Date women from United States / California / Menlo Park - page 2

Date someone special from Menlo Park, United States. I work a lot and love my job. I am a professional horse trainer. I'm looking for someone to have fun with and to make me laugh. Someone that isn't afraid to do something crazy just for the sake of being crazy. An animal lover is a must!

Meet a girl from Menlo Park, United States. People have always told me I am an old soul. My friends and family have been telling me this my entire life-- I remember my aunt telling me I was an old soul when I was 7 years old. The phrase "old soul" is open to interpretation, but I take it to mean that I have an innate maturity and generally good judgement about people and situations.
Ever since the age of 10, my passion has been golf! Golf is my favorite way to relieve stress on the weekends; I try to play at least once a week. There is no sweeter feeling than launching monster drive after a long work week! Right now my handicap is 13, and have a personal goal of 9 by the end of 2013. I try not to take myself too seriously on the course though-- the most important thing about my round is having fun in the outdoors. I do use my hand wedge if necessary ;-) My other interests include hiking, US history, museums, flower arranging, appreciating art, practicing my Spanish, and volunteering.
I have a witty sense of humor that comes out among my best friends that you might not guess I had if you just met me. I think my coworkers and acquaintances think of me as very buttoned up, but when I'm in the company of good friends I crack a lot of one-liners. If you're lucky, you may get a sneak peek at my wittier side.
Simply put, I'm looking for a good guy. I'm looking for a mature man who has a genuinely kind heart, a positive outlook on life, a love of learning, and a sense of humor that does not come at the expense of others. While physical attraction and chemistry are definitely important in a relationship, trustworthiness, dependability, and kindness are non-negotiable!

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm definitely still relatively new to the bay area! Moved here almost a year ago from Texas and have fallen in love with the amazing weather in California. My friends would describe me as fearless, spontaneous, down to earth, sociable, and ambitious. I have a deep appreciation for investing in friendships, enjoying the great outdoors, and being physically active. I am very thankful for the blessings and opportunities in my life and believe in living life to the fullest in every aspect of my life with no regrets.
An awesome match for me would be someone with a great sense of humor (I'd love a good laugh), easy going, independent, and wouldn't mind working out with me and trying new things. Chemistry, however, is the one thing that is very unique and sometimes hard to find.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I am a family oriented woman with a strong sense of self-awareness and confidence. I am looking for a partner who will not only compliment my values, but someone who will challenge me in these areas, and I for them as well.
Having an active lifestyle and a busy schedule is something I thoroughly enjoy; I am looking for a strong Christian man with whom I can integrate these wonderful areas of my life. I volunteer with a number of charities and am passionate about the things and people that are important to me.
I believe that the foundation of a successful relationship is starting with a great friendship. I have been blessed with life experiences that have taught me how to have both fantastic friendships and relationships. I have a lot of respect for myself and this carries over into my relationships. I am looking for a partner that also has an immense amount of self-respect and will hold me in a high regard as well.
I am a passionate person and I put my whole heart into the things and people that I invest in; I am looking for someone who will choose to do the same for me.

