Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm the kind of person who enjoys lively discussions about favorite countries to visit, what "Tree of Life" was really about and what will happen to the Giants this season. And I'm the kind of person who:
• is unswervingly loyal and true and enjoys giving backrubs
• is the one you want by your side during a natural disaster, after a tough day at work, or when eating Red Velvet Cupcakes
• grew up in a warm, affectionate family in the Midwest
• hikes to the bottom of the Grand Canyon even when the journey begins in blowing snow
• loved the passion and companionship of a happy marriage
• dresses up for an evening in the city or dresses down to pull out all the weeds in your garden
• bakes chocolate chip cookies, banana bread, and cinnamon rolls to keep the house cozy in the winter
• believes trust and humor are the foundation of a happy relationship and the keys to passion
• wanders around Tuscan hill towns, the Left Bank of Paris, or the Narrows at Zion National Park
• has already paid for my kids' college education and is financially secure
IРІР‚в„ўm looking for a partner in the adventure of life: a man of integrity who appreciates the active life, a good discussion, passion, his family and my wit.
Meet someone special from California, United States. My first love is my daughter, sheРІР‚в„ўs young, fun and has a wonderful innocence about life and she keeps me grounded. When IРІР‚в„ўm looking for big girl things to do I go out with friends for dinner, movies, running, anything that fits the time slot in our busy lives.
I enjoy great conversation but I’m also comfortable being with someone in silence. I’m not a chatterbox….. I take care of myself and try to work out 3 to 4 times a week. If I’m not able to get to the gym the trusty treadmill is in the next room!
IРІР‚в„ўm a generous, sensitive, loyal person with a good sense of humor who is looking first for a friendship and someone to share free time. More? Yes with the right person.
I hesitate to try and put into words what I am looking for in another because everyone is so unique. Nothing can be predetermined. Here are a few things that I would enjoy.
YouРІР‚в„ўre comfortable at explaining things and communicating, making the complex simple, making the esoteric common, conveying your thoughts. Someone who is humorous, generous, thoughtful, forward-thinking, spiritual and compassionate. Someone who treasures life and who's family is or would be a big part of life. Your generosity and love extend beyond your family, to friends, neighbors, business colleagues and every day acquaintances. You might enjoy photography so that you can capture all those special moments. YouРІР‚в„ўre not afraid of conflict and are willing to express how you feel. Your educated, understand the general world around you. You try and stay healthy, you like simple adventures, you might like going to the gym, biking, skiing, golfing, enjoy friends and dinners either out or cooking and entertaining at home. You are most of all fun loving. You donРІР‚в„ўt stress the small stuff because you truly understand that life is very, very short. We both know how important living in the moment is.
When you do find that special someone, youРІР‚в„ўre a romantic and making her happy makes you happy!
Date someone special from California, United States. I am a dyed in the wool capitalist. My license plate frame is Who is John Galt (the opening sentence of the book Atlas Shrugged). I am very lucky in that I love what I do for a living – which is to help high tech startups in their zero-to-something stage of growth. It’s a blast! And I get paid for doing what I love, so that makes it even better.
But my personal life isn’t as satisfying without someone to share it with: doing fun things, traveling, dining out, theater, movies, good books and… if I’m really lucky, someone that also enjoys ballroom dancing (the old fashioned Glenn Miller type of ballroom dancing, not the artificial glitz of Dancing with the Stars). And someone romantic that likes to snuggle.
Being a successful Chief Financial Officer, I have my share of career wins (and some flame outs). If you forgive using financial jargon to explain the concept – it would be great if my life partner viewed my success as an asset, rather than a liability. For us to be a good fit, you’ll be self-confident, curious and enjoy intellectual banter.
IРІР‚в„ўm told that I have a quirky and sarcastic sense of humor. I enjoy reading (magazines like the Economist, Scientific America and Smithsonian, and books: historical fiction, sci-fi, whodunits, and odd books that I pick up at used book stores), generally curled up on the sofa so I can also look out the window at the view. I donРІР‚в„ўt watch much TV (except Mythbusters and old movies on TCM). IРІР‚в„ўm not fond of action movies, especially when the number of dead bodies in the movie exceeds the IQ of the hero. One of my favorite movies is The Princess Bride (and the book was even better/funnier).
When IРІР‚в„ўm not working at a clientРІР‚в„ўs office, I work at my home office, with classical music, jazz, flamenco guitar or other music in the background. One of my two cats likes to sit on my desk helping me by sitting on important papers and purring loudly (which is the cat's way of telling me that it's time to scratch behind her ears).
I like to try new restaurants and have adventurous taste in food. IРІР‚в„ўve never acquired a taste for wine, but enjoy watching my friends savor their favorite vintages. I adore chocolate, especially bittersweet and orange-flavored chocolate.
Most of my friends and family are techies: engineers, programmers, entrepreneurs, etc. So even though my formal education isnРІР‚в„ўt in technology, IРІР‚в„ўm more than a bit of a geek at heart. For example: IРІР‚в„ўd much rather be browsing the ThinkGeek website than VictoriaРІР‚в„ўs Secret (although that's fun too). IРІР‚в„ўm not Marilyn Monroe, but IРІР‚в„ўm not ugly either. I donРІР‚в„ўt see much point in spending a half hour each day putting on makeup, nor in buying designer labels to try to impress people. I like to dress up for social occasions, but prefer jeans on weekends. As Popeye says: I yam what I yam, or in geekspeak: WYSIWYG.
