Date men and women from United States / California / Napa, 49 year old

Date single man from California, United States. Where do I begin? Well I see that quite few of us start with “my friends would describe me as” so, let’s just roll that direction. Now, does my potential date want this description coming from my male friends? They may, but probably not. As you may be aware many males, when describing their friends, may have the tendency to embellish their portrayal of their childhood friend, college roommate or bar hopping buddy. So I figure a good solution to this dilemma would be to recruit the help of a female friend. And what better female to provide a description of me then an “office wife”. Now I’m sure there are many of guys out there that have an office wife, well I’m one of the lucky few I have two of them!! I can assure you that their descriptions, while solicited, come from their hearts, as they are brutally honest, and pull no punches. They hold me to high standards in my professional and personal lives and want me to be happy and find someone that accepts me for who I am.
So, here they go…”He is a successful, really funny, charismatic, hardworking, great father who likes to have fun with his kids, sincere, can be a bit moody, analytical, problem solver, supportive, caring, good listener, addicted to coffee, has a great sense of humor, likes to joke around and at times can be a smart-ass”.
I’m the father of three really incredible boys, 9, 6 and 3…WOW, now what a dynamic that is; laughing, playing one minute, ready to pummel each other the next!!! Sometimes you just want to scream, but you forget all about that when you get a BIG hug from them at the end of the day!! They are the most important thing in my life and I love watching them grow, explore and learn. They sure do keep me feeling young.
Between work and taking care of my boy’s I don’t travel or vacation nearly as much as I should; when I do I prefer there to be a beach in the equation. I’ve got to get back to Kauai soon…what a laid back atmosphere, I love it there especially the North shore. I would also like to get back to Turkey and Greece and add Egypt since it’s on my bucket list.
Let’s what else about me…I love being outdoors; Backyard BBQ, ball game, the City, the mountains, the beach it’s all good. I love the sound and smell of rain. Wished I skied tried it once, boy that was harder then I thought it would be. It probably would’ve been a benefit to take a lesson or two! I do want to give snowboarding a try though; I’ll put that on this winter’s to-do list. I’d love to start golfing; I haven’t golfed in 20 plus years and I’m the only one that doesn’t golf at work. Use to be able to drive the ball pretty good, but the short game sucked. I’m sure that they both suck now so I guess I should sign up for some lessons or if you have a 5 or less handicap you can be my instructor!!
Oh I love to cook, enjoy spending the day in the kitchen creating something tasty. And I’m always up for BBQ’ing for friends and family…I’m a big fan of the pig!! Entertaining and sharing a good bottle of wine or two with friends is a must.
So, I’m looking for someone to be my best friend, my hanging out partner, someone to share in both the good and bad times in life. You’ve got to love to laugh and joke around. Have the gift to be goofy and silly one minute and serious the next. Hop on the ferry and spend the day walking around SF or spending the day at Doran beach (such a child friendly beach). Family must be IMPORTANT to you and you must love kids and definitely someone who’s bold and can walk up to me and give me a deep passionate kiss or smack upside the head if I need it!!
I’m kind of wanting to take things slow right now, just looking to get my feet wet however, if the chemistry is there I’d DEFINITELY want to move forward to getting to know you better and seeing where things go.

