I am an Iranian-American. I have lived in USA most of my life. I am looking for a good friend and a companion. I like to have a companion with whom I can have a long-term relationship. I don't like to play games and donРІР‚в„ўt care for dishonesty.
I am very kind and caring. I would like to make a difference in this world. I do volunteer work at an elementary school where I teach math and help at my church.
I think of myself as emotionally intelligent and able to bring a great deal to the right relationship. I am creative and good natured, and can bring a fresh perspective to almost any situation.
I like to listen to music, dance, read, travel, go to my gym, movies, dinner, go to the beach or just do nothing. I have been to Europe, Middle East and Asia. Hope to travel to Africa someday. I am honest, compassionate, understanding, positive, caring, loyal and a great friend.

I'm looking for someone with a good heart and.a positive attitude on life. I like to find Someone who appreciates both silence and the music of conversation.

Date a woman from California, United States. I've been single for a long time by choice and because I believed I was too introverted and quirky to meet the love of my life online. But lately I've felt lonely and realized I've probably become too independent and cynical about something really simple. I think I have a lot to offer; I'm kind, funny, have a lively mind, and love many people and find joy in simple everyday activities and moments.
Humility is a trait I cherish, but given this is my attempt to describe myself, I'll state that I am fairly attractive, love to be outdoors and hike and walk several days a week, am excited by great literature, films, and television, enjoy all kinds of art and am a history nut, closely follow politics and world events, am excited by powerful ideas and true insight, and cherish all efforts to make the world a better place for all people.
After wondering for a few weeks how I can best describe what I'm looking for in a man, I know now what it is but don't yet know how to fully articulate it. I realize this may not mean much to some, but it's this: I am always wildly attracted to what my friends and I describe as a good man. "A good man" may sound banal and trite, but good men are neither; they're the best men around, always. A good man cares more about how he conducts himself and how well he treats others than he cares about what people think about him. I would love to meet a compatible, intelligent, mature, warm man with a good sense of humor who is as delightful and wise as my basically darling family and friends. Romance per se doesn't have a lot of appeal for me but the ineffable mystery of true companionship and sharing my life with a good man with great character really does.

Meet a soulmate from Novato, United States. I'm a fan of irreverent humor and deep conversations. I'm compassionate, smart, energetic, quick-witted, I approach ilfe with honesty, humor and a sense of adventure. Flexible, fun-loving and comfortable in my own skin, I have a passion for physical and mental activity. I'm looking for a long term relationship that's warm, authentic and romantic....seeking a grown-up guy with brains, intellectual curiosity, a kindred sense of humor. Your work is important but knows its place. Dogs love you and you love them. You like to be active but will happily succumb to the lure of a lazy weekend, especially when you've found the right person to laze around with. It's OK by me if you see the glass as half full or half empty ....it's even better if you put it in the dishwasher when you're done philosophizing.
I'm a down to earth woman who enjoys life. I am adventurous, would love to explore the world with you. I'm happiest when I'm affecting those around me in a positive way be it at work, family or the man in my life. I believe in treating people the way you want to be treated. I am attracted to creative, open-minded people, perhaps a man who can give me that little tension when he's near me or just hearing his voice makes my heart skip a beat. My match would be a man younger than 60, around my age. I have a condo oceanfront in Florida, hopefully you also enjoy warm tropical weather and the warm ocean. Some of the photos posted are from my balcony at condo. I travel to Florida as often as I am able. Let's get a measure of our generosity of spirit, spend our time enjoying the views while we do interesting things, get comfortable with each other, have some laughs. Life is too short, :) !!

I have a wonderful family and friends who I treasure. I spend much of my free time hiking on Mt. Tam, exploring the backroads, volunteering in my community, tending to my deck garden filled w/ flowers and plants, or just doing whatever the season may bring. I bought my first road bike two years ago and am loving exploring the back roads of Marin and Sonoma. I also love live theater, the symphony, cooking, Tahoe, the mountains, the ocean.....and you will just have to write me to find out more. As you can see, I donРІР‚в„ўt like to sit still on the weekends.
But just being with someone special no matter what we are doing is the best. I believe real friendship is the best basis for a strong love relationship, so I am looking for that special man who will become my best friend as well as my love.

I will be warmed by your presence even when we're apart. I want to meet someone who is strong and confident, yet, gentle and sweet. Someone who understands the importance of friendship first, values honesty and communication, and is unassuming, genuine, giving, spiritual, down to earth, communicative and kind-hearted.

Meet a woman from Novato, United States. I can be fun and gregarious or quiet and reflective. I prefer to read books rather than watch a lot of TV....but I will drop everything for a good foreign film. I think the Christopher Smith theater in San Rafael is the best.
I lived abroad for more than a decade in Italy and in Hong Kong. I learned to be open minded and appreciative of what we have here in the states. I am a non-judgemental person, positive and creative.
I love to explore our world. It doesn't matter to me whether that means a hole in the wall restarant in SF or cenotes in the Yucatan, the Science Museum in San Jose or caves in Slovenia. I am just naturally curious about life and I'd love to find someone else with whom I can share this attitude.
I am easy to be with, positive, sturdy, yet lots of fun. I have no patience for complainers, boozers or mean spirited people.
I love a good camping trip in Death Valley or a trek thru Nepal or an RV trip to Bryce/Zion or Canyon de Chelly.

I love color and good food and good times and a good, fluffy comfortable bed. Please don't snore!
I want to trust my man as I am trustable.
I love to dance all night if the band is good...would love to learn partner dancing and make everyone envious of our look (and love).
I am not looking for a fling. I want a life long partner.
I can dress up to kill or kick back with jeans. I love lace and pearls and high heels. I love big hair and lipstick and push up bras. But, I don't mind getting dirty if it means catching a fish or exploring a cave.
My partner will be an independent sort of guy, with his own interests and passions. I will rock his world but not BE his world. We will share the good and the bad and figure it out as we go along.