Date a woman from United States. What's with the evasive answers for "My Profession". Simple question begets simple answer.
If I were a list-making type of girl, my ideal guy is:
-my bff 1st. I have to feel very comfortable around you, like you. By "like you", I mean you are:
-HILARIOUS, WITTY. I make you laugh, you make me double-over. That's when the sparks fly.
-PATIENT, Kind, Thoughtful (not just to me or when I'm looking but esp to the cleaning crew and cafeteria ppl)
-FLEXIBLE, easygoing--and did I already say funny-- guys are numero uno.
-Brilliant. I'm a sucker for PhD/"nerd"-types (way before it became uber-hip)
-possesses fine verbal agility but not in an unctuous, Eddie Haskell-like way
-Handy around the house b/c I always say guys are good for 3 things: opening jars, reaching high shelves, moving heavy boxes
-Big NO-NOs: tempers, petulance, acerbic sarcasm, passive-aggression, unreliability, or deceit (oh yes, omissions of truth are indeed lies).
-As for looks: Is it just me or are you leery when people describe themselves as "attractive"?
Shouldn't we be the judge, provided you avoid posting pics that are distant, blurry, of pets, your wearing shades, or your riding a burro while sporting a big sombrero? This is in case I need to pick you out of a lineup.
-Personality and character trump this, but admittedly, looks tend to capture the eye before the heart. Never fear b/c the catch-up is soon thereafter.
-Overall, A HEART OF GOLD which supersedes brain, wit, financial success but no complaints if you're the whole dealio.
Now the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly about me:
-Never into the bar/club scene. I'm just not big on loud or crowds.
-I'm more traditional than at first glance: guys take initiative, be sweetly persistent (not stalkeresque) and have insight.
It's clear if I'm interested. And trust me, when I find the right person, he/ will want for nothing.
-A minimalist, sustainable life, sadly teetering on the edge of being a slob a.k.a. a dude.
-I love the Colts, esp #18 (ok, so now I'm a Bronco fan), cooking, batting cages. I'm more adrenaline junkie than bystander.
-Done it: Sky-diving, bungee jumping, ziplining
-Love it: farmers mkts, all things Aloha, SCUBA diving, hiking, camping, CLIMBING(!), biking around the beach, gardening, snowboarding (need to do more)
-Can't wait to: paraglide, learn to play the guitar (that's me w/ my 1st acoustic during my 1st lesson), plant fruit trees, clay shooting
-In short, I'm a blob of walking, talking contradictions. I've always gravitated toward older people (I was born old) who are patient, generous, considerate, and just an overall positive influence. I could certainly use some tweaking.
-I'm more eccentric than exciting but fortunately, many find my idiosyncrasies and non-mainstream style both appealing and endearing.
*Photos: Hair grew back after I donated 12" of my tresses to Locks of Love, a prgm that makes wigs for children who lost theirs to, e.g., chemo, burns. I first donated 17" (picture a reject version of Pocahontas) but witness: me, a purple dress, a month after the whack job (Mother's Day/graduation).
* There's a huge discord between why you fellas and I are on Match.com. You can only hide your DSM-IV criteria for so long. What's with the poor coping skills, e.g., stomping your feet, picking up your toys, and going home in a huff?
-So sorry, I'm not Burger King. You can't have it your way.

Meet a woman from California, United States. I love doing almost anything. Sure, I like hiking, traveling, and kayaking more than anything, but I still enjoy a night of cooking and watching a movie. I am hoping you are someone who can just hang and have a good conversation, or plan a fantastic evening. I really want to laugh! Do you enjoy life? If so, I would love to meet you and see if we hit if off.
I look forward to getting to know you.

Date someone special from United States. About me:
Liberal, talkative, and perceptive. I love learning more about new ideas, systems, and strategies -- in fact, probably the only thing I enjoy more is getting to turn around and explain them to someone else. I am completely smitten by my beautiful brand-new niece. When I find something I like -- like a favorite restaurant -- I tend to stick with it, but can usually be persuaded to try something new as well.
About you:
Stephen Colbert makes you laugh out loud, too. You're kind and funny and enjoying life. You support gay marriage and separation of church and state. You like children and dogs. When you look at a glass, not only is it half full, but you can come up with an excellent reason to raise it and make a toast: *clink*