I like to be with people who are also genuine and honest, opinionated and enjoy lively discussions about politics, issues of the day, technology trends, etc. I'm warm and affectionate, and have never outgrown my stuffed animal collection (although they are now in a curio cabinet instead of on the dresser).
I'm equally at home puttering around the house/garage workshop, in a corporate board room, and dressed up for the theater, parties, etc. I especially enjoy restaurants (new ones and old favorites) with someone special -- a quiet table where we can chat in our own world while we unwind from the day and enjoy each others' company.
IРІР‚в„ўm looking for a life partner who is smart, witty, self-confident, warm, quirky sense of humor, well educated, worldly, optimistic, enjoys trying new things and doesnРІР‚в„ўt care about the latest fads/trends, but trusts his own instincts instead.
If this sounds like a good fit, then let's get to know each other.
Meet someone special from California, United States. I am a positive, energetic, professional woman who enjoys an active lifestyle and is looking for someone to share it with. I have been described as playful, intelligent, open minded, imaginative, a good conversationalist, easy going, thoughtful, loyal and fun-loving....with a little rebellion thrown in on the side.
I love cooking, enjoying good wine and gathering with friends. You can find me on a weekend at the farmers market buying fresh food and heading home to create a healthy meal. I am a music lover, from rock to pop to jazz. I like going to concerts, to the theater, anything from serious culture to pop art. The Mountain Winery is one of my favorite local venues. I like to exercise...running, cycling, hiking in the mountains....along with exploring new areas in the US and abroad....I love being active but I also really enjoy downtime. Vacationing in Hawaii relaxing by the pool, walking on the beach, sharing a beautiful sunset is a favorite. I believe in a balanced lifestyle physically, emotionally and spiritually.
I have been in software sales most of my career, and luckily really like what I do. I am a Bay Area native and have a great community of family and friends in the area, but really treasures having that one special person in my life.
I am looking for someone who is comfortable with himself. Common interests are key, but it's what is inside that counts. They should be kind, intelligent, have a good sense of humor, integrity, dedication, compassion, a generous and adventurous spirit, be honest, open-minded, and laugh easily. I like men who are ok with showing their sensitive side, who well up when something touches their hearts, who laugh out loud when they find something hysterically funny. I'm drawn to men who are positive, energetic and enjoy anything from a night out on the town, to wine tasting in Napa, to going to a football game, to quiet conversation over a romantic dinner for two.
If my profile sounds interesting to you, please send me an email.
Date a soulmate from California, United States. My closest friends would describe me as very loyal with a good sense of humor. I am very grateful for good health and a large circle of family and friends. I would like to meet others with common interests and love of adventure. My idea of vacation was always one that I could use my passport for. Over the last few years, I have found some great vacation spots right here in the USA. Good jokes and fun stories with friends make me laugh. I think that what I would like most in a relationshop would be companionship and finding someone who is compatible.Honestly and respect are two values that I do not think can be compromised. I am most passionate about my family and some of the volunteer work that I do. I am always trying new things and love to meet new people. Not easy talking about myself. I should have had a friend write this!
Meet a soulmate from United States. What I value in others I offer in myself. I appreciate sincerity, honesty, sensitivity and loyalty. I am open-minded and adventurous. I am attracted to men who possess intelligence, humor, and sensuality. I am looking for a true partner with whom to share laughter, fun and the adventures and challenges life has to offer!
I enjoy theatre, long walks, ethnic restaurants, and quiet conversations. Lately, I have been frequenting Opa, a Greek restaurant which recently opened in downtown Los Altos. The local sushi hangout is another of my favorites. I try to catch most of the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts Theaterworks productions. I play tennis at least weekly, but would like to be playing more often.
My friends and family would describe me as sincere, open-minded, intelligent playful, and loyal.
I am able to communicate freely, much can be said through a simple touch, gesture, or glance.
I feel truly blessed by a life filled with wonderful friends and family. I have two teenage children who live with me part-time. I also have a large extended family with siblings, aunts,uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. Although we are spread out geographically and don't see each other often enough we are fortunate to gather for holidays and other major celebrations. Last summer, my cousin celebrated his 50th birthday in Yosemite with 20 of his closest friends and relatives.
I also like to travel. Some favorite "local" spots besides Yosemite include Tahoe for skiing and hiking and Monterey for beach walking. Outside of the US mainland, my adventures have included: Costa Rica, the Hawaiian Islands (Maui and Kauai are my favorites), Alaska waterways, the Barrier reef in Australia and the Greek Islands. Yes, there is definitely a sun and sand theme!
Life is a book still waiting to be finished. Come help me write the next chapter
Date a soulmate from United States. Here I am...easy going, patient, spiritual, loving, intuitive, and adventurous.
I'm excited about life in general but I know the joys of this life can be deeper and richer when shared with someone you love.
