Date men and women from United States / California / San Francisco, 56 year old - page 5

Date men and women from California, United States. Wow, okay...I am looking for someone who is ready to write the last chapter of their romantic/
companionship story. Because I am. I seem to be looking for someone to enrich the coming years.
A true friend, lover and partner in living. I like having another independent spirit in my life...
someone who has things that are all theirs, yet looking for someone to also have shared
experiences. I'm not an attach at the hip kind of relationship person. I like separate time
as well as together time. I've always had a rich internal life and love my own company
and need time and space for that. But I am looking forward to sharing a future with someone.
I wonder if you're that person?
So you know, mutual attraction and commonality are a must. If you contact me and you don't hear
back from me it is because those 2 major things are not met in reading your profile and seeing
your pix. I am a very sensual person and want to feel the intoxication of a man with whom I
share a deep attraction on all levels.
A little bit about me; I feel like I'm a "success" in many ways: emotionally evolved, career that is satisfying,
home owner, having many enduring friendships, good habits, great relationship with myself,
awesome dog mom, intellectual curiosity, mindful of the planet, great with people of all types and financially
secure (not rich, but good with money). I'd like to meet my match in all of those areas
I do like hair (or completely bald)....so I will not be attracted to someone who is balding. I like smart and need
to be stimulated intellectually and emotionally. Stoics often attract me at first, then wind up boring me. So better
to not even start out knowing that inevitability Creative types have always drawn me. Creativity comes in many
forms; great ideas, art making in visual and aural ways, creative living, great parenting, inspiring work, etc.
I seem to have a low tolerance for people with any substance abuse and addiction....fine for them,
but don't want them in my life.
Too much darkness is a turn off. I am by nature an optimist. Sometimes serious, but have a positive outlook
and laugh easily. I really want someone you can laugh easily and readily, yet is thoughtful and contemplative.
I am only interested in Men from the Bay Area, so if you don't live here please do not contact me. Thanks.
I want to be efficient with this process and beg you to read my profile before you contact me.
I've been contacted in the past by men who are clearly not a right fit in a variety of ways...just
seeing my picture and not reading my tastes, physical needs, political and cultural leanings.
Let's save ourselves time and find just the right fit! That's why we're all here, right?
I may at first impression seem like an extrovert, but the truth is I'm an introvert and
need someone who is capable and desiring of carrying on conversation without the expectation
that I will always lead.
One other thing.....if you know your Myers Briggs please tell me if you write me. I am an INFJ
and I've found I NEED another N (intuitive).
I love home and the outdoors and like a good mix of both. No total couch potatoes, please!
If you like what you see and read I look forward to hearing from you.
One footnote, I enjoy an electronic (no smoke, smell, tar or ash) cigarette every now and again.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Many different Animals and people from all walks of life makes me smile. My friends describe me as a encourager who is honest and trustworthy. I am a faithful devout Catholic Christian which is why I am grateful to be alive. A man who respects me always and keeps his spoken promises really makes me fall in love as sometimes make me laugh who is a loyal friend first and has a good heart with wonderful standard with himself is what attracts me. I am looking for those butterflies after a 19 years relationsip with my ex-husband who left me.

It has been five years I haven't been with a man and I miss that certain someone out there who will understand my longings to start all over since it has been so long being without a man's touch like sweet hugs and little kisses holding my hand and sqeezing it pulling me close to his heart surprizing me doing things together after we have known each other first sharing our thoughts and emotions past present and future hopes and dreams together. No sex before marriage. Period. I am a devout Catholic and I require this honesty and trustworthy good kind romantic caring man to be loyal.

Date a woman from California, United States. My friends characterize me as outgoing, warm and friendly, as well as an intellectual who loves to discuss foreign affairs, world events and science. They would also describe me as adventurous - even daring - in my travels and work, and passionate about exploring and seeing new places. I've had different careers - university researcher and lecturer in geographic studies and natural resource management, director of a regional mentoring program, and currently as a project manager with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
I feel very strongly about service to our country, and volunteered to work in one of our Veteran's hospitals in the brain and spinal cord injury ward. I also recently had the opportunity to serve a year in Afghanistan as a program manager with the Army Corps building up Afghan capabilities to take over our mission.
I also believe strongly in family, having been married and raised 3 sons who are now grown and living on their own. I am very close with my children, as well as siblings, cousins and other close relations. Although not overtly religious, I was raised in the Jewish faith and have maintained a deep faith in God. I appreciate a person, regardless of religious upbringing, who also shares a belief in the importance of family and faith. While I believe in God and country, I also believe strongly in social justice and am open-minded; I believe every person should be free to choose the life they'd like to lead.
There is also a light and playful side to me; I love to have dinner with friends, go salsa dancing, take walks, and go to baseball games (as well as football, soccer, and basketball). I enjoy camping and roughing it, but also love a good hotel, fine dining, art museums and concerts.
I would love to meet a man who is considerate and kind and enjoys living life, dining out or socializing with friends, but also is adventurous and likes to travel. I appreciate a strong, assertive man who is well educated and has worked hard in his profession to achieve a position of leadership or some measure of success and accomplishment.
I would like to find someone who would appreciate sharing interests and enjoy getting to know one another, possibly developing into a close relationship.

Meet men and women from United States. I am outgoing and friendly. I laugh a lot. I love going out, but I am also a very hard worker. I run my own business and I work perhaps a little too much.
I enjoy all sports on the water including kayaking, sailing and swimming. I grew up with a house on the beach. In the winter I love to ski. I play golf a little bit and I am told I have good potential.
I love all types of cooking and thoroughly enjoy eating out.
It would be nice if my match enjoyed the same sports and interests. I would like to be with a man that loves their work and is constantly challenged by it.

