I am a California native and live in LA. I enjoy working with the elderly and special needs patients. I love children and animals. I have a 6 year old cocker spaniel that means the world to me. Good luck!
Meet a woman from California, United States. I am looking to meet the man of my dreams. Someone caring, smart, ambitious,and family oriented, I am looking for my best friend, soulmate, and the love of my life. I am looking for someone that likes to travel and enjoys the finer things in life, someone who looks at me and thinks they are the luckiest man in the world, and someone that can laugh with me until their stomach hurts, have tears in their eyes, and are rolling on the floor (you know what I mean).
I love going to the farmers markets all over la. I love to travel. I love cooking, and making dinner parties for friends. On the weekends, I like to relax. Maybe sit by the pool? run errands etc...I am at the point in my life where I want to get married, but obviously to the right person. I'm sharp, funny, sophisticated, and savvy. I am very much an east coast girl that loves the West Coast lifestyle.
Date someone special from California, United States. I am testing the waters of this online thing. I realized the other night as I was out with friends that I was enjoying their company too much to wander off. I am down to meet new people, someone that enjoys what life has to offer; someone who is a friend, to learn and grow together with.
I tend to use metaphors and enjoy playing with words, that being said I am more of a middle distance runner then a sprinter concerning anything new. I have a lot of activities and responsibilities other then work and am looking for someone who is understanding of that, someone whom I can relax and share moments with whether its active or not.
The qualities I am looking for are less superficial and more about basics that I believe would make a good relationship whether just friends or more...such as open communication, being considerate, affectionate, romantic, open minded, intellectual conversations, sense of humor, playfulness, knows how to compromise, and mutual respect.
As a local growing up in LA, I love exploring what this city has to offer such as the downtown art walks, pop up art openings at the PDC, and checking out the music scene. Family trips were all about camping up in the mountains, taking road trips along the coast, going skiing, and biking along the ocean. I used to be a competitive ice skater for 8 years, before discovering yoga and enjoy going out on hikes, or just getting out of the house in general. I have biked the Pasadena and LA marathons, occasionally run a 5k, and just did the Santa Monica Classic in May again.
I have traveled a great deal, seeing most of Europe (mainly to visit family) and parts of the Caribbean, yet still feel like I have more to see. With my sister moving out to the East Coast, there's a new side of the country to check out. I lived in London for the better part of 2001 to 2002, and my friends are a reflection of the people I have met over the years from my experiences abroad. The blue skies and palm trees out here are what keep me coming back home.
Meet a soulmate from United States. I grew up in Carmel, California-- a mystical town on the coast of northern California. I am one of those annoying people whose childhood was too good. I've lived here on the west side for 13 years. I am torn between northern and southern California but I do like it here and plan to be here for now. I love the outdoors. I work full time. I travel when I have breaks from school. How bizarre is it that I have lived in California all of my life and have never been to Yosemite but have been to the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua? Planning to do more traveling especially a music/theatre/arts themed trip to London/Paris next year. I love good music-- especially synth and the 80's genre-- basically anything layered with guitar, drums, bass, synth, orchestra, choir, drum machines, excellent lyrics etc. My new favorite artists are Miracle Fortress, Summer Camp, Kishi Bashi, and Neon Indian. Love animals-- especially dogs. I am a "foody"/"wino". I love technology but need someone to sort of fill in that blank. I do typically like nice guys from northern California but that's just me being nostalgic and I do like nice men from other places too. I want what everyone wants: My ideal man is human-- a rare bird. He's gallant, afraid, vulnerable, intuitive, intelligent, emotionally sophisticated, can not only make fun of me but also ridicule himself, sweet, tender, all around strong, loves good music, can perhaps figure out me better than I can figure out myself, can think deeply about life and discuss it-- in turn making us better, can make me laugh harder, nerdy, creative, and athletic.
Date a woman from United States. To sum me up quickly, you must know that I am very driven, and these three things are what matter to me most: making more music, DJing, and getting in shape to compete in a figure competition in September! I am a very busy lady! I am relentless and will stop at nothing to attain my dream(s).
I am highly driven and motivated, creative and inspired yet logical and street-smart, easy-going yet high energy, nice yet tough, cling to a plan but often find myself being spur-of-the-moment, confident and realistic, serious yet silly, unpredictable, and obviously philosophical. I like to be alone at times, but I love to be around people who's company I enjoy, and I love my diverse friends who are all over the world. I am an eternal tomboy and can figure out how to do just about anything with enough time and patience, and I always take the D.I.Y. approach. I am very passionate about the pursuits of my life, and I have many. I do what I want and I live the life I want to live, and I don't want to apologize for enjoying any of it, so I don't. I don't want to be changed, and I don't want to feel the need to change you, I just want to find someone compatible enough with me so that we just love each other AS IS.
