Date women from United States / California / Manhattan Beach - page 3

Date someone special from Manhattan Beach, United States. I'm a sweet, smart, outgoing girl that is looking for the right guy! This new year, I'm hoping I find that special someone.
Family is one of the most important things to me, and I want someone that possesses the same family values. I'm also looking for someone that knows how to be a gentleman. That would be a plus! Having someone that I can have an intellectual conversation with is very important to me.
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, yet I tend to have Mid West values. I'm basically a very down to earth girl. I appreciate a man that wears the pants in the relationship, but also has a sweet/sensitive side and isn't afraid to show his emotions.
Taking initiative in the relationship and not playing games are also important to me.
I like my job, but don't live to work. I work to live! I enjoy my free time during evenings and/or weekends by spending time with friends/family, reading, watching movies, hiking, doing yoga, walking my dog, or dining at new restaurants (wine tasting is always fun too). I absolutely love gourmet foods and often make spectacular gourmet meals at home. In fact, if I had the opportunity to go to culinary school, I would take it in a heartbeat! Traveling on long weekends or during long breaks is a must for me! My dog Tyson is currently the love of my life and spending time with him is another special part of each day.
I've said enough about me! I would love to meet someone that enjoys life, and is able to balance work life with personal life. If I've sparked your interest, email me. I'd love to know more about you!

Meet a woman from Manhattan Beach, United States. Hi My name is Katie! I am an outgoing, fun loving beach girl looking for a man to share life with to the fullest. I love to be outside in the Cali sunshine spending time with good friends or family. I have been living in L.A. for 14 years now, and love it!
I like the fact that I live at the beach, but can go to the mountains all in the same day. I enjoy having fun and being spontaneous, yet I am also laid back and like to just hang out. I am independent and successful at my career. I am athletic and like to be active. A big part of what I like to do is play beach volleyball, walk, hike, surf, swim, bike, snowboard and even love to watch sports. I am always up for something new whether it be a challenge physically or in my career. I enjoy time off to travel, relax and enjoy life!
I am looking for a man who loves life, has a sense of humor and will live each day like its his last! He needs to be someone that is fun, laid back, likes sports, but most of all a guy that know what he wants. Sounds simple but it's hard to find. Someone that is fun, easy going, honest, confident, athletic, and up for anything. An attribute I look for is ambition and drive, it tells alot about a person. I like someone that has opinons and isn't afraid to challenge things, and a guy who can make me laugh!
He must know how to work hard, but play hard too! A balanced life partner!

Date a woman from Manhattan Beach, United States. Disclaimer on all the smiley photos: life has been good to me! Really good! :) I have a self-made, established career, the best family, good friends around the world, healthy body and mind, athletic pre-disposition, 2 (frequently used) passports, a positive outlook and a go-getter attitude. My theory is that all of that just keeps going around and around in circles :)
Overall, I'm in a really good time-and-place in life... stabilized, time to enjoy the fruit of hard work! Been in LA for about a year now... (from San Diego this time around) ... would love to find my “better half” already! ;) Cheesiness aside, the truth is... under the tough skin and reserved nature, I’m a hopeless romantic.
I’m also the girl next door (the neighbors can confirm…) Down-to-earth, extremely mellow (contrary to other vibes this profile might emit) ... balanced, well-rounded, part shy, part nerd, adventurous, athletic, affectionate, and crazy about my family!
-----------------------------
Who am I looking for?
- Someone who matches on multiple levels… personally, professionally, intellectually, physically…
- A gentle-MAN! Someone with values and a genuine, good heart... someone who’s got their act together… is poised, caring, chivalrous, honest, loyal, affectionate, considerate… (machos, bad-boys, ADDs need not apply ;)
- A best friend and companion… someone to play ball with, talk to, confide in, listen to, learn from, grow with, admire, travel with...
Are you out there? knock, knock…
(if so, send a note... don't just wink... show your true colors ;)

Meet someone special from California, United States. Having been all over the world and enjoying the experiences of a lifetime, IРІР‚в„ўm happy to be back in the LA area. IРІР‚в„ўm hoping the next stage of my life involves a great mean, new adventures and fun! You may notice that I donРІР‚в„ўt look nearly my age, but I have stories and fun adventures to prove otherwise. Plus, age is only a number anyway!
One of my many talents includes the ability to not only belt out a great tune in the car, but make up silly songs about things going on around me. Some may think it’s childish, I think it’s fun and entertaining. Life is meant to be lived! In one word, fun loving describes me best. The man for me can laugh at life’s crazy moments. He has a yearning to see the world and other cultures—but enjoys a quiet night at home to relax and take in the peaceful moments.
Start with an email and a hello—I’d love to hear from you!

