Date someone special from San Francisco, United States. Very excited to be back in San Francisco for about a month now - found my apartment in the Marina area and love being near the water again. Have been in Louisville, KY helping my sisters take care of my mom for a bit, but I just needed to come back to my adopted home of San Francisco. My next adventure (although being here is an ongoing one) is to drive my car all by my lonesome across the country from Louisville back to here, slated for the end of July.....hmmmmm.... MINI-UPDATE: starting what I hope is my 4 day drive with my car on 7/24 - wish me luck!!
Having someone special though to simply enjoy life together, this fabulous city, and so much in California - what could be better? It is my hope to find that person as I think it is most important in life more than anything else - sharing a life.
I have a slight southern accent with my two children on their own (one on each coast - NYC and Seattle). Wish they were closer but they're both happy and doing well so for a mom (or dad) that will always suffice. Trying new things and having new experiences always appeals: The romantic, passionate side of me thinks it would be fun to learn to tango; for the adventurous side, a ride in a hot air balloon; and for the lover of wonders, I'll swim with dolphins one of these days. Even another trip to Florida to walk along with the peace of the breaking waves and to squish my toes in the sand is a thought that always makes me smile.
You would find me warm and affectionate, ready to travel a little and play a lot, an energetic, passionate woman about loving and life. If you are similiar, then I know we'd really enjoy each other and what the future may hold. We can have interests in common or ones that are diverse, either of which would help us to live life to the fullest. We're here such a short time really that we need to take adventage! A few other random thoughts coming to mind as I write this: staying in shape is important in several ways; anger is foreign to me, laughter is not; great kissing is ideal.
Life is short and we all need to love, smile, and just simply enjoy. Let's do it together...
Meet a woman from San Francisco, United States. I am an attractive, petite size 8 woman with a mischievous twinkle in my eye and good energy. Picture available upon request.
In many ways, I am an old-fashioned girl. who loves being feminine and likes a man to open doors. The most important quality in an individual to me is kindness. Honestly, I am a confident woman who lives life with a positive attitude and knows how to push forward even in hard times. I am never down for long. I love spontaneity, yet I am also a good planner and I carry most things out to completion.
I am also in total awe of the beauty I see everyday all around me: in people, in this incredibly spectacular earth we live on, in literature, in the creations of man and God --you get the idea. I tear-up at symphonies, waterfalls, sparkling star-filled nights, lovely kissing, and precious children.
I am a lady, brought up well and come from a happy childhood. I am a lovely hostess, cook, companion, and am well educated and a professional. I also love to draw and paint and be out in nature. I have been a good athlete and would like to take up golf or ?
In a relationship, I ask for mutual respect, kindness, and open communiction. I am interested in a man who is confident and at peace with himself and others and enjoys a social life. A man who reaches out to people, and lives his life with joy. I am not interested in being the boss, but being a asset and a soulmate to a lovely gentleman.
Date a soulmate from San Francisco, United States. If you're my guy, you are kind, compassionate, monogamous, and know how to treat a woman like a lady-- and you and I have terrific physical chemistry! I 'm slender, fit and work out with a personal trainer twice a week. My health and my body is important to me and, if you're my guy, you'll appreciate my body and take good care of yours. I am happy to be the age I am and don't need to be dishonest about it. (Yes, that is a very recent photo of me and no, it has not been digitally enhanced!) I ask the same of you.
I love to laugh and play around. If you do too, then we're off to a good start. I'm also a sucker for romantic adventures and love exploring – be it California or a foreign country. So what's your dream adventure? And what's your favorite joke? Live music, theater, good food and lively conversation, a great round of golf on a beautiful golf course -- all of these things make my life rich and full.
I work in Sacramento and spend most of my weekends and free time in San Francisco. Although I only work 3 1/2 days a week, I find my work very fulfilling and inspiring, and don't see retiring any time soon.
Family and friends mean a lot to me -- I still have friends from grade school! I also love to spend time with my beautiful independent 25-year-old daughter who lives in San Francisco. I'm looking for a guy who also values family and friends.
IРІР‚в„ўm interested in spirituality, meditation and matters of the heart. IРІР‚в„ўm philanthropically minded and support the arts and other meaningful causes. The guy who can win my heart has similar interests, enjoys meaningful conversation and choses to live a purposeful life, balancing his work with other interests.
