Date men and women from United States / California / Pleasant Hill - page 8

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Life's not a spectator sport and I'm living mine to the fullest. I work hard so I can play hard. I like hiking in the hills, cooking gourmet meals, and spending time with close friends. My work is fast-paced and includes travel which I enjoy, but I also appreciate quiet times at home just hanging out.
I'd love to meet someone who has his own full life and wants to share some of that together. If you're active, with a sense of adventure, smart and available, then we may have something to talk about.

Meet people from Pleasant Hill, United States. I asked my friend to write this, that way you could get a true and real depiction of who I am... I am a warm, kind person. I put others before myself. I need and deserve to be with someone whose qualities consist of being honest, giving, loving, fun, exciting, strong and a good companion or friend (I already have a dog and don't need another:)).
I have spent the major portion of my life being there for others and raising my kids. I am resolved with being a little selfish. I enjoy being with someone who enjoys and appreciates me and my company.
I like some space, but am looking for someone to go do things with, essentially a best friend. Some one who is up for doing something spontaneous, but on a cold winters day, cuddling on the couch in front of the fire.
I deserve to be with someone who wants to teach me things I have never done before and willing to enjoy watching the smile on my face when I am having a good time, but pays attention enough to know that this is simply not my cup of tea!
I am not looking for someone who wishes for me to dote on them, but wishes to cherish me.

Date men and women from Pleasant Hill, United States. Thanks for taking the time to read my profile.
I feel that there has to be an initial mutual attraction in order to capture someone's attention.
Then that's when one starts to explore the many layers of ones' personality. I could come up with a list....but that's all it will be a list of who I think I am; and a list of what I am looking for.
That in itself does not constitute a match. I feel that compatibility is not measured by a checklist. Getting to know one another as a friendship evolves is more natural and it is part of the excitement of meeting someone new.
I will say that I am considered caring, and compassionate. I care about people and am very respectful. I am goal oriented and successful in life. I have a positive outlook...which is probably the most important element in someone's personality. I would like to meet someone who believes in romance, is a gentleman at heart and is emotionally open to the idea of a true connection. Someone who is open to explore the possibilities and all that life has to offer. Someone who is witty and has a good sense of humor.....I love to laugh!
Anyway, if you would like to get to know me feel free to contact me....let's talk!
P.S. the little boy in the pictures is my grandson who is now 6. I do love spending time with him!

Date people from United States. If I pique your interest and you are local (from the Bay Area)--that means no one from LA, NY, Texas, etc., and the rest of the country! --, send an e-mail . . . please NO winks -- If you send a wink, that means you didn't read my profile. Please have a photo; if not, what do you have to hide?! As for my photos, no body shots anymore due to lewd emails!!!! Why?! Please only seriously interested reply. I may look at profiles and not wink and/or send an email but it doesn't mean I'm not interested . . . I'm just a girl that wants to be pursued. We all want we want and should not hold back so here it goes . . . .
MY RULE FOR DATING: Let your freak flag fly, and if someone doesn't get you, then move on . . . life is too short! I have been asked many times about the meaning of "Let your freak flag fly" . . . just be yourself and be true to yourself. Don't worry about what other people think (being pretentious is such a turnoff!). I consider myself a rebel and unconventional . . . following the same old path is boring.
I believe in total honesty and am very upfront. I also believe that sexual chemistry is important; however, if that's all you're looking for, please do not respond . . . friends first . . . this is important as there seems to be a lot of people so quick to take it to the bedroom . . and not because they are tired! I am more interested in intellectual intercourse first . . then the heat is much more passionate. In addition, I would like to meet someone that appreciates where I have been and where I want to go.
Looking for someone that is affectionate and takes initiative -- knows what he wants . . . because I know what I want . . . a man that makes me feel like a woman and reminds me why I love being a woman. A man that is stable and with a sense of direction . . . a good looking guy (INSIDE & OUT) that isn't vain. Give me all of you and you will get all of me and more in return. You have to be sexy and I need to be attracted to you! Someone with a current sense of style is a plus as well.....it's hard to find a guy at this age that is "cool" and has a current sense of style! I have a current sense of style...and in no way conservative...have tattoos: one on my ankle (geez, what girl doesn't!) and a current one on my entire back and around down under that is a work in progress :-).
I tend to be attracted to men that are closer to my age or younger as I look younger than my age (blessed with good genes!! and probably being a goof ball and not taking life too seriously has helped...and I may be a grandma but no granny panties here! LOL). I am open to meeting people that may not share the same interests as I am open to new challenges and adventures. I would like to meet someone that is intelligent . . . at least someone that can spell! Someone on the independent side (someone that is financially stable!) as I tend to be the same. I don't like drama . . . at all! I do not play games and will not be played. I believe in communication and mutual respect . . .
Friends describe me as sweet, easy to talk to ("put people at ease"), giving (tend to put others before myself but not afraid to speak up for myself when and if the situation should arise), goofy, "one of the guys," passionate about life and what I do in my profession, easy going, diverse . . . Friends say that my personality reminds them of Elaine from Seinfeld. My guy friends say I am "hot" but where is the fire.... where are you?! This is tough b/c men are afraid to approach b/c they think I am taken . . . ugh! I think-and I have been told--that my confidence and independence may be intimidating . . . . bottom line, I'm just a sweet, super shy girl looking for a nice guy.
I like going to the gym at least five times a week . . . I hired a personal trainer. I wouldn't consider myself a "gym rat" but more of a mouse. I like to stay in shape and appreciate someone that does the same. Training and working towards running a marathon!