Meet a soulmate from United States. Take me off this website for good!! =)
My non-narcissistic side prevents me from writing a grand story of how wonderful I am and how out-of-this world my mate needs to be...so I'll just state some facts instead:
What I'm looking for and hope to provide (in no particular order):
--Someone who elevates me and inspires me to be the best me I can be, and who I can do the same for.
--Someone who truly appreciates me, and is forgiving when I make mistakes (which I do plenty of!)
--A positive and honest guy's guy, who doesn't mind wearing pink or holding my purse. :)
--Simplicity.
--Laughter.
--Comfort.
--Hugs.
--Warmth.
--Respect.
--Honesty.
--Someone who I can come home with, cook dinner for/ with, and feel comfortable sharing my secrets with.
--Someone who is my best friend, favorite companion, stellar teammate, and the one I am proud to call family.
--Someone to laugh, giggle, play, and prance around like a fool with on most days...and when the going gets tough, to reason difficulties out in a civil and supportive manner.
About me:
--A piece of art in my bedroom says "If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart"- Buddha...a philosophy I live by.
--I love walking barefoot in grass, and have a favorite local spot I frequent.
--My last 6 vacations have all been beach-related trips.
--My intuition and gut feelings are usually close to the truth.
--I am a sucker for love but refuse to settle for anything other than the real deal. The type of love I am looking for develops over time, not necessarily overnight. I have gathered enough life experience to know without the shadow of a doubt that the long-lasting, forever type of connection I crave, happens when both of us would open our hearts to giving and receiving; sharing the happy thoughts, worries, sorrows, fears, and struggles of our lifetimes and daily life; by going through arguments and difficult situations together that would result in building a stronger relationship foundation; and most of all, agreeing to have a strong sense of respect and admiration for each other...the hope is, this would grow into a long-term, sustainable, "you are and always will be my favorite person forever" kind of companionship, and an "in love" feeling.
I get asked this question a lot so I'm just going to answer it here and feel free to ask clarification...Q: So why are you on match.com? A: I have mostly been in long term relationships that didn't work out. Through my immediate network, I haven't found the right person, and I am at a point where I am truly looking to settle down...not dating to figure out what I want out of life, but dating to figure out if we are compatible enough to trust each other and enjoy each others company for life, take the difficult times in stride with a positive attitude, support each other through good and bad, and start a family together, which I would love to do in the next few years....so if you're looking to date casually and aren't done dwelling in your past or playing the field, then I am definitely not the right person for you...but if you are into exploring friendships to see if that could go long-term, hit me up! ...Either way, good luck with the search- it's obviously not easy and that's why we are all here! =)

Date a woman from United States. Greetings and thanks for checking out my profile.
I am looking for a kind, confident and passionate person; somebody close to my age. You are mature, honest, and take care of yourself physically and mentally. You are emotionally available and understand that communication is a key for a long and wonderful relationship. I am looking for a deep connection that goes beyond hobbies and interests. Please do not snore and do not smoke.
I am loyal, genuine, kind, warm and in a balance of confidence and flexibility. I am self-reflective and attentive to personal growth; before I went back to get my education at multimedia field, I worked in pediatric office, and take care of ill kids. I really enjoy good conversations, food, and laugh.

. Smart, thoughtful and grounded are some of the words friends have used to describe me. I don't take myself too seriously, and believe laughing is an essential part of life. I love to be active, and split my time between running, cycling, yoga, and whatever adventure presents itself next. I'm looking for someone who enjoys conversation (topics might include Stewie Griffin quotes, or recapping the latest "This American Life"), doesn't like games, and worries about missing out on all of the important, frivolous, and undiscovered parts of life.
I'm looking for a partner in crime. Someone who is down to earth, has a strong sense of self and what they want out of life and a partner, a good sense of humor, and can appreciate my uncanny parallel parking skills. I'm all about seeking out new experiences, be it an exotic trek to Turkey or a local mission in search of the best mac and cheese in town. Would love to find someone with a similar wanderlust, who shares my eclectic mix of interests, and understands the importance of fish tacos and cupcakes.

. In chatting with my best friend about finding the perfect match, we came to the conclusion... "You can't complain about not winning the Lotto if you don't play." Ahhh yes, and that brings me here...
Who am I? ... I'm an outgoing, ambitious, fun, passionate, energetic, adventurous, driven girl with a sharp wit that can make even the most daring squirm.
My outgoing & eclectic personality keeps it interesting ... At one moment IРІР‚в„ўm at ease at a black-tie Ball sipping champagne, talking about the latest headlines and the very next day sipping a cold beer at a BBQ debating the quality of draft picks for the 49ers 2012 Season. The foundation for all my life and relationships revolve around my close connection with my family, both immediate and extended.
If you were to look at my schedule of activities the past 2 weeks you would see ... Working; hiking; grabbing a drink with friends; taking in a Giants game with friends; lots of laughing.
Who are you? ... Well, pretty much a male version of moi... Come on, it shouldn't be that difficult, right!?..
What was your schedule the past 2 weeks ... Working; meeting; socializing with friends; fitness; lots and lots of laughing...

. I'm very service-oriented. I like doing Selfless Service as promoted by the ancient religious sects like Siddha Yoga and Buddhism. My ideal match would do service together - volutneering, hosting an orphan, be a Big Brother or Big Sister together, help elderly as side jobs on the weekend.
I am really grateful for my parents and for Christ and God. I was at the edge of my patience and Christ brought me to a much stronger position each time. Finally my parents held me under their wing again, and together we are a strong family. I'm so grateful.
