Date women from United States / California / Palo Alto - page 15

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I enjoy spending time with family and friends. What they tell me that they appreciate about me are our interesting conversations, my open-minded spirit, and my sense of humor. I was born and raised in Taiwan, in a Catholic family, with 6 other siblings. We have a lot of fond memories growing up in such a big family. My eldest brother wrote a book about it after he retired and the book quickly became a best-seller! I came to the States in the 70's for graduate studies. I was a devoted mother, raised three wonderful sons, who are now all grown, well-educated, and independent. Two live on the East coast, and one is currently studying at Oxford. I taught college-level Chinese for 7 years, I love all kinds of performing arts, and I enjoy going to the theater very much. Once, my son and I performed in a community college production of "The King and I," and we had a wonderful time with it. When I was ten years old, I wanted to be a ballerina, and I still enjoy dancing today. I'm easy going but do have my beliefs and principles. I appreciate the finer things in life, but also like to keep it simple. I love to travel, to see new places and to learn new things. I have been to Paris a few times, also London, Scotland, Venice, Florence, Germany, Greece, Shanghai, but there are still many parts of the world I would love to see. I am adventurous but safe, free-spirited but with boundaries, open-minded and non-judgmental. I'm spontaneous, warm, loving, and compassionate. I'm trustworthy and a good listener. Who am I looking for? I am not looking for someone who is a carbon copy of me, as different interests broaden horizons. However, I would like to find a kindred spirit, someone who is a good person, who is kind, moral, loving and sincere, someone that can be my best friend. Then we'll see where future takes us...

Meet someone special from California, United States. Although I love exploring the simple outdoors, I also enjoy theater, dressing up for San Francisco dining, casual sporting events, most all types of dancing, art museums, traveling to interesting new places, spontaneous day trips, and sharing time with close friends and family. As much as I like planning tomorrows and future occasions, I treasure every day. I hope you have interests and/or hobbies for which you are filled with passion. I am interested in similar and complementary qualities in a man.... and someone who comfortably moves from one setting to another. To be quite honest, though sharing interests and laughing with a partner are very important to me.... this is the easier part. I'm looking for a deeper connection in thinking, mutual interest in the other person, and compatibility in values and positive attitude. You are a responsible, fun-loving man who enjoys life (your life) as it is, but really wants to share it with someone special. You are confident and know you have a lot to offer someone. Summer is around the corner and there are so many fun things to see and do in the bay area.

Meet a soulmate from Palo Alto, United States. Asked a few friends for a description: according to them (and me), I am upbeat, positive, authentic, down to earth, easy to know and very good company. They say "seeing you I smile and know we'll either be laughing soon or seriously discussing what's going on - whatever the topic, it will be real". I value honesty, integrity. Looking for joyful companionship....leading to a long term relationship. I work full time - plan to stay in the Bay Area, reasonably close to my daughter who is in Oakland.

Date someone special from Palo Alto, United States. I’m from lots of places—the northern and central Midwest, the Northeast, Southern California, New England, and, for the past dozen years, Northern California. Maybe we’ve passed each other on the sidewalk somewhere, sometime….
To earn my keep, IРІР‚в„ўve been writing about medicine and health for decades. IРІР‚в„ўm fortunate to feel comfortable in my current job and to like my co-workers very much.
When IРІР‚в„ўm not working, I like to read well-written books; bring friends together around my dinner table; walk/hike where itРІР‚в„ўs green and beautiful; listen to NPR; go to the movies, theater, and dance performances; listen to live classical, world, jazz/swing, blues, rock РІР‚?n roll, and Motown music; eat Asian, Mexican, Italian, French, Californian/fusion, and many other types of food; talk with people; and do a little traveling.
I've paddled a canoe in the Yukon River and walked along the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, but the most beautiful place I've ever seen is Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite in full bloom during the period of the Perseid meteor shower in August. It was as if nature were saying, "Here, have this beauty, and this, and this -- go on, have some more." (Yosemite is an Italian grandmother?)
I had many years of classical piano training, and I keep telling myself I'm going to "get my hands back." It would really be fun to play duets with someone who also plays the piano or another instrument -- no piccolos, thanks, but bring on the brass, strings, percussion, or wilder woodwinds (I love the oboe and bassoon).
Religiously, IРІР‚в„ўm best described as agnostic. For me, the way one treats others is whatРІР‚в„ўs important. I've done some meditation over the years, and I appreciate goodness and the small things in life .
I like the “Slow Food” movement’s philosophy of savoring what’s authentic and specific to a particular place. Similarly, I’d like to take the time to develop and savor a rich, deep, and gratifying relationship with one particular man, someone I could cherish.
IРІР‚в„ўm looking for

