Date women from United States / California / Santa Barbara - page 5

Date someone special from Santa Barbara, United States. I'm a girl looking for a fun friendship that can hopefully turn into more. I'm new to Santa Barbara area and am looking for someone to share what this place has to offer with me. I'm interested in outdoor activities, the ocean, hiking, camping, anything crazy or not so crazy. I'll go skydiving, hand gliding or just sit on the beach but all this is a lot more fun when there is someone else to share it with. I'm passionate about traveling, I looove photography and road trips. I try and live a healthy lifestyle but am not a health nut. I will eat chocolate, red meat and drink beer if the occassion is right. I'm into sports including watching it. I love sunday football and the playoffs...I think going to a superbowl would be amazing. I am actually very happy with my job, it gives me the opportunity to explore the world and make a difference in peoples lives which is a really cool feeling. My idea on life is live each day like it's the last, and don't let regret take away from your happiness because you can't change the past you can only make the future better.
I would like to meet someone who is able to share his life and life stories easily...initial shyness doesn't bother me as long as you can be open once you feel comfortable. I would like someone who can hold his own in conversations...someone who is aware of the world around them and has an opinion on things. I want someone who is active, responsible and most of all mature! I want someone who doesn't run away when things get "serious" and who is ready for that to happen eventually...if it's going to happen. I feel you have to be attracted to the person you're with and its just a fact of life, though this can come not only from the physical sense. I feel chemistry is something that's not possible to explain and I feel it's either there or not but an integrally important part of things.

Meet a woman from Santa Barbara, United States. Ok so I need funny, a person with a good sharp sense of humor is a must, goofy doesn't bother me because I can be super goofy too :) I loove playing around! Big heart, loyal and hardworking are musts! I'd like to meet somebody with a solid group of friends and/or family. I'm the kind of girl that can have lots of fun having a beer at stinky bar or at home with friends or having a good glass of wine at a nice restaurant. The same way I really enjoy myself with shorts, jeans and flip flops and I also love dressing up when I go out to dinner or to get drinks. Can't stand shallow people or a man that takes care way to much of his physical appearance because I want to be the girl in my relationship. And if you like showing off TALKING about money and cars and expensive stuff and bla bla bla I'm not your girl. I'm into smart funny people with humble hearts. It's also important that the person that is interested in hanging out with me has to know that I love sleeping in whever I can, specially on Sundays and I like taking naps whever possible :)

Date a soulmate from Santa Barbara, United States. Just to give you and idea of who I am according to a few close one:) baby blue eyes, fun, energetic, spontaneous, compassionate, dynamic...oh and I canfriends of mine:)...kindhearted, sweet loving, loyal, killer smile (I liked that also be a handful! He he he;)
I'm 5'10" tall and not afraid to wear heals. I am also the mom to a very energetic crazy little boy. Coolest kid you'll ever meet unless of course you have your own and I'm sure they are the coolest too:) I have a big soft spot for pitbulls, hence my name. They are the most misunderstood breed of dogs and I am a huge advocate for them. Also love all the mastif breeds too. I work at a veterinary clinic in Santa Barbara and love what I do. Working closely with the owners and pets has been one of the most worthwhile jobs I've ever had. Animals can be such a part of who we are so finding someone who also loves animals is imperative. If you don't like animals I'm not sure we would work out.
I'm looking for a guy who is down to earth like I am. Someone who loves the city and the country at the same time. I'm looking for someone who loves spending time with friends and family at backyard BBQs on the weekends. Going swimming and sitting in the hot tub. Hiking and hanging out at the beach. I love the outdoors and being active. I don't go downtown too much except for the occasional happy hour with friends or random night dancing.
I need someone to make me laugh. What fun is life if you can't laugh:) Looking for someone with great integrity...following through on the words that come out of your mouth. Someone who will care for me and eventually my son as well...must love kids. I'm cool if you have kids too. The more the merrier right? I also would love to find someone who has a similar faith/spirituallity to me. It's important to share and support one another and to agree on the basic principals of life. I want someone who isn't satisfied with the world the way it is...someone who wants to make a difference either in work, play, or attitude.
It seems like a tall order but that's me! I like to have fun and enjoy life and would love a partner to join me for the ride:)

