Date women from United States / California / Palo Alto - page 13

Date a woman from United States. The most important part of my life is the connections that I make with people . I have owned a gallery for the past 15 years. These days I go in to work 3 days/week with a mix of work leisure the rest of the time. I'm very comfortable by myself...infact usually one day a week I enjoy staying home...and not getting out of my sweat pants and tank top...just piddling around the garden...visiting with my flowers and cats, sitting in the hot tub with a cup of coffee. Does this sound good to you ;-)
I love my work...and it's great having a retail business and selling "cool stuff like crystals and fossils"...but the best part of my business is meeting and connecting with wonderful people. I beleive in these times...that people really are wanting to feel connected. I am awe of the amazing natural energy and beauty of the earth. I'm active; you'll find me taking a hike, kayaking in the bay or out on a tennis court. I'd like to take up Salsa dancing again get back in to Yoga...so it would be fun to meet someone that already enjoys or is interested in these things. Some of my most meaningful experiences in the past year include; the previlege of holding my mentors hand as she took her final breath, having all four of my neices and nephews (ages 4-10) for a sleep over...yes all at the same time :-) and hosting my 99 year old friend at my house for lunch on her birthday. I have become very active in volunteering in the community in the past year...including Rotary and serving on the BOD of a local charity.
I'm a kind, loving person who is looking for the good in people and the positive message in every situation.
I'm a natural leader with a nurturing, loving heart. I am lookng for a man who is strong enough in his own right to be comfortable with a smart, active, adventurious, intelligent woman. I can laugh at myself and so can you. I respect differing points of view and am inquisitive and self reflecting. Both me and my new best friend are fit, enjoy traveling to new places, trying new foods, spending time with our good friends and family. And we make it a priority to laugh every day. Life is an amazing adventure and I am on a quest to find a man that wants to cuddle, laugh, cry and experience life to it's fullest with me. We love each others company and can talk all day and all night, but also appreciate each other as individuals and our time apart. We are comfortable together even in silence... taking in all that this beautiful world has to offer. If this resonates with you let's take a chance and meet.

Meet someone special from United States. I wake up happy every day. My glass is almost always half-full. I have an active and sometimes crazy social life that includes lots of great food, wine, music, sports and friends. I feel fortunate to live in this beautiful part of the world. Originally from the Boston area so I am a real New England sports fan.

Date a soulmate from United States. I am proud to say I have good Minnesota roots and my 80 year old parents still hold hands and are still so much in love that I want the same. I believe timing in life is very important, we are constantly being tested, teachers appear when we need to learn lessons, my conscience is my religion , and the power of love. I am ready for a "Let's grow old together" relationship with respect, devotion , humor and so much love and friendship that we are very close to each other and bring out the best in each other.

Date someone special from Palo Alto, United States. I have been happily living in the Bay Area for the past six years, and am planning to stay here. As a doctor, I enjoy helping others, and myself, too, by keeping regular hours.
Spending time with family and friends is very important to me.
I am an optimist and enjoy every aspect of life. I am energetic, have an outgoing personality, and maybe sometimes can be a little goofy or silly.

Meet a woman from California, United States. I have strong values and consider myself to be warm, fun, loyal, generous and kind. ( BTW - My friends agree with that statement – always good to get validation when you’re making a claim about yourself.) My favorite times are spent with family & friends, learning new things, going new places, walking a beach, cooking, entertaining, working out, traveling and giving back to the community through volunteer efforts.
My ideal match is authentic, intelligent, outgoing, active, and sincere. He laughs a lot, likes animals and children, is down to earth, and is not afraid to voice his own opinion. An easy going personality, a sense of humor and a great smile are all pluses. I believe chemistry is an important attribute – and we will know it if it happens. I’m a passionate person and approach things with energy and heart and would want my partner to be excited with the things we would do together. Someone who asks how I am and cares about the answer

Date someone special from United States. I'm a full-time working mom, who loves her work and her 8 yo daughter. Like: sleep, food, chocolate, sun, days off, wine. Looking for a sweet man who is comfortable with himself, and is ready to help build and share relationships, a home, and a future. And is not allergic to animals. And who can use a label maker. Oh, and I could use someone who has an electric drill. I'll share my Keurig. OK, I'm sure that's not all, but I was not told there'd be a pop-quiz.

