Date men and women from United States / California / San Rafael, 43 year old

Date men and women from California, United States. I am an honest, down to earth guy. Self improvement and continuing my education are very important to me. I am mechanically inclined and like anything with a motor. I like camping, hiking, sunsets, and hanging out with friends and family. I don't watch TV much, I prefer to read or surf the web.
I am looking for a woman with similar interests to mine. Someone that is a people person, outgoing and likes new experiences.
I'm not good at meeting new people, but want to be. I am looking for my wing-woman. A lady with no fear and a whole lot of posture that likes to meet new friends.

Meet men and women from California, United States. I'm looking for a guy who is just as comfortable wearing a t-shirt and jeans as he is wearing a pair of heels and a sexy dress. Wait, sorry...I didn't mean that. I've read it so many times in profiles that it just came out. ***Add on to the previous statement...I learned that women like to say this in their profiles as well, so...
I enjoy reading a good book, I love my Kindle, it's fun to take the Larkspur ferry to a ballgame (if the Cardinals are playing I have to root for them since I'm from St. Louis...otherwise, go Giants!), going for a hike, riding my bike, rhyming, yoga, kayaking, spending time with family and friends, winetasting, margaritas, eating and cooking healthy foods, being at the beach...I love comedy. I love to laugh. Smart comedy...stupid comedy...it's all good (actually, it's not all good... why do we say that?). Some favorites: Louis C.K., Brian Regan, Chris Rock, Larry David, David Cross...
I have family in Missouri. I love to go back there especially to see my niece and nephews.

Date a woman from California, United States. I love being alive and laughing. I find the greatest pleasures are found in the simplest things in life: taking a walk or having dinner with friends for instance. Two of my greatest pleasures in life are singing with my choir and going ballroom, salsa and country dancing. One of my priorities in life is to be as healthy as I can be that is why I exercise five days per week and dance on the weekend as well as eat very healthy (my friends tell me I inspire them). I do not smoke and drink very little and my ideal match does not smoke either. He is also a very good dancer and takes very good care of his health too and enjoys laughing too.

Meet people from California, United States. Just moved back to Marin after two years in the warm sunny surf town of Encinitas...being close to my family and the expansiveness of the bay area reeled me in. It will be great to have a fun healthy compatible companion to explore what's new and old favorites. I'm outgoing, genuine, and really enjoy the basics, indulging in life's simple pleasures...especially with a sweet mate that instantly puts a smile in my heart.
To offset my longing for the mesmerizing So Cal ocean sunsets, I'm seeking some comparable No Cal viewing spots, if you're game to find some, let me know. Also on my list is local live music, from rock to salsa to new country (including potential venues to learn two stepping.)
There's so much more to say....but I believe it all comes down to chemistry and if it's meant to be. I'm willing to finally engage in this surreal online dating. Thanks for reading, perhaps we'll meet...either way, I wish you all the best on your life's journey.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I have a full life with my amazing two boys, a job that I love, wonderful friends, and a close, loving, big family. I'm hoping to find a partner to share our lives; to support each other through life's ups and downs.
I consider myself to be grounded, optimistic, genuine, warm, caring, loving and an affectionate partner. I'm active and spontaneous while balancing the routine of life. I love the outdoors and my first choice with free time is to head out to a hiking/running trail, the beach, or a picnic. My summer vacation with my boys each year is a week of tent camping in Tahoe. Yes, I can pitch a tent, set up the camp stove, lantern, etc.
I'm hoping to meet a genuine, sincere partner/companion who is down to earth, enjoys outdoor adventure, can communicate openly and is willing to work on a relationship to make it the best it can be. I enjoy being adventurous and on the go but also enjoy quiet nights cooking together with music and wine then cuddling on the couch. I have lots of love, hugs, laughs, smiles, and affection to give and would be so very happy to meet a loving, affectionate, caring man who is open to exploring where a relationship can go.
I've been separated for five years and officially divorced for two. I've taken time to work through the grief /loss of what I thought would be a lifetime marriage and have done a lot of self reflection in these past five years. I feel like I'm in a really good place and want to share what I feel is a happy life with someone.
My ex and I started as friends and continue to be friends. We have a low drama, supportive co-parenting relationship and we come together for special occasions.
I'm with my two boys 60% time, work full-time, have great friends/family I like to spend time with and like some alone time to exercise and go on my stress reducing, mind clearing, energy restorative trail runs. So, I don't have an abundant amount of time for a partner especially in the beginning stages of getting to know someone. Although I don't have a lot of spare time, I do have free nights and weekends that I want to share with that special someone. I will be the woman who when in a relationship, needs some personal time, will thoroughly enjoy our couple time, and is 100% there for you all of the time.

Meet someone special from San Rafael, United States. Seeking a SWM in or near the North Bay for basic dating rituals that might lead to a long-term companionship opportunity.
I'm from the east coast with old-fashioned values, yet also have an open mind and that's why I live here and not there!
I am looking for someone with very similar tastes- not only in sense of humor, behavior, habits and interests, but also especially for meat and potatoes because a salad is just not an entree no matter how much chicken or steak you put on it...
Similar likes and dislikes yes, but a distinctly individual personality is a must.

Date men and women from San Rafael, United States. ok, i'm just going to be completely honest: i am a newly single gal, really wanting to be given a relationship with a kind man who wants both love & commitment in his life.
i come from a big, loving family, having grown up with my sibs on our family's beautiful horse ranch in novato. i look to both my mom & dad as terrific examples of what it means to be complete, whole persons - with an accepting, total allegiance to each other.
i enjoy life in all it's offerings, & i really, simply put, desire a partner in life to experience those joys with me.
now you're gonna have to connect to know more...:)!

