Date women from United States / California / Palo Alto - page 7

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Thanks for visiting my profile. I am exploring this site.
I am shy at first when I meet someone new. I like swimming, sailing, reading, cooking, gardening and music. I hope to meet someone strong who respects my values and who I can connect with.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I'd rather be meeting you on a biking trail, an international airport or even at Whole Foods but instead I'm resorting to match.com. I figure it's better than reality T.V.
I'm originally an eastcoaster and have lived in a number of fun and interesting places (both domestically and internationally).
I enjoy outdoor sports, travel, cultural events and hanging out with good friends and family.
I've always been an outgoing type who stays physically active and meets people easily yet I haven't met that special someone to settle down with. I'm at a point in my life and career where I'd be ready for a deeper relationship if the right person came along yet I refuse to settle because of a biological clock or financial security. I'm looking for a best friend.
I prefer not to have a clone but someone who can complement me and expose me to new ideas and interests. I am an independent woman but value trust, companionship and open communication. That physical spark is important for a lasting connection but I'd also be open to just meeting some fun interesting new people who would enjoy experiencing the Bay Area together.
Finally, I must admit my actual age is 41 yrs old although I look about 30 years old in person. Unfortunately I've discovered on these dating sights most men are looking for women much younger than themselves and I'm grown tired of the out of shape over 50 year old men contacting me. I'd prefer to have someone who is young at heart, active (both physically and mentally) and who enjoys exploring and trying new things. I've learned that age is just a number and that I'd prefer to meet someone who I connect with on all levels.

Date a woman from California, United States. I have to describe myself in this tiny box? I'm a California native who just relocated back to Palo Alto. I'm a fun, pretty goofy girl. I love trail running but due to a recent injury, I'm sticking to non-impact sports these days. I enjoy swimming with the masters team, as well as biking around the Portola Valley Loop, and hiking at Rancho San Antonio. Hope to do some more rock climbing soon.
I'm fun, adventurous, and loving life. I love traveling to places like London, Paris, Rome, Australia and OZ. I'm so lucky to have a lot of international friends and have gotten to see where the locals hangout. I love experiencing new places. Like swimming with the endangered Hector dolphins in Oz. Trail running in Australia. Harvesting grapes in the South of France. When friends visit, I like to roll the red carpet out for them too. Like grabbing a drink at the Top of the Mark. Seeing the Hells of Gate at the Rodin Sculpture Garden at night. Relaxing on the patio at the Moss Beach Distillery after a day of checking out the tide pools.
I recently finshed my PhD (in Organizational Psychology) and I'm enjoying getting the rest of my life back. I love school and can't believe it's finally done. I am now an adjunct professor who mentors grad students to help them along their journey. Ok, so I'm a bit of a geek, but hey, geeks are hot, right? ha ha
I'm really good at living each day to the fullest and having fun! Life is an adventure and I am enjoying the journey. It's not so much about rushing to a destination or finish line. I have had dear friends who passed away from cancer. So, I have been really humbled, and try not to take anything for granted. That, and grad school made me realize the more you study, the less you really know.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit here is that I was born with a slight disability and told I'd never run. Thirty years later I've run 6 marathons and even did an Ironman! Never say never! Ok, so what else? Hmmm. Well I was once in a relationship for 10 years. We are still good friends. I confess I'm a hopeless romantic. As William Shakespeare once said, Love all. Trust a few. Do wrong to none." Well, I'm working on it ;)
As for what I'm looking for? Just moved back to Palo Alto and I'd love to meet new friends. The town has changed so much. Would love to grab dinner, have coffee, some wine, and/or perhaps a crazy game of scrabble. Oh the madness! Just a warning, I will kick your butt! Are you game? ha ha. But seriously, would love some great conversation, laughter, and friendship.
Cheers :)

Meet a soulmate from Palo Alto, United States. You're looking for the trifecta - sweet, sexy, smart - and you haven't been able to find it until now. I'm looking for a tall and confident manly man who adores me when I'm cute and admires me when I'm strong. You want to take care of me even though you can tell that I don't need it.
You agree that intimacy and a healthy sex life are essential to a great relationship, and you are dedicated and resourceful in ensuring this aspect. Bonus points if you've read the Five Love Languages, and you think that your love languages include Physical Touch, Quality Time, or both.
Ideally, you are at least as smart, well-educated, and successful in your career as I am. You recognize that emotional intelligence is often more important than raw intelligence, both at home and at work.
Just as you look for certain physical traits in a woman, so do I in men - please be at least six feet tall (the taller the better), so that I can smile up at you, even when wearing four-inch heels. :-)

Date someone special from Palo Alto, United States. Dedicated to making the most of my life, be it in love, work or play. I'm open, curious, kind, adventurous, honest and a hopeless romantic, in the sense that I am an optimist at heart. I'm pretty well versed in a variety of things, but have a lot I still want to learn. I believe that the key to a good life is a positive approach and flexibility.
I'm curious about other cultures and love to travel -- I've visited over 28 countries so far. I love to be active and have a little bit of a killer instinct when it comes to balls and nets, so watch out! I love being creative, whether in my art or at work as a marketing director. I want to enjoy life every day when I can.
Family and friends are important to me -- I love them dearly. I lead a positive and healthy lifestyle. Life is a gift, and it would be an extra bonus to meet my partner in crime, laughter and love in this lifetime.
You are a really smart, open-minded, genuine and kind man who is serious about his own life, has passion/curiosity to learn new things, has a love of travel and exploration. You love to laugh and don't stress the small stuff.
Shoot me an email. I'd love to hear from you!