Meet a woman from California, United States. Greetings and thank you for checking out my profile. I'm a happy successful professional - independent and ready to meet a guy who is confident, sexy, and ready to be a companion, lover, partner, and friend.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Hi, I'm a sassy southern belle who likes to have fun. I love dancing, music, good conversation, museums, theater, travel, fine dining, books, being with friends, health and lots more. I workout regularly to keep myself in shape and I'm not too embarrassed to be seen in my bathing suit in public! I am flattered when a man sends me a Match "wink" or becomes a "new interest", but I feel it's too impersonal for me to answer. I'm looking for a happy, successful, tall (5'10 and over), handsome, gentleman, fifties to sixties. Someone loyal, honest, communicative, sophisticated. I can't resist a guy who can make me laugh! But chemistry is most important and so you just never know! A take charge kind of guy.. A guy who is good at chasing because I am hard to catch! I am looking for courtship. I know how to treat a man and appreciate a man who knows how to treat a lady.

. I'm a single mom to three adopted kids who are now teenagers and I work in the arts. I have kind of forgotten who else I am! I love to laugh and enjoy spending time with friends and family pretty much above all else. I like to read, dining out and spending time at the ocean - actually, any large body of water will do. I'm looking for a partner in crime to share simple pleasures with.

. I hope we grow to love each other and laugh through it all. It seems to me life is better when it's shared. I tend to be grateful and find the quieter part of life captures my heart.
A few more things you might want to know about me:
My home on weekends and holidays tends to have lots of comings and goings.
I'm proud of the small healthcare company I've built.
People inspire me who are passionate about their lives and the world. I enjoy local as well as international travel, walking on the Seine or hiking Arastradero preserve.
Adventuresome and warm hearted are words my friends use when describing me.
While being alone is a time for me to meditate and get centered, I'm an extrovert the rest of my day. I have lots of ideas and interests whether hiking, talking politics, taking a class at Stanford, cycling, a game of soccer in the park, cooking or just talking to friends or neighbors with a cup tea or a glass of wine. I can also kick back and lounge in the sun reading a book all afternoon.
Aren't we lucky to live in such a beautiful place?
I'm looking for a man who is sociable, comfortable discussing most anything and can give a good foot massage LOL. I'd like my partner to have too many dreams, and too many passions.

. I love life and enjoy good, clean fun. Most of the time, the simple things in life are what makes me happy. Family values say a lot about a person's character and I am cognizant of it. Although I am very visual, fit and chemistry are important to me in a relationship. Integrity is a must.
Relationship to me should be a shared experience, based on mutual trust and respect. You're in it because you want to - not because you have to. This is just my belief, not from personal experience, but from what I observed with friends, acquaintances, and life in general. When it's over for you, closure is equally important.
Why am I still single? Because my number isn't up yet. Kidding aside, I've been enjoying life and my career. And I love my job - but it's not my life. I'm independent and confident with who I am and what I want. I'm intelligent, sophisticated, talented, friendly, funny, considerate, patient, conscientious, worldly. I am neither superficial nor high maintenance. Although I get my share of attention, I joined Match to have more options and I think there are decent men out there. Chemistry can only be experienced face to face. I admire men who can maintain an open communication and not keep me guessing. "Say what you mean, mean what you say." A man of substance is one who takes intiative to show he cares. Material things are transient; thoughtfulness is long-lasting. While long term commitment for me is still on a hiatus, getting to know each other and enjoying each other's company for the moment would be a good start. Where the relationship goes from there,time can only tell...
