Meet someone special from California, United States. My friends describe me as energetic, outgoing, open, loyal and caring. Being active is important to me, but I also enjoy socializing over a drink, a coffee, a picnic, or dinner.
If you are passionate about something (your job, your sport, or your family), but also light-hearted and fun-loving, we might enjoy getting to know one another. I am looking for someone who is active, enjoys participating in sports and is open minded and social.
I must also include how important my family is to me. My parents are in their mid-80s and act about ten years younger-that means good genes! I also have two grown daughters who mean the world to me.
I just bought a new (1928) house which I adore! I have learned so much about home improvement and have enjoyed each and every project. It keeps me very busy, but not too busy for that coffee or drink.

Date a woman from California, United States. You'd think for a writer this part would be easy. Only 200 characters required. I write a lot more than that about other people. And get paid for it! But writing about moi? Ah, not so easy. Well, here goes. My friends (we'll let them talk) would probably tell you that I'm kind, creative, fun, and energetic. I hope they'd throw in that I'm bright, passionate, loyal, interested and interesting. My kids would tell you that I'm weird. Or at least that's what they used to say. Now they've grown up and have come to accept my quirkly sense of humor and penchant for plays on words. In fact, they've inherited both. I have a broad range of interests and am pretty willing to try new things as long as they're legal and safe. I will admit, though, that there are certain "foods" (think internal organs) that I will NOT try. Nope, don't even go there. I'm looking for someone who shares my values (respect, kindness, learning, and fun are the key ones). I think it's important that we have some shared interests, but I also think it's fun to introduce each other to new ones and to discover some together. And then there's that chemistry thing that no one can explain, but is important nonetheless. I'd like to meet someone who, like me, is comfortable on his own, but thinks that life is richer when shared with a kindred spirit.

Meet a soulmate from San Jose, United States. I'm not looking for a prince charming to sweep me off my feet but someone that I can get to know, love and grow with. I am looking for someone that is my best friend and lover, someone I can enjoy just spending time with.
I am hard working and self driven, I have had the privelage of owning several small businesses and am looking for someone with the same innner drive. I enjoy the little things in life like a great cup of coffee and enjoying an evening walk.
My daughters and I speak daily and our relationships are extremly important to me. Ideally I would like my partner to value close family ties as well.

Date someone special from San Jose, United States. I like the simplier things in life ... sort of an ole fashion - trust worthy type. Happiest times are shared with family and friends. My likes go from football to Disneyland! I have had my share of ups and downs in life and have learned to take the time to listen to people and stop and smell the roses.

Meet a woman from San Jose, United States. Me in a nut shell: I adore my family and my friends ... they are the foundation for what makes me tick. Smiling comes easy to me ... because I can find humor in almost every situation. I can laugh at myself and can make you laugh along with me. I love to travel and am very active physically. I would love to meet someone who is open to adventure. Life is short ... time is precious ... the seasons are always changing ... what are we waiting for?
OK ... here goes ... I hate internet dating ... there I said it (you probably weren't expecting that) but it's the truth. And the truth is ... I don't work a job that puts me out 'there'. And I don't go to bars ... so unless you happen to frequent Whole Foods or Trader Joe's or Starbucks or hike in Los Gatos ... we are never going to meet. So here I am on Match.f'ingcom. I have not been on here long and I am already seeing that the problem is ... we are all one click away from our next date. So how do we fix that? Start with honesty, be yourself and don't take anything personal if t doesn't work out. Take it ... one. day. at. a. time. :)
And please DON'T WINK at me. If I were in 6th grade I would be thrilled if you winked ... but 6th grade has come and long gone. So here is your SPOILER ALERT: if you wink ... I delete ... because it tells me you never read my entire profile.
Match needs to revamp this winking system. When you wink at someone in person you do so because there is eye contact. There is no such thing a virtual internet eye contact. There must be a more updated and creative way to communicate interest.
Oh ... I know ... just write to the person you're interested in.

Date a soulmate from United States. I am not into the bar scene, so I thought I'd give internet dating a try. I work mostly with woman. I am a teacher and there are not many opportunities to meet single male people, over 7 years old, in my line of work. I have taught kindergarten and first grade for 16 years. So patience is one of my virtues.
Family and friends are very important to me. My daughters are 28 and 25. They both live in San Francisco. It is wonderful to be friends with your children. They are a big part of my life, as well as my sister, her family and my 92 year old mother (who still lives on her own). We enjoy sharing life's experiences together. I love to travel. I used to be a planner (and I still am a bit), but I am learning to take each moment and each day as it comes. Treasure the joys and learn from the mistakes. It's amazing how we continually learn and transform ourselves depending on life's circumstances.
I believe honesty is the best policy and the importance of treating others kindly and with respect is a requirement.