And, a little about you... I am looking for a dependable, reliable man who is filled with ethics, integrity, and 100% honesty. A good person and a good man who wants to do the right thing. A man who is modern yet chivalrous, considerate yet tough, kind to all but knows how to handle it when he's had enough, knows exactly when to have fun and when to be serious, has a great personality, driven and passionate, interested in many topics and enjoys conversation, passionate about life and a diversity of subjects. Life is all about balance, and I want the central man in my life to enjoy his career pursuits but also engage in joyful activities such as parties, dancing, dinners, vacations, et cetera.
Meet someone special from United States. I am secure & happy with myself, but...Life is meant for 2!! A little bit about myself: I enjoy travel, am a huge foodie, live music, fashion, and adventure. I am self-sufficient, independent, honest, I have a great sense of humor, & family & friends are very important to me. A man who ONLY has eyes for me & can make me laugh are important qualities! No Pressure! Let's just relax...become friends & get to know each other... and see what happens.
Date a soulmate from Los Angeles, United States. I am from the East Coast but have been in LA for awhile and really love California. I'm a girl that would be totally down for anything from the racetrack to a beer festival to an impromptu weekend trip to the desert or the wine country. I love a cozy night in or a fun night out listening to music and hanging with friends or simply dinner at a new restaurant.
I am focused and passionate about my career and have been in the process of building a business with a group of amazing individuals which keeps me busy. I consider myself an intelligent woman with a bit of a ditsy side that I will on occasion apologize for. I respond to men that are driven yet laid-back, smart/interesting, confident, but not cocky. I would love to find someone who wants to learn new things...for the rest of your life...wanting to evolve and grow as a person and challenge me to do this same. And please be able to be goofy and silly without caring who is judging you. Funny wins! Hmmm...oh and generally... 'normal' is a priority to me...so please weirdos - stay away. ;)
Meet a woman from Los Angeles, United States. oO (What to say about myself? Hmm... why do I feel like I'm being interviewed?)
ABOUT ME:
Well, if you ask most of my friends they would tell you I'm not your typical Korean girl, which in their eyes is quite refreshing. I'm pretty much the "girl next door" who treats everyone with respect and as a friend; a person who is not afraid to try new things and doesn't mind getting her hands dirty. Friends would say that I'm more down-to-earth, loves to hang out, travel, and attend sporting events – from baseball to NBA – Go Lakers! They'd also agree that I am an honest, loyal, and actively involved Christian who loves to sing, fish, play racquetball, watch movies, etc.
I was born in the US, but I practically grew up in Southern California, more specifically Orange County) where I enjoyed the nice weather, obviously the beaches, but not the traffic (oh boy!). Currently, I am working in Los Angeles and enjoy what I do; let me tell you, it is never a dull moment.
So you may be thinking: "What's her story - why is she on match.com?" Well, first I am glad that you're asking that question... at least I know I haven't put you to sleep after reading my intro... well... a couple of my friends who've joined match.com are having a great time meeting new people and making new friends, and they've strongly encouraged me to do it – I guess I had to … right? So I've decided to give it a shot and post a profile to see who I'd meet - for all I know it could be the “guy next door”, a guy clear across the country, or even you =) ....
MY MATCH:
I could probably provide you a long list of charming characteristics, which is probably the exact same qualities you might be looking for in a woman (minus the masculine qualities/personality, of course! LOL), so I will spare you the details.
All in all, at the end of the day, I want a guy who could put a warm smile on my face and comfort me when IРІР‚в„ўve had the worst day. Never does he hurt my feelings or makes me feel like IРІР‚в„ўm not good enough, but rather he builds me up and shows me the things about myself that makes me special and even beautiful. Someone I can be myself with and not worry about what he will think of me because he loves me for who I am.
Date someone special from Los Angeles, United States. Passionate about life, adventurous and outgoing... That pretty much describes me in a nutshell. I'm very driven and know what I want out of life. I love my job, I love to travel and experience new cultures. My favorite place to visit so far has been Croatia! I've lived in many different places, from Ohio, to Texas, overseas and now California! I love to live by the beach, love the outdoors and love to enjoy everything that California has to offer, from hikes to kayaking, to snowboarding and touring wine country. I'm seeking a man that is strong, independent, educated, well travelled (definitely a plus), secure, romantic, responsible and mature. Someone that has a sense of humor, that is a good team player and loves life!