Meet a woman from Pleasant Hill, United States. Hi... Okay, this is who I'm looking for.... Someone who wants to travel, go to Europe, cycle in Italy, France, Spain or any other beautiful spot. I'm looking for someone that wants to go to Hawaii and enjoy the beautiful sunsets together. I travel every year to Europe to visit my sister and her family and it would be nice to share my travels and experiences with someone special. I'm a romantic at heart...I'm looking for that one special person. Someone to share a great love affair with..that lasts a life time and the chemistry never ends. Someone who is my love and my friend. Someone I can trust, depend on, share my thoughts with and share life's ups & downs with. In return, I'll be right there giving back. I'm looking for someone that is fun, outgoing, likes to do things, go places, travel and experience new adventures, someone who likes to go to the movies, theater, museums, art exhibits, concerts & sporting events. Someone who enjoys staying home, listening to music and sharing a bottle of wine or just watching a good movie curled up on the couch together. I have high morals & values. I believe honesty, trust and respect are key in a relationship. Once that is gone, the magic of a relationship is lost. I believe in a healthy lifestyle. I don't do drugs and don't want to be with someone that does. I drink on a social basis only. I cherish my friends and family. To have true friends you have to be a true friend. As far as my family, I never take them for granted, we are a close knit family and we are always there for each other. I believe that each day is special and I think it's important to let the person I'm involve with know that they are part of that day. I truly believe that the most important person in your life is the one you share it with.
I live a simple life, I work, workout, take vacations, eat healthy and try to enjoy each day. Thank you for reading my profile and if you think we might be a match wink or write :)

Date people from Pleasant Hill, United States. I am adventurous, but not a daredevil; creative, but have common sense; active, but not obsessed; romantic, but practical; positive, but realistic; honest, but not cruel; independant, but sometimes lonely; passionate, and compassionate. I love animals, travel, nature, and to laugh.
I am happy with my life, and easy-going by nature. I have a good social circle, and I stay busy. Still, it would be nice to have someone special to share life, laughter, and love.
I take chances. Not long ago, I sold my house, quit my job, bought a motorhome, and traveled around the country and Baja. It was the best experience of my life. Now I am back from the road and enjoying being back in the Bay Area.
I'm looking for a positive, friendly, honest, kind, playful, active guy who is adventurous, loves to travel, the outdoors, animals, is passionate, and compassionate. If he likes to cook, that would be a HUGE bonus! I would like to find someone in the SF East Bay, so please, no long distance contact.

