Date men and women from United States / California / Saint Helena, 40 year old

Date a man from Saint Helena, United States. I've hit a point in my life where the journey is great, but would definitely be deeper and more meaningful with an interesting soul to travel with. I like to be out experiencing life, doing something but a quiet night in can be just as appealing. My activities tend towards the thrill seeking end of life (I love to ride motorcycles) but also towards the intellectual (I have a degree in anthropology). Professionally, I am a chef and find a great deal of satisfaction in my work. My passion for cooking truly reaches my soul and it is definitely a joy to create something which fills such a basic human need. I am currently working on my own restaurant and we're scheduled to open this spring! As for my personality, I am fairly laid back and don't get worked up over little things. If someone behind you at a stoplight is honking, chances are it's not me. I want someone who is their own person - confident in their beliefs and ideas, but not afraid to see the others point of view. I'm looking for someone who isn't afraid of what the furure holds, someone who will try something new just because they haven't done it. I am looking for someone to share with. Whether it's a stupid joke at three in the morning or an intimate talk about our greatest fears and insecurities. Relationships are built on a foundation of trust and can be extremely fragile at times. I am looking for someone who isn't afraid to show their weaknesses. Only by sharing our shortcomings can we hope to strengthen them. I want to enjoy each moment we share, but also realize that time apart can be just as beneficial. Also, please don't be afraid to laugh. At yourself, at me, at the weird guy on the train. Life is too short to take everything too seriously.
