Date women from United States / California / Palo Alto - page 12

Date someone special from Palo Alto, United States. I am not looking for someone to get me through the night. I am looking for some one who can explore what life has to offer, good times and bad times. I am looking for some one who is compatible (no necessary the same way, but chemistry has to spark); who is educated, open mind and cares what is going in the world; I like some one whom I can be inter-dependent on, and some one who respect women. I do not like men who are arrogant, incompetent, insecure, and have no respect of other people.
I am a very generous, kind, educated, and intelligent woman. I am also very active, adventurous. Challenge to me is just part of life I embrace. I believe determination will make us achieve anything we set our mind to.
I can do a marathon or a triathlon in the morning and slip into my black dress and high heel to attend a play or an event in the evening.
I love to travel. My philosophy of travel is: my bag is packed and my passport is ready. My favor cities in the world are Paris, San Francisco, Hong Kong, and Sydney. A lot more on the list and a lot more cities have yet to explore…… Africa (Kilimanjaro) and bike tour in Spain is on the top of my list ;-)
Send me an email if you are interested ;-) Please, don't wink!! I DON'T respond to wink.

I am a mixture of smart and sexy and although I make no claim to being America's next top model, I can still turn heads when walking down the street or when I enter a board room. I'm very comfortable with who I am, I am not your average girl! I love to challenge and be challenged.
On a more serious and deeper note, I have a great family. My dad is German and my mom is Spanish and together they created beautiful children.

PS: I love kids, dogs and motorcyles, if you have any of these three you are on your way to finding the keys to my heart.:)

Meet someone special from California, United States. I have a huge sense of mischief and sense of humor. I grew up in Montreal so adopting every winter sport imaginable was a basic survival strategy - I make excellent snow angels, ski (downhill and cross country), and yes, I've tried curling (the sport not the hair). I've travelled extensively, speak french, and really like spontaneous trips. Whether it's a week in Tahiti or a weekend on the coast, I can pack in 15 minutes w/1 bag... really. I've lived and worked in several countries/many cities. I may look very "girly" but I'm low maintenance. I'm fairly independent - I have little black dresses and own my own power tools and I know how to work both! I am fortunate to have a great and very successful career and jobs I love in research. But I can go from high brow intellectual to Ice Road Truckers and Dr. Seuss! :-) I believe in balance - work hard, play hard and make time for the people who are important in your life. I'm looking for someone who, like me, is financially and emotionally solid, but wants to find someone who makes your heart beat faster and thinking about them distracts you in the middle of the day and makes you smile. ("baggage" limited to carry-on size please!). I am a big animal lover especially dogs and horses. I foster rescue dogs and have one "perma-dog" - Bentley. Yes - my little silver Bentley. If you don't like dogs, it will be tricky. I appreciate fitness, good food, nice wine, and smart funny men!
Chemistry is unpredictable but I think it matters. I still love having doors opened for me and like being treated in that girly way... but without being treated like a ditz (blonde or not!). :-)
ps - guys please don't send me "winks" - if you can't be bothered to actually write that says something about the effort you are willing to invest... hint, hint. I delete winks OK? And if you don't have photos posted then at least email them (which only seems fair since I've posted mine) .

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm a very genuine, honest, loving person with a sense of humor, and I love to enjoy life to its fullest. I am interested in anything active, cooking together, being spontaneous and experiencing and learning about new things. I love anything to do with the water; boats, body surfing, walks on the beach, etc. I'm a musician and I enjoy all types of music. I also love animals and kids. Family and good friends are very important to me. I have a lot of energy and like to get out and do lots of things. Being physically fit is important to me and I work out several times a week. I'm looking for someone who is also energetic and active and wants to get out, be spontaneous and try new things and have fun.