Meet a woman from San Rafael, United States. I like to cook; garden, spend time with friends and explore. I have diverse tastes and I have found many things in life that make me happy, and I am thankful for every day. I am looking for someone who wants to care and be cared for. I want to have adventures, link arms and laugh together. I have learned that balance in a relationship and some equity in responsibility would work better for me than being more of the provider and caregiver. I am originally from the east coast and that makes up part of who I am. My dad was one of the real Madmen and I grew up in a very creative environment. I love the Bay Area and discover new reasons to stay here every day, but love to vist the east coast. I came to San Francisco for a summer over 20 years ago and am still here seeing the sights and loving where I live. I have found friends, work and a home here, and am looking for the compliment of friendship and eventually love. I am very open to trying many new things, kayaking is on my short list. I have discovered the gym in the last six months and I am now hooked on exercise and better health. I stopped drinking and that has been wonderful for me, but I don't mind others drinking and I love to socialize and entertain. I am confident and outgoing... I am looking for a man who is balanced and really likes himself. I find confidence a very attractive trait in a man. I am looking for someone who shares some common interests and who has great new things and ideas to offer. I want to do manythings together, but I hope you are happy with a hobby or friends while I am off riding my horse. Trust and the ability to be together or apart at times seems most healthy to me. I am strong and sensitive with an open heart and an open mind and am looking for the same. I am delighted to go camping with my horse or dress up for dinner and the Symphony. Vivaldi four seasons anyone? I am looking to get to know more about a man that has a similar outlook. I am in no hurry. A conversation and then perhaps a cup of coffee seem like a good start!

Date people from San Rafael, United States. The first things that people notice about me are probably my lips and my laugh. I am the quintessential California girl – born and raised, thru and thru. I am most proud of my boys. In addition, the fact that I still have a tremendously close family, most of my same friends from HS and many new ones too makes me pretty darn proud. I was born in Marin, schooled in Berkeley, then on to SF for the requisite dozen years of super good times, then back to Marin for “people making” era. Nothing says happiness like a parking spot when you have a carload of chitins’! While in SF I managed to (despite all of the profound dehydration), start my own business in which I continue to find great personal satisfaction and success.
What else to disclose about me…hmmmm…I like fun. Hell, I AM fun. Last year I went to visit a friend in Hong Kong and, some how, ended up in a beer maid outfit complete with platinum braids and I am pretty sure that I wound up dancing on a bar in wan chai. I love to travel and log lots of destinations every year. In the past year I have hit the beaches of Croatia, shopped in Copenhagen and NYC, stayed in a 5 star resort in Mexico, enjoyed several ski adventures in Tahoe and took an epic weeklong camping adventure in Yosemite. Last weekend, donning full cowgirl attire, I rode a mechanical bull, albeit not very well. Regardless, if that doesn’t just say it all…put me in any situation and I am a gamer!
A sign that I really don’t know when too much is enough…I have three (yes, three) giant dogs whose tails should be considered lethal weapons….at least as far as a coffee cups are concerned. These are table-clearing tails. Combined my pooches total some 200 pounds of fur, chaos and love. I am incredibly lucky to have them. Must love dogs.
I am confident, vibrant, down to earth, a great friend, a proud mom, fun loving, positive, sunny, sexy, sassy and beautiful in a total stuck up way (just kidding---and sarcastic too J ).
But, let’s get down to the really important part. Who are you? Charisma is priority #1 for me. Gainfully employed would be spectacular too. Funny. (period). Smart, tall and hot too (can I say that?). All in all, I am looking for your typical, basic, everyday, run of the mill “SUPERSTUD”. Where are you?
I like adventurous, spirited, well-traveled, well read/spoken, and fun people. You have to be open to meeting my motley crew of crazy, yet hilarious, friends. I’ll meet yours too. I hope you are confident but not ultra competitive….a true gentleman. (But if you have “a true gentleman” in your profile name, you are probably not for me. The same goes for listing your favorite baseball team or that you are a �sports fan’ or using the word �dawg’ …also any reference to the number 69…..we just weren’t meant for each other. Sorry. I am sure there is someone out there for you.)
No photo = no bueno.
Also, if you are РІР‚?winkingРІР‚в„ў you ainРІР‚в„ўt thinking.
I am open to meeting quality people. LetРІР‚в„ўs meet and see if there is chemistry there. Champagne or cheeseburgers, bowling shoes or high heels, picnic or Paris, itРІР‚в„ўs all good.

Meet a soulmate from San Rafael, United States. I'm young at heart, active, responsible, fun and loyal... just to name a few characteristics. I really like living in Marin and being close enough to hop in to SF for anything. My preference is to find a long-term relationship with someone who is close by so we can have fun together, spend quality time and create some good memories (and see where it goes from there....).
That's it for now. I prefer to do the "getting-to-know-you" one-on-one. So, if you are interested, how about we chat via email to start?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Have a great day.

Date someone special from United States. I am a single mom of an adorable toddler. The father and I are good friends, do our best to co-parent. A child takes up a lot of time, so my potential partner needs to understand this aspect. I am not looking to have another baby myslef, but if I meet someone with kids, that would be great. I love outdoor adventures, very easy going, hard worker, and will do anything for those I love.
