Meet men and women from Palo Alto, United States. Scientist, engineer, musician, amateur buddhist, professional father (she is now 22 and almost on her own, sortof), amateur horticulturalist and cook. I'm joyful, energetic, curious, passionate. I hope to find mutual laughter, mutual attraction, shared purpose, and kindred spirit.
Satisfaction is elusive without music, sunshine, dark chocolate and laughter. The Buddha says that desire is the causation of (emotional) suffering... although that's not all that is involved (fear, anger, etc all are related)... and that suffering ceases when desire ceases. He says much more than that, of course. But one can purchase chocolate (I make a decent amateur truffle), sunshine is free, and I can make music; but laughter.... the best laughter is shared. Although I have occasionally awakened in the middle of the night because a dream was too funny, I wander through this DreamTime (Australian primitive myth) hoping to wake up again with laughter that is shared.
The cat thinks I'm funny. My house is blue. Roses are Red, here's looking at You!
Date a soulmate from Palo Alto, United States. Who am I? Well, I'm always funny; sometimes shy/sometimes gregarious, always curious and very energetic native San Franciscan. (Yes, I know I'm not smiling broadly or laughing in the photos-- that's just the shyness comng out :)) I'm down-to-earth; though talkative , a good listener, too; great sense of humor; creative; and someone with eclectic taste in friends and in the arts. I'm an adventurer; risk-taker; and have traveled extensively; I'm fit--swim and lift weights regularly, and love to dance-- in fact would like to become a better salsa dancer. As to work-- I'm television/radio writer/director, have also been a columnist and magazine writer; and concert producer. Love pets-- have had two husky/shepherd mixes and almost ready to get another dog. I'm a terrific cook who enjoys a quiet meal and conversation whether at home or dining at an intimate, non-trendy restaurant. And, like virtually all of us, I enjoy movies, music, and quiet time to nurture and be supportive. I'm looking for that delicate balance between being myself (retaining my identity) while savoring and thoroughly enjoying being a couple. Though I don't have kids of my own, I have taught both high school and elementary grades. Because I miss not having a family or teaching, I would especially like to meet someone who has and enjoys spending time with their children or grand kids; someone who's ready for a relationship and is not afraid to be vulnerable; someone who enjoys surprises and is nurturing (and of course wants me to reciprocate.Most importantly, I'm looking for someone to grow with, to learn from, and as corny as this is, a woman who wants a best friend and lover. A great sense of humor and a good story teller would be a key ingredient; a reader and lover of the arts, especially music and movies, and someone who likes discovering unique ethnic cuisine. I'm looking for an independent woman who knows who she is and stands up for it; someone who enjoys traveling and eating (especially Italian); enjoys music-- concerts, clubs, and dancing; enjoys kids and pets. Someone who's sensual, passionate and enjoys public displays of affection; does lots of little things to surprise the people she cares about; someone who is as comfortable staying at home as spending time with friends. A woman who looks forward to taking day/weekend trips to continue to nurture intimacy, by talking as well as by being physical.
Meet someone special from Palo Alto, United States. I'm a terrific listener. I find that everyone has a story to tell and I enjoy hearing their stories. IРІР‚в„ўve traveled a bit, have been to Asia, Central America, Mexico, Australia, Europe, the middle East, Hawaii. Architecture and unusual landscapes are particularly interesting to me. I hope my friends look forward to my photos because I make sure they see them! I've had many different careers but enjoy my present career the most and have been doing the work I do for the last 18 years. I think it's important to feel my life has made a difference, that I impact others in a positive way. I have two grown sons I am very proud of, one lives out of the country, the other lives in San Francisco, they are both successful and fun to be with.
My musical taste is eclectic, anything from classical to blues, jazz, country, opera. A sample of what I like to listen to - Nana Mouskouri, Alan Pasqua, Andrea Bocelli, Bob Seger, Carole King, Chieli Minucci, The Clancy Brothers, Eric Clapton, Harry Chapin, Judy Collins, Miles Davis.
I admire the work of Edward Weston, Imogene Cunningham, Annie Leibovitz, Diane Arbus, Galen Rowell, Berenice Abbott, Margaret Bourke-White.
My favorite t.v. series is Breaking Bad, on the softer side, I also liked Downton Abbey. I read anything, fiction, non-fiction, some authors I enjoy are Anne Tyler, Anne Lamott, Chris Cleave, Richard Russo.
I would like to have a relationship with a man who is able to see the humor in life and is also able to have a serious conversation. I'm interested in someone who is flexible and doesn't get thrown when life changes his plans. I think it's important to feel you "click" with someone's sense of humor. When people say, "that person has a really good sense of humor," I think what they mean is, "their sense of humor is similar to mine, I get why it's funny." I want to meet someone I click with. It's fun to go to museums, discover new places and more fun when doing it with someone who also shares in the experience.

Meet a woman from California, United States. I have recently lost my husband because of cancer. I am looking for a special friend who will be willing to share similar interests as mine. I would like to find a compatible male friend who is supportive, someone who will appreciate the things I do. In return, I hope to offer that person what he is looking for. Although a perfect match is never possible, compatibility can be found. I met Carl almost 40 years ago through a less sophisticated computer dating match. We shared almost 37 years of great companionship and love.
All in all, I hope to find a person who is compatible. I like people and I like humor and try to be as cheerful and optimistic as I can.
Date people from California, United States. I am looking for a male friend to share similar interests and enjoy the beauty of life as well as have interesting discussions about various topics.
I have worked very hard and have loved my job as well as learned a lot from raising my daughter. My great relationship with my husband taught me a lot about myself and life. I like people, and have several good friends. I am funny although I can be serious at times. I realize I need to pursue other things I like given that I am no longer that young.