Meet a woman from California, United States. I jest, therefore I am. I smile a lot; may as well use those big teeth of mine for good vs. evil. I have a life-size Elvis in my office – one day some poor, humorless soul asked me “what it was for”, so I said “mirth”. If you have to ask . . . . I'm an active, passionate person, so when I get bored, I have to bust a kooky move to change my destiny. I really enjoy taking day trips around the Bay Area, whether it be wine tasting, touring historical places, walking around Golden Gate Park, or doing totally cheesy tourista activities. I'm also a pretty observant, thoughtful person, and you won't find many people more honest than me. My goal on any date is to bring a smile to your face, and I hope you feel the same. I don't like arguing when I'm off duty. :-)
I’m looking for a man who is honest and direct, has a good sense of humor, and abundant confidence but not arrogance, who’s attractive and physically fit and brings his own mojo to the party. But you should also be someone who is considerate – if you’re a parent, you know what it means to put others first and feel rewarded for doing it. If this is you, and you can handle a woman who thinks everything is funny (well, it IS funny!), then get up off o' that thing! Carpe Razmtazz and drop me an e-mail. Please, no winks (I want to see what you have to say), and post a photo in your profile, preferably a close up (no sunglasses, no hats, just your fine self).
My photos look just like I do in person. I won't be showing up less fit than you see right here; in my profession, I don't want to limit myself to merely sounding like I could kick my opponent's butt. And, if we go on a date and you remain interested, let me know! I like a man who knows what he wants.
Oh, and if you like good cookin', you must always abide by the apron (see photo).

Date someone special from United States. They're in each other all along.” ~ Rumi
Deeply spiritual, hopeless romantic, pragmatic, androgynous (as in "paradoxical unity"), INFP and emotionally intelligent is how I like to describe myself and hope that what I write here reflects my very subjective description. "We don’t see the world as it is, we see it as we are".Anais Nin believed. I always keep my beloved Lao Tzu's words in mind though: “When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be". Truth is, I believe that reality is just a shared illusion anyway so... here's my best shot at this ").
I seek a friend, a partner, a lover with whom I have a certain amount in common and some stimulating differences; someone who has the capacity to develop an intense, deep, meaningful and close relationship at every level in an evolved way. "All my life, I thought of love as some kind of voluntary enslavement. Well, thatРІР‚в„ўs a lie: freedom only exists when love is present. The person who gives him or herself wholly, the person who feels freest, is the person who loves most wholeheartedly. And the person who loves wholeheartedly feels free" Paulo Coelho. I was married for 22 years and have been single now for 5. I'm on this site simply to see if I recognize my twin flame, I'm not here to meet a bunch of guys nor to serial date though in the past, I did meet two of my closest friends on sites like these so I'm open to developing a friendship if we end up having that type of connection.
"The Four Agreements" has deeply influenced my life. Rarely do I take things personally and I make it a point not to assume; making safe and loving communication crucial in the relationship. I believe that true love is accepting our loved ones as they are and supporting them in any way required; after all, according to Jung: "Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to a better understanding of ourselves." I'm not interested in an ego based relationship... "If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love" Thich Nhat Hanh.
Known to be a bit candid at times; I try my best to be very conscientious of how I communicate and to be respectful, kind and mindful when I do. I believe in the Golden Rule though I always remember Confucius' wise words: "Expect much from yourself and little from others and you will avoid incurring resentments".
Thomas Szasz said: The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget the lessons learned from the experience". With that said; I try to learn the lessons that need to be learned in every experience, interaction or relationship I have so that I don't dwell in the past and I'm very much in touch with my feelings and emotions so that I do not project onto anybody any issues I might still have unresolved. I have invested a great deal of time and hard work to resolve and heal as many issues from my past as I could and I can joyfully say that I have come here today with very little baggage for you deal with.
There is no question I love having fun and adventures just like everybody else on this site; I have traveled extensively both "gypsy" style as well as luxuriously and I'm always open to trying pretty much anything. I love to laugh and do have a great sense of humor and you will find me playful most of the time but loving, always and unconditionally so. What activities we do or have in common are irrelevant to me as I believe that whatever they are, they'll always be much more enjoyable when a strong deep relationship has been established. If what I've articulated here resonates with you at the core of your being please don't hesitate to contact me.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I balance my fast paced life in the high tech of Silicon Valley with my love for international travel. My favorite trips have been to Machu Picchu, Galapagos Islands, Petra, Sinai Desert, Burma, Peru Rain Forests and more. On my numerous trips to Club Med, I love the waterskiing and windsurfing and especially the circus trapeze! I've been taking improve classes for a long while and I truly love them. I love live theater and seeing independent films the first weekend they're out but my favorite first date is good conversation, just getting to know someone. I'm a regular at the gym 6 mornings a week and I immerse myself in reading non-fiction. I enjoy my lifelong friends. I'm from Chicago and I am very close to my very large extended family there and travel to Chicago to spend the Jewish holidays with my family. I'm looking for a guy with a good sense of humor who enjoys a smart woman and can both plan and be spontaneous. I'd really enjoy sharing my favorite experiences with someone. Nothing would fulfill my life more than a "partner" to share it all with.

