Meet someone special from California, United States. You and I will never be perfect and therefore, you and I will probably disappoint our loved one as well.since you and I are human we will also make mistakes and disappoint that person. The only thing I, you or our loved one can promise is to grow, to seek God and ask Him for strength to change. Then you and I will become more trustworthy in our relationships, though we will never be perfect.
Every human relationship will suffer hurt. Thus, we all need to become better forgivers and confessors. That ability to reconcile and spirit of humbleness will prove the depth of our love and commitment.
The components of love, forgiveness and commitment are as necessary to trust in a relationship as is honesty. Forgiveness gives us the chance to start over and trust another fallible human being again. Love helps to nourish trust. Commitment and honesty provide accountability to one another.

Date a woman from California, United States. [7/12 UPDATE: Okay, time to update since both Tebow and Lin are no longer with the same teams. =) ]
ME:
1) Not bothering with those who aren't in same "place" - meaning, if you're not looking for lifelong, deep, mature connection, and don't have Christian faith, please move on. Also, no current/multiple pictures, NO response. Quid pro quo. If you're hiding, why would I bother? Ante up!
2) People who don't tell the truth - BUZZER sound - that's too bad. As a pastor recently shared: "To really be Loved, you have to be Known; to be Known, you have to be Honest."
3) When I say I'm Christian, it means a personal relationship w/Jesus Christ, not a tradition or cultural upbringing. I know Whose child I am. Hope to meet my "helpmate."
4) [M-word ALERT!] I'm marriage-minded, so if you don't want to touch it with a 10' pole (make that 90'--ha!), keep on clicking elsewhere. BUT! I understand that THAT takes time/discernment from both parties. Want to grow old with my partner/best friend in a committed relationship before God (and get off this site!).
5) Hope to "get out of the city" in the not so distant future, out of the "LA rat race". Like being down in the OC.
6) Enjoy college football season as I stepped away for a few years. Pac-TWELVE?! "What the...?" Stanford ranking?! "When the...?" Didn't have NFL alliance after Elway retired, followed Broncos again with great role model of Tim Tebow. Have loved hearing about Jeremy Lin's journey too. All to His glory.
7) I "reduce / reuse / recycle". If you're wasteful (i.e. not good steward of your resources), we're not going to get along. =( Love a good deal / discount / coupons. =)
8) Definitely an extrovert, active go-getter. Grateful for very unique life experiences, traveled/studied in Europe, Asia, and Persian Gulf; lived in various States, appreciate Midwest values.
9) Comfortable speaking one-on-one, or before hundreds (as long as I'm prepared!). Can be loud, (dare I say) obnoxious cheerleader type, but also know the value of "being still..." (finish the verse).
10) Current favorite song: "Blessings" by Laura Story
YOU (God willing!):
Christian/Protestant, university-degreed, articulate / communicative / same lingo (proper use of homonyms and punctuation a "super" plus!!!)
Youthful appearance / energy, attractive in my eyes, similar age bracket (I'm uncomfortable with big age differences; gut feeling) for same life reference, e.g. Journey w/Steve Perry rules! MUST BE lean / active / athletic, health-conscious (Be a good steward of the bodies God gave you! If you're making your heart work harder than it was designed to, you're the only one losing out on the life God intended for you!)
Someone who volunteers, decision maker; someone analytical AND creative; culturally sensitive.
If you have kids, I'm completely sympathetic to the bond that will always tie you. The most important role you will EVER have in life is being "present" as your child's father (of course, this ties in w/faith). =)
Someone who "clicks" with me: sense of humor-wise, and chemistry-wise (a must!).
Pet peeve on profiles: guys who only have pictures with sunglasses. Not sharing your eyes (windows to the soul!) is perceived by women as hiding. Not interested in going through life without genuine connection. God builds our character through growing in relationships / in community.
Alright then, I'm hopeful but all in His Will and timing. Be well. And BE KIND. =)

