Date men and women from United States / California / Orinda - page 5
Date people from Orinda, United States. Like all women I'm looking for a kind man, with a good sense of humor, smart, and well educated - things I think are part of being Mr. Normal. If you enjoy conversation, keeping fit, travel, movies - that's even better!
My friends say that I'm easy going and funny but I work too much; thatРІР‚в„ўs because I enjoy my work. I donРІР‚в„ўt consider myself a workaholic because I have no problem turning off the Blackberry and cell phone. I'm not into shopping (except for fabric) and prefer to spend money on travel and new experiences. I'm honest and loyal and looking for the same in a man. I'm not political or religious but am interested in politics and current events and tend to be a news junkie. I'm an outgoing, friendly person and can hold my own in a conversation so if you are the somber, reserved, silent type you may find me annoying.
Being outdoors and walking my crazy dogs is a daily pleasure. I was on a swim team and still enjoy swimming laps and anything to do with water: white-water rafting, fishing, boating etc. I've been playing “conversational tennis” with my girlfriends 1-2 times a week for the past 5 years. We call it conversational because the tennis pro gave up on us (we didn’t take it seriously enough for him) and we talk so much that we often forget the score. I own golf clubs and enjoy walking on golf courses (they are beautiful) but I’m a terrible golfer. If you need a golf cart driver, or even better, someone to walk along and be an admiring audience I can manage that. I don't really consider myself an athlete but I have done a couple sprint triathlons and Mile swims for fundraisers and plan to do more so I try to stay fit and eat healthy. Basically, I am more of a tomboy than a girly, girl but I do enjoy wearing makeup and putting on a glamorous dress occasionally.
I have two very independent sons and I'm not a clingy mom so I don't see them very much (they do text me occasionally). One is at the University of Oregon and the other is working and has his own apartment. I am currently separated which is not the ideal situation but if you are concerned about a reconciliation it is not going to happen since my husband is living with his young mistress (classic male mid-life crisis scenario). I am an independent woman and not afraid of doing things by myself but I admit that I enjoy male companionship. What is it about you guys?!? Hint: smart men that write well are incredibly sexy to me so I am a sucker for a well written and/or humorous profile.
Now that you know everything about me – where are you Mr. Right? I know that you must be out there! If something in my profile strikes a chord, please write, winks aren't very informative. I will always reply to emails (I believe in old-fashioned courtesy). If the chemistry isn't there, nothing is lost and there is everything to gain because we've both had an opportunity to meet someone new.
P.S. Most pics were taken Memorial Day weekend 2012 so what you see is what you get :-p
Meet people from United States. I am a dynamic woman with many gifts to give. I know that there is a high quality man out there- is it you? Who will feel grateful and excited to share my gifts as I will generously share and celebrate yours.
I will cherish what you bring to our interactions – your interests, your hobbies and sports, your passions in life even if they are different than mine. I am open to new experiences. Adventuresome and spontaneous, I want to enjoy the world, new places, new people. I am looking for the best partner to share this journey, explore new exciting destinations, new avenues and grow together; through those experiences.
I’m a giver not a taker. I’m a conversationalist who loves to listen. I enjoy laughter but understand silences. I like to curl up on the sofa and snuggle, but my suitcase is always handy ready to go on the next exciting venture. I’m a California native who returned after a busy career in high end retail that took me all over the world. I’d love to travel but would especially love to share “our” new travel stories with all our family & friends, and yes, they all will envious.
Maybe we’re entertaining in the kitchen – the heart of my home. Or we’re packing up a savory picnic complete with chilled champagne flutes to take to Napa Valley. We’ll pack dinner, chairs, blanket, and listen to jazz out in the cool of a vineyard evening with the notes of a sax seeming to float in mid-air as the moon comes up over the hills. Life doesn’t get much better, but most importantly; you will be in heaven because it’s sharing these precious moments with you that really puts a smile on my face.
IРІР‚в„ўm equally comfortable in high heels and a sparkling dress or jeans and cowboy boots. I love live theater as well as small intimate jazz clubs; Boy do I love to dance!! I relish discovering a tree-lined back road in the country or a cutting edge museum exhibit in the city.
What I do admire most, is a man who makes honesty and authenticity a cornerstone of their life, in businesses, among family and friends. You are the one they trust the most. This is the kind of man I can make feel like a king, every morning and night!
Laughter, wine, flowers and food – that’s me. I lead a full happy life, but sharing this all with you will open a new chapter in your life, and hopefully ours, together
Date people from Orinda, United States. I love to laugh and my friends think I should write a book. I am grateful for my family and moved to California from Philadelphia four years ago to be closer to them.
I keep busy, go places, see things and enjoy the outdoors. I've truly become a Californian. I like dancing (Salsa) and exploring new restaurants. One of my passions is food and wine. Since I've moved out here, I love heading to Yountville, Healdsburg, and Napa for good food and wine.
I am looking to meet a physically fit, smart, gentleman who is sophisticated, has a sense of humor, sociable, confident, honest, giving, proud of his career accomplishments and definitely wants to travel ASAP.
I will not respond to winks, picture likes or profiles with no pictures.
Meet a soulmate from Orinda, United States. I grew up in the Bay Area and have lived and traveled in lots of other places but I still love all that the Bay Area has to offer. Being a Leo, I'm a natural born sun lover and enjoy almost anything outdoors. I particularly love the water, the ocean and the beach. I live in the country and work in the city so I have the best of both worlds -- a home surrounded by trees, where I can relax by cooking and creating a cozy retreat and the city where I love to try the newest, little out of the way restaurant, go to the symphony or the ballet or spend Sat morning at the Ferry Bldg farmers market.
