Date men and women from United States / California / Menlo Park, 59 year old

Date a man from United States. I am a highly educated, professional, and well-traveled person. I am a normal and mature person without much baggage from my past. Through various relationships from the past I have learnt that beyond the initial excitement of any new relationship, respect, integritytrust, understanding and compromise are basic ingredients of any successful long term relationship. I am ready to make a commitment to build a long term relation with a person having the same relationship principals as I do. I am looking for a best friend, lover, and trusted partner to share an exciting and fun future together.
I am a big city person and enjoy going out for fine dining, dancing, seeing a play, or simply going to a movie. I also enjoy cooking at home and entertaining friends or just relaxing at home, listen to music and watch a movie. At the same time I enjoy going to the wine country, skiing, and going to quiet and romantic places.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Hi there!
Looking for a confident happy camper who views life as her own romantic movie, projecting her inner beauty trough her actions and love for her fellow "stars" rather than material posessions. Less makeup: more character!
I am passionate about good design, being outdoors, experiencing nature and giving back to my communities.
I enjoy life away from traffic, texting, noise and television. I look for the good in everything and enjoy life with a positive, easy going perspective.
Honesty is the best policy always. I have the gift that keeps on giving; hopefully you do too.
I enjoy board sports, woodworking, cycling, massage, traction kiting, art, healthy food and s_x. Your interests should include surfing and s_x -and a sense of humor!
I long to live for your smile, your caring eyes and your warm embraces.

Date someone special from United States. Have you ever read a book and when finished turned it over and looked at the cover and simply sighed with contentment? Have you ever seen a stage play and become so involved with the characters on stage that it actually hurt? Have you ever seen a movie whose central theme drilled directly into the core of your being. Have you ever listened to a song and felt the joy or resonated with the angst. Have you ever felt? Are you willing to be hurt yet once more because you have faith that the universe is unfolding as it should? Are you truly alive?
If you've answered yes to most of these questions you're most of the way across the bridge. Go on, take the final step. Let go.
It is very hard to know what to write about in an initial introduction so I will try and keep this relatively brief and relate a little about the trip I took last weekend. I was invited to spend the weekend down in Capitola with nine other people in a huge house right on the beach. Since my parents live in Fresno I spent Thursday evening with them before heading over to Capitola.
I wanted to go a "different" way rather than just back up 99 to 152 to 101 to 17 to 1. I headed west out of Fresno on route 180 which, is a two-lane highway, to interstate 5. That part of the trip was pretty uneventful. That left me in Mendota where I took this little road labeled "J1" on the California State map. This is where the adventure takes over. The signs warned that the pavement stops and the road is frequently "washed out." I figured that the worst that could happen would that I'd have to backtrack.
The pavement ended, the road got narrower and narrower, the Mustang began to bottom out at speeds less than 5mph. Up and around we went up into the foothills through desolate cattle ranches and switchbacks. Just me, the cows, and a meandering troop of tarantulas crossing the dirt road. It took about two hours to go thirty miles.
The road did eventually turn back into a paved two-lane highway and did join up with 101 just south of Gilroy. I probably shouldn't have tried it but it certainly was an experience. I went somewhere that I had never been before and enjoyed the adventure. It was much like me deciding to drive to Canada for lunch, which I did several weeks ago.
The road is twisty and full of surprises, want to come along?