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm a Brit who has lived and worked in a few different cities and countries. I'm outgoing, a bit sarcastic, and a NorCal girl at heart, though SoCal is growing on me! Family is very important to me, and I will do anything for my friends. I asked my friends how they would describe me and they used words such as happy, energetic, caring, outgoing, and someone who smiles a lot.
I love to travel, IРІР‚в„ўve made it to six of the seven continents, and have no doubt that IРІР‚в„ўll make it to Antarctica in the next couple of years. I'm the sort of person who likes to try new things, whether that be rock climbing as I'm scared of heights, or some unidentifiable meal in Asia! The one thing I am not rushing to try (though like to watch) is surfing as I have an irrational fear of sharks, I blame too much Shark Week on Discovery Channel! ; )
IРІР‚в„ўm looking for someone who I have a connection with, someone whose interests are all over the place as mine. A guy who is as happy waking up early to go for a hike as getting dressed up for dinner in the evening. Someone with good manners and a bit of chivalry, who likes smart, outgoing women.

Meet a woman from California, United States. Hi there! A little about me: I love meeting new people and traveling the world. My hobbies are cooking, painting, snowboarding and dancing. Lately, I have been loving yoga! Amazing what a little flow will do for your life. I have great friends and an amazing family. Seriously, my parent's are still married. I love to be active and adventurous. My passion for politics and economics tends to surprise people, but I can talk about current events any day of the week! I hope you can too! The club scene doesn't do it for me much anymore and I would prefer someone who is on the same page. I would much rather bbq with friends or cook dinner and watch a movie, instead of bar hopping every weekend. Xbox dance off anyone? I will smoke you :) I am confident and independent, and I admire that in a mate. I want someone I can have fun with! No matter if we are watching TV, or traveling the world. Someone who is loyal, honest, ambitious, and cares about his family and friends. A guy with conservative values and who wants a meaningful relationship is a great place to start!
My job can be somewhat demanding at times and requires me travel a lot. I would love to be with someone who "gets" this and instead of adding to the stress in my life, picks me up from the airport with a smile and warm welcome. That is what will make me never want to leave!
I find manners, intellect, humor, athleticism, romance, and good listeners very attractive. If you are down to earth and can make me laugh...I want to hear from you. :)
Namaste

