Date women from United States / California / Los Angeles, 58 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. "Life is like a camera . . . focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't work out, just take another shot." . . . I'm ready to take another shot . . . no, and it's not whiskey! ;-)
Anyway, I hope to meet someone honest, easy going and funny. Someone who is not afraid to experience and try new things. Someone who has a positive outlook in life. Someone who would make me laugh and I know how to make a man laugh. :-) I enjoy being with a healthy, intelligent, down to earth guy. I have lived and travelled in different parts of the world for many years since my early twenties - I was married to a Harvard/Oxford linguist for over 30 years, hence, the endless trip overseas. Can you top that? (just kidding) I never get tired of traveling - there's always something new and exciting about other cultures - Europe, Asia, the South Pacific Hawaii and the Caribbean!
I also enjoy quiet time at home. I love cooking healthy meals, reading, retail therapy, massage therapy, driving by the coast - or exploring around Los Angeles (The Grove, the Promenade in Santa Monica, downtown L.A., the Esplanade, the beach, a musical or a play at Pantages, Dorothy Chandler, Disney Concert Hall . . . or enjoying the different cuisines from a five star to a hole in the wall restaurants. I enjoy conversation more than television. However, I still watch Seinfeld with my daughter for laughs or True Blood marathon with girls half my age . . . (LOL) I also enjoy good movies and foreign films. I like to be updated on political issues and the present economy. I like to do yoga before I start the day and before bedtime if I can't sleep. I also like going to the gym - for health or walk/jog by the beach (from Hermosa Pier to Manhattan Pier and back) or the Esplanade.
I have an only child (a beautiful daughter and aspiring writer) who recently graduated from college. She is my pride, my love and my joy. However, I think I'm ready to go out again and meet an interesting guy. . . I do not have to boast what kind of a woman I am, you'll be the judge of that! ;-)
My first love and marriage lasted for many years (with no regrets) . . . let's find out first if there is a spark . . . then, we'll see . . . only tomorrow knows!

Meet a woman from California, United States. This is new to me, but I thought I'd give it a try. So here goes! I like sensitive men who are loyal, kind and affectionate. I am outgoing and adventurous and need someone who can keep up with my high level of energy. When I think about a fantastic day I've had, it's a day where I've laughed so hard I cried, cooked a good meal with friends, or discovered a new place.

Date someone special from California, United States. My friends tell me I'm a very outgoing person who's lots of fun to be with. I love entertaining, road trips,hosting dinner parties, being in nature, and baseball (my Dad too me to see Koufax and I was hooked - yes I know that dates me), good movies, funny people, Big Sur, summer nights in the desert, long walks on the beach (ha, not really.. how about you?), The Godfather (Parts 1 and 2, but not 3), high and low culture, you get the idea.
I'm a talent agent for dancers and choreographers and have been at it for years. I can't imagine a more fun and satisfying job. I own the agency, which means nobody can tell me what to do.
I feel very fortunate to have a great career and many friends. Now I'd like to add to the mix someone to share my life with, so we can do all that laughing, cooking, nature trips, culture, sports watching, laughing (worth mentioning twice) together.

Meet a soulmate from United States. When I first moved to Los Angeles from New York my east coast friends took bets as to how long I would stay. Once I stopped getting lost on the freeways I knew the hook was in. I might be described me as an elegant New Yorker who has relaxed into the casual LA lifestyle. Would love to spend a lazy Sunday morning reading the newspaper in bed with a great guy then going out for breakfast and going on a mini road trip to explore another part of town. Leading a good life and continue to have passion for my work. Love affection, make killer chocolate chip cookies, have an enlightened outlook on most things and a very open heart.
Relationship style -- when I worked in a corporate environment, management reviewed me favorably as a consensus builder.
Looking for the man who makes his way in the world with intelligence, confidence, humor, integrity and courage. Sexy, stylish, financially secure, emotionally available, generous and positive outlook are important.
Slightly older than my search age but much younger vibe and photos were taken in January 2012.
No winks, please. They will not be returned.

Date a woman from United States. Attractive, smart and fun L.A. native is looking for a man with integrity, a sense of humor and a desire to be in a good relationship.

You and I enjoy our great friends and what we do. The addition of "us" only makes everything that much better. Intimacy, chemistry, honesty and open communication are essential to us. We're both secure, healthy in body and mind and looking for a quality relationship. So why haven't our great friends brought us together by now? Ideally, I'd like to meet someone (wonderful) whose difference in years and miles to my door are under 10...

Meet someone special from United States. I am looking for a long term, monogomas relationship with an attractive, kind and successful man. Additionally, I want someone who values his family and friends. And treats people with respect and kindness.
I'm a multi-talented woman with eclectic taste. I love live and enjoy exploring new adventures.