. My name is Lila. I believe in chivalry, but I also believe in pulling my own weight. I love being wined and dined, however, I enjoy returning the favor.
I like being around well-rounded, open-minded and happy people. I don't often venture out to new things on my own; but when I do find myself experiencing new adventures, I usually adapt pretty quickly and always end up having a good time. I really enjoy being around creative types who help me see life from a perspective much different from my own.
I am a very hard-working and determined person and I look for the same qualities in a partner. Once I make up my mind to do something, there's usually no stopping me. I'm not afraid of challenges and cherish the moments when I succeed at overcoming obstacles in life.
. Im an outgoing city girl looking to explore and enjoy all the west coast has to offer.
I am usually up for anything (my motto is I'll try almost anything once), but... on weekends / my free time, I love being outdoors - hiking, walking, hanging out - traveling whenever I take vacation (adventure, beach cultural, you name it), playing or watching sports (Go Bears! Bulls!), and reading. My weekdays can sometimes be busy with with work,, but nights and weekends I can just as easily go to a trendy bar / do the social scene thing as I can just have a chill night at home, cook, and watch a movie.
I'm very close with my family (who are all in Chicago) and would love a cute (not small) dog to play with sometime in the future.I'll be blunt (as I've been told is one my good and bad qualities) - Im looking for the whole package - someone whom Im attracted to (yes, I'll admit my shallowness), can challenge me intellectually (nerdy on the inside), make me laugh, and always keep me guessing.
. Hi
I guess I should start by saying that I'm a happy person. I'm fortunate to have great parents (married over 40 years), a job I genuinely enjoy (entertainment lawyer), a ridiculously goofy boxer-pit bull rescue that I absolutely adore, great friends - all in all a great life. But I decided to join Match because I feel something is missing, and I'd love to meet someone to share life's ups and downs with.
I've lived in a few places - Brussels, Chicago, Paris, Cambridge (MA), Claremont (CA) - and I've been living in LA for the last eight years. Despite everything that is so glaringly wrong with this city, I love it - the ocean, the views, the ridiculous Hollywood-y people. The food scene is great - I love trying out new places and I'll eat just about anything (short of insects and really fried food). I'm not the outdoorsy-camping type, but I love being able to take my dog out at any time of year just to enjoy the scenery and the sunshine.
All in all, I'm a fairly simple person - my ideal weekend involves checking out a new brunch place, going for a walk, hanging out with friends, maybe going wine tasting in SB or seeing an exhibit at MOCA/LACMA, or staying at home to watch a movie and attempt to cook, but definitely not at a club in Hollywood. I'm a big music buff (everything from indie rock to progressive hip hop to classical) and I love going to shows. I also love art and architecture (especially modernist). I wish I knew more about it than I do, but I know what I like, and great design (be it a house, a chair, or a corkscrew) makes me happy.
I'm a bit of a European mutt (French/Italian) and was raised traveling a lot (my family is in Italy, and I'm fortunate to speak French and Italian) so now I try to travel as much as work allows. In the past couple of years, I've been back to France and Italy, and also to Costa Rica, Denmark and the UK. My next trip will be back to Paris (my favorite city in the world), but I'd love to go to Hong Kong and Argentina sometime soon too.
I've heard that many women on Match write a laundry list of what they're looking for in a man. When it comes down to it, I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up with someone completely different from what I expect, so I'm not sure what to include in my list. But I will say that I'm looking for a true partner - someone who is in it for the long haul, someone who respects me but also challenges me, someone who appreciates beautiful things, different cultures, languages and foods, someone who is educated and loves to learn, someone to travel and explore the world with, someone to laugh with. I'm looking for someone open minded and easy going, but also driven and passionate.
Family is important to me and I would love to meet someone who feels the same way. That said, my career is also important to me, and I hope to meet someone who is passionate and driven about theirs as well. I find it odd that so many guys on Match don't even mention what they do professionally on their profiles. I can't imagine spending so many hours of my life doing something I care so little about that it isn't even worth mentioning. Finally, my health is important to me and I would like to meet someone who takes good care of themselves. I can't handle smoking - sorry. Oh, and I guess it's a given when you're French, but I'm quite liberal (not the tree hugging type, but if you find yourself vacillating between Romney and Obama, we probably won't work out too well). Beyond that, I'm not sure - surprise me!
