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

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I grew up in the Chicago area in what was a large, predominantly Italian, family. They're an amazingly loud group of loving people but I'm one of the quieter ones. I live a simple life that brings me much pleasure. I love that I can head out the door almost everyday and hike with a neighborhood friend or two, and that I work locally, so there is no commute. I hang my laundry outdoors when it's nice, and I actually like to wash my dishes by hand. I like the winter days so I can be inside and take a break from gardening and working in the yard. I'm actually beginning to think I may be too old for all of that work! Luckily we live in the midst of a place where we can have a never ending list of things to do and places to go and I love that part of the Bay Area. You can't tell from this extremely dull paragraph, but I actually have a sense of humor, too... really.
So here's the thing that's missing in my oh, so, glorious life, that I briefly described... and that would be someone special. Bottom line? I want someone with integrity. And being that integrity seems like a huge umbrella of goodness, I think I'll just stick with that. I do have to tell you that kindness and laughter go a long way with me. Yep. I've realized over the years that if people can be just plain old good to one another, that wonderful things can happen.
I'm just finishing up my first experience with Match and I'll be leaving the site at the end July. No match, yet, but I think I'll give it another try, another time.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I am easily inspired. By nature, by people, by music, by art. I live in gratitude of all that surrounds me. Some may describe me as being 'over the top'. I have a child's fascination that comes out dancing, laughing, loving, walking, cleaning, cooking, eating, gardening, creating. There is caution, however, and when there are tasks to be accomplished, I can be quite serious and driven. This year is about building my graphic design business, and hopefully gaining clients in the San Francisco area.
My match is also playful and full of energetic life. He is easy to laugh, and not quick to judge. He knows himself well, is confident and whole. He is interested in self reflection and growth.
I live in Oregon and I wonder, would it be possible to find my partner San Francisco? I would love to come and go from there. Get my city fix, and explore someplace new. Would you like to come and go from here?
I'm here this week... June 21 - 27... 3rd time this year. Hmmmm... is there a date in our future?
We shall see!

Date a woman from California, United States. All of those activities each of us puts in our profiles are really great, but are often more fun when shared. IРІР‚в„ўm much more interested in meeting a man who I love to be with and then figuring out together, which activities fit our relationship the best. Who knows, maybe weРІР‚в„ўll discover a new activity together! Not every activity has to be shared, either. If you enjoy kiteboarding or motorcycles, great! IРІР‚в„ўll have a nice dinner waiting for you when you get back.
There always seems to be some event, fair, festival, show, concert, or play on my calendar each month. I just like having fun things to look forward to. Hopefully, youРІР‚в„ўll often want to join me. I like a nice balance of going out to do things and hanging out around the house.
I want to be with someone who enjoys it when I do special little things for them. Thoughtfulness is such a simple gift to extend to each other that can add a little warmth to our lives. If you're able to be affectionate and show appreciation for a woman, I'm enthusiastically looking forward to hearing from you.
Who am I looking for? Someone who enjoys being social is important to me. Being able to live and converse with humor and intelligence seasons all of the things I like to do best. I'm an athletic person and want to spend time with someone who enjoys sports as well, especially participating. I believe that my best years are yet to come. Are you available to share in fun times and make new memories? I would like to hear from you!