Meet someone special from California, United States. So... to describe myself. Well, honesty is important enough to me that I'll be honest about myself.
I know that I'm considered a nice guy by my friends. I am definitely cut from a different mold... and am very happy to be. Beyond weird in sense of humor sometimes. Very rarely order fast food in my own voice. Have a tendency to ramble on until I've forgotten what I was talking about. What did you say your name was again?
Gave up trying to change others years ago. Tough enough to change myself.
Hate porr spelling.
Positive to a fault. May be made mostly of protons.
Proud to be made of star stuff.
You are: happy in your skin, ready for fun, not too serious about yourself, inclined to laugh for no reason.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm fun-loving, artistic, down-to-earth and spontaneous, serious and wild, silly and challengingly deep. I love adventure travel, rock hounding, motorcycles, scuba, skiing, tennis, and walking my dogs. Besides my work, I have a passion for animals, archaeology, writing poems, backpacking and beautiful landscapes. I have a great job, own my home and have my act together. I require someone to challenge me intellectually.
I do not think of myself as an over-achiever, but in comparison to the average man or woman, I am much more involved in life on a deeper level and always stretching my possibilities and challenging my fears. For me that makes my life interesting and exciting. I have not counted the countries I've visited and many times have gone alone. I have just finished writing a movie script and I write poetry. I look deeply into people's eyes to understand them and I am compassionate.
I'm looking for a man who sees life as an adventure, finds happiness in simple things, feels revived by nature, can be silly and serious, can articulate with depth, enjoys critical thinking, loves animals, and sees the bigger picture that life is not about what you have, it's about how you live it. The right man for me is intelligent, successful and optimistic, has an open mind and travels with carry-on. He's an achiever but not a show-off.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I am an honest, fun loving person. I enjoy socializing with family and friends. I usually keep myself pretty busy. I do though, enjoy being at home working on projects, making jewelry, or relaxing with a good movie.
Everyone says how they love to cook on these sites. Well I don't always love to cook. I have had to come up with the meal nightly for 22 years and now, it is the cooks night off at least every other week. Sorry boys, it is time for a real man to cook for me instead. I don't mind doing it together, or better yet, I will be happy to do the dishes.
I have a very positive outlook on life. Put a smile on your face and all will smile with you.
I will say that I am very sensual, warm and cozy type person. I really miss the closeness that a relationship brings. The human touch is calming to the soul.
I like a range of music, Rock n Roll, Jazz, Country, Punk, Golden Oldies, the Rat Pack, etc. It just depends on the mood. The same goes with colors and foods. I do not have favorites.
I have two wonderful children. One grown and out of the house, and one in high school and lives with me part time. I am good mom, who loves her kids. I will say that I did a good job, they are really special people, who will do good things in their lives.
With that said, it is time for me to get out there and start enjoying life for me. I am an independent woman. I do not need someone to take care of me. I need someone to enjoy life with me. Someone who lets me be all that I can and more. I am not one to want to control a man, nor do I want to be controlled. I believe a man needs to have his man time with his guy friends and I need my girl time.
My goal in life is to keep busy, enjoy life and never grow old. Or at least do it gracefully. Also I would like to have someone to enjoy it with. I want to be that happy couple holding hands walking down the street.
Thanks for reading. I hope to hear from you.

Date a woman from California, United States. I'm looking for someone who likes to keep up to date, feels young, is active, social and fun to be with. A sense of humor is essential. I'm not a high maintenance girl, I can cook and love Cabernet Sauvignon. I like to get out to see live music, attend winery events and charity events and any fun festival that might be going on. Send me some questions if you like.

Meet men and women from Napa, United States. First and foremost, I am always smiling and I love to laugh. Now I know every woman says that, but I really mean it!! It shows in my personality as well. Laughter is the best medicine of all, and it really is an ice breaker in a conversation when you are shaking in your shoes and you have sweaty palms...
I am the one riding the grocery cart at the store. Yep, that's me........
I am a fit, warm, romantic, playful, mature, intelligent, fun sized, outgoing lady that you will be drawn to with my smile and sparkling deep dark brown eyes. I am very active outside here on my small ranch. I live with my almost 18 year old daughter.

I love to shower my man with praise. I can confidently say that I am a giver and I want to make people happy, especially the man in my life. I feel that I am a low maintenance female.
I am from the "old school". I don't have any tattoos, I have all of my teeth and the only body piercing I have is my ears and I only have one hole in each ear !! Having been in only one relationship since high school, my baggage is minimal (fits under the seat in front of me), and I am very easy to get along with. I am not a nagger or a fighter. Life is way too short for that.
I enjoy going to live sporting events and horse racing is my favorite, thanks to my father. I bass fish better then most men, and I've even done well in some bass tournaments. I am as honest as an Alaska summer day is long, and am a one man woman. Fidelity in a relationship is a must.
If you like to come home to a home cooked meal, a huge smile, hug and kiss, then you have found the right girl. I am a straight shooter. I am a confident lady, am emotionally and financially stable and i am happy with my life. The only thing missing is a man to settle town and grow old with. I am here to find my soulmate, partner in crime, best friend and the one man that I want to spoil for the rest of our lives.
So, take my hand and I will show you how fun a first date can be. Those sweaty palms and that knot in your stomach will be gone in no time !! I don't want you to try to be someone you are not. I want you to relax and be yourself, okay?? I am a fairly simple lady, and I don't take a long time in the bathroom for hair or make up. I don't go to the hairdresser to get my hair colored or get my nails done. What a waste of money for a rancher girl. I am lucky enough to have naturally curly hair, so I don't need to spend tons of money on these God given curls..lol
I like spontaneity in my life, so it is not a problem to get up, throw some clothes on, brush my teeth and put on a baseball cap over my hair and let's go !! I am a tomboy and a girly girl all wrapped up in one small package.
Don't get me wrong, though, I am quite sophisticated. Heck, I am a Napa Valley girl..lol I do have a pretty wild side, and I am certainly not a dead head.
I have a great palate for a good cab or merlot and I have had a great childhood while growing up in the Napa Valley. I had an awesome childhood and the best parents ever.
I live in the mountains north of Napa, where the air is clean, and the sky is blue and at night you can almost reach the stars while you are outside at my ranch. I have a well with the best water you have ever tasted, and I try my best to live a healthy lifestyle.

