good friend for occasional outings or a steady date, send me an email. Let's meet for drinks and get to know each other better.

Although opposites attract and I'm open to getting to know someone who has a very different lifestyle than I do there are some areas that are quite difficult to get past. Relationships can be hard enough without huge gaps between our interests and values.

Date a soulmate from Los Altos, United States. Looking for your other half can be very complicated. However, you never want to judge a book by its cover. I enjoy meeting people by knowing who they are from the inside out. I would love to find that "connection" that we all think about. I believe that beauty comes from within. I do understand that it can be very frustrating to be on a site for a month and not have any luck. I don't believe in long distance relationships, for me, they never work out! I love to cook when I have the chance. I try to go to the gym at least 4 days a week. I believe working out is very important is staying healthy. I love going to flea markets, the beach, snuggling with the one I love and watching movies, jet skiing, walking hand in hand on the beach. Love candlelight dinners.I have no patience for cheaters, players, or even those that play games. Everybody has a past, but, personnalities should not be dinged. Their past can just be bad experiences or experiences gone really bad. I'm very down to earth. Love to laugh. Love to talk. I also believe that honest, friendship, trustworthy, respect, acceptance and communication are key factors in a really good relationship. I LOVE my 9 year old God-daughter. She is my pride and joy!
Yes, education is very important to me. For me, it opens a lot of doors and yes there is a lot of saccrafice! But, the oend result is very powerful! I believe life is what you make it. I also believe that you can only control what is within your reach. I have an AA Degree in Psychology, I'm a Licensed/Certified Pharmacy Technician. For now, I'm a Peer Mentor and working to pursue my BA Degree in social work and really place a lot of emphasis on working in the field of Mental Health. I recently was just Certified in Mental Health First Aid so that I can apply those skills when working with my clients.
