Date women from United States / California / Mill Valley, 43 year old

Date someone special from Mill Valley, United States. My closest friends describe me as easy to talk to, exciting, funny, loyal, adoring, kind, intelligent, silly, focused, affectionate, appreciates irony, loves to play pranks, energetic, warm, good in an emergency. My children make me smile and are great levelers. I moved here three years ago from NYC, where I grew up, and everyday, the Headlands, Mt. Tam, the ocean, the Redwoods, make me smile. Anything silly or unexpected makes me smile. As do surprises, kindness, and natural beauty.
I am proud of my children, my career, my integrity, my optimism. I am hoping to attract someone who says YES, not just yes. Someone who seeks wonder, and shares it with me. I have a very close circle of friends from all phases of my life, and am very close to my family. In a relationship, I am looking for comfort, fun, laughter, curiosity, intellectual generosity, intimacy, romance - someone who brings out the best in me, and challenges me. I respond almost immediately to warmth, humor, and intelligence. I will stay up all night talking about dreams, adventures, and life goals. And it is equally important for me to be around people that enjoy sharing quiet moments, when talking is not foremost. I need those quiet moments.
I started surfing in October and it is changing my life. The courage and strength and excitement I feel in the water carries into every part of my life - and that has been a tremendous boost.
I am a huge music fan - live and recorded. Music lifts me and I love to hum and dance and sing along, even if I don't know the lyrics. I have worked in the non-profit jazz music world for many years. Love the story of jazz.
I am equally content going out or staying in. I am comfortable alone and am never bored. I am extremely open-minded, and love new ideas. I grew up in Manhattan, loved it there - but am just so happy to be here. Since moving here, life has calmed down - a very welcome change.
Thanks - enjoy your day. And have fun with this - I think it can be and who knows, maybe you will find love!

Date a woman from Mill Valley, United States. Describe myself...
With regard to looks...I'm told I'm physically a cross between 3 women. Perhaps you can guess who they are. People who know me tell me they like my smile, my big brown eyes, and my long legs.
With regard to the other, more important criteria? I grew up in the midwest, moved to California 20 years ago, and am a combination of good fun and good common sense. I love the outdoors. I love children and animals (have both). I enjoy most cultural experiences and do enjoy putting on a fabulous dress and being social at such venues. At the same time, I can hike for miles, take a yoga class, go to any sports event or ride a horse for hours.
My ideal partner is warm, passionate, tall, successful, handsome, and confident. He has a good sense of humor and loves children. He loves being home with me, travelling, attending an occasional social event, and is open to other ideas and venues. He lives in northern California and plans on being here for the long term. One thing to keep in mind...I'll be living here (in Mill Valley) for at least the next 8 years...hopefully forever...so we must be geographically compatible.
If this sounds like you, I would love to hear from you.
