Date someone special from San Francisco, United States. Strange how online dating has become so commonplace. Well here I go. It all started back on a small ranch 37 years ago.....Only kidding. I'll save that for the in person meet if you're so lucky. :) Overall I consider myself to be a pretty easy going person. I love to travel and have been fortunate enough to have visited most continents. I like to be open to ALMOST anything as I think you learn so much about yourself that way. I have grown up playing sports, but my passion right now is my dance class, a must to the end of my workday. I'm looking for a friend, a companion and more. Being an only child, my friends are sooo important to me and are I really consider them to be my family along with my parents of course. I'm not a fan of playing games unless it involves a prize of course. The Bay Area stole me from So. Cal about ten years ago where my family still is, but the Lakers still have my undying support. I am not an LA hater by any means, but how could you not love San Francisco?? Aside from the Lakers, I will watch the occasional football and baseball game, but you won't find me plopped on the couch for six straight hours watching ESPN highlights over and over again. It's so much better in person anyways, beer, hotdogs, people watching...I think most things are better, even online dating. Chemistry is so important and if you've read this far, say Hi and maybe we'll meet up sooner rather than later. Life's too short not to have a good time and share it with that one special person.
Meet a soulmate from San Francisco, United States. On the Meyers Briggs I'm supposedly an INFJ, but the "Introvert" aspect can also be extroverted. Maybe I'm just versatile:)?
I spend a lot of time thinking about how to grow and express my strengths in the most profound and effective ways; how to best support the people in my life; how to stay honest and true to myself and others 100% of the time; how to plan for the future and invest in myself and in relationships; how to actualize freedom and be truth.
I work as a social worker facilitating groups and stabilizing vulnerable folks (yes, there are palpable difference between social workers, clinical psychologists, counselors, coaches and therapists- in both orientation and tasks).
Believe it or not Ripley, it is possible to do the justice work I do, without psychoanalyzing those closest to me, and maintain an artistic balance.I also prioritize Buddhist practice and principles in my life and am studying the psychology of spirit.
I'm really good at: Being tender, Backpacking, Conversing, Dancing, Inspiring , Cooking, Appreciating art, Writing, Interpreting California Natural History, Brainstorming, Laughing, problem solving, Exploring, Erupting, Nurturing, "Aikido-ing", Being loyal, Giving feedback, Receiving feedback, Growing, Teaching and Resonating.
A "Pursuer" "Distancer" cycle in relationships is very uncomfortable for me. Conversely, warmth, directness, authenticity, confidence, non-reactivity, passion, groundedness, connectivity and transparency are qualities that I find attractive.
Date a woman from San Francisco, United States. high energy motorsports maven on a solar mission, gadget girl, social connector, foodie, traveler, hedonist, adventurer, optimist, ESTP, sinophile, southern belle, gearhead, workaholic, sensation seeker, and owner of an exuberant black dog.
i'm really good at making friends, exploring places, connecting people, telling stories, finding adventure (and sometimes, trouble).
when asked how i know someone, the story and connections typically go back several cities/countries/jobs/schools and layers. i talk to strangers and make new friends easily.
it's been a while since i've dated anyone seriously, partly due to living in 7 cities in 2 countries in the last 8 years --- and partly due to being pre-occupied with my career. i've got a fantastic life, and am now looking for someone to enjoy (and add to) my adventures. i still work damn hard though, so you'll have to be patient with that...and lure me out of the office ;)
you're confident and comfortable with the choices that have made you who you are. you have your life together, but still love the allure of running away, getting lost, and getting in trouble.
there's a bit of bad boy in you. i fall for strong, interesting, charismatic men. especially if you have green or blue eyes...is it too much to ask for someone who was a hell raiser/rebellion starter/rabble-rouser/agitator/instigator/truant/d
elinquent in their past and has found a way to capture that magical energy and use it for "good" in your life? most folks in my peer group have been on a predictable prescribed path --- i'm just as successful, but have many more ridiculous stories to tell --- i still get into a fair bit of mischief, but have the charm to (usually) talk my way out of it
you're not intimidated by a girl who...
has a (small) fleet of cool vehicles (auto/moto) and knows her way around them
travels a lot, for business, for fun, and sometimes alone
is over-educated (MBA)
has her own set of activities and friends (to share)
is full of experiences and stories to tell
has lived lots of places and may not be 100% ready to settle down, yet. (though i must admit that i'm a really big fan of SF!)

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Taiwanese-American currently living and working in SF. Born in the deep South and grew up in an outer borough of NYC.
Enjoy: spending time feeling life in different cultures and environments; food/wine/cooking (hoping to learn more!); the urban outdoors; live music/concerts, finding new artists/bands; museums and galleries (more on the modern side); reading and writing. Started playing around with painting abstracts recently.
More of a city girl at heart but definitely appreciate the beauty and awe of nature in the Bay Area as well as on travels - last year's excursions Vancouver Island, Whistler, Singapore, Costa Rica.
Work: consultant at boutique specializing in biotech/pharma. Enjoy my career very much most of the time - high level of problem solving, thinking, coaching, and learning.
Grateful for a relatively small set of close friends and family, but enjoy mixing with larger groups and meeting new interesting people as well.
Appreciate in people: passion and ambition balanced by pragmatism; individuality and perhaps a slightly anti-conformist/non-traditional bent; open-mindedness and willingness to listen and change one's mind if persuaded; patience and compassion; a free spirit.