Date a woman from United States. I'm a happy person with a positive outlook on life. I've spent so much time working and being a mom, with my son in his first year of college I am excited to start the next chapter in my life. While I find it difficult to write an entire page about myself, if we meet in person I promise I am not quiet or shy and will be happy to fill in any gaps from my profile. I realize from reading the above that it looks like I might be semi-retired. I'm not, just started a new job heading up sales for a start-up and I am loving every minute of it! Its just that now I am also making sure that I take time for me as well. And with my son in college, this is easier.
Like everyone else, I enjoy the outdoors, hanging out with friends, cooking, going on walks/hikes and watching movies. I'm working on increasing my level of fitness and work out several times a week, including getting outdoors as much as possible and walking/hiking on weekends. I also enjoy wine tasting and live music, but I can't say that I have found much time lately for these activities.I can have as much fun just hanging out at home as going out to a nice restaurant or concert. Basically I enjoy myself where ever I am and whatever I'm doing.
I'm looking for honesty and the ability to find humor in both good and bad times. I'm really looking for a genuinely nice guy, someone confident and comfortable with who they are but doesn't take themselves too seriously.While I don't know if its possible online, I'd like to find that special someone to grow old with. Sappy, I know. Someone who challenges me intellectually and makes my heart race. If you also have a romantic side, that would be appreciated. Message me if you are interested in getting to know me better.

. If you are looking for a fun loving friend and an intellectual woman who is confident and comfortable in her skin, then read on. I am a high tech executive and I also run a nonprofit on the side. I love art, music and being outdoors......love French and Spanish and hope to learn at least one these languages at some point. I have two amazing kids who are growing up and need their own space so I guess its time for me to think about myself.
I would like to find someone who is interested in enjoying every day of life. Someone who enjoys going out just as much as reading a book together or watching a movie. An individual who is thoughtful, caring and generous. Someone who has traveled the world and respects other cultures and people. I enjoy intellectual conversations and am interested in world affairs. It would be fun to have a stimulating conversation over wine and dinner. I am down to earth but also sophisticated in taste.
I love cooking, listening to music, going for walks, hikes and skiing with friends and family. Just returned from Argentina and fell in love with the Tango! I think I make a pretty mean chocolate souffle. I also enjoy writing and doing art and otherwise just having fun and being active.
I love all kinds of music from rock bands to classical and opera. From the Stones, Beatles, Annie Lennox, Elton John, blondie, Steely Dan, Chrissie Hinde, Joni Mitchell, to Chopin and Bach and more recently Tango music.
A few of my favorite movies are Diva, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Annie Hall, Casablanca, The Reader, Midnight in Paris, La Femme Nikita, All Bond and Traffic.
Some books I have enjoyed include Genome, Infidel, Olive Kitterage and I am currently reading The Long Road to Freedom.
I spend a lot of time thinking about music, art, love and how wonderful things are except for that one space for a special friend that remains empty at the moment. On a typical Friday night I am going out with my kids or my friends or doing art or reading a book wth a nice glass of red wine.....

. I have a very dry and quirky sense of humor and love others with a quick wit.I find intelligence a huge turn on, as well as a man who knows his way around the kitchen. A fun day for me is walking with my partner to the farmers' market, and coming home to share a glass of wine, cook, and eat outside.
I am an artist by training and temperament. I work full time as a designer which is fun and challenging. I was lucky to have had a career in my former life that allowed me to travel to Italy and France twice yearly.
I have lived on both coasts, though I was born and raised in the Midwest. I love living in the Bay area, however I still read the NY Times.
