Date men and women from Los Angeles, United States. I can't imagine anything more difficult than trying to describe myself. Robert Burns said “Oh, would that God the gift would gee us / to see ourselves as others see us.” But it makes me wonder if I really want to know how others see me. I'm not sure exactly how I see myself anyway. I like to think I'm an honest, loving person, but I also have to question how much of that is wishful thinking. "To thine own self be true, ..." is the advice I like to take. I try to behave the way that feels right.
I teach fashion and many students tell me that I'm very patient, and they find my teaching methods help them to learn how to make clothes. That's good to hear because I enjoy teaching, but I have to do it the way that feels right to me. I do it by assuming that each student wants to do what I have done since I was very young - that is, design and make clothes, and wear them. It would appear that I'm right in this assumption.
Oscar Wilde is a hero of mine. I'm a hedonist and I think art is the highest achievement of human beings, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'm passionate about the things I make - mainly clothes. They have to excite me and that's not easy to achieve. Nevertheless, I have managed to make quite a few clothes and other things which satisfied that requirement of mine, and I've enjoyed seeing other people express pleasure with the product of my endeavours.
I hate planning for the future. I like to live in the moment.
Meet a woman from Los Angeles, United States. Inasmuch as I am a fun loving person that enjoys laughing and having a good time, the most important trait in a potential mate would be a great sense of humor. I love movies and am a pop culture enthusiast. I have a beautiful garden and it gives me great pleasure to tend it every day. I enjoy traveling and have seen a lot of the world. It is important to me to maintain my health and well being and to that end, I work out regularly and eat healthfully. I have great friendships that I have had for most of my life and they are a great support system in this crazy world.
Date people from Los Angeles, United States. I am a true romantic. So are you. The love is shared both ways. We believe in walking hand in hand to the end of life's road. We believe in unconditional love and make allowances that we are human with our own thoughts and feelings, but always on the lookout for the feelings of the other. We like to touch, share quiet moments never needing to say a word watch sports together, are bound in a way only the truly romanic can understand, yet have our private time with ourselves, or our children or even God. We believe there are many more good people in the world than bad and we look for the good, but we are on alert that there are also bad people out there and we try to protect each other and our children from them. We have chosen to put each other first as we understand that is the only way a relationship can work, and we have made our loved ones understand this. WE have both experienced undescribable pain in the loss of spouse (not necessarily through death, but divorce can be extremely painful) and have no jealousy towards the special place in each others hearts where that person will always dwell, but we do have room for each other and hopefully for each others family and friends. Oh one other thing, I am not a coffee drinker, so if you want to meet for "coffee" expect me to order tea.
I am a retired medical professional and loved what I did. I still care for my 93 1/2 year old mother and am still raising a 25 year old daughter and helping her raise her 3 1/2 year old son. I studied for and passed the RCFE exam for California in February and as soon as I finish refurbishing my mothers house I will probably go to work in a new career, but still in the health care field (the jury is still out on this I have the option to not return to work, I'll decide when the house and other items are resolved). . My mother moved into an assisted living facility in November and I had no idea it was going to take so long and so much energy into refurbishing a 60 year old house for lease...I hate to think of what I will have to do when I decide to sell it.
Addionally if you are under the age of 68 please do not contact me, I am no cougar and I just can't see myself with someone whom I have so little in common. I am looking for a best friend first and all other avenues after that...if you have been married and lost your spouse you know what I mean. If divorced it is even more important that we are friends first..chemistry or not...I am looking for the man who is in a relationship for the long term..are you he?
Meet men and women from Los Angeles, United States. I'm an intelligent, lively and cultured woman with a good sense of humor, looking for a man with similar traits. I spent my first sixteen years in New York City and moved to California in 1960. I worked for 27 years in medical claims insurance for an actors union and raised a wonderful daughter who is now happily married and involved in her own career.. I got my B.A. in 2000 and went on for my masters in creative writing. Everything but the thesis, got sidetracked by writing; and now finished my first tongue-in-cheek detective novel and am working on a second. I feel a strong affinity for writers and other creative types. But I can also relate to someone who appreciates the arts but whose own interests lie elsewhere. I'm interested in understanding how to save the environment and what caused the financial crash we are in. I read. I am a combination of practical and romantic.
I enjoy the "out-of-doors" but I do not climb mountains or hike due to a knee injury obtained rehearsing as a pirate in a production of The Pirates of Penzance. But I'm willing to try hiking again, as I jog, love to walk and explore. I enjoy the beach, swimming, sailing, walking. I look ten years younger than my age and have longevity genes. (Mother is 102). I've sort of given up on the movies but I am willing to try again. Mostly into DVDs at home. Always listening to the radio, classical music, but I enjoy many types.
My pictures are all within the last three years. I haven't changed much. Have added a new photo.
I'm looking for a man who takes care of himself, is independent, interested in many things including the earth and would enjoy developing a loving relationship.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I'm bright enough to have become a professional, I'm attractive, and have a great sense of humor. I'm also good at feeling empathy and caring for someone. I'm working part time and really enjoy this. I like laughter, spending time with friends, movies, dining out, taking short trips along the coast, museums, theater. I also enjoy being at home, reading, movies, the internet, puttering. There's always so much to do at home. I guess the most important thing to me is family and friends and laughter. What better to ease all our concerns. And a romantic relationship would be wonderful! I'm hoping to find a man with whom I can share laughter and who can be a serious confidant as well. I'd love for him to be romantic, bright, funny, strong emotionally and able to accept a strong shoulder as well. And doesn't it all boil down to chemistry? I would love to find the right connection, and be able to nurture it.

Date men and women from California, United States. Friends look to me to be the organizer, ask the recycler, she will know what to do. Adorable children make me smile, they are so innocent.

I have an active social life, lots of movies, dinners, new and old friends. I laugh at the most ironic situations. I am looking for a good companion, someone smart, interesting and interested.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Sometimes you'll find me laughing at a peculiar moment. It's much better when we do that together -- laugh that is, not necessarily have peculiar moments (although that could be fun, too). I've done (and sometimes still do) stand-up comedy, I write humorous personal essays, play the piano, IРІР‚в„ўm a pretty good cook, IРІР‚в„ўm reasonably intelligent, and I have a dog, but I'm allergic to cats. IРІР‚в„ўm straightforward, mostly low-maintenance and fairly easy-going. I have two grown children and two adorable grandchildren. Walking is one of my favorite activities -- alone, with my dog, or with a friend. IРІР‚в„ўm working on losing my extra weight, but who isnРІР‚в„ўt!?! Antique stores/shows and even junk stores are fun. I like movies, reading, good conversation, strong coffee in the morning, long kisses at any time, touching, hugging, intimacy and whatever is next. I'll grapple with you for the Sunday comics and crossword puzzle. And Dodger Dogs and chocolate are terrific, although not necessarily together. IРІР‚в„ўm giving, loving, sensual, passionate, honest, loyal and dependable. I believe that couples should be able to talk about anything and everything, should both trust and be trustworthy, be caring and feel cared-for, be loving and lovable. And when not being lovable, IРІР‚в„ўll settle for simply not sulking.
I'm seeking a man who is available for a long-term relationship.
If you contact me, I'll always write back. If I contact you, I hope you'll do the same.
