Date people from United States. Ultimately, I want to be with someone who longs for the "intimate journey", who both desires and is adept at intellectual, emotional, and physical intimacy . While sharing interests is important, I enjoy most activities when they are shared with a kindred spirit.
I am looking for a person who has certain personal qualities versus interests, qualities that I am able to bring to the relationship also. Some of these qualities are a truly kind and loving heart, intelligence, honesty, openness, a generous spirit, character, a sense of humor, an ability and a joy in having conversations about anything and everything, a quiet inner joy, an appreciation for life, a desire to grow and to be an instrument in the other's growth, love for one's work , a joy in play, an abiding passion for life, and more.
Since I was very young, I have treated my body as though it were the only one I would ever have. Consequently, I participate in all kinds of athletic activities particularly aerobic and strengthening exercise, golf, hiking, walking, running, biking and yoga to mention a few. As a reward for this respect for and appreciation of the human body, I have more energy and physical capacity than many people much younger.
Certainly, youthfulness is partly a gift of genetics. However, an appreciation and respect for my body, a pervading spirituality, a deep joy in my work, and having a purpose to my life beyond "having fun" gives life passion, energy, and purpose greater than my personal interests. I think all of this combines to keep one young, alive and involved in the complete spectrum of life.
I am drawn to women who are strong yet able to combine a fierce independence with a desire for intimacy or the 'shared life'. Having an 'edge' not in random rebelliousness but more in line with Thoreau's concept of 'question authority' is deeply appealing.
If you share much of what I have described, then the elusive and enigmatic thing we call chemistry has a chance to grow. Of course, this can only be known though direct experience of the other person and if you and I are both curious, I would welcome the opportunity to know.
Meet someone special from United States. I like to travel, arts, cooking, reading, intellectual discussion, nature, bicycling. I consider true, honest, intimate friendship the main ingredient in a relationship. I would like to meet a kind, smart, good looking woman to enjoy life together.
Date men and women from United States. I am a young, active 67 year old woman who works full time and loves it. I care deeply about my children and animals but, luckily, my children are grown and independent and my dog loves anyone with food. I love to ski and walk and watch college football and travel and hang out with friends and family. I am willing to try most anything that looks like fun and engage in interesting discussions with interesting people. Independence and time alone is important to me but I would like to be close. I am a little shy although my friends would laugh about that one! Laughing is really, really essential to life, as is an occasional cry. Gentleness, kindness and caring are non-negotiable.
Meet a soulmate from United States. I have reached the time in my life to smell the flowers and enjoy some peace and harmony. (maybe throw in some exciting, things too), with a partnership in which we will cherish and nurture each other through the remaining hills and valleys that each day brings. A support system for each other; while at the same time having a lot of fun and laughs together!
I am a very loving, fun, kind, nurturing and peace loving person. I was a tomboy as a child and I enjoy browsing hardware stores and auto supply stores. I know there is someone out there who will appreciate these qualities that I possess. I have a great sense of humor. It would be great if my mate not only appreciated that facet of my personality; but also had the same quality.
It's important that my mate is a family man. Personal grooming and cleanliness is at the top of my list. I prefer a flexible man, open to new life experiences, easy going and patient.
Another added bonus for me, would be if he enjoyed dancing with me.

I'm excited to meet you, and waiting! God has blessed me with many things during my life. He always answers my prayers. I know he will find me my perfect match. One who strives to follow God in everything he does.
Date people from United States. I would love to meet someone who complimented my personally. I am shy at first but when I get to know someone I feel very comfortable. I want to plan for the future and slowly put the emphasis on working less and enjoying life more. I love to garden and grow vegetables and I keep in contact with my family in England and Sweden and here in California. Photography is one of my hobbies. The person I will meet should have several interests and be very involved in life.
