Date men and women from United States / California / Mill Valley, 51 year old

Date a man from Mill Valley, United States. later. Just examining the site and how it works. I'm honestly not ready for this and will not be until 2013 at the earliest. Right now doing a lot of soul searching and reevaluate having recently been widowed.
Yes. Yes, I am agreeable.
Yes, you can ask me anything without fear of scaring me off.
I love to laugh and make others laugh through a sharp wit that more than sometimes drifts into the realm of geeky. (Yes, I embrace my inner-geek at times.)
I’ll try just about anything…twice: to make sure I was right the first time. I am a curator of experiences.
I’m well educated, well traveled, well spoken, and well, a nice guy. . I am just as comfortable in a pair of khakis and hanging out at home, or in my tux at the opera or formal event. I’m not a bystander, I am a participator and live those experiences. (If you’ve only seen a place from the window of a bus or train, you have NOT “been there”.)
Forget any trepidation, and let me make you feel at ease and comfortable. I’m very easy going and laid-back, and do not like people who play games in relationships: I’m straightforward and, respectfully, expect the same candor and genuineness in a relationship. I have been off the dating market for 30 years, so I am not rushing into a long-term committed situation, but neither will I run away from one if the magic is there.
Fine dining, wine tasting and deep conversations about religion, the human experience and the meaning of life watching action/sci-fi/fantasy/comedy/documentary movies, are all on my top ten list of things I enjoy immensely. Or pick a topic: I probably am familiar with it and can converse about it because I have an insatiable curiosity about diverse subjects.
Forget about the trappings, I go for the essence.
I appreciate the finer things in life, but am not hung up on them, so the image-conscious and those with materialistic goals need not apply. What is your energy like? What’s in your repertoire of experiences and emotions? Are you adventurous enough to expand that?
I love a woman who does not need much of a prod to burst into laughter or a sincere, full-body smile. I am passionate and derive my pleasure from the pleasure of my companion. A woman who can utterly surrender to her own enjoyment, without being self-conscious, is the biggest turn-on, so be prepared to let-go around me…you’ll be safe.
You can’t possibly embrace the future if you hold on to any bitterness from the past.
So let’s have a good time and get to know each other.
You probably won’t be disappointed.

Meet men and women from Mill Valley, United States. I am a fun and happy person who has enjoyed the good things in life and so appreciative of living in such a beautiful place! I am a huge lover of the outdoors, I prefer to be in a saddle than high heels, but have no problem dressing up for a nice night out in the city. I love animals, especially dogs, and you will find me usually with two or three dogs in tow. I am outgoing, love to try new things, and am also happy to stay and cook a great meal at home. I have started two successful businesses and would love to share my free time with someone who shares my same passions.

Date a woman from Mill Valley, United States. I am a joyous single mother. For the past couple of years, I have been settling into a family life with my adopted son, now 4 years old. Together, we a have a lovely and evolving extended family and community of friends that we enjoy sharing time and experiences with.
Being self-employed, I am grateful to have some flexibility to adjust my work hours and lifestyle to accomodate the needs and joys of parenting.
I love being in a happy romantic relationship. A good fit for me is a man who wants to build a life together with a romantic partner and is ready for a family.
A good fit for me is a man who is engaged in work he finds inspiring, but that leaves him time and energy for relationships, recreation and vacations.
Must haves for my romantic partner include...
- Generally positive and upbeat disposition.
- Healthy lifestyle and physically fit. I don't do triathlons, strict veganism, and enjoy the occasional cocktail; however, it takes lots of vitality, energy and fitness to keep romance alive while also keeping up with a physically active, energetic and rambunctious three old.
- Generally early-to-bed and early-to rise, except for the occasional dance nights or special events.
A few details that would be nice, but aren't required...
- Bilingual, multi-lingual, or interested in becoming so.
- Short, stylish hair
- Shares interest and enjoyment of Latin ballroom dancing (salsa, cha cha cha, bachata, etc.). I don't want to have to go out dancing without my man.
- Shares love, desire and determination to travel regularly to tropical island destinations in a comfortable style at hotel/resort/live aboard. Has little desire for frequent travel to the snow. I don't fit with ski fanatics. If needed, I can rally for only the annual 1-2 night camping experience, and especially if for the family.
People close to me find me to be high energy and full of contradictions (a true Pisces) I love to laugh and especially appreciate a good sense of humor. I need to be with someone who can see the humorous and sometimes absurd side of life.
I thrive with people for whom healthy fun and kindness are personal priorities. I find drugs, chemical addictions, nasty sarcasm and bad manners all to be romance killers.
