Date women from United States / California / San Francisco, 47 year old - page 2

Date a woman from United States. As for me, it's simple...
My friends would describe me as fun, spontaneous and playful yet thoughtful and considerate. I have a great sense of humor and love to laugh. Outgoing and social, I also enjoy curling up by the fire with a good book. Blessed with an abundance of energy, I am fit and athletic. I enjoy fine restaurants as well as quiet candlelight dinners at home with the right person. Yes, I am a hopeless romantic. Smart and driven, I am committed to listening to my heart. I enjoy the arts and consider myself somewhat artistically inclined yet grounded. Someday, I will learn how to paint. I am a spiritual person who is somewhat skeptical of dogma. Honest yet mysterious. Good natured yet sometimes impatient. Confident in my abilities, I always try to better myself. The adventurous type, I love to travel and explore new countries, new people, new foods, new cultures, new experiences. I enjoy black ties yet seek the tranquility of a beach sunset or an early powder day ski run. I am happy and optimistic yet worry about world peace. I am an independent person who is seeking a friend, my soulmate and a real relationship where mutual chemistry, mutual respect, open communication, and a zest for life keep the flame alive. Never thought I would try match.com. This will be fun an interesting.
I grew up on the East coast, having spent my formative years in Atlanta, Georgia where I learned the value of warm hospitality and manners. My parents are not from the south which probably explains why I don't have a southern accent After college, I worked in Manhattan prior to attending business school in Boston. Drawn to the west coast after an internship in the Bay area, I moved to San Francisco in the early 1990s. Loved living by the water in a cosmopolitan city. Moved to Denver in 1997 to pursue an entrepreneurial dream. Recently relocated back to the west coast.
Have traveled to Moscow, Leningrad, Paris, London, Frankfurt, Geneva, Milan, Rome, Athens, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Singapore, the Caribbean, Mexico and Hawaii. Want to learn how to scuba dive, sail as well as experience an African safari.
Thankfully, I am at the point where I know what I want. I am looking for an equally positive, confident, honest, fun, dynamic, charming, witty, sexy, romantic, and accomplished person who makes me laugh, treats me like a lady, and is interested in enjoying life and all that it offers.

Meet someone special from United States. I am a high-energy, passionate person who is blessed with wonderful family, friends and colleagues. I love my life and make it as full and meaningful as possible every day. Those who are in my life describe me as strong, confident, generous, smart, loving, witty/great sense of humor, compassionate, dynamic, sexy, a leader, straight forward, open, fun, upbeat, magnetic and a fiercely loyal friend. I am fortunate to be able to fill my days giving back, by taking on many leadership positions in the Bay Area community.
I look forward to filling this next chapter of my life with adventure and trying new things.
I am looking for someone who wants to play and who is considerate, sensitive & tender, reliable, emotionally intelligent, fun, positive and a good friend. Not looking for a serious relationship quite yet...but also understand sometimes people/things are put in your path for reasons and you must be open to it!

Date a soulmate from United States. As I stated, I am a balance of opposite, I suppose - I am a bit of an introvert and yet for work I often present to audiences of 150-200 people. I am fairly graceful generally, yet a have days where I have issues with gravity (I drop things, bump in to doors, and stumble). I am at the core a city person, yet really love to be at or in the ocean and in the quiet of nature. I am responsive and at times reserved (residue of being a shy child). I am quietly ambitious and a dreamer, yet also a realist.
I appreciate balance, grey areas, continuum, constant learning, and change. I like questions as much as answers. I can leap tall buildings in a single bound for things and people I believe in. I am an astute observer (also residue of being a shy person) and have pretty good luck trusting my intuition. We will see where this takes me this time.
I just got home from a very intense trip for work in China (working as a teacher trainer on a project to implement inquirycritical thinking learning practices in schools in Chengdu) so I am practicing the art of not working as hard as I normally do during the school year. I am enjoying time with my amazing daughter (my most informative teacher) who is home from college for the summer. I am trying to build up my stamina in my running again, after not running for a few months. I am hacking away at my overgrown yard (also neglected for a few months). I am planning which work project to take on next. I am writing. I am laughing more, I am dancing even when alone, I am smiling (working less has that effect on me - even though I love my work).
I am fairly good at making a meal out of very little, making a meal out of great ingredients, processing, doing too much, listening, teaching, jumping off cliffs (when the occasion arises).
I think a lot about thinking, what causes one to participate and show up in life, good food, the rights of children and responsibility of adults to guide and protect them (I have been an educator for 27 years), and flying (I wish that I could). I am passionate about learning, about revision, about creativity.
I laugh at the dorkiest things and during the summer I smile more (even when alone). I have the ability to find beauty almost everywhere.
I live in San Francisco and love it! So much great food, art openings, walks to Ocean Beach with my dog, visiting friends, cooking a nice meal for friendsfamily, working late sometimes, blasting music and dancing around the house with my daughter.
Life is pretty good and I am grateful for my family, friends, good food, my dog, my work, and popcorn.
Learning to put myself out there. Not sure what I am looking for, other than meeting like minded kind hearted people or person.

