Date women from United States / California / Novato, 51 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm friendly, prefer to be active, creative, enjoy laughter and conversation, can laugh at myself, faithful, affectionate, sensual, considerate, helpful, witty, but also have a serious side. I like to be healthy, exercise, and want to be with someone who is adaptable to life's changes.
I'm an all around type of woman - sporty to classy....easy going to passionate. Traveled in Europe a lot and other countries; lived in 5 states. Participated in many sports in life and hopefully new ones to begin. Currently, I like to ride horses, hike/walk, and to swim. Like boating; done fishing. Photos are current unless noted.
The male that I admire will have more than average intelligence, eats healthy and stays fit, stable, has the ability to handle social situations and family, affectionate, gentle, and proud of who he is in life. Sounds like a tall order/an alpha male...keep in mind that kindness, integrity, and strength in conviction in a man goes a long way....arrogance does not.
First half of my life I devoted to working, traveling, and raising a family. I'm a conscientious parent even as my kids get older or out the door. This middle part has been raising my family, working, contemplation, and starting over in new direction. The final chapter of my life will include my family, friends, work, hobbies, and very importantly...the love of my life.
As far as sports....I would see a hockey game or even something more personal like either mine or your son or daughter's sport, but I'm not into watching baseball, basketball, football (Montana/Rice team were only interesting to me), and I've seen enough soccer to last awhile. Honestly, I wouldn't be compatible with someone watching a lot of sports on TV or going often to sporting events. I prefer to be in nature hands-down. Love to be near or in water. I find ice skating easier than skiing but can do both.
Like to dance with an intimate partner. Play piano (like to play when I'm alone without distractions) and starting to paint again for pleasure. Have done ceramics, painting, and taught art on a volunteer basis in schools. I'm a very visual and tactile individual.
It would be nice to meet 'a good man with a good heart' in my life who would be handsome in my eyes. If the intent is honest and attraction mutual, then there's only more good things to come.
Please have a picture - fair is fair. I'd like to see people's eyes in photos, too.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Hi,
Giving you an impression of who I am is largely influenced by how well I write and the words I choose to weave you a verbal picture. These self descriptions are tough (as I read in so many profiles) and it only presents a snippet of the person I believe I am. So if my writing style appeals to you then maybe youРІР‚в„ўll be momentarily intrigued enough to read further and (wouldnРІР‚в„ўt it be nice) send a hello in my direction.
Would you like to know that I’m left-handed and that I wear only one contact? That purple is my favorite color and I drink chai latte? That the first clutch I learned to operate drove me into a ditch? That I’m warm, sincere and soft-hearted? I have been touched by immense joy and tragedy and absorbed those experiences to become a woman wise and compassionate, fun loving and spirited. I know how to listen and like being listened to. I can be profound and silly, graceful and klutzy. I keep myself trim fit (but not obsessive about it) and would hope you do the same for yourself. I like being active and eating well (but there is always room for ice cream). If I told you my interests… and there are many… maybe I’d bore you with the long list, please know I’m open to learning and sharing yours too if you’d like (as long as you don’t ask me to bungee jump).
So what am I looking for? More than merely dating. I’d really like to find someone to spend the rest of my life with in a relationship that brings out the best in us both. My wish is that our days (and nights) together would be some of the best of our lives. We roll with the ebbs and tides of loving and resolve the occasional discord because we know it makes us stronger and happier in the long run. We’ll blend our families and work at creating a healthy home life where all members feel comfortable and welcome. Open communication is important to us – from the head and the heart; and we realize that the success of a lasting relationship is based on honest communication, empathy being able to bend a bit. We’re not perfect; our imperfections don’t cause the kettle to boil over at least. Wouldn’t it be great to discover we’ve become best friends too? The chemistry between us stokes the fires. We’re playful at heart, tender, compassionate and passionate. We complement each other without overpowering one another....

Meet a soulmate from Novato, United States. ABOUT ME ~
I was raised in midwest (Minnesota) and have lived in the Bay Area for 17 years (7 in Sausalito and 10 in Novato). My foundation is pretty down to earth but I also enjoy the finer things in life. I enjoy cuisine of all ethnicities both dining and cooking at home. My current work out routine is primarily Zumba which I truly love. Not only is it a great workout but it's really fun with high energy music.
Some recent travel (NYC and Puerto Vallarta) sparked an interest to begin looking for a special man to share some life experiences together. I am completely happy spending time by myself and have a strong sense of self but it's time to reach out for love potential. I'm more in search for a fulfilling journey rather than a goal of marriage. What is vitally important to me is that the relationship is respectful and "real". Love is a choice and so is how you choose to treat another person . . . . I only want the BEST and I will reciprocate.
My faith is very important to me and I do not preach to others. I believe that if you're faith is real, others should be able to see and feel the difference in your life. Lead by example, it's true leadership.
WHO I'M LOOKING FOR ~
I want a man who knows how and is willing to be a man. Today the roles have become so blurred and while I'm a completely independent, self sufficient woman, I really want a man who can treat me like a woman both with actions and words. I want to laugh with you, try new adventures (even if it's scarey), travel, cook, ski, play tennis . . . . anything. When friendship and/or love is right, it's all easy. You can have fun doing anything.
You need to have a strong work ethic and strive for the best in whatever you're doing. This is how I conduct my life, I will expect the same from you. If this sounds like a MATCH . . . please send me an email.
