Date women from United States / California / Marina del Rey, 41 year old

Date someone special from Marina del Rey, United States. Me? Why, thanks for asking. I am a petite blond with long hair, possess a college degree (magna cum laude), I enjoy working out, and keep myself well. I do not smoke nor do drugs. I was born and raised in the midwest, and when I finally had enough of the cold winters, I chose to move to Maui for a few years of bliss.
Additionally, I love to read, write, laugh, dance and listen to many different types of music. I can cook fairly well (but think more Rachel Ray than Iron Chef), love wine, and spending time with my friends. Ok, here comes the cliche part: I enjoy movies, as most people do, and can be found staying in for a cozy weekend, or dressing up and going out for a more upbeat weekend. I love animals, and must have a partner who does as well. (Even though I seem to be allergic to most of them.)
I am warm, passionate, sweet, nurturing, personable, playful, flirty, adventurous and can be spontaneous, and yet am an excellent planner. I also have been called perky and effervescent. I love sleeping in, wine, and chocolate. Not necessarily in that order.
I have mid-western values, but have opened my mind to the world, life, people, experiences, etc. I have solid goals, but still find much time to enjoy all that life has to offer. Some other random info: I love dancing, the ocean, and, my drug of choice is chocolate (did I mention that?). Oh, and blondes DO have more fun!
Ok, on to you: besides what is listed above, a SWM, about 40-48, emotionally available, with a positive outlook and attitude. Also, I seek someone who likes to grow personally, and who sees relationships as a chance for true intimacy, trust, love, affection, and a chance to grow together, exploring our similarities and differences with love, respect, and open communication.
Are you driven on the outside, and soft on the inside? Are you looking for someone who will want to treat you well, who isn't petty insecure? Someone who is dedicated, loyal, and still fun? Me too! I am looking for someone who is not afraid to grow in a relationship, both with themselves, and with the other person. Trustworthiness sincerety are also appreciated qualities for me.

Meet a woman from Marina del Rey, United States. I am looking for love. For a best friend and partner-in-crime. Someone who gives me butterflies, a smile just thinking about them and that feeling of a crush that goes on for days. I have a lot of love to give and am looking for the right man to share a life built together. A kind, decent, intelligent, good looking man who is serious about finding a loving and happy relationship sounds pretty good. While I don't always have an exact type, a spark is important. A sense of humor, small gestures of kindness and a good smile go a long way. My parents are a wonderful example of the type of long term relationship I still hope to have. I believe in marriage and do want a home and a family. As I have gotten older, I have realized that family comes in different forms. Children are important and I would love a life with them - whether they be my own or I find that great man who already has children. I am open to the possibilities.
I am a fifth generation Californian, born and raised in Los Angeles. I like to find joy in the little things - sometimes they are the best. Laughing is so much fun and just makes you feel better. People tell me I have a great smile and a sparkle in my eye, that I am sweet and that I am funny. I am organized and reliable and believe in doing the right thing, but can be scrappy when I need to be. I like to think I have good taste. My style is pretty classic with a twist. You can put me in front of clients and VIPs and I always make a good impression, but I am also very happy just to hang out. My friends are important to me and I have managed to maintain many friendships for many years over great distances. I think Facebook is the devil.
Must love dogs! I have a 2 year old terrier mix who I love very much. But, don't worry, he is still a dog. He does not wear clothes - well, except on Halloween (if he lets me).
If any of the above sounds like a good match for you, why not send that email - what do we have to lose? And, if not, I wish you all the best in your search. I hope we all find what we are looking for!

