Date women from United States / California / Pleasanton, 48 year old

Date someone special from Pleasanton, United States. I enjoy meeting new people and taking on new challenges... I work hard, but like to play even harder. I'm lucky to have a job that I love and lots of friends and family to share good times with. I try to live life with minimal stress and maximum experience. I'm honest and sincere and what you see is what you get with me. I will say what I mean and mean what I say.
The main priority in my life is my children. One is 18 and off to college soon and the other will be a high school sophomore. They are amazing human beings and keep the smile on my face (well, most of the time). They are coming into their own and I find myself with more "me" time, so here I am on match. I would like to meet a man with whom I can get lost in conversation with. Communication is extremely important. In my opinion, an honest and faithful man is a true gentleman. Talk the talk and walk the walk. I will do the same.
I am confident and independent, but somethings are better shared with another. I am looking for my last first date.
A few things that I do not want to live without...hope, laughter, respect, family, friends, romance and love.
Are you out there? Can it be you for me?

Date a soulmate from Pleasanton, United States. Hi - thanks for stopping by! I am warm, loyal, honest, fun, intelligent, and have an infectious laugh and smile and a great sense of humor. I see the glass as half full and always try to see the good in life. I enjoy all the usual things (dancing, skiing (water and snow), biking, hiking, gardening, movies, long walks, traveling, curling up with a good book, and have a great back yard which is a terrific setting for outdoor gatherings. I love camping (even if there are no showers!) (I can fish!) or getting dressed up for an evening in the city. I grew up on the East Coast, lived in France and have lived in the Bay Area for 16 years and can't imagine living anywhere else. I work in marketing in the pharmaceutical device industry and love my job, but am by no means a workaholic. ...I have a sweet little dog who loves taking me for walks and 2 new kittens. My ideal partner is a warm, fun, intelligent man, who is honest and communicative. I want my partner to really listen to me, talk openly and honestly with me, share his feelings and fears with me, support me and not be judgmental and I in turn will do the same. I expect such a man would be confident in who he is and have integrity, be ambitious, but by no means a workaholic. Financial security is very important to me and should be to you as well. Obviously chemistry needs to be there. I want to feel safe in your arms and your heart. Being family oriented is important. A romantic man who can light a propane lantern is a plus.

Meet someone special from United States. Please, feel free to ask me what you need to know. I find it frustrating some make assumptions (incorrectly) therefore omitting the bonding portion of a friendship.

It's difficult to toss out a few details in hopes it attracts an individual who could be best fitted to me since none of us can place our entire selves on a mere page. I keep this in mind when reading profiles and hope you do too. That being stated, here is some depth...
A few things you might like to know about me... I have a cordless drill and I'm not afraid to put it to work. I enjoy target shooting with my handgun. I fought and won being robbed in a parking lot. I can muscle a bbq yet finesse a chocolate mousse. I used to be tomboyish but have come to embrace my inner femme and now really enjoy dressing up, heels and all. I am huge on respect and manners yet love a great dirty joke. I am fond of animal and human behavior. I like books of reference/resource (and the web) to assist my constant curiosities. I have the ability to shock myself and others with my own ability and will at times. I have loved, been loved, and lost, forgiven fully and know this life is fleeting so enjoy making those memories that stand out. No amount of pride is worth anger held. I'm not thin-skinned since I can and do laugh at myself and don't mind if you do too. You'll likely tease me about my hair addiction. Lol. It's all about friends, family and those beloved to me. Friendship is tantamount yet hopefully in tandem to dating. I'm looking for what is undeniable, that link and chemsitry that two take the time to build upon. I have a nice family great group of friends (Wino's)who would happily submerge (ha, ha) my partner into our events. I partake a healthy diet yet don't refrain from what I enjoy. I love to cook and hope to share great times in the kitchen with another who also feels the same. Together there would be no recipe we cannot conquer.
Not fond of moodiness, nor roles (titles) such as dominate or submissive as they pertain to a relationship. I'm used to balance and appreciate those who give more than thought to the premise. Please consider being humble enough to query since this process can be daunting at times. Confusion runs amok in these venues, in my opinion. I can be a little shy at first but you might not be able to tell. I am not one to initiate in this process but am prone to a flirt now and then in an attempt to reach out. I don't have that issue once established, thankfully. I am fond of PDA and quite tactile should we get to that point along the way. For those who care to know, I am not formally educated, yet artistic and considered bright and intelligent by my peers, testing within a healthy, normal range according to Meyers-Briggs.
Thank you for your time and best wishes to you in this journey. Cheers!
