Date a soulmate from California, United States. I would like to meet someone who smiles and enjoys life and likes to travel and loves pets. It would be good if he enjoys romance and is attractive as well. Chemistry is a must for me
I am energetic and enjoy learning about many things. I love science, politics, photography, animals .and music. I care deeply about the environment and about people less fortunate than myself.
I live in Palomar Park, CA (aka Redwood City) and Koloa, Kauai . I spend more time in Redwood City but that may change now that my dog can go to Hawaii with me.
My belief when parenting is "Prepare the child for the path, not the path for the child." I hope that it's helped me to raise 2 independent, wise and strong girls. They are on their own now and I'm very proud of them.
I love to travel while photographing wildlife. I will be going to Rwanda in Oct, 2012 and Brazil in Sept 2013. My passport could always use more stamps.
Meet a woman from California, United States. I have a relatively independent life style but I am ready for friendships and laughter. Although I have never married, I was in a committed relationship for 25 years and have been "on my own" for a few years now. My humor can range from silly to dry. I pretty much say what I think (although never in a hurtful or unkind way).Friends and family - people - are important to me. In fact, I like my life. I have a great job, friends and family that I love. I enjoy spending time with people, but I need my "me" time, too.
I would love to meet someone with a great (and broad) sense of humor, who can laugh at himself and isn't afraid to show a silly side. Although shared interests are important, I think people should have individual interests, as well. Mutual interests would be admiring the beauty of nature, road trips, trying new ethnic restaurants. I am usually up for just about anything and my tastes are pretty eclectic. Someone to share performing arts (plays, musicals, concerts, opera, symphony)... I just love to enjoy new experiences. Arrogant and shallow people are not my thing, so please be kind and thoughtful, love people and be open. I am left of center politically and if you support the Tea Party folks, we probably aren't a match.
Date a woman from Redwood City, United States. Sense of humor and some degree of intelligence a must. Likes animals quite important ( I have cats and llamas....). If you are interesting too, you get bonus points (and if you like sweets you are a winner).
I am a medical professional ready to retire and enjoy life. Love to travel or spend time at home. Sitting by a lake with a book is one of my favorites. As is hiking in a beautiful forest. Also enjoy sitting and doing absolutely nothing.
Meet someone special from California, United States. I am just a regular person with no hidden agendas. I am honest to a fault and would like the same in my partner. I would love to meet someone to hold dear to my heart and be my best friend too. While I am responsible and hard working I love to be silly and have fun. I really need to be with someone with a great sense of humor, who laughs at my jokes and can just goof around when it's appropriate. I work hard at staying fit and healthy so couch potatoes don't work for me. By that I mean exercise and heathly food (most of the time) is what I like. I believe good communication is the key to a healthy & long lasting relationship. We don't have to have all the same interests or be glued at the hip but having some things in common is important.
I hope to meet you soon.
Date a soulmate from California, United States. About myself I can say honest, reliable, caring, quiet, romantic. I love the comfort, cleanliness, my every thing has its place. I am conservative, I like quiet conversation, but more listening than talking. Up to 32 years of playing basketball, is now 3 - 4 times a week walking, jogging or jumping rope. I visited Estonia, Lithuania, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Turkey, Canada. It was in the museums and theaters in Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, Berlin, Budapest, Potsdam, Krakow, Warsaw and others. I enjoyed the mountains of the Crimea, the Caucasus, the Urals and the Carpathians, the Alps and the Sierra Nevada. I love to garden, grow vegetables and flowers. Doing needlework. I like to be the water, watching on the fire. I meet the sun with a cup of coffee and my cat. I love sweets, delicious ice cream, a glass of good white wine. I prefer to fish dishes, seafood, chicken and vegetables. For me the important person's appearance, its cleanliness and neatness. I want to meet an honest, reliable, intelligent man, and build trust with them, friendly, affectionate relationship, which will be based on love and mutual respect.
Meet a woman from California, United States. I'm a hard-working, rather quiet and scholarly person with a terrific sense of humor and a great love of beauty and the Arts. My (Christian) values are important to me, and I try to practice them in my daily life through being generous, patient, thoughtful, honest, and loving.
My life has been very up-and-down since the death of my husband, and I would like some stability. Two incomes, even if they're modest, go a lot farther than one in the Bay Area, and I'm very tired of moving around and being lonely.
The Bay Area is such a wonderfully rich place in the Arts, top-flight performances, scenery, and events that it's a shame to just let them pass by. It's even a shame to let this wonderful weather pass by without even just getting out for a walk.!
I would like someone to share them with and to make a home with.
I might add that I have traveled extensively, particularly in Europe; I have several college degrees; and I've made, enjoyed, and lost fortunes both with the loss of my husband and the dot-com blow-up. I was raised a very poor kid, however, and love to reminisce about badland ranching as much as seeing my first Rembrandt.