Meet someone special from United States. I'm a driven and inspiring person who devotes most free time to work and staying fit. Work hard - play hard! I feel so fortunate to live and work in Santa Barbara, but also equally blessed that I have the flexibility to work from anywhere.... Often finding myself in San Francisco one week a month. But I just purchased a condo in SB and am loving life! I'm competitive, active, and fun, with a deeply soft and nurturing side. I'm passionate, love taking care of others and supporting those in my life.
My ideal man would be funny, intelligent, thoughtful and honest... Equally beautiful on the inside as outside. He should exude drive and determination, always seeking to press the envelope. I am looking for a man who can keep me on my toes, while able to keep up with me. He should be willing to take as good care of himself, as he does me. I'm not looking for a man to "set me up." I do just fine on my own. But hoping to find that man who makes me say, "wow, how was I ever complete without you?" .. Someone to travel and enjoy this amazing world with.
Life is an adventure and wonderful. Looking forward to finding someone to take to the full extent - or discover what impact we can have on the world as a pair.
Specifically... My ideal guy SHOULD NOT:
-- Put money above family, friends or relationships.
-- Have to "party" or drink to enjoy himself.
-- Cringe when I mention the gym.
-- Have "personal baggage" so big to make my arms hurt after trying to help him offload it.
-- Be afraid to love and be 100% honest, no matter what, even if it "hurts"
But my ideal man SHOULD:
-- Laugh as often as possible. Hopefully he will do a wonderful job at making me laugh, too.
-- Love dogs.
-- Want to start a family within the next decade.
-- Love life and appreciate "the small things" because of how wonderful and precious they can be.
-- Like or have patience with my affinity for all things Sci-Fi and Fitness. Odd combo - I realize... Just roll with it.
-- Let me cook 99.999999% of the time. "Sorry, but pleas get the hell out of my kitchen!" :)
-- Like people watching as much as I do. Especially little old ladies who can't drive, out-of-town visitors who don't have a clue, or people in the gym wearing inappropriate wardrobes trying to "get their sweat on". :) People and pets make me laugh, among other things.
-- Love kids. They are amazing little people and I'd like to own one, someday.
-- Did I already mention honesty? Please don't bother if you can't keep reality from fiction... "Mm K?"
-- Love healthy food and human physiology. I'm talking about a TRUE appreciation for the physique and what it requires to obtain the best one. We are what we eat, so you should have a good grasp of what you are made of, and how important nutrition is to your mind, body and mood. You don't have to be as fanatical as me, but some sense and appreciation is important.
-- Love me for my drive and determination, but also be assertive as the man you are - unafraid to make me feel like a woman = beautiful and feminine.
-- Have a good relationship with family. Good with relationships, in general.
-- Be skilled in the bedroom. Yes, I said it, we are all adults here.
-- Be willing to wake up at sunrise to run the SBCC track (ocean view) or run along the Shoreline. ...it's the best way to begin the day.
Most importantly, my ideal guy should have a true desire to find his soul mate or deep partner in life. I'm not talking about LETS GET MARRIED TODAY (in fact, the "M" word makes me very nervous), but friendship and true deep relationship with someone you can trust and know will always have your back is equally as important as the physical chemistry. Yes, I do want to get married and raise a family, but first things first.
I'm "a keeper" but also pretty picky. After coming out of a long relationship, I'm looking to have fun and meet new people who share interests. Looking forward to seeing if we are compatible and to get to know you....

Date a woman from United States. I am a very loving and passionate person. Connecting with the people in my life is one of the most important things to me. I am so very blessed with all of my extraordinary friends and family, but I would very much love to find that "unico e indementicable" (means one of a kind and unforgettable in Italian) man in my life to connect with and share my life with.
I am the oldest of four children who I helped my mom to raise. From this experience and from my amazing mother, one of the things I am best at which makes me so happy, is taking care of others.
I got my dad's brilliant brains and so I really appreciate an intellectual conversation. Small talk is not usually my thing.
A summary of a little more about me:
Business fascinates me! I love to travel and relate to people of other cultures. I love languages! Great music, theatre and movies moves me! Within the past 5 years I have been discovering an appreciation for running, working out and tennis. I get very excited about fashion and passing on the nutritional education I received growing up. Although I can let loose and be care free, class and good manners are beautiful to me.
Most important, I am very real. I prefer to be direct and honest and for others to be the same with me.
The man who I hope to find, knows who he is and what he wants. He is not afraid to go for what he wants! He wants to find a woman to appreciate, love, and cherish. He wants children and wants to give of his heart to create a healthy happy home for his family.
He is handsome, sexy and takes good care of himself (eats healthy, exercises, and dresses well). He is classy and has good manners. He is charming and funny and makes me laugh! He is intelligent and intellectual and wants to share what he knows with me in a loving and supportive way. He values communication, honesty, and loyalty. He either has a great appreciation for other cultures, is well traveled, speaks other languages or was raised in a family with a foreign background and culture.
He is hard working, successful and driven in his work but his first priority is always family and the people that love him in his life. Most important.....he welcomes being loved and cared for and finds just as much satisfaction in reciprocating.
If this sounds like you, please do BOTH send a wink and email me (I don't currently subscribe and so I can only see winks. if I am interested in your wink, I will subscribe and read your email). I look very much forward to meeting you and getting to know you!
XOXO
PS If you do not treat women with respect, have a drug or alcohol abuse problem, or are a cheater, please don't bother contacting me! Please only contact me if you think that my description above describes you.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Love my life in Santa Barbara ! Just moved back after traveling for a few months through Europe. Have an amazing new job in computer software and happy to be back in Santa Barbara where I have lived on and off for about 10 years. Grew up in Manhattan Beach and went to school in Santa Barbara. Even though I have traveled all over the world I still love Southern California and am so thankful to call it home!
I have a great relationship with my parents and sister - they are my best friends and we always have such a good time together. I have a great group of close friends in Santa Barbara and have accumulated a lot of great relationships during my world travels. I am the type of person that just seems to get along with everyone - love meeting new people and having endless laughs and fun :) I have two cats that I adopted a few years ago when they were kittens and my friends love making fun of me and calling me a crazy, cat lady. I am far from it, but I love the stereotype, it makes me laugh!
I am looking for a guy that compliments my life, that makes me laugh, that's genuine and caring, that cherishes me as much as I cherish him, and who has goals and ambitions. I am a girl that has a contagious laugh, that enjoys great conversation, and that likes to hang out and meet new people. I love being outdoors and having fun, watching horror movies (my favorite), going to museums or zoos, drinking beers and watching sports, hanging out with the people I care about and talking for hours, painting outlandish paintings or anything art related, going to concerts, and hosting dinner parties for friends.

