Date women from United States / California / San Ramon, 52 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. This is my time to shine!
Beyond the drop down menus and radio button clicks, here are some things I'd like to share about the real girl behind the profile.
What's inside? I'm outgoing, confident, friendly, ambitious, positive and happy!
Status and Family; widowed 8 years and I am emotionally stable. My family is small and I am very close to my mom and little sister.
Mind set; extremely possitive outlook on life. Life has been good to me and it shows. If it can be done outside rather than inside, I'll be outside. 95% girl - 5% tomboy. I prefer life when every day is a little different.
Food and Dining, patio surfing at restaurants is a particular favorite. I'm not at all shy from exploring new culinary cuisines. I enjoy many types of ethnic foods. I've never met at cheese I didn't like. I believe in breakfast, the healthy kind. I do cook but prefer to be the sous chef. Jelly beans are a favorite treat. Peet's v. Starbucks? Peet's.
Sports and Hobbies, fast sports are my favorite spectator sports. Such as auto racing and horse racing. I'm counting the days until the America's Cup trials come to SF next month. Baseball is a very close second, particularly day games. Camping is great with a well appointed cabin involved. Golf is a new passion of mine.
Socially, I have nice circle of friends and there is always something going on. I have special connections to a PGA golf course, world class winery and concert venue. It would be great to share all that fun with someone.
Holidays; Halloween is my favorite playful holiday. A costume that makes people say, "wow" makes a great Halloween.
Fitness; running and hiking are my cardio of choice.
Music and TV; Mystery, Intrigue, Indie, Romance and Foreign films are frequently in my queue. Mad Men, Big Bang Theory, TMZ, all things HBO and most things PBS. What's on my MP3? Mostly alternative rock mixed with other genres.
Travel; I travelled with my parents as a child and have continued to do so as an adult. My passport has a variety of stamps from Great Britian, Germany, Nicaragua, the Caribbean, Mexico, Costa Rica and the Netherlands Antilles. I like to explore places as near as a drive or as far as across the globe.
Career and Finances; Assistant Property Manager for a class-A building in the financial district. Financially, I stand on my own two feet and always have.
What works for me is someone who is intelligent, sincere, eloquent, adaptable and ambitious. A man who indulges in the finer things in life. Someone who has the time and inclination to travel. A man who, if given a choice would stay in B&B rather than pitch a tent. Someone whose idea of a drive to the Marin headlands doesn't involve a motorcycle. A guy who understands the importance of having separate interests and doing separate things occassionally. I prefer a man with a tidy appearance and a sense of style. Bonus points if have an opinion about what color I paint my toe nails or what artwork to hang on my walls.
If this sounds appealing I would love to hear from you.

Meet a woman from California, United States. Every year seems to be more incredible than the previous. I am always learning about life and trying new things; it has been amazing, fun, and fascinating! Meditation, conscious living, and a healthy lifestyle has been pretty powerful.
My career is established and still growing; working hard has been fulfilling and fun. Done lots of inner work as well. I'm now ready to enjoy my personal life ... with friends, family, and adventure!
Appearance-wise, I'm 5'3", 110 lbs, fit, and have an elegant-fresh look. I love to dress with flair and style!
Fun things to do with a special someone.....explore new restaurants, museums, day trips, spas, cooking, movies, relax with the Sunday paper, concerts, socialize, talk about our lives, shopping, holding hands.
It would be wonderful to meet a man with a warm personality and healthy lifestyle. I have a weakness for tall men who are gentle, easy-going, intelligent, and have a kind heart. If that's you, send me a note!
P.S. I appreciate notes so much more than winks (smile).

Meet a soulmate from United States. Humm... let's see...
I'd like to meet a man who is warm and affectionate, and likes to communicate... someone who is honest and trusting, good natured, and has a sense of humor.
I want someone who will be my companion and lover. Ideally he will be someone who enjoys life, has a positive attitude, and even though responsible and a realist, still knows how to dream & have fun, as he knows life is to a degree what we make it.
I'd love a man in my life who is either creative or at least understands my passion for art. He doesn't have to like the work I do, but if he could be supportive and understand it is a vital part of me that would be great. I hope to do the same for him with his dreams and aspirations.
I'd like to travel more, so it would be nice if you like to too...not all the time, but a trip now and then to see what is happening on the other side of the world, or in that little town nearby would be fun. I'd love to have a companion to explore with.
I guess I'm looking for my muse.... my inspiration, and my soulmate... that one who makes my heart race when I see him across the room, and me melt when he holds me.
More about me?
I like the sound of the wind, leaves rustling, geese flying overhead, and someone I love whispering my name.
I love giving (but don't like expectations, judgements, & controlling people).
I love seeing people smile, and a thank you from a 90 yr old whose pain is lessoned is worth more than any achievement award in the office (even though I also enjoy my other work).
I am sometimes shy, but mostly bold.
I am independent, but also a die hard romantic, and if you are the one there will be lots of affection and lingering kisses...
I love good humor, good food, having fun, and anything creative.
I love laughter and smiles.. especially on children, my daughter (now grown and married), and you...the one I hope to be with.
I hope you are the one.