I am fascinated with the field of Energy Medicine. I enjoy traveling around the country. I've done some international travel and hope to do more of that.
I'm looking for a friendship....that could evolve into a serious relationship....that may lead to marriage.
How do you feel about serving a mission together? I'm open to all happy possibilities...are you?
Meet a woman from Los Altos, United States. I am a very caring and loyal lady who loves good conversation, listening to music, and the sense of well-being that comes in the company of a kind, affectionate, and adventurous man. At peace with the past and traveling rather light at this time of life, I moved to the Bay Area a couple years ago to live closer to my adult daughter and other family and friends. I love the quality of life here! When friends ask me what I would hope for in a relationship, I tell them that I am flexible on many things, but definitely value great chemistry, trust, unpretentiousness, an upbeat personality, as well as a wonderful, dry sense of humor. Maybe you feel the same way -- it is better not to develop a long wish list and miss that one great romantic possibility that may not have as much to do with shared hobbies or past travels. We might have something totally new to learn from one another!
Date someone special from Los Altos, United States. I am hoping to meet a man of emotional and intellectual substance--and one who is kindhearted and would enjoy knowing my three grown sons.
I am a woman of emotional and intellectual substance. I am kind, self-sufficient, humorous, warm-hearted, contemplative. I would enjoy knowing your family and friends.
Music means much to me and I happen to love opera, but opera is not a requirement! I also love many other kinds of music!
Quiet nights at home reading and talking are a particular pleasure to me. But I also thoroughly enjoy the pleasures of going out to restaurants, museums, concerts, and just sharing the delights of modern life.
The stillness and beauty of nature have always been a big draw for me since my earliest years.
I think you will enjoy my company and I, in turn, would be delighted to enjoy yours.
. I am a retired school administrator. I live part time in Los Altos and part time in Lake County. I have read several profiles on Match and I agree with all the great things people enjoy doing. What is important to me is to find someone to do all those things with. I would like to meet people and hopefully find someone to laugh with and that makes things easy.
I would assume that most of the people on this site have found themselves in a situation that they didn't expect. I know I find myself in this category. What I have discovered is life is what it is and it is important to adapt to situations and keep a good attitude even when it is overwhelming.
I have tried to keep myself balanced and always think of others.
I am a tomboy at heart and don't mind living the country life.
. At the risk of sounding trite, I will just say it like it is....I seek true love with a kindred spirit. Our relationship is filled with kindness, consciousness, honesty, playfulness, laughter, sensuality, passion, respect, creativity, family and friends, Our relationship is grounded in our ability to truly 'see' and accept one another. Personal and spiritual growth are essential. I enjoy people who understand we are all connected and take responsibility for their thoughts and actions, knowing that they impact their own lives as well as the lives of others.
I am sometimes wise, mostly very smart, always have been liberal minded, spiritually open and inquisitive, creative, adventurous, sensual and passionate, and stay physically and emotionally fit. I am enthusiastic, energetic, full of joy and appreciation, and welcome opportunities to share love and laughter. I have long-lasting friendships and a loving family .... my twin sons make my heart soar.
Contributing to community is a part of my life and I am inspired by people who give of themselves to improve the lives of others. I engage in community service as I want to contribute to making the world a better place. I am enjoying volunteer work at two local hospitals and just came back from Ghana where I plan to return to help build a school on a small island.
I have many interests, and am open to explore new activities and places. I have travelled much of the world, and enjoy learning about other cultures. I love partner dancing. My favorite dances include West Coast Swing, Country and Nightclub 2-step and I'm curious to learn Tango.. Sailing is another passion. I also enjoy hiking, wood turning, creating metal sculpture, writing (started writing a novel while chartering in the Caribbean), photography, cycling, listening to music, peacefully doing nothing at all, and more. Sharing activities would be nice, but "who" you are is more important than "what you do".
I am feminine, vulnerable, and soft and seek a partner who appreciates that.
. A date is someone who loves to be outdoors, hike, bike, tennis, etc.; who enjoys sport events, theatre, concerts, movies, museums, etc.; who likes to dine out and chat....and laugh!......a people person, with lots of personality...enjoys his guy friends and sports......or an evening of bridge, music, and a pre recorded TV series with no ads...or a weekend by the ocean, wine country or Yosemite. .. someone who is financially secure, and has a positive attitude:-)
I have been widowed for4 years, and my 3 children have all finished college. This is the first year they all live in CA....and close...SF!
I attend church, play tennis, starting to bike and swim again...start and stop gym memberships..I aim for good health! I have run a marathon, and did triathlons years ago. I grew up on a golf course, however, I did more more sailing on the Vineyard. I think it is time for me to take up golf.
Used to snow ski, although it has been 3 years since I hit the slopes. I broke my ankle on a tennis ball in June and back on the courts again. Yeah!
I know I have a generous and kind spirit and a date would be someone who models character. I believe you should give away some of your time and money. I believe you should tell the truth with love, agree to disagree, and at the end of the day want to sincerely kiss goodnight and awaken refreshed.
Everyday is a journey, not a destination! I do not take for granted the love I share with family and friends!
My sign on name is a book about the 1954 Hurricane!