Date someone special from United States. I was raised on a farm in Costa Rica. I am curious. I am grateful. I am easily amused. I laugh often. I have traveled the world. I enjoy the perspective I gain from different cultures and socio-economies.
I was born in the U.S. from Costa Rican-born parents. My mother is a former family psychologist secretary. My father was an aeronautical engineer. My parents met in the U.S. while they attended school.
I am perfectly comfortable working on the farm in Costa Rica with a machete and rubber boots or attending a black tie event.
When I asked my closest friends to describe me, this is what they said:
You have a big, warm heart.
You are very smart, perceptive and have incredible intuition and insights on people and situations.
You are strong... stronger then you probably give yourself credit for on an emotional basis.
You have tons of love to give.
You are incredibly giving and caring about people.
You are a great partner... you have great ideas and do well in "brainstorming" and creative situations when you are comfortable with your surroundings.
You are versatile and adaptable.
You are elegant, yet down to earth.
You always just say it how it is.
You are a breath of fresh air.
You have a good head on your shoulders.
You are a great companion. You make friends anywhere you go.
You are charming and witty.
Since I was a little girl and up to a couple years ago, I overloaded life with extracurricular activities; sports, advanced academics, student government, founder of a few organizations, leadership organizations, non-profit work, board positions, career advancement, etc. I also had my fair share of celebrating in clubs, bars and parties around the world, and that stage of my life is well in the past. Today, I value a good night sleep, eating well and exercising.
I have a wonderful family (all live in Costa Rica) and amazing lifelong friends (several live around the world). I am loyal to them and truly value spending time with them, even if that means I have to travel to see them. (I know, tough). I consider some cousins and lifelong friends siblings, their spouses family and their children my nieces and nephews. I love children and I take pride in being a good and fun "tia" (auntie).
As part of my undergraduate and graduate studies, I lived in Asia, Europe, South America and the Middle East. And, served as a vice chancellor with the Costa Rican Consulate in Los Angeles. I have conviction for endeavors focused on international development and helping countries achieve greater socio-economic progress. I travel to Washington D.C. often.
What I look forward to:
Sharing life with a mature and intelligent man that I respect... that I like as a person... that I trust.
Developing a relationship with a "good, solid, goofy fun" foundation.
Learning how to deal with each other's strength and weaknesses.
Balancing each other's wants, needs, idiosyncrasies.
Building a family and giving him children.
Finding solutions to "real" struggles/problems.
Staying focused during stressful periods
Feeling that bringing out the best side of each other is natural... feels natural.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Hi guys, I am looking for someone particular who is hard to find..can you help? :)
GUY VERSION ;)
The cliff notes version: I'm looking for a handsome man both inside and out. Good roots, good principles, good intentions, good sense of humor. As for me...I once stopped the 405 during rush hour when my tuna can on wheels rental from the BMW dealership beeped as it was running out of gas in a fast lane. Ha! When I'm not stopping traffic, I like to eat avocado anything, even sandwiches. I also love to make juicy steak sandwiches with caramelized onions and arugula on ciabatta with my "secret" spread. I'll always take dessert a la mode. But that's for after swimming which I have been doing since I was 1. I actually saved my mom from drowning when I was 10 or so; now maybe you can save my 9'0" from its dusty fate and me from those sharks!! Or you could help with my Spidey sitch. Yeah he comes around every now and then and seems to like to make his web entrance right on the center of my bed right on my minky chocolate throw...tricky devil.. so maybe you can shoo him out the door for me.I don't like to kill anything! I even once named a lobster Louie who was rolled up on a restaurant cart alive and well (so wrong) and vowed not to order any lobster for the night! And if we get one fortune cookie, I promise to share my fortune with you ;)
FULL VERSION
I'm an empath. I have volunteered and want to continue to make that part of my life. I will often go out of my way to help friends and not to hurt others which seems to be rare these days. I have a kind heart and can be one of the most loving people you've ever met, but I also will not let anyone take advantage of that and stay away from narcissists, meanness, and sarcasm (other than good spirited teasing).
On the fun side, I love adventure. I've been skydiving, hang-gliding, windsurfing and waterskiing, ridden stand up jet skis, snorkeled, taken a helicopter ride, been to a high performance car driving school, assisted take off and landing in a private plane,taken a glider plane ride, taken a long flight in a small private plane, jumped off a 3 story high yacht, paraglided, kayaked, taken an airboat ride and held a 3 ft long baby alligator, shot targets at a pistol shooting range, driven an ATV and Hummer off road, not to mention long board surfing, snowboarding, powerboating, and sailing.
You come from a good family,had a happy childhood,and are still close with your siblings and parents.You are a compassionate,honest,humorous,light hearted,intelligent (I love brainiacs as long as they have no underlying issues), handsome,refined,and selfless man.You love to help others and are the supportive/protector type but not in a controlling way.You truly care about other human beings,children,and animals.You are looking for a serious relationship with a best friend/love/soulmate because you've realized life is meaningless without people you love.you understand this deeply and won't let past hurts or heartbreaks close you off to opening up again and falling head over heels with total abandon.your heart is not hard to get to and it's open to the possibility of true love. Ideally,you naturally take the lead,plan the dates,open the car door, walk closest to the street.You are sensitive and thoughtful in your words and actions, laid back, and spiritual and this makes you ah-mazing to me! You are the GQ type but as looks fade; heart counts more!

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I guess I am a lot of things: independent and adventurous... willing to try anything once. However, I also enjoy my quiet, introvert moments as well. As much as I am super driven at work--I work hard and enjoy it--socially I tend to be very laid back. And yes, I am a huge nerd... I'll talk Excel anytime.
I have spent the last seven years working and living abroad (Caribbean, Europe, SE Asia) and really enjoyed it. It was an amazing experience to see so much of the world and delve into so many cultures. Now I am back and getting my MBA, going into consulting, which is a bit of a change from my previous life, but a great transition back to a more normal life.
I like to laugh and learn, and tend to geek out about anything efficiency related, math and cool engineering stuff. Made a decision tree to map out the best route to work given the time of day? ...that would be me. My sense of humor tends to waffle between bad puns, dirty jokes and irony, and I do get pretty intense giggle fits.
Sports are a passion for me, having ridden horses competitively when I was younger; I enjoy a challenge. I can windsurf (ok, sort of), surf (have surfed poorly in three different oceans!), snowboard, sail and play volleyball. More regularly I swim for fun, run and ride my bike on the beach. Love for competition also extends to watching sports, enjoy football, F1, baseball, soccer... OK, pretty much anything competitive.
I am looking for someone to hang out with and have fun. Someone who also likes laughing and sports, and a great meal. What about you?