Date a soulmate from Marina del Rey, United States. I am a no nonsense woman who is looking for her life partner. That is not to infer that I want someone to be my partner right this minute. Clearly we have to take some time to get know each other first. I just feel it is important to be honest about where I eventually would like to end up yet still looking forward to the process of even seeing if the potential exists. I feel that I am a fun, smart, genuine, sassy and sophisticated woman who can easily hold my own in high level situations yet I am down to earth where I can toss on my jeans, t-shirt and flip flops to go to the farmer's market. I am an independent and secure woman who doesn't need a man in my life to take care of me yet I am soft and yielding enough to let a man be the man and feel needed too. It's nice to be able to nurture one another. I hope for a relationship where we both have autonomy and togetherness at the same time. By this I mean that we can be with each other as a united front and love being together but balance that with our our own full lives and interests outside of our relationship. I think one of the most disturbing phrases I have ever heard uttered was in the movie Jerry Maguire; the phrase "you complete me.' To me that is not a healthy relationship. No one can be completed by another. We need to be able to do that ourselves. We can complement one another, but we should never need to be completed.
I love to do anything outdoors but I also love to go to a great art show or live music or theater performance. I love world travel and other cultures and hope to do more in my life. I am a perpetual champion for the underdog and can't stand injustice of any kind. I hold people to pure standards as I am someone who expects and gives that of myself. I do what I say I am going to do, I follow through, I have compassion for others' feelings and I practice living a truthful, balanced lifestyle, but I am human too and have my moments and will admit when I do. I love to laugh and just be goofy sometimes as well as to have a deep, thought provoking conversation.
I have only tried on line dating once and didn't like it much but my best friend married her husband (who is now the big brother I never had) from Match. Their story is for the record books (she was on for 2 years and he was on for 4 days! G figure), so they keep encouraging me to get on line again and now I am here giving it another try. On the few dates I chose to take when I tried it before I was told that I looked just like my photos which is nice to know. I am blessed to have my grandmother's DNA in that she looked very young until she was very old. I feel lucky to have that in addition to the health and fitness level, positive energy and exuberance of a woman in her 20's and 30's with the life experience and wisdom of a woman in her 40's. I love my 40's! I don't get why everyone in this town is afraid to tell their age. It's so weird. I am comfortable in my skin and I really like who I am and I embrace it. Hopefully you will too.
I am a very straight forward, honest person. I love my life and feel so thankful and blessed every day for where I am in my life; what I have; where I live. The one thing missing is someone that is truly my best friend (who doesn't mind sharing that title with my best girlfriends :), that knows more about me than anyone, that has my back and I his, that is the ultimate companion and that we get each other on every level.
My ideal life partner is one that lives a healthy, balanced lifestyle, is active and fit, intelligent, kind, compassionate, secure in who he is as person and no, neither one of us will be perfect but we are at least walking a path to be better people, has follow through, is funny, physical, and is seeking the ultimate companion.
I should stop now or you won't have anything else to find out nor will I you! Looking forward to connecting! :

Meet someone special from United States. Fun to be with I am very easy going and I adapt to every situation. A romantic at heart. I am always laughing and smiling. I like to be around people who can do the same. I am looking for a guy that will make me laugh and smile but more importantly to keep that sparkle in my eye and never let it burn out.

Date a woman from United States. I'm an outgoing, active, curious, affectionate, intellectual, sometimes silly individual who tries not to sweat the small stuff. I am proud of my career and educational accomplishments but work doesn't rule me. Finding balance is very important to me and so are the relationships in my life. I make it a priority to spend time with friends and family and I'm a very social person, but also know when I need to chill and recalibrate (via yoga, running, etc.). In my opinion, life is about constant learning - you're never really done. I tend to be attracted to people who are open to learning about others and themselves as well. I'm turned off by people with extreme opinions, who are completely black and white on issues or who take themselves too seriously.
I am often found wearing my Lululemon gear (hence the "Sporty Spice" reference), but I also have an uber-girlie side that loves to get 'glam', put on the dress, the heels and go check out latest restaurant, club, or show. I'm not sure Sporty Spice was a fan of the arts, however. That's where we differ. I love art, fashion, all types of music, literature and film. (Confession: I'm spending FAR too much time on Spotify lately). I speak a few languages (my undergrad major was French) and have traveled much of the globe. I love to eat, appreciate all types of food, a great Malbec and lately, a good quality tequila. I live near the beach and love the laid back beach atmosphere, yet I like venturing out to try new spots all over LA. . Proud to be a 2nd generation Angeleno and love the diversity this city offers.
I'm looking for a guy who doesn't take himself too seriously, yet is grounded, mature, affectionate, athletic and who can appreciate what I just laid out above. I'm attracted to outgoing, accomplished people who also have a strong sense of self yet are open to learning and growing. A guy who is comfortable in his own skin, who has his priorities established and finding a great woman/ relationship is one of them.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I just relocated to California from Miami Beach where Iived for the past fifteen years and am still finding my way around here.
I am considered to be attractive, blue eyes and long blond curly hair.I like the beach, hiking, walking with my dog, skiing, boating, art shows, traveling, wine tastings, dinner for two at home or at a restaurant, biking, house/dance and classical music, going out and doing fun things. I am ambitious but easy going and enjoy my work in advertising.
I'm a witty, playful, smarty pants. I still have a sense of bewilderment and am genuinely happy. I'm a seeker, but not an endless wanderer. I have an east coast mentality, but eased into the non flakey side of California girl pretty easily. I love nature and being outside. I'm outgoing and social, but also enjoy being by myself. I'm strong, independent and kind and genuinely care about other people. I don't like to talk when I cook though I do break out in a kitchen dance.I can be guarded, but when I'm comfortable, I am your best friend.
I'd like to date someone where we can be ourselves. We're each others favorite person. We have each others back and we scratch each others back, but I'll do yours longer. We know drama is overrated. We balance each other. We pick our battles and we both like to communicate with each other. An animal lover is a must for me.
I'd like to meet a soulful, sexy, intelligent man who knows who he is, knows the general direction of where he's going (metaphorically speaking, but if he can read a map then bonus). He is an honest easy-going guy who is loyal, ambitious but at the same time down-to earth without tons of baggage. I am looking for somebody who makes me laugh, is funny and also a good friend who treats others with respect and dignity. He knows himself and what he wants in life and is a good person.Of course chemistry and maturity is very important . He is family-oriented and should be looking for a long-term relationship as well.