Meet someone special from Pleasant Hill, United States. How do I describe myself? Hmmm…I think I’m fairly smart, maybe a little more than average. I tend to see the humor in life’s ironies. Most days I see the glass as half full, although from time to time it might need to be topped off. I suppose we all have days like that, don’t we?
I detest drama. I’ve been told by more than one ex that they kept waiting for the crazy she –devil to come out, but she never did. I’m actually pretty normal. I always say, “leave the drama at the door”. Mine is a drama free zone.
I try to keep fit and I run a few times a week. I have always been active but now that IРІР‚в„ўve hit the half century mark it is even more important, not just for my physical health but for my sanity. I have come to appreciate the way my head clears after a good run. ItРІР‚в„ўs like emptying the overflow.
In 1995 I moved here from the east coast and started over from scratch. I like to say it was an early midlife crisis. I needed to do something different, change my life and get away from the cold winters. San Francisco seemed like a good fit, and I lived in the city for the first few years. I kept waiting to have the love affair with the city but it just didnРІР‚в„ўt happen, and when I had the opportunity to move to the east bay I took it and never looked back.
Oh, I cook, too. IРІР‚в„ўm actually a non-practicing pastry chef, went to school and everything! One of the advantages of my career is that IРІР‚в„ўve spent a lot of time in kitchens and around chefs and IРІР‚в„ўve learned a few tricks. I can hold my own in the kitchen, although my knife skills are pretty non-existent.
As for dating, I like being in a relationship. I am affectionate, I like to touch and be touched, and I enjoy doing things and planning little surprises for my man. That said, I donРІР‚в„ўt really have any interest in casual dating. IРІР‚в„ўm not looking for an activity partner or a friend with benefits. Of course I realize that relationships start out casually, and my hope is that I will meet someone who will become my best friend and ultimately, my husband. If that isnРІР‚в„ўt a path that you see for yourself then you probably arenРІР‚в„ўt the right man for me. IРІР‚в„ўd rather be honest about what I want from the start then have it come as a surprise to someone a few months down the road. That doesnРІР‚в„ўt mean that IРІР‚в„ўm on a mission to get married; IРІР‚в„ўd rather be single than in an unhappy relationship. But IРІР‚в„ўm not looking to invest my heart in something that doesnРІР‚в„ўt have a chance for a future. Ideally, you feel the same way.
I should also say that I'm not a fan of the long distance relationship. I want to be close enough to be spontaneous and invite you to meet me for a drink or dinner after work (and vice versa).
I'm also not a big fan of the wink. It feels like the burden is then on me to start the conversation, indicating a lack of confidence. Men, take note...confidence = attractive!

Date people from California, United States. I am a social person, very outgoing, very much interested in what other people are in terms of their personalities and life experiences. I consider communication to be the most important thing in maintaining loving, lasting relationships. Relationships never offer a guarantee and they always require work. ThatРІР‚в„ўs why relationships don't work for people who are not willing to work and for people who are not willing to work without guarantee. I am a Russian American. I got my MS degree in Europe and now working in pharmaceutical industry as a research scientist. I enjoy ballroom dancing, tennis, roller blading, horseback riding, skiing, theater, gardening, classical music, good movies, and definitely a good conversation. I am looking for a man who is kind and intelligent. Education definitely matters but isnРІР‚в„ўt everything. This person will not be superficial, especially when it comes to relationships. Life offers tons of interesting things, IРІР‚в„ўd prefer to meet someone who has a zest for life but is well balanced at the same time. There are a lot of things we can talk about, but letРІР‚в„ўs take one step at a time.
P.S. My pictures are current.
I am looking for serious relationship only.

Meet a woman from United States. "I want a man who wants my good thang!" (Nothin' like blues lyrics to nail it!) I am looking for someone with the same joie de vivre that I have. I've always been happy at heart and I am lucky to be surrounded with friends who find joy and humor in life as well. Life seems to be about balance: I am optimistic and passionate yet grounded (I have 3 teenagers and I know how to roll with the punches and not take things too seriously as I watch these amazing creatures grow); I am blessed with good health and yet I do love the indulgence of toasty wine and imaginative cuisine; I love to play (SCUBA, skiing, hiking, tennis) yet I am rock solid in a crisis; I am independent...yet I LOVE to be in love. Oh, did I mention that I love to dance?
A word maven, I do love to be intellectually stimulated--I am addicted to cryptic crosswords and acrostics. (You don't have to be.) But here's a must-have: I LOVE to travel (most recent trips have been to Italy, Paris and Hawaii) and can't think of much I'd rather do with my time than get on a plane to Europe or someplace balmy, beachy. And I adore traveling with someone I love, exploring villages or museums arm-in-arm, riding out a rainstorm in a cafe, chatting up the locals to find the best places to go dancing. I have a lot of energy and I'm looking for an intelligent and easy-going companion to share the adventures and the quiet fireside snuggling. It's corny, I know, but I have a very positive outlook on life and I'm looking for someone to go smiling with me into our future.