Meet a soulmate from Los Angeles, United States. I love life and all it has to offer... and it's never ending adventures. Living the best life I can. Travel and Art and Music. I'm passionate about pretty much anything I do.Traveling this big globe and being the best person I can be on a daily basis. Looking for someone with the same upbeat outlook! I want someone who has the ability to laugh, love, cry, relate, and enjoy life. Someone who is emotionally stable and knows who they are as a person. Someone who can make me laugh, even at myself. I love someone with lots of passion and romance. Not just in love, but in life in general. If you have a sense of style... even better :) WIth the right loving, passionate, funny, creative guy we can build a wonderful life together.
I'm very creative. I have a BFA in photography. Although I am in the fashion business, I still pick up my camera as it's something I love to do. Once upon a time I wanted to be a photojournalist... until I realized I don't really "blend" in a crowd and I can't run all that fast nor dive in a ditch to dodge a bullet!
Don't let the blonde hair fool you... I'm smart, witty and wise. Charming and kind as well, I know, the complete package :)
Smiling and laughing most of the days. Most passionate about passion and living life to the fullest.
No drama here. No botox, no plastic surgery, just a natural girl. Seeing that I am in the Fashion business, I wear high heels a lot ( I'm 5' 6 1/2 and I'm not giving them up!)... So if you are super short, it would look rather funny me towering over you all the time. :) I have had the great fortune working for some top designers, so I do have a great wardrobe! I love to dress up.
Traveling all over the globe, learning new languages, exploring, new adventures, hiking the hills ( I LOVE HIKING!), pilates, yoga and swimming. I am very active and am always doing something. I have a cute pink beach cruiser that I love riding around too :)
I love cooking new dishes. Nothing smells better than cooking great food in the kitchen ( okay, maybe a man's neck comes close) Brunch to catch up with friends.Concerts, and live music anywhere... Museums, galleries, wine tasting, and anything interesting. Sailing, or doing just about anything in or on the water. I'm always planning a trip. I love to be out and about.
I don't knock cuddling on the sofa and staying home watching a movie. That's nice too...
I have lived a lot of places ( New Orleans ,Dallas, Washington DC, NYC- for 11 years, Miami, San Francisco ,and Rome, Italy) and enjoy different cultures.However, living in Socal I have to say has been one of the most magical places so far.
I play a mean tambourine, and I am always up for Karaoke. Dancing around the kitchen when I'm cooking is something usual I would do. I'm a very romantic , touchy person, VERY AFFECTIONATE . If I like you, I will be all over you.That's just how I am :)
I have no regrets. Life is what you make it. So, I'm making it. I love animals and kids ( my brother has 3 that I adore).
I have two rescued Miami street cats. So if you have cat allergies... it just won't work.
Although I do like hamburgers and chicken etc... if you hunt animals, it won't work either :(

Date someone special from Los Angeles, United States. Hi! my name is Kelly and I would describe myself as funny, smart and hard working. I am a Los Angeles native and a single mom. I am a good friend, and a loyal, fun companion. I haven't dated in a few years and am ready to be social again. I am a high school guidance counselor in Los Angeles. My close friends describe me as someone confident, who knows what she wants out of life. I am goal oriented and always focused on setting/acheiving personal and professional goals. I see humor as a way to diffuse difficult situations and often try to look at the bright side of things. I have very good people skills and get along well with most anyone. I am grateful for my health, my wonderful family, my son and my circle of girlfriends. I am hoping to find someone like me - easy going, fun to be around, positive attitude, has integrity, faithful, goal oriented, someone with kids who does not want more. I am looking for a relationship, something based on a solid friendship. I am passionate about making this world a better place, being a good person, a great mother and friend. Integrity and living by the golden rule are priorities to me. Common sense, kindness and manners are a necessity. It is important for my match to have a strong work ethic. I believe in karma - doing good deeds and promoting positive energy.
I am not interested in serial dating and would prefer to spend quality time getting to know one person for a long term, monogamous relationship.
Thank you for reading my profile. If you would like to continue this conversation, please send me an email. Otherwise, good luck with your search! :)
PS. I live in Los Angeles, CALIFORNIA! While I appreciate a wink and a nice comment, I am looking for someone in the Southern California area. Long distance just doesn't work. And the weather here is just too nice to leave.
I am also looking to meet other single parents who understand the restrictions of single parent dating.
Deal breakers: drug use, smoking, excessive drinking.