Are you this guy? If so, I'd love to meet you.
Meet someone special from United States. I delight in new experiences, whether itРІР‚в„ўs hunting down a great Thai restaurant or discovering the best ice cream in the city; taking a salsa dance class; exploring the ruins at Ephesus; or snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef. I hope youРІР‚в„ўll join me on one of these adventures.
I love a good conversation. IРІР‚в„ўve been known to close down restaurants because I have been so engrossed in conversation with my dinner date.
I am genuinely curious about other people – what they think, what they do, how they view the world. I am interested in hearing about your interests – whether they are sports, music, history or photography. I look forward to expanding my world by sharing yours.
I love a good story – whether it is one you tell me, one I hear at a storytelling festival or one told in a book, movie or play.
I am the person that people call when they have a personal or professional dilemma. They know theyРІР‚в„ўll get my complete attention, an empathetic ear and encouraging advice (if that's what they want). People confide in me because they sense (correctly) that they can trust me. I have a warm smile and am generous with hugs.
I see humor in everyday things. If you have a quick wit, a clever turn of phrase, an ironic take on things, an interesting perspective or a bit of self-deprecating humor, youРІР‚в„ўll get my attention every time.
I have a happy life. IРІР‚в„ўm healthy. I live in a city I love. My work is fun and satisfying, and pays the bills. I am fortunate to have appreciative clients who often become my friends. I have kids who call regularly and visit occasionally. They keep me up-to-date on music, culture and technology (they've got their work cut out for them on the technology front!). My friends are loyal and interesting. I have enough free time to spend with friends and family and pursue my passions.
Finding a special man with whom to share the highlights of our days or to discuss the day's headlines, to snuggle on the couch with while reading the Sunday newspaper, to have an intimate meal with to celebrate a special occasion, or to explore a new neighborhood or a new city would move the meter from an “8” to a “10”

Meet a soulmate from United States. I'm looking for a man who is my own age or older, because he'll have life experiences that I'll appreciate. He might be a little rough around the edges, long in the tooth, bald, or at times a curmudgeon and will have accrued some bruises along the way. All those things make a man more interesting to me.
I am looking for a man who's going to make me laugh everyday, who likes to snuggle in bed and just sit on a couch talking and enjoying the smaller moments of a day. I'll make him laugh too, hold his hand when we're walking and enjoy listening to his view of the world. He doesn't have to be perfect—I'm not perfect---but we can be slightly imperfect together.
Mornings…
Chilly in San Francisco
And I linger in my warm bed
I finally get up and turn on the music in the kitchen
Dance by myself
Make hot oatmeal with almonds
Sweet spicy tea
Shower
Read some emails
Out the door
Off to a new and fun day
I am a professional artist, managing a print studio in the Mission District of San Francisco, I teach book arts and printmaking and I am an adjunct faculty member at De Anza Community College in Cupertino. I raised two good boys, one is a CPA and the other is a civil rights lawyer. My oldest son gave me an old Gibson acoustical guitar so I can learn to play. I make art when I can. I haven't had a television for many years. I enjoy practicing my Spanish with my coworkers. I am happy, grounded and love to laugh.
Date someone special from California, United States. I am affectionate, curious, a good listener, calm, intelligent, have a dry sense of humor. I am 5'6", 132 lbs. I'm a good friend and a good partner except that I am currently minus a partner... but you knew that already.
I've lived abroad and travelled a lot. The traveling I seek at the moment is on the journey of the heart. For me, wholeness comes with having a mate to love and share heart space with. Could that be you?
Here's more about me:
I love art, especially painting and photography, and being in nature. gardening and reading, following politics and economics, meeting new people. I love the beach just about anywhere. I'm a big fan of old maps, history, and information graphics. I like to cook. I enjoy classical music and jazz, partake of the various cultural institutions in SF: the Fine Arts Museums, SF MOMA, Symphony, Ballet. I get my exercise by walking, swimming, going to the gym. I have attempted golf and getting better at it is still on my bucket list. Yoga and meditation are things I do almost every day.
I recently adopted a cockapoo puppy. He is awesome. Some people say we look alike.
