Date men and women from United States / California / San Rafael, 42 year old

Date someone special from San Rafael, United States. I'm looking for someone to have meaningful conversations with as well as having fun. I'm looking for someone who is fun and adventurous. Someone who loves the outdoors and would want to spend weekend enjoying it - whether it's a simple walk in the park or weekend getaway to the ocean or the mountains. Someone who loves to laugh and find the humor in anything. Someone who I can go out and explore the surrounding area with and have a great time, and someone who I can snuggle with watching a movie at home. Someone who can bring out the best in me just by being herself and have fun in the process.
Looking forward to hearing from you

Meet single man from San Rafael, United States. I like strange turns of events and new or unusual ideas. I don't have to agree with you to be interested in or like you. As my high school Econ teacher liked to say, Teach me something...
I've traveled a lot, lived overseas and not necessarily in the usual places and blah, blah, blah...
A few more random things about me...
I am very serious about a few very important things but beyond that I don't see much point in getting worked up about much so I mainly just try to enjoy my life. On that note, I do my best not to get distracted by material things and spend very little time fiddling with my smartphone...I'd rather travel a lot and drink decent wine than drive a nice car...and that sort of stuff...
There's still an awful lot I'd like to do and that's pretty much what I focus on. I'm ambitious but not in the usual or "type A" way and don't like to get busy or clutter my days. It still happens but it's not my preferred mode.
I love cities but I also like open spaces and water. To me, the idea of a good time is a long bike ride, a sprawling dinner, a bottle of nice wine, a decent movie, a pig roast, a good cup of coffee. I'm generally healthier than most people (not such a challenge, I suppose...) but do have my weaknesses.
I can usually tell whether I'm going to like someone within just a few minutes of meeting him or her. It's more of a curse than a blessing--but it does help me save a lot of time.
And you...I am attracted to women who are smart, dependable, honest, funny and can communicate well. I get along very well with wise-asses, fast thinkers and those with a good sense for sarcasm and critical thinking ability (I'm from the Northeast...).
Please be an adventurous (and carnivorous) eater since I cook all sorts of things.

Date men and women from San Rafael, United States. I'm really looking for fun and connection with men who like to play -- in and out of work.
My friends describe me as thoughtful and kind and I'd like to attract the same.
My ideal social life is with community all around - being around exciting people who are playing big.

Meet a soulmate from San Rafael, United States. The question I hear most: What is a woman like you doing single?
I don't usually have an answer to substantiate the question and today I'm still asking the mystery to reveal itself to me. It must be why many of us are seeking partnerships on match.
Too much of a good thing is not always what men are looking for. I'm a lot of woman with fire and intensity and passion and purpose and drive. A force within me helps me to lead others in my work to attain greater health and a stronger spirit.
I want a man who can be with me and we can just love being in each others presence. I want a man I can trust and adore and invest my love with. Reciprocated love is paramount. One of my favorite movies for a while was the Moulin Rouge for the principles of love "the greatest thing you will ever learn is just to love and be loved in return!" Hence my quest.
My most recent favorite movie is The Fountain. Its begins with the inception of love dated back to Adam & Eve with their quest to repair their relationship with the Tree of Life and to live forever as each others destiny. They pull each other through time to complete thier mission to serve love. Beautiful!
So I'm deeply philosophical and purposeful and can only see the profound in life. Metaphore is practically my middle name. I see people for their highest potentials and treat them with respect and adoration.
I'm focused to re-prioritize the way I live now. It has to be more about love and connection and emerging than overworking. It is so important to have this balance to nurture ones own passions. My work will alwys be there but it cant be at the expense of me, my daughter or allowing love to find me.
I do hope to find the right person who appreciates me, elevates me, inspires me. I offer love and respect and nurturing friendship.
Me: I'm smart, self-made, on-purpose, lovable, dynamic, introverted, deep thinker, observer, communicatior, feminine, passionate, playful, athletic but not competative.
You: Masculine, vital, loving, passionate, keen, aware, open minded, sincere, ethical, purposeful, understanding.
I'm sure there is so much more to you and I hope to learn about each other, as we ignite.
About my child: She is wanting to see her mom happy and loved. She knows I am strong and a good mom but we would both appreciate a positive man to bring balance to our lives. It's not the same as looking for a dad for her. It's that I wish for the influence of a man in her life to be a positive one, to be a very good memory for her.
I know how to carve out time for intimacy and relationship, work and parenting priorities as well as time for myself. Balance and building a nice life experience. Wanting to trust that love will expand our beautiful reality and also to share our love into your lifes equation.
I feel I have been patient and persistent to find the right man for me. I feel you will recognize me, if we've found each other on Match.com. Or the universe will find another way for us to meet.
I appreciate that you have checked out my profile!