Date a soulmate from United States. I do not have a preconceived notion of who you might be, if you're even on match.com.
But, if you're a cross between and/or get what I'm inferring here: I need to be with someone who has the intellectual breadth/depth of Charlie Rose and the artistic sensibilities of Sting (lyrics/poetry and musical breadth), Pat Metheny (music), and Renoir to Rembrandt to Kandinsky (art).
I like a man who is confident, knows himself (strengths and weaknesses) and is compassionate. You must appreciate the arts, like college football (especially my team- we had a great year) and be politically liberal. The ability to communicate well and honestly is a must. Integrity is key and encompasses other important values. And, there must be chemistry and a little magic.
Are you curious about the world? I'm a lifelong learner and always open to something new to increase my knowledge and horizons.
I always find humor in life, can laugh at myself, and enjoy laughing really hard. Yet, I have a compassionate spirit for those less fortunate than I.
I have deep friendships with a diverse and eclectic group of people and enjoy good times, dinners, vacations, etc. with them. I like great company as well as time alone.
My daughter (23) and son (20) do not live with me, but we are close. They will need me for some time to come.
Travel is important to me. In 2010 I went to Alaska to see the glaciers before they melt in summer and in the fall, Paris. Paris...
This fall (2011) I went to Northern Italy (Venice/Florence). Sadly, I missed the Lake Country and Cique Terre.
Future plans include Bora Bora, New Zealand, Buenos Aires (to learn the tango), St. Petersburg (or Canada) to see the Northern Lights, and...
I take risks and consider myself a shepherdess of people, ideas, and programs in whatever I do. I love my position and work hard, but I love to play equally as hard. I stop to catch a "rainbow" as it passes through my life.
I'm sensitive, compassionate, sensuous, understanding, and enjoy life to its fullest. I embrace my interesting journey (it's certainly not boring) and look forward to the future...always have, always will.

. Trying a new sushi bar; watching the eclipse; discussing an interesting article from the NYT; enjoying a Giants game. These are the things I miss about being with a wonderful partner. I'm eager to meet someone who wil celebrate the everyday moments with me and will join me in appreciating the little things.
Family, productive work, giving back, are essential ingredients of my life. And I've got a pretty developed sense of humor. I'm a sophisticated gal, with an active intellectual life, and I love being with someone who can keep up with me. And if you're looking for someone who's fun to spend time with, my friends tell me I should report that I fit the bill. I'm energetic and I enjoy new activities.
Most important, I have a kind and generous heart.
Last, I consider respect to be the cornerstone of a good relationship, and I'm eager to meet a man who feels the same. Also, I want to be with someone who takes the time for self-reflection and who prides himself on taking the journey seriously.
Oh, yes, I look like the picture, and I'm told I'm attractive (although my hair is a little shorter these days).
I welcome the opportunity to hear from you!
Please no winks. And I appreciate some time to get to know you before we meet in person; an email conversation or a phone date are my preferred next steps.

. Fun-loving active adult who loves to travel and volunteer. Financially secure. Loves listening to jazz. Enjoys ballroom dancing, dining out and volunteering. Reading books, including non-fiction and thrillers. Beaches. Long-time Palo Alto resident who desires long-term relationship with fit, successful, independent, mature man. I have traveled extensively and recently returned from Holland and Belgium. Saw the breath-taking tulips...what a beautiful sight! Looking for someone who also loves to travel and is open to exploring other interests.

. I have had a very good life and am grateful. It has been punctuated by many similar joys, misunderstandings and moments of relearning and tragedies that most of us have had by the time we are in our 60's. Raised in the Bay Area and Palo Alto by Mid-west parents, I moved back about 8 years ago. Spent the previous 25 years in Los Angeles where I was married, raised a daughter and son and had a wonderful career in art departments in the film business. It was good to me yet after years of racing to deadlines and through 10-12 hour days not counting driving I grew a bit tired and bored. Probably was the fast approach of middle age and wanting life to have more meaning. Chose teaching and it was a smooth transition. High school. Harder than I thought but at least very meaningful. Anyway...I consider myself educated, informed, semi-erudite, politically minded, a good parent and most of the time easy to get along with. I love a good conversation that has direction without the need to win. I love a day in the City, the Dish, travel to just about anywhere in the world and enjoy conversation with wine while cooking. The usual good stuff of life. The NYT in the morning. I have a very busy life, take care of an elder parent, love my children and enjoy our maturing relationship yet need that friend, that love, to weave into my life. I am financially secure which offers comfort by my age. Most of my close friends live in Los Angeles and Australia which tends to be a drag. But as Gail Collins says, I digress. I am looking for someone who might fit under a similar umbrella. A man who has has a varied life, children, believes in being aware of and involved in the world's events and hopes for a better future through kind actions. Laughter is always good. I like to start as friends and do not have immediate expectations that exceed that of meeting another engaged person. If it grows then we are very lucky. I don't feel jilted if we are polite, enjoy a cup of coffee, engage in a two-way conversation, laugh a little and decide to not pursue a personal relationship. And hope for the same in return. I think this covers the basics! And a final note, with due respect for the system, I don't respond to winks. Aside from that, this summer is beautiful!