Meet a woman from San Francisco, United States. It is interesting to go to match at this time in my life. I would consider myself a risk taker and ready for anything that life throws my way. My friends would say I am free spirited, a hard worker and a woman who embraces life. My outlook has always been a person that looks at the big picture as the glass is half full. Empty isn't an option. I am looking for someone with those same ideals. I have a great career that I love, a city that I have always dreamed of settling down in and lots of family and friends to support me.
I am looking for a man that has manners and was raised right! You know who you are! What makes me smile is a man who is humanistic and wants to make the most of life- to embrace the possibilities that are ahead.
Everyday I am grateful for many things (my doggie, music, home, career, family and friends and I realize that I am just missing that one piece... a meaningful relationship.
I am seeking a long term relationship and am ready to share my life with a man that will appreciate each other! I'm looking for a man who we can have each others backs in moving forward through the ups and downs that life and who appreciates a woman who will be there. I'm looking for a partner in crime- ready to travel (passport is ready) and take adventures together.
I am passionate about enjoying life- dancing, smiling, being spontaneous. My little dog, Lola and I are waiting to hear from you!
Thanks for reading-Lisa

Date someone special from San Francisco, United States. My friends would describe me as loyal, caring and fun to be around. I like to laugh and tend to have a more sarcastic sense of humor. I love to travel and have been fortunate enough to see some of Europe through work and have the bug to see more and meet more people around the world.
I'm looking for someone who is open minded and enjoys trying new things.

Meet a soulmate from San Francisco, United States. I'm a fearless woman, not too afraid to put myself out there...after all I've ventured into this, right? Would really prefer to have an in person dialogue...but until then...
I believe I exude good energy, having learned a lot from life's lessons and continually working to foster a fairly healthy relationship with myself. I'm comfortable in my own skin, accepting of others, and very open minded. I'm told I either have a wide-eyed look on my face or an impish grin, both of which usually elicits a half smiling "What?" from others. But it's just me...observing and taking it all in. I guess I'm just naturally curious, and strive to remain teachable.
I'm an empty nester with a son who recently turned 19 and is starting his second year of university. Raising him is the one thing of which I'm most proud. He's an incredible person in his own right, and possesses so many amazing qualities. Having no other blood ties close by, we've nurtured a tight knit community of unique individuals that we call family - all of whom will continuously play integral roles in our lives. After all, it does take a village.
I can't really be placed in a tidy box: I'm outgoing and social, yet introspective and bask in my solitude. I love to hike in the most remote jungles, yet can navigate through any urban setting. I can get down and dirty, but clean up fairly well. I'm as comfortable in fatigues and flip flops as I am in a pencil skirt and stilettos. I can sit with a CEO in any board room, and turn around to share a meal with the people who clean the very same building that CEO owns. You get the picture, yes?
I've grown up in America and abroad. It's important that I always remember from where I came, as well as those who supported me through all the hiccups (and love me nevertheless).
I have a hearty laugh and never stifle it.
It doesn't take much to make me smile.
I'm pleased when I can be at opposite ends of the same room with my someone, doing our own thing - together yet separate...secure in our partnership while being able to celebrate and support the unique individuals we are.
It's cozy knowing that we don't always have to fill the space between us with words....not all communication has to be verbal..and sometimes THAT'S the sexiest!
I'm mindful about walking the talk, and walking the walk.
Most charming word anyone can say to me: "Stay..."
As to what is "ideal": you being you, understanding yourself, and liking who you are...being kind, compassionate, honest, natural, real...the ability to have fun since this is, after all, another adventure in life.