If any of that is a deal-breaker, I'm sorry; but I'm pretty easy to please and pretty easy-going in general. (Slow-to-anger, and all that.) I'm VERY faithful and have never broken anybody's heart, so far as I know. My relationships last a long, long time. I miss having one not just to enjoy the many delights of the Bay Area, but also for the quiet daily things one shares about their day, their worries, and their little triumphs. Maybe I could share yours.
Date someone special from United States. I am close to be retired, 2 years maybe, I like to do simple sings and enjoy those moment, I would like to have an honest man to share good and bad moments in life, I like to travel. But a little walk in happiness conversation will be great. I like to drive, but I like better somebody to ride me around. I love the Ocean, and all the activities you can do there. I know how to swim, but I prefer to play with the waves. I like to watch movies frequently at home. A little child make to smile, I laugh with a good joke. I want a person to be there for me, I will be there for him also.
Meet a soulmate from United States. Looking for a friend to spend some time with, preferably one who speaks Russian, or doesn't mind that my English skills are not so great! I would love to meet someone who is interested in getting to know each other and going out for dinner or long walks. I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren and watching them grow.
Date a woman from United States. I'm looking for Mr. right-for-me. That one special guy who is genuine, honest, kind and caring, funny, thoughtful, loving, and a gentleman in a subtle, natural way. Trust is every bit as important as chemistry and compatibility. Someone who is grown up, responsible, dependable, and can deal with life's blows while maintaining a positive attitude through it all. Someone "with" character rather than "a" character. Someone strong, independent, confident, accomplished, and intelligent. Chemistry will tell us if the match has a chance. Getting to know each other will confirm the obvious.
I believe I am the type of person I mentioned above. I am solid and of good character. No drama, no games. I'm grateful for good genes and good health, and I take care of myself. I like to smile and laugh and experience life with those I care about. I enjoy many activities--the activities are not as important as the one with whom I share them. I love to just drive, explore new areas, the mountains, the seashore, or anything in between. Near or far, one day, a weekend, a week or more, just sharing the experience and enjoying each other's company. I would like to try new adventures and challenges, but also am content with the basics: music, wine tasting, the theater, movies, baseball and other sporting events, dining out, eating in, cooking together, or reading quietly. It really doesn't matter. I want to do it all with that special person. Let me know if you think youРІР‚в„ўre the one.
. 10 months each year I’m a regular person. I wake up to NPR, work 8 intense, but satisfying hours and squeeze as much pleasure as possible into the weekends. But when June hits, I throw the clock away and leap into a guilt-free, open-ended life-style that lasts 10 weeks. How can I be so lucky? I’m a teacher. And just now I am celebrating my 3 favorite things about teaching?—June, July and August. You will find me setting flowers and candles on the table, living off produce from the Farmer’s Market and (soon) my garden, making dinner for friends, taking all-day hikes into the foothills and receiving out-of-state friends, my favorite excuse for adventuring into California. Even house projects are a delight. Today I finally hemmed those new curtains for my daughter’s bedroom. After 2 years at CAL (Go Bears!), I am getting the idea that she really is not coming back here to live. What a thrill to morph her space into something new. Oh, and taking my chances with online dating. (Who has time for this exhaustive process?) Wanna play? Who knows. Perhaps the gods will smile upon us and we will grow very old together.
. I'm a little shy at first. When I start to feel comfortable with you I will keep you laughing. I am a one man's woman. I very loyal, trusting and honest. I like to dance(I'm really not that great of a dancer I just shake what the good Lord gave me) I like the movies,dinner, traveling and just staying home and cooking a great dinner for my man. My ideal match should be open honest and respectful. Great sense of humor,live in the moment and walk in the light of life.
. Dancing is a huge part of my life (I'm addicted to it like a gambler is addicted to playing cards)...
Be it waltz, salsa, bachatta, bollero, or any type of ballroom dance, I enjoy them all and am looking for someone to share that with...
I am active, but also enjoy quiet times to balance the time spent out and about. When the running around gets to be a bit much, I like to chill out in nature or just relax at home.
I enjoy the arts and museum hopping. Family time is important, and I usually take at least one trip a year with my sisters. I love traveling and exploring, be it local trails or trips to other countries. I used to ride a motorcycle on day trips, and wouldn't mind getting back into that...
Ultimately I'm looking for a companion who has similar interests, as well as someone who would introduce me to new things that he enjoys.
I'm looking for someone who's self-sufficient, funny but capable of being serious, spiritual (think crystals over rosaries), and sensitive.
I feel blessed and grateful for the opportunities life has presented me with so far, and look forward to the continuing journey...