. I am in search of someone who is confident, but does not walk on others . . . someone who is interested in a future, but not obsessed with it. I admire people with big hearts who are passionate and generous with their love and time. As for me, I am a smart, athletic, leggy 6' blonde who needs to be with a guy who is into fitness and loves to exercise. My idea of the perfect date involves body surfing, a great dinner and drinks by the beach. I moved from DC to Manhattan Beach...primarily for a better quality of life, hopefully that will include you!
If this quote resonates with you, I'm your girl: “Health is obviously so much more than a disease free interlude. To be healthy is to have a body toned to its maximum performance potential, a clear mind exploding with wonder and curiosity, and a spirit happy and at peace with the world." -Patch Adams
As for kids, I am really open to a lot of possibilities, but I do know that I want them in my life. I grew up with amazing parents who love me unconditionally, and I would like to share that with my partner as well as the children in my life, be it ours, his, or someone else's . . I believe unconditional love is our greatest gift to give.

. Me: Playful, out-going, loyal, loving, lively and affectionate. One of those people that is there through thick and think for those I care for and love. I have been called feisty and a firecracker, but in an entirely good way--think a little ball of energy. I grew up a tomboy, playing with boys, and then came into my own a little later in life (I prefer dresses and heels now, but if you catch me off guard, you might find me in some jeans, a little tank top and a baseball hat with a coors light). Disclaimer: I still like to play with boys. If I meet the right person the possibilities would be endless and I wouldn't trade him for the world.
What I am looking for--Hmmmm: A good time, and someone who doesn't over think things too much. I like someone who is masculine, confident, ambitious and spends time nurturing his mind and taking care of his body. I like someone who is not afraid of risks, and who isn't afraid to get what he truly wants in life (from his career and whom he wishes as a partner). Wit and humor, I am overwhelmingly attracted to. If you make me giggle, your in like Flynn. I adore someone that I can listen to for hours about mundane stuff (work, sports in general, ect). Socially, I like sitting in the passenger seat while the man drives. I like someone with a plan, and who puts effort in, because that makes me feel safe and secure. He will get the same effort back. Small gestures work tremendously.
I love working out, and I am at the gym 6 times a week, so it would be nice to have someone to run with, and be kids again with (obsessed with half marathons right now, and love to run on the weekends). I also enjoy cooking for my significant other (taking courses right now so I don't kill anyone), surfing (although just starting), and hiking. I like hiking in Los Angeles (Runyon, paths by Studio City, Malibu State Park, ect). As much as I like running around town, trying new places and meeting new people, nothing beats a bottle of wine, a fireplace, and a boyfriend sitting next to you.

. Hello!
I have not been on here in so long (7/21/2012) nor read email, and was sure my membership was cancelled, but no! I have recently moved to S. Redondo but have lived in the S. Bay off and on for many years.
I have recently formed the foundations for the career of my dreams and I am thrilled about what the future holds. I would love to meet a great companion that enjoys sharing new things with me as I do him. I am looking to have fun in life and having the right partner to enjoy the happiest parts of it! *I do try to respond to most emails, but if I do not - please - do not take it personally. I am a nice person but unfortunately don't have all the time in the world to respond to every email that isn't a match for me. :)
I am creative person and I love learning something new all the time, I feel it keeps that creative spark alive. I love spending time with my close friends and their families on a Sunday evening in a beautiful garden backyard.... I like to enjoy a great evening at a gala event or beer and oysters. I want to keep having a great time in life while I look for a man who can keep up. Energy, kindness and a zest for life are a must. I have a strong spiritual side and like to keep my inner circle drama free. I'm originally from Texas so not only do I still have some two-step skills, but I'll get in the ocean or spend the night in a tent.
I am seeking friends and ultimately a great man who is confident and kind and in touch with his spiritual side, although 'religion' is not required- someone fit enough to get up in the morning to gather the firewood!! A man who knows how to create and execute the plans of his life and with whom I can savor the small moments in life as well as the dream vacations! Where is my Amazing Race partner?!!?! lol