Date a woman from California, United States. I am a warm, sweet,funny and active Asian lady looking for THE GUY who will rock my world. I would like to meet someone relaxed and confident about who they are. Someone who is willing to look inside at the real person. Basically, I am looking for someone who is willing to go with the flow and see what happens. Always looking to learn something new.What I am honestly looking for is someone who has a good head on their shoulders and a good kind heart. Someone is down right fun and young at heart but a old soul at times too. Someone who can be honest about their feelings and comfortable sharing. I tend to have a, "You can tell me anything" effect on guys. Leaving most men feeling comfortable and relaxed. Sometimes even falling asleep..Only Joking!
You are honest and sensitive (When necessary) and pretty clear about your feelings and you know or are making an honest effort to learn to verbally communicate them. Growing together is a very awesome experience.
I am fun loving and have a great sense of humor.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I enjoy simple things in life...walking in the woods, movies, time with good friends and family, eating and cooking good food, and relaxing at home.
My standard in life is high, spiritually, not materialistically. I value quality in general, not quantity. I am looking for someone real, not a pretender, someone who has similar interests and values. It would be a plus if you are family-oriented.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Originally from the East Coast, I moved to San Francisco 20 years ago and am very glad to call it my home. I love the active lifestyle that the City makes easy. Hiking with my two sweet dogs, working out and tennis are my passions. I have been blessed with interesting and supportive friends. I like catching up over dinner and seeing the latest movies with them. My career in law gives me stability and satisfies my intellectual curiosity.
Three years ago, just after his birth, I adopted my son. My friends call me courageous for doing this as a single parent. Sometimes when it is tough I think the more accurate word is “crazy,” but I believe taking risks for matters of the heart is essential. It was the best decision I have ever made. He is the most amazing boy, with a big smile and personality.
I am looking for my guy. I want all of those old-fashioned things; friendship, fun and love. I need a smart, stable, warm, friendly and funny man. I admire a man who loves what he does and is good at it. While another parent of young children may be the most compatible match for me, I am open to dating a man with older or no children. What is important is that he love children and be patient and flexible.

. Me: I'm a city girl at heart. Sure, I love hiking as much as every other person here, but I also love coming home to a hot shower. I pay attention to what's going on in the world, but try not to take it too seriously. Thankfully we have The Daily Show, Colbert Report and Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me to help with that!
On a more serious note... I am a true and loyal friend and treasure my friendships. I've had a great career but I also value work-life balance and giving back. I am a pretty independent person, but would love a partner to enjoy, share and discover with.
You: You are smart, confident, and kind. Regardless of where you're from, you have that "edge" that is so hard to define but you know it when you see it. You are well-educated, well-read, and in conversation you're both interested and interesting. You know stuff that I don't. You are ready for a real relationship. And while you don't have to love poker, Springsteen or the Yankees, you can at least tolerate my love for them. :)
Us: We are best friends and loyal supportive partners. We have common interests but still do things independently. We inspire each other. Together we somehow add up to more than the sum of the individuals. We hold hands. We laugh our heads off.
Still reading? Interested? If so, drop me a note. Like a real one, with sentences that you write. (In other words- I'm not a fan of winks and probably won't respond.).

. I am an easy going and fun to be with. I just want to meet someone nice to share our common interest together.
I love outdoor activities like hiking and running. Spending time in the park with some wine will make me smile.

. We're complex people. We see the surface, we see what lies beneath, we know that both aspects matter. We know when to talk (and we choose our words wisely), and when to stay quiet. There's usually a small smile lurking on our faces, because we're also happy as a rule. We can be silly, impulsive, ridiculous. Sometimes we'll dance in the kitchen. Sometimes we'll stay in bed till noon. But we also know that it takes more than our great chemistry to keep us together.
It's important to me to be with someone who is smart, well-read, sophisticated, and worldly, but who knows that intellect and interesting experiences are no substitute for kindness and awareness. As humans we tend to judge each other. I'd like to find a partner who recognizes this tendency in himself and can let it go--again and again, as I strive to do.
Other than my day job, I am also an Iyengar yoga teacher, and am finishing my first novel. Writing and yoga go hand in hand for me: both require absolute honesty, the ability to see clearly and to cut through the superfluous. My ideal match would understand what this means, and appreciate it.
And--I am the mother of an amazing eleven month old boy my friends call The Buddha Baby. You have to see him to believe it.
I'd like to meet a man who is comfortable in his body, active in his mind, at ease in the world, and connected to the people he loves.