I am enthusiastic, independent and passionate about most things that I do. I'm loyal, honest and trusting. I'm fit, health conscious and energetic; outgoing, friendly and youthful (all my photos are recent, except spring baseball in phoenix with my kids, 2008.) I'm financially and emotionally secure. I love all kinds of music from country to opera, love jeans to that little black dress. I really enjoy the whole ambiance of baseball and was excited to receive my basic keelboat, sailing certification a couple summers ago.
I love to travel..... almost anywhere. I've lived in Toulouse, Cannes, Cambridge and Freiburg and have best friends each place.
I'm generous and affectionate, romantic and adventuresome, and believe that most things are more fun with someone special.
I'd love to meet a charming gentleman who's bright, articulate, accomplished, witty, warm and caring. Loyal, honest and full of integrity. Ideally, he will be well adjusted, fit, affectionate and communicative. Someone who's self assured but not arrogant, careful but not compulsive, in control but not controlling. Someone who's seeking a best friend, a confidante, a soul mate and a lover.

Meet a woman from United States. Currently I am going to the Olympics, so I will not be answering anybody. I will be home later and then chit chat with you then. Be good and Be happy, life is short. M
I am super active and love life. I am comfortable with the city and the country. I have a great life and would love to share activities with a great guy. I work a little and like to travel a lot. I am well educated, and financially stable. I am looking for someone with the same qualifications since this has caused problems in the past. I love fascinating men, who love to learn.
I hope to meet a great guy who wants to be a friend, partner and lover. I don't want to get married or live together, I want a special guy to call my "special friend" and who wants to enjoy time with me. I don't want to spend 24 hours a day, seven days out of a week with anyone, not even my adult children. I would like to be with someone who knows that we have each other and can talk about anything and everything. I want a man who is learning about himself and open to new ideas.
A good man who loves to smile and laugh, and enjoy the outdoors is perfect. A man who loves to hike and ski is wonderful I like getting up in the morning to a cup of coffee, a workout or hike and then to plan the rest of the day to have fun. Or snuggle too. Truth, honesty, real and fun. I call this Zen dating - in the moment. Speaking of truth, I recently came to the realization that it would be best for me to date and not hope for an LTR - so at the moment, I am primarily interested in dating, developing friendships and sharing activities.
I have two buckets, one is for adventure and one for relationships. If you have the same two buckets, give me a shout, we can see if we can fill them together.

Date people from United States. I'm a quintessential baby boomer: I don't believe my age represents who I am. I still love rock n'roll, working out 6 days a week, and managing a nonprofit agency. I want to share my eclectic joys in life with a physically fit man who can laugh at himself and find joy in a world that's often times not very joyful. I'm an optimist who loves life and all that it offers, especially family, friends, food, and festivities(i.e., movies, live theater/music, dancing, sports events, comedy clubs, museums, art festivals, wine tastings, etc). I'm looking for a man who is youthful yet mature; enjoys my sense of humor and has one of his own; is capable of planning yet can be impulsive; is financially secure; can engage in intellectual dialogue; enjoys being athletic; and is an optimist with a lot of positive energy. Together, let's light up the world a little! P.S. The photos are recent and really do look like me. The gorgeous guy is my godson, not my date. Photo taken in July 2010 in The Village in NYC. I also added 2 photos from October 2010's Urban Shield, a national disaster drill exercise.
Meet a woman from California, United States. I would like to find a man who shares my interests in an active lifestyle (hopefully both tennis and hiking), loves the outdoors and has liberal political beliefs. I am looking for someone with a bright, inquisitive mind who is still interested in learning and growing by experiencing new things. And a great sense of humor and the ability to laugh at life are very important!
I'm a low-maintenance type - don't like shopping, primping, gossiping, cleaning, or cooking (unless you're cooking with me). I can't understand why people get facelifts instead of giving that money to help a kid get cleft palate surgery. I can be brought to tears by an unfolding leaf or the hoot of an owl in the darkness, I love sitting in front of a roaring fire with a glass of wine and the person I love, and I think that everyone needs to try to leave the world a little better than it was before they got there. My friends would describe me as tough, adventuresome, stubborn, funny and extremely smart. I can be hard to get to know, but there's a very soft heart hidden inside. I want to be your partner, not your housekeeper; your equal and your soulmate.
I have been married twice (once for 13 years and once for 16 years) and have a 27-year-old son who is in his first year of law school at Duke. I worked for around 35 years in the medical industry (diagnostics) and my last couple of jobs were as CEO of start-up companies which were funded by venture capital firms. Before that I was with large companies where I ran divisions. I "retired" early, around 3 1/2 years ago.
I have an MBA from Harvard and an undergraduate degree from Duke University. I started my career as a CPA for one of the big accounting firms in Boston.
Although I was born on Long Island, my family moved to North Carolina when I was 4, and I grew up there (and, yes, I do have a Southern accent). When I was around 25 I moved to Boston with my first husband, and I lived there off and on (with transfers to California for 2.5 years and Ohio for 4.5 years) until 5 years ago, when I moved out to California for a job. I love California and hope to stay here.
I am a strong, independent woman who has been living on my own for the past 11 years. But I miss having someone to care about and do things with and would love to find the right man to share life's adventures with. I love the beauty of the world, the lessons to be learned from a good novel, the warmth and joy of a dog, and I still believe in true love.