Meet someone special from United States. I'm a busy woman who loves to get out and meet people. My favorite activity is playing golf anywhere and everywhere. And I have played many different places (not a great player but love the game!) I'm very proud of my three sons. I enjoy my work and i travel a great deal in my role. I'm looking for someone who is strong and independent. I don't need a clinging vine :) I'm looking for good company with lots of interests that we can share. I've spent a the last decade focused on my sons and my job. It's now time to focus on the rest of life. I'm looking for a great friend. I believe that all long term relationships start as friends. I have lots of faults and a long way to go. We all have areas that we can improve. It can be fun working on challenges together.

Date a woman from United States. It really is a challenge to describe who I am and all about me but here it goes.........
I think it takes time to get to know and appreciate me, since I am unique. I am told by my friends that I am a classy, generous and engaging person, very smart and funny, interesting and interested in so many things. I have a great sense of adventure and I really enjoy humor. I have great health and energy and I can be spontaneous.
I am looking for a well educated , youthful and healthy companion, a best friend and a generous and loving spirit. I am interested in a man who leads an interesting life, is accomplished, content with who he is and would like to share who he is with me. I want to create the best life for the rest of my life which has already started.
I'm currently taking an interest in gardening, long drives, healthy meals and daily exercise. I enjoy farmer's markets and seasonal produce. I love to bake and make jams this time of year. I enjoy a great BBQ with family and friends. Life long learning is my passion and I love to learn from other's experiences as well as my own. I enjoy going to watch the Giants, practicing my golf game and getting in some cardio each day.
My three adult children are amazing and a huge priority in my life. I enjoy being involved in their lives and always will be.
I am a strong woman, transforming my life on a daily basis. If you understand any of this, I would love to hear from you.

. I am a San Jose native. I feel very fortunate to live in this valley where there is so much to do. It would be fun to have someone to share it with. I am interested in a long term monogamous relationship. Not sure about marriage again but I like having a guy to care for, share time with, talk with on the phone and play golf with as much as possible. Texting is a nice convenience but I am not interested in it being the main communication in a friendship. I have two daughters with my youngest heading away to college in the fall so my life is really changing after being a single mom for many years. I loved raising my kids and enjoyed having a bunch of extra kids around but am now looking forward to living alone for awhile.
I am told I am funny and have an good sense of humor. I am a kind, compassionate, considerate and mostly patient person who is open minded and easy going. Not much drama here, donРІР‚в„ўt have the time for it. I am in sales so I am sometimes too direct. I have been self employed for the last 30 years. I am used to taking care of a family, demanding clients and too many pets on my own. I eat well and take care of myself so I am healthy and happy. I am a good cook but prefer to bake, there are always homemade cookies at our house.
I am looking for a man that wants to have a fun and active life together. Someone with kids of his own, young or old is appealing to me. It would be nice to have a larger extended family. I enjoy the outdoors, hiking and fishing I like cabins over camping. I pack well. I enjoy riding horses, skiing and quad rollerskate every day. I like going to Sharks games enjoy most music, going to movies and really like playing pool; wish I had room for a table in my house. I like entertaining and sharing a meal with friends. I look forward to traveling more. Costa Rica or the Virgin Islands are my next choices for a destination.
I tend to work too much, I want to change that…
Must love dogs…

. Calm and patient. I like to observe, take it all in. Dry wit; can laugh at self. Enjoy music (both playing and singing). I love science and the cosmos. Interested in meeting someone who is insightful, in-tune with self, someone who believes life is an adventure.

. I'm 56 year old, newly separated and am tentative about this whole dating thing to say the least. I own a restaurant and am in a mess with my soon-to-be-ex-husband and legal issues surrounding my business and land that have almost destroyed my life. I have 4 children and 2 grandchildren. I'm attractive, smart, (and a smart ass) talented, a great cook and was a performer. I'm a very social person who hasn't socialized in a long time. Would like to find an attractive man who is patient, successful, witty, hopelessly romantic & kind. I will only respond to those who are serious and sincere. Life is simply too short for anything less.