I've heard this online thing is supposed to work but I think it's an urban myth, so prove me wrong!

. I'm looking for a cool, active, fun, curious, intelligent person. I'm aspired and amazed by so many things that there is just not enough time every day. Hey, if you can make me feel challenged I like you already!

. I truly believe, in finding someone who can completely turn my world around. A person I can tell things that IРІР‚в„ўve never shared with another soul and still that person absorbs everything I say and actually wants to hear more. Someone I can share my hopes for the future with, dreams, and goals of life . When something wonderful happens, I canРІР‚в„ўt wait to tell that person about it, knowing that they will share in my excitement. A perfect man who will make me feel special and beautiful. My ideal man is someone I can be myself with without having to change, who loves that I laugh loud, get jealous for stupid reasons,catches me when I trip because Im not good in high heels but want to wear them anyway because I love the way they look, is protective of me and would give his life for mine because I know that is how much he loves me.
About me .. I am not perfect or an angel however I am a nice and good person at heart who helps all people who will ask for my help and will do the best I can to achieve their desires and hopes. I have a good education and was fortunate enough to have attended excellent schools along my path to sucess. I have my own business and am proud of my accomplishment however, I do not like to talk about my work a lot since I spent a great deal of my time there and want to meet someone who can take me away for a few hours a week from my business to have a good time with.
I like to get dressed on weekends and go to dinner and enjoy a glass of wine with that. I can really enjoy sitting somewhere outside with great company and spent a few hours people watching and enjoy just doign nothing important. I love cuddling on the beach listening to a concert or just go stroll around town with a gelato in my hand. When I have a moment alone on the weekend I read a book by the pool or walk my dog in the park since i enjoy my quite time as well.
Life is weird.. and I am looking to find someone who is compatible with me and is willing to work on building a solid monogamous relationship that will eventually leads to marriage one day.
I do understand that for a men to be able to handle a solid lasting relationship that he needs to be ready emotionally, and financially stable. Since i am looking for a lasting relationship I would like to meet a person who has reached sucess in his path, is comfortable with his life and can handle a relationship.
Looking forward hearing from that special man..I know you are out there somewhere :).

. HELLO ! Thanks for giving this a read.... I'm just your slightly above average, girl nextdoor type, looking for my "match"
- I'm grounded, solid, dependable & no drama, by choice not chance
- I was born & raised on the Central CA Coast, appx. 20 minutes south of Pismo Beach, moved up here (Palo Alto) about 10 years ago
- I hit the gym after work most days & although I occasionally induldge a couple guilty pleasures (Taco Bell, pizza), I routinely eat pretty healthy, I cook dinner at home most nights, I love fresh veggies but not huge on salads & no, I'm FAR FROM being vegan or vegitarian. I LOVE a good steak or sushi!
- I love movies, I have satellite (DirectTV) & a 42" flat screen but I rarely watch TV
- I love to cook, bake & candies I do make, especially enjoy hosting BBQs & gathering for my friends & family. I've also been told I'm good at mixing drinks ;)
- I read allot, I read the news daily (on-line) & I usually have several "real" (not Kindle, iBook/iPad, etc) books going at the same time. I'm card carrying member of the library! I tend to read non-fiction over fiction.
- I ride motorcycles for fun, I had a dirt bike growing up (& a pony & horses, LOL). I bought my 1st street bike a cpl years ago, so yah, I have my M1 lic., & I own a '06 Ducati & also an '03 Honda dirt bike. All my riding gear is pink, BTW.
- Integrity is paramount to me. One of my favorite quotes: "Wisdom is knowing what to do next.....VIRTUE is doing it" - major bonus points if you know who's paraphrased quote that is.
- like most ppl here,I work hard (my regular schedule is Tue-Friday) & I play & relax harder! I love my 3 day weekends, every week, LOL!
- I don't smoke anything at all, ever & I do not use drugs. I do however, occasionally enjoy an alcoholic beverage, usually a good margarita (fresh lime juice, agave syrup, good tequila) or a good red wine. More times than not though, I'm the DD when I go out w/ friends because I'm just not a big drinker.
- I'm hetrogeneous (&, just for snickers & giggles, I like usuing $5 dollar words once in awhile, LOL). Soooo, yes, sometimes I ride motorcycles but all my gear is pink, I love cars & I know a little something something about motors & gears (I owned a '68 Camero at one) & I currently own a great collection of hoodies, I also take allot of pride in looking & acting like a lady, I wear make-up but always keep it simple, I love wearing high heals & well fitting, dresses or skirts, keeping my French mani/pedi up to date, my skin soft & long blonde hair looking nice &, yes, I smell good too!
So, that's the Cliff Notes version.... e-mail me if any of this sparks interest or intrigue!! THANKS!