Here's about you:
You are a kind man who is a nice guy, my age plus or minus ten years, and taller than myself with a joy in living, a sense of humor, some common interests, a sense of adventure, an appreciation of good conversation, ready to connect for a new partnership. Those are the basics and please surprise me with the rest.
Please post a photo. I respond to emails for sure and maybe not so much to winks. I am not high maintenance but am not comfortable making the first contact. I look forward to hearing from you and, if not, I wish you all the best in your search and much happiness in the long term.
Meet a woman from California, United States. Grew up on the East coast....moved West for college and never looked back. I have lived primarily in SF except five years on the lagoon in Stinson.
Have been involved with graphic design and publishing. I currently direct a think tank focused on research and social change. I have the privilege of working with interesting people around the world.
I have accomplished children, aged 35-15, with whom I am close. I enjoy navigating the relationship dynamics of a big family. I tend to observe before jumping in, and am a big fan of direct communication.
I have traditional values (honesty, hard work) but like unconventional ideas. I follow current trends technology and music (even rap). I am not a fanatic but health is definitely a priority…exercise, organic food, preventative medicine.
I love life and I am grateful for my health, my kids, a rewarding carrier, and financial independence...but I like the excitement, friendship and intimacy of a relationship. In search of man who is happy with himself, warm, intellectually engaged, and generous of spirit.
Date a soulmate from California, United States. I love life and appreciate the art of food, good friendship, and enjoying life the best way one can.
I teach people to stay young and happy through eating well exercise, and living mindfully. I have several books I have written on the subject.
I am looking for someone who is honest and vibrant. A man who can share his gifts with others.
. I am pretty and smart, energetic, kind and thoughtful, funny and quick to laugh - attractive both inside and out - vivacious, open, sensual and expressive. I enjoy being active - an avid skier; regular biker; enthusiastic, but terrible golfer; great dancer, a dutiful deck hand and galley cook. AND (a trait that is unique to one of my gender) I can travel around the world carrying only an overhead suitcase.
I am ivy educated, bi-coastal, well-read, well-traveled and, most importantly - emotionally well-put together. I am lively, sophisticated, fun to be with in my blue jeans or dressed up for formal occasion. I enjoy the symphony, a good play or movie (indies esp.), dining out (fine or funky), dancing or spending a quiet evening at home with easy music, a classic movie (noir is always fun) or a good book cuddling in bed. I have a semi-trained voice and sing along to the radio, around the campfire or on long car rides. I am close with my family and friends all of whom I feel lucky to have in my life.
I am seeking a man who, like me, has a wonderful life and enjoys success in his career and has nothing he needs to prove - is comfortable in his skin, delights in being with family and friends - is sensual, warm and loving; and is intent on finding a caring, sensual and dynamic partner who will challenge and enchant him, support and engage him.
I currently live and work out of LA and Orange County, but my work is unique in that I can spend a lot of time in SF where I have a lovely little condo on Russian Hill near my daughter and her family - and where, with the right person, I will happily live full time. I also spend time in San Miguel de Allende where my son and his family live. Although a little shy about posting photos, I have put current ones skiing last season (a passion...), biking, hiking and traveling - and in costume having fun with my family - which just about covers pastimes I regularly enjoy and which I hope to share with my partner.
. I'm most passionate about intimate verbal communication, having FUN, shared physical interests, bright and inquisitive mind, and service to others. Also passionate about art and music from Leonard Cohen to Adele to Vaya Con Dias, Deva Premal, Johnny Clegg, Nina Simone, Nick Lowe, Snow Patrol, Nat King Cole - and oh yes, Rachmaninoff and Puccini to name a few. I like to cook healthy and must admit eat little red meat these days.
I am grateful for the beauty of each and every moment. My mantra is to be nimble and able to move to the shifts and twists of these uncertain times. I work as a restaurant marketing consultant and also spend time with my passion of art and photography, where my focus is interpretating water abstract.
Of late I realize I am a light traveler - on varied levels. I crave less, like to travel with only the carry-on and find community and family most cherished treasures.
In a relationship I seek to find a partner with common interests and one who is willing to dive deeply into intimate communication - not afraid to ask probing questions. He would be taller than me, have shared values of integrity, politics, an appreciation of the preservation of our natural resources and understand what it means to be in service to others. He would love the spirit of adventure and travel and discovering simple pleasures. We would be supportive of our individual dreams/goals and find a mutual path.