Date someone special from California, United States. About me... I like hard work over mediocrity. Smiling at strangers. Air hockey. Inside jokes. Laughing till I cry. Smiling till it hurts. Walking my dog along the beach front over almost everything else. The breeze messing up my hair Doing what sounds good in the moment as opposed to long planned out dates. Playing like a kid. Cuddling under the stars in a patio chair over any club scene. A simple dress, jeans and a tee, or yoga clothes rather than all dressed up. Although sometimes I will be all dolled up to go sit in that patio chair just to make your jaw drop ; )...Rolling out of bed and taking off with no real plan
Honesty, no matter what. KEY LIME PIE, KEY LIME PIE, KEY LIME PIE!!..ha ha, football and board games...Kindness to everyone...even when its hard. I love holding hands and being extra sweet to that special someone but can be quiet at first. I want someone who listens without judging, can tell me anything as well as I can to them as well. Someone whoi loves my quirks and actually finds them endearing..(like my sound effects if you squeeze me when we hug). ... (message truncated) must love my koolabear

Meet a woman from California, United States. Hi Guys,
As all my friends were busy falling in love with the men of their dreams I was continuing my education and working hard at my job. I've found success in a lot of parts of my life. I don't need someone to be happy, as I feel that I've led a pretty incredible single life, but as I get older I realize that there are things I want to share with that someone special.
A little about me...
Grew up in Santa Barbara, moved away for the last 11 years and recently came back. And Im so excited to be here.
My priorities in life are my family and friends. I'm passionate about them and our relationships. I'd drop everything for them before myself any day.
I love school and would continuing going for the rest of my life if I could afford it. =) I have a Bachelor of Science in Marketing and an MBA.
I love traveling. A weekend trip or a planned trip to a place a bit further are both equally great.
Some things that I enjoy doing are watching movies at the theaters or home, going to bars/eating out, sports-going to games or watching them somewhere, baseball/basketball/football, hiking, camping, skiing and almost any other outdoor activity. My new favorite activity is running. I did 2 half marathons this past year and I'm training for my next in a few months. Planning to run my first marathon this year too.
Who I'm looking for:
So I'm looking for someone who wants to take an adventure with me. Someone who loves great restaurants/hole in the walls and outdoor activities. Someone who is willing to let me into their life and wants to learn about mine. A guy who continues to challenge me mentally, physically and emotionally....all in a good way of course. Someone who has goals in life, inspires to be better and do better each day. Who wants to settle down and have a family, but doesn't want to rush it either, because they only plan to do it once. I need some who can hold an intellectual conversation, laugh at themselves occasionally, enjoys spending time with me and my friends, but also has guy friends that he can enjoy guys nights out with and wants me to enjoy my girls nights out too. Someone who wants to grab a beer and watch a football game or drink some wine as we watch the sunset. Someone who wants me to dress up, but also thinks I'm equally as beautiful in his raggedy t-shirt.
If you've read this far, hopefully you'll overcome that fear and shoot me a message.
Take Care!

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I grew up in Santa Barbara, where I currently live, and every time I move away I find myself coming back. I love the sunshine and warm weather. I'm the oldest of 5 kids, my parents are still together, and I value the meaning of family tremendously.
I graduated from UCSB and have been involved in the events world ever since.
I enjoy being outdoors, on a hike, training for a new scary sporting event or brunching on a patio.
I'm looking for someone outgoing, witty, motivated who values family, friends, and makes me laugh.

. If you like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain, if you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain, if you like making love at midnight, in the dunes on the Cape, then i'm the love you've looked for. Write to me and escape.

. I speak Bengali, Hindi, Urdu and read and write Arabic. One of my biggest regrets is not keeping up with my Flemish! I hope to pick it up someday. I love to travel. Unfortunately, Work has been keeping me too busy. i am laid back, love the beach, i like being active and hanging out with my friends. I also love to cook. Most of my friends would describe me as kind, friendly, intelligent and organized. I'm new to this site, so if you feel like you want to get to know me better, shoot me an email.

. I swore I would NEVER EVER do this and looks like I'm doing it. I am a highly energetic person that likes to workout, play sports, compete in events but can also relax and chill out when necassary.
I am looking for a postitive, active, fun, hardworking, life-loving individual that can keep up with me!!
