Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am 62 and recently retired from a 35 year teaching career which I absolutely loved. I retired 4 years early and am in transition. I am not complex. My husband was responsible for placing his lover in a teaching position at my school which resulted in her being my team mate-10 months of hell and why I retired early. I am looking for companionship, acceptance, partnership, and fun. I am smart, fun, active, great shape, and very social. Responding to this website is a very big step on my part. Although my spouse has not been monogamous, I look for a relationship that takes vows seriously, as I have been true for the 40 years of our marriage.
Meet someone special from California, United States. Looking for a Match who will ignite the flame and keep it going long enough to toast the marshmallows...
This woman might be a little quirky at times, but has positive attributes that outweigh the negative.(Actually, You will have to decide that for yourself.) (OK.....read my lips: I'm, working on: ferme la bouche.) I don't need much to adapt, just a few things: a fluffy, down pillow, rich, dark coffee, and good music. It doesn't take much to make me feel happy! I even sing in the shower... Oh darn!...... I guess I need the shower, too !
I am drawn to men who unconditionally love themselves first and foremost....including their flaws.....
I appreciate a man who is physically active and seeks new experiences and adventures.
I respect a man who has some self-awareness about his 'kinks" from childhood and past relationships without projecting blame.
I love a man who has solid relationships with family and friends and who loves animals and children.
I adore good listeners and men who communicate well; who are learning and growing forever!
You are tired of looking for 'the next best thing" and ready to be with one woman "who is good enough'. You know the scarifices that you will be giving up to be with one woman, i.e., giving up other women..
I have heard it said that the first stage of a 'relationship' is attraction. The 2nd stage is 'uncertainty'. This is normal and happens with all of us. When we get to that 'uncertainty' stage, I am willing to put in the effort during this stage.
I have made a huge effort to understand men.... and how we communicate differently. I am learning from my mistakes. That is where the nuggets are and growth happens! Gently tell me where I can improve. I can take it. I'm a big girl, and I will appreciate your honesty.
I was married once for 38 years and single for a bunch. My remarried ex and I are good friends, and I serve on a board with him at his invitation.. Our interests can be different. The superficial things don't matter as long as we have a couple of interests in common. It goes deeper. It's the core values, the way we communicate, how much fun we have, and how comfortable we are together. How do we solve those inevitable problems?
Lucky me, I am happy and will share my happiness with the right man! Sure I have my ups and downs,as does everyone, and yet, I spend, by far, most of my time in 'Happy' mode. I CHOOSE to be happy!
I accept and forgive a man's 'mistakes' and honor his struggles. If you are the one I chose, I will pay very little attention to the things I don't like about you, focusing on all your 'good stuff'..When we disagree, I will wonder about your views, seeking to understand, while avoiding criticism, blame or defensiveness.
.My ex always had his freedom to do what he wanted, and I encouraged that. I also loved my own life separate from him. I take full responsibility for my own life, even so Not PC: I need a man!
Exercise and nutrition are important to me because I love my body and want to maintain my outstanding health! ( I cannot possibly be as old as I am...too much energy.) We will have matching energy, including sexual energy. I am sensual and feel so happy when I am dancing to slow blues. closing my eyes, allowing the music carry me to another place. I celebrate being a woman!
If you are the man I choose, I will celebrate you! You will wake up with a smile every morning, knowing you are loved, respected, admired and supported. Your life will be happier, easier, full of flowing love and appreciation Go ahead, look for a 'better' match on the next page, but you will miss a wonderful opportunity ....and the marshmallows.. When you bring the chocolate, make it dark!
P.S. I had the distinction of turning 68 on 9/11/11. I've been told recently that I look 4 years younger than my oldest son. Do you think we should tell him?
I've been told, consistently, I look like my pictures. No surprises!:)

Date someone special from Pleasanton, United States. Change keeps the mystery of life alive and nature feeds my soul. Photography keeps my passion flowing and enhances every other aspect of my life. I'm not "all grown up" yet.... I still believe in "Happily Ever After", Destiny,& A Higher Power...People with good values and a zest for life always catch my attention. I am independent and have started my own photography business defining it as fine art. I love to travel and enjoy the view from small aircraft. Feminine, passionate, loyal, flexible, sensual, and eclectic best describe who I am. Keeping an open mind and not setting any boundaries on life makes living much more fun. Relationships take hard work and constant nurturing, but the rewards are what make love and life worth living. No one can predict the elusive chemistry we all feel, but we all know it when we see it. Photography is my first love, but my interests are many. Traveling, hiking, working out in the gym, too many to list. I'm open to anything new at least once. I consider myself very fortunate. I've been lucky in love, inherited good genes, am surrounded by loving friends, survived many sorrows, and still have a lot of living to do. I wish to meet someone who desires a committed relationship. My main photo was taken by me (the photographer) in Feb 2008 , photo with friend Aug 2010, the photo with long hair was taken Nov 05, and the others were taken in 2001. Please - no messages without your photo...You may not share the same interests as I, but you are passionate about something in your life. You have a strong sense of who you are and where you want to be. You like to communicate and can laugh at yourself once in a while. Everyone says you have a loving heart and respect others. You love togetherness but remain your own person and do have a few things you like to do on your own. The simple things in life bring you the most pleasure and you like to travel and explore new places. If so, I am waiting to hear from you......

Not necessarily looking for long term, but you never know.