Date a soulmate from Los Angeles, United States. Back in the 70's I went to this little island in the Sporadic Isles in Greece called Alonissos. My guide book wasn't up to date and a major earthquake had caused most of the village , including the two hotels, to fall into the sea a year or so previously. An old couple, still in traditional black clothing ,graciously took me into their modest abode, dirt floors and stone walls. It was decorated with colorful tapestries nailed onto the rough surfaces, creating a very warm and welcoming ambiance. The couple didn't speak English and I certainly didn't speak Greek, but they brought out a "ghetto blaster" (remember, that's what we called them then?) and started to dance around the tiny room, holding each other tightly and lovingly. They grabbed my hand and the three of us danced around in a circle to, ironically enough, the "Eagles" Hotel California. I saw their love for each other and the happiness and bliss that each emanated. It was the joy of being together ,the common bond, the sacred glue that joined them. I have never forgotten them. They are still fresh in my mind and I can feel their love and the strength of them as one. I guess that's what I am looking for.
Now, what are you looking for? I do love to laugh and love a man that makes me laugh. I love to travel but I love staying at home too. I'm more of a "simple things" kind of girl. I see the big picture but I also like to focus on the small. I always put spiders outside when I find them in the bathroom. I am passionate about food and animals and the ocean and shoes! I'm a woman, after all. I'm warm and nice and absurdly optimistic, even during the "rough times" Resilient, that is me in a nutshell. My whole family, really. In the genes. I love to read and learn and am curious about everything. I'm curious about you! Tell me everything or at least something to begin with. Email and just see where it goes. It will probably be a lot of fun!

Meet a woman from Los Angeles, United States. I live outside the country right now, separated for 8 months, alcohol was the deal breaker, great man but have to move on. I come stateside very often,,California born and raised, love my state, love my country, the USA.
I live everyday to the fullest, I self talk my way through the difficult days and yes, I count that as living fully. I love family, fun , sports and taking part in them more than watching them. Only eat a hot dog at a baseball game. Love to laugh, laugh at myself, laugh with others laughing at themselves, don't judge but I am particular about being in the company of good energy givers, not takers. Surround myself with positive people. My home is my sanctuary. If there is someone that can be almost as dedicated to me as my Golden Retriever companions I would love to meet them. I had put off writing in this section and tonight just threw something out off the top of my head. No doubt I will say more but probably not change anything I already said.
Decided to add a few words. Its been over a year of separation and I am certain my status will continue into that area of divorce. It's sad, I do have compassion but I want to live my life with someone that I have more in common with. I desire someone to experience life with the simple and the grand.
Please have a sense of humor, be kind and compassionate but not needy or possessive. I'm loyal, respectful, courteous and dedicated. I would love the same from you. I love to be together and not having to say a word, not finding it necessary and being great with that. Just a look from your eye, a touch as you pass by,,,is incredibly wonderful. That is a comfort zone that I need to have with someone. I do love conversation too.
I feel I have reached a point in my life where I just want to cruise through and enjoy every single day. I hope by now we have worked through the challenges we have been dealt in life and have become wise to the rest of the journey. I am easy going, yet spontaneous and so much fun. Can I do a black tie affair? Without a doubt and with the most elegance. Can I ride an ATV through the dirt, mud and mountains with the best of you men? You bet!

Date someone special from Los Angeles, United States. And here is a quote I just read: "The young have their dreams, the old their regrets. Only the middle-aged know how to live."
A few facts about myself: born and raised in Rome, half German half Italian, lived in Paris, but love LA. Ex-photographer, studied philosophy, now work in art publishing and published a couple of books of my own.
Books are my love, but I also like to get my hands dirty working in the garden and fixing up my old Craftsman house. Using my body and my hands gives me a great sense of being connected to the earth. While I'm physically active, I also try to keep my mind and heart in good shape by practicing mindfulness meditation—this is the hardest "workout" of them all, but also the truest place to be.
I love a strong wind that messes up your hair, giving and receiving surprises, Sunday afternoon naps, discovering something, open spirits, honorable people, the scent of freesias, laughing until my jaws hurt, and a million other things. I love camping and traveling, looking for unusual destinations (my last one was Assam). I'm always ready for an adventure. But most of all I love my two kids, one at college, the other working in Africa right now (I miss her)!
I am strong and I am fragile. When I give, I give it all, and sometimes I get hurt. But I'd rather live this way than protect myself and then not live fully. What I would like is to share discoveries, feelings, and the joy and awe of the world with a man who seeks a true connection in an environment of emotional integrity, openness, courage, curiosity, and good humor. That should keep us busy!
Best wishes to all of us in our journey.

. I have a kind, upbeat personality and enjoy life. I am fit and petite, passionately engaged with the world, and am told that "I walk tall". I enjoy good humor, volunteer work, have a myriad of interests, and am content doing things with others as well as alone. Boredom is not part of my vocabulary. I enjoy discussions with friends in medicine, the sciences, Judaism, as well as business, law and the arts. I have raised my children through to college years and understand that there must be mutual regard and value for one's partner/spouse in the family dynamics. The children will grow up and have their own lives to create one day, but a good, wholesome companion is not taken for granted. If one is truly appreciated and treasured... it touches ones heart.

. i think i pretty well described what type of person i am in the previous questions. i have been successful in my own business for the past 37 years and am semi-retired. i am a no-nonsense type of person - but am considered a good and faithful friend by my friends. hummingbirds make me smile as do most animals; thinking of how my deceased eccentric brother would handle a situation makes me laugh. i walk every day and do yoga once or twice a week; in addition to my 3 entrepreneurial jobs, i do grief support on a volunteer basis. my next big trip will be scotland, wales and england in 2013 to do some ancestral investigation. did ireland in 2009 and fell in love with the place. i am grateful that i am still healthy to enjoy life and travel. i am looking for a friend first at this stage of my life - not something fast and furious but meaningful.

. I am a designer and artist looking for a man of similar background, with a sense of humor and a good heart. Though I live in LA, I grew up in the South and am considering a move back east (NY, SC, Tenn) which is why I have an expanded search. That being said, I have been known to lead with my heart, so anything's possible! Soon to be an empty nester. I want to put myself first for a change, and enjoy the back nine.