Meet a woman from Los Angeles, United States. Describe myself?? I'm the best of the best and absolutely fabulous! What else would I say? LOL! Originally from the East Coast (i.e. New Jersey and New York), I am passionate about life and know what I want, where I've been, and where I'm going.
First and foremost, I am the very proud mother of a handsome 3 year old boy, who has the most beautiful smile and laugh in the world. I have a strong connection with my son and love spending time with him - it's a total joy seeing the world through his eyes! I believe life is about great times with family and good friends, so I'll use any excuse to get them together for fun. I've known many of my closest friends since elementary and high school, who I truly adore. and respect. I enjoy celebrating ALL the holidays (including Easter, Chanukah, Christmas, etc!) and I've been told I make a mean matzo-ball soup that rivals Jerry's Deli.
Eventhough I have lived in Southern California for more than 30 years and have had a successful career in the music industry and as an entrepreneur, I don't care about "material" stuff or people who focus on acquiring material things. I enjoy doing thoughtful things and looking for someone who will do the same for me. I'm a positive and happy person and I look for the good in people and events. I'm street smart and have a solid intuition that I always listen to. I believe in giving back and helping others, so that is something that I have incorporated into my life on many levels. I am passionate about life and whatever is going on in society - I believe it's important to be engaged and interested. I agree with the European philosophy of working to live, rather than living to work, as my priority is to enjoy life to its fullest with my son and family.
I have high standards of integrity, loyalty, respect and common courtesy for myself and others, and expect to be treated the same in return. I am somewhat old-fashioned with dating, so I like to get to know someone over time and appreciate it when the man does "gentlemanly" things while initiating the advancement of the relationship. Let's put it this way, I don't jump into anything and like to enjoy the adventure of getting to know the people around me. I'm a lady who can either clean up real nice or get sweaty and dirty. I'm active and enjoy outdoor type activities and sports - I'm a pretty darned good tennis player (played since I was 5 years old), love the outdoors and hiking in the mountains, I enjoy road and mountain bike rides, I am a certified scuba diver, I enjoy snowboarding and skiing - I prefer to board (which I've been doing for about 10-15 years) and look forward to teaching my son this season, plus I might try a triathlon just for the heck of it, and will try any sport for fun. So I'm a bit competitive, but it's all for fun and kicks! I also enjoy relaxing, reading a good book, wine-tasting, going to the movies, and kickin' it at home. I really enjoy traveling and have visited many countries all over the world, which helps give me a global view of life.
I would love to find and get to know someone who wants to explore this world together, someone who has a great sense of humor, super awesome family connection (I love lots and lots of family and kids), intellectual, thoughtful, romantic, loves sports, and has an open mind... someone I would come to respect and admire, and eventually call my best friend. A great time together would be something relaxed and fun, and seeing where it all goes. Thanks for reading and good luck to you on your journey!

It would be nice to meet an easy-going, educated, financially secure man who appreciates an outgoing and fun personality. My other qualities are independence, warmth, compassion, and strength.

Once in a while I like to explore new restaurants or visit a museum. Please drop me a line if interested.

Date a woman from United States. Who ever really thinks that online dating is what their future has in store? That said, I am making the best of it.
About me - I am driven and motivated, fun and funny, honest and true, loyal and sincere. Great friend. Amazing cook. Athletic.
I love my friends and family and enjoy my life to the fullest. I'm an LA native - grew up at the beach and now I live in the city.
I have a great sense of humor and want someone who can really make me laugh.
I'm one of the lucky ones that loves what they do. I work for a website that focuses on health and fitness. Great company and my coworkers are some of my best friends. One of my favorite parts of my job is helping people attain their goals and being a part of their motivating team. I love seeing people succeed.
I did my first half marathon last year. I never would have considered myself a runner, but I've definitely caught the bug. I also just started Insanity and Tapout XT. Stay tuned on those....

. I'm looking for a good man to be my best friend, lover, and partner to go through life with. I'm a smart, funny, kind person and I'm looking for someone who wants a lasting, mutually supportive, loving relationship that will enable us to both build the lives we want individually and together.

. Let's see....me...
At a party you would find me on the couch talking to 1 or 2 people going a little deeper, I don't chat up the wait staff but say thank you for my water fills, 50-50 chance on the social cause people outside of Trader Joes. blackberry was exchanged for an iphone, work requires windows but will buy Mac soon, occasional sock on the floor- nothing tragic- yes to cleaning lady, treadmill gets daily use ( with CNN updates playing), yoga couple times a week ( teaching privates as well), play dates and parks are recurrent themes throughout the week, work is from home with conference calls and occasional meetings requiring suits. Daily attire is lounge pants with t-shirt. Living room ; couple small shoes, a random toy, dog bed, cozy couch with lots of big windows to view the garden. tomoato plants are staked, high heels have become the exeption but do appear for date night, quick to laugh, kindness and sincerity are received with big hugs. Attempts at daily meditation, art supply drawer currently inactive but holds promise, close friends, weekly family skype sessions, strong community.
Life is good- if I happen to get lucky and find my life partner- it would be even better
I consider myself a sexual woman- and love the high of great chemistry but have also found that sustained attraction comes with a good connection (yes me and 95% of women- if this is news to you; probably not a match). I believe that we are the architects of our life and that maintaining a positive attitude, clean mind and thoughts, and focus on the present is key.