I love tea and cookies or red wine and chocolate! I communicate through email. MCLAUGHLIN ROSALIE and the site is what a cowboy would yodle.

Meet a soulmate from Napa, United States. I am an active, energetic, independent and affectionate woman seeking a confident, kind, intelligent, and passionate man.
My belief is that a true connection requires not only physical chemistry, but also a mutual understanding of what makes the other person "tick" - so - a little about myself, and I look forward to learning more about you ; ) Here goes...
'I've been described as endearing, intelligent, compassionate, and sexy. I value the people and relationships in my life, and see them as key in everything I do, whether it's a business relationship, family, friends, or a lover. The quality of relationships in life, for me, have a direct correlation to my quality of life.
I enjoy exercise and also simply being outdoors. I especially enjoy the Northern California coast for a weekend getaway -it is close and so beautiful. I love a tropical get away as well, white sands and clear, blue, warm water... My own backyard - wine country - offers great ways to spend an afternoon.
I recently returned from a 3 week adventure in France. What an experience! The history, art, culture - I loved every minute and look forward to future travel.
By day I wear a skirt, jacket, and heels, and on the weekends its my favorite pair of jeans. I'm comfortable at a black tie event, having dinner with a small group of friends, or simply curling up on the sofa for a good movie and some popcorn with a special someone.
I have 2 wonderful sons, one 12 and one 19, and love them dearly. They share time at both households. One's a drummer and other plays baseball. I love helping them grow, learn and make their path in this world.
I also give back to my community. In addition to my work, I serve on the board of directors for 3 different nonprofit organizations. Yes, I am busy - and I'm ready and excited to rebalance my life a bit. Match has been a fun vehicle to gain this balance, and I've enjoyed meeting some fun and amazing individuals.
What am I looking for? Well, I'm not needy and I'm not looking to be rescued. I am looking for is that spark, that connection with someone that leads to a desire to share time and have fun, no matter what we are doing. Do you fit into this equation anywhere? Perhaps, but we will never know until we connect - so wink or email if you're curious...

Date someone special from Napa, United States. Hello out there! Looking for one good man (to use a line from an Etta James song) to enjoy life with and keep me smiling. Someone who will laugh at my jokes and tell a few good ones too. What I really would like to find is a man who will be my friend as well as my sexual counterpart. A man who understands that to get to my soul or my bed requires some conversation to peak my interest and then some romantic flirting and seductive teasing to get me excited. I am a wine geek so I want my man to be interested in that hobby as much if not more so than me. Hopefully he knows how to make an omelet at the very least to surprise me with breakfast in bed or tells me to pack my bag for an impromtu weekend get away and some pampering. It would be great to find a man with intelligence who appreciates mine and who is supportive and encouraging of my business ideas yet can be direct enough to say I'm too far out in left field when needed. I have a graduate degree so I would want my man to have the same or better in the academic department. I tend to see the world through optimistic eyes so I would want a positive person to go along for the ride. In the world of Myer-Briggs personality testing I am a ENTP which is an entreprenurial, intuitive, thinking, perceiver which makes for a good sales manager, publicist, entrepreneur and the like. Friends in the past have said I should be the mayor but politics is not my scene. Certainly I can be quiet and shy or reserved at first when I meet someone but I was in the wine business too long to be a shrinking violet. Basically I am a gregarious person with a positive outlook most of the time who enjoys living life but is in need of sharing the journey with someone equally desirous of fun!