Date someone special from United States. I have a good sense of humor and am thoughtful, down to earth, honest, open and a good friend. I’m energetic and active and have a busy job, but love down time. I am close to my children and love to cook and entertain friends for dinner. Other things that make me happy are farmer’s markets and flea markets, good movies, time to read, exploring new places, warm climates, and being on vacation. I have three children - two in college and one out of school and living on her own – and two mellow dogs.
I grew up in Miami, went to college and business school in New England and studied abroad. I have worked in sports management, did computer and financial consulting to nonprofits and small businesses, was a full time mom for ten years, and now work full-time for a nonprofit organization.
I'm looking to spend time and develop a relationship with someone who is kind, thoughtful, and curious, shares some of my interests, and has a good sense of humor...of course smart, responsible and stable would be good too:) I would like to share new experiences, and ideally, I'd like someone who is also interested in sharing the day to day.

Meet a woman from United States. People tell me that I am fun. I have a good sense of humor. I almost always have a good time no matter what I do. I love to laugh and can get silly in the right company.
However, I have a serious side, too. While I am adventurous and a risk taker, I am a professional woman who takes responsibility seriously. I have lived a life that reflects this dual nature of my personality: My first career was glamorous and took me abroad. My second career is more conventional and keeps me in the states.
I have never been married, but I have had long-term relationships and live in ones as well. I like affectionate men and am a sucker for romance—flowers, cards, a spontaneous invitation to join him for a walk or a bite to eat, an e-mail or call just to say hello. I like good conversation, weekends in a cabin on the coast, a trip to the mountains to ski, a home cooked dinner. I enjoy theatre (thought "Wicked" was a hoot), and the ballet and opera a couple times a season. I am interested in other cultures and would like to live or spend time in another country.
I like people who tell the truth, even if it is not in their best interests. I am confident, smart, and outspoken. I am drawn to men who are as well. I donate a considerable amount of time to others who cannot afford to pay for my legal services.
I am looking for a man who is both fun-loving and responsible. Someone who is honest with himself and others, educated, has a good heart (even if it is hard to get to it), has an outgoing personality, and is financially stable. I would prefer a man who can communicate what he likes and dislikes. I don't like to guess.
I am not intereted in a relationship with a man who has never been married, engaged. or lived with a woman. While I have no agenda, my match dating has taught me that people who live alone all their adult lives do so for a reason.

Date people from United States. Actually, I only aspire to have an elephant. My motto is "never enough animals", however I only have two dogs and a beta fish. I like people too...in fact, I'm an extrovert who gains energy and vitality from conversation, and the chance to spark off of other people's ideas.
Laughter and hearty conversation with good friends feeds my soul. I'm driven by my curiosity about people and passionate about my connection to the earth. Truth and beauty matter to me. How I experience them is eclectic:put me in a tent under the stars or in the medieval section of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I have been dazzled watching the Marfa Mystery Lights or walking among the shrines in Katmandu. But I feel most at home when I am on or in the ocean. Swimming with dolphins in the wild has taught me about the lightness of being and the importance of joy.(If we meet, I will tell you about the other sea mammals I have swum with, and hope to engage with in the future.)
I love all kinds of music and the visual arts. Film is my favorite medium, and I have made some short documentaries and written a screenplay. (This is not my day job, though I would love for it to be.) Lately I'm taking lots of photographs that focus on the juxtaposition of nature and industry.
The arts are a window into my soul, and soul work is another passion of mine. I value spiritual complexity and exploration. But in everything I do, whatever it is, I look for humor and grace.
So, who am I looking for?
He loves animals and the arts, has a spirit of adventure, and values nuance and paradox. He is not rigid, and is deeply spiritual. He loves to laugh, read, think, exchange ideas, travel- and has a goofy and audacious side. He is whimsical, but can also be serious. He cares about the environment, and might hope to some day be "off the grid".
Given the right circumstances, he would commit to the whole elephant.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I guess I don't want to write much because I see meeting and getting to know each other as one of the best parts of first dates.
But that said, you must know I love to dance, go to theater, movies, read and rest. I'm excited about the future because I have a past to build on. That awareness make a difference in everything I do.
On a given day I might be found equally in a library or in a bar playing pool. I love music and wish I knew it better. I find most people interesting, but tend to only be very close to a few.
I've had opportunities to travel a fair amount and hope in my next travel adventures move beyond seeing famous places and become more about pushing myself physically and spiritually.
I hope to meet someone who will inspire me wants to give attention to serious play!! Looking forward to meeting you.

Meet someone special from San Francisco, United States. I spent my childhood in the South and in Scotland, got my college degree in England, and have been fortunate enough to travel extensively. I spent 13 years in New York City. My sense of humor tends to the dry side, with an appreciation of the inherent absurdities of life. I tend to get along with people who laugh easily and often. I collect trivia effortlessly and randomly and ocasionally have to stifle myself. I am interested in finding someone who is smart, has a good sense of humor and an genuine appreciation of life; someone who is optimistic (but understands a more fatalistic point of view). I tend to get along with many different types of people, but I am looking for someone who shares similar interests: books, movies, travel--- as I find conversation as important as anything else. How about an egghead with a sense of humor? As long as the chemistry is there, sounds good to me....
My 15 year old daughter is very important to me.
