Date men and women from United States / California / Santa Monica, 58 year old

Date a soulmate from Santa Monica, United States. My friends all say I'm a really nice guy with a good heart. I'm big on kindness and compassion. It can be a tough world... we should all be nicer to each other. I'm also a believer in honesty. Games and lies in a relationship are a waste of time.
What else? I'm a successful writer/producer, so I like anything creative -- movies, literature, music, art, dance, theater.
I've been told that I'm easy-going and relaxed and fun to be with. I like to laugh and I try not to take myself -- or life -- too seriously. If you can find humor in a difficult moment, life is a lot easier.
I like to travel -- and I also love coming home afterwards. I like meeting new people -- particularly when they can teach me new ways of seeing and thinking, and can challenge me.
I enjoy being outdoors -- hiking in the mountains, riding my bike along the beach, riding horses. I love the sound and smell of the ocean, and I always want to live near it.
WHO I'M LOOKING FOR:
I'm an old fashioned romantic -- but I know a relationship is more than just romance. I want to find someone who is looking for something deep and real and lasting.
When it comes to a relationship, I'm not demanding. Most of all I want someone with a big heart. Someone who is generous with her spirit and kind to the world around her. Someone I can depend on and believe in. A woman who wants to be a lover, a friend, a partner. And finally, someone who really, truly believes in love.

Date men and women from Santa Monica, United States. The Dalai Lama said to me (not personally, it was a chain email), “Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.” OK, I can chop, spice and inedible experiments no longer embarrass or inhibit me. If that's reckless abandon... Okay, then:
I highly value curiosity, humility and humor. (Probably pretty much in that order.) I’m thoughtful, enthusiastic, big-hearted and easy-going. But I've got an old school edge. I was a gym rat and serious athlete. Now that the competitive streak is benign, I’m empathetic and non-judgmental, which means I start out respecting everyone but I’ve been known to change my mind (sometimes somewhat abruptly). My body is fast, my mind is faster; still, I’m patient. I’m a storyteller. And I’m honorable: I learn the rules and while I like to follow them, I’ve been known to shatter more than a few.
My dog can sleep wherever he wants. I don't have to wash every dish before I go to sleep. I'm not pretentious and I'm not looking for a woman who needs to be.
I’m looking for a partner who wants to share independence, and is brave enough to let go of it in the pursuit of intimacy. I'm looking for is a woman with an attitude, her style is her invention, she is self-aware, warm and generous. My heart leaps in the presence of unselfconscious intellect, charm and humor; smiles when a woman competes in physical and verbal play and melts when she is young enough to enjoy “taking chances, making mistakes and getting messy” (Ms. Frizzle, The Magic School Bus, one of the great kid's books.).
I want to support, participate and grow with a woman committed to her family, career and community.
I live in a rock/roots/blues live world but I’m familiar with chunks of the jazz and classical repertoires. Informed conversation, rhythmically jumping from topic to topic, is music that I’m always up to play. I can work a room and often enjoy it.
I still play basketball with the kids, but my college age son and his friends (and I have coached all of these guys since they were four) tell me that I should seriously consider taking up tennis. They do not say this in either a loving or suportive way. And, I must admit, there are those days when my body tells me that they might be right. Tennis anyone?
I've lived in many NYC apartments and still can't believe that I do not have an NYC address. I've lived and worked in Italy and would do it again in a minute. I’ve lived on a houseboat on the Seine and I would do that again tonight. But I’ve built up a rewarding practice that precludes moving or extended absences, so I tend to sneak in long weekend trips and enjoy ten day or two week vacations to a European city or a Caribbean island.
Winks are flattering but I don't usually respond to them. If your email catches my imagination, mind, eye or heart, it will get a response. I promise.

Meet someone special from Santa Monica, United States. I am wordly, educated, inteligent, successful, financially secure. Have always been a high achiever.
I have high energy and zest for life. I am European but have lived most of my life in the USA. Few years ago I sold my company thinking it was time to do something different. I invested in hotels. That keeps me busy. Overall I think I am an interesting person. My daughter (only child) is now at a University on the East Coast and the big house feels empty.

Date a woman from United States. Hey out there. I am not looking for a wink, but a twinkle --- a playmate for life. I have been addicted in the past to squash and Pilates, but life in LA is all about being outside. So I've been riding on my bike through alleyways, getting a flavor for the local people, buying fresh produce and homemade licorice at the farmer's markets. Don't get me wrong, I'm a girl who likes going to the hippest gallery openings, concerts, and plays too. In fact, I thrive on being around creative people. My own can be seen in the way I've raised my children (filmmaker and fashion designer), run my business (a high-end accessories company), and dress (I'll leave that to the imagination). Oh, AND ONE THING YOU'LL NEVER BE WITH ME IS BORED........
I am a music junkie I guess that comes with having lived in Seattle for 18 years. I just got this amazing music system it's like being at a concert. I have been really amused listening to Jamaican Talk Show radio along with music around the globe. However, I still can't get enough of Neil Young, Adele, Lucinda Williams,Beth Orton, and Trashcan Sinatra. Not to mention lot's of Jazz. Concerts at the Hollywood Bowl or a small lounge venues remain high on my list of things I like to do. And if we do meet ask me for my Sunday morning breakfast you'll be back for more. My potatoes are known throughout the land.

And is looking to have a relationship.
And most of all just hanging out together doing nothing at all cause, we just like it that way..........

Meet people from United States. I'm a good friend, a loyal partner, a devoted mother, and a kind heart. I'm easy to please, and please easily. I can be feisty sometimes. I'm funny and quick. I have a few girlie hobbies, but I know my way around a toolbox.
The man for me is friendly and engaging, with a big heart and a small ego. "Integrity" is his middle name. He has a couple of good friends, and a hobby or two. He's sharp, and has a good sense of humor. He's playful, and a sensual being. He likes RB, and will dance with me. He doesn't drink too much.
Together we're an affectionate couple with shared interests. We like hiking, biking at the beach, and walking around the Farmers' Market. We enjoy having friends over for dinner, or stepping out on the town. When it's raining, we might like to snuggle up and watch a movie, go out to a movie, or play around in the rain. We like the theatre, comedy clubs, and live music. We like getting away for the weekend. We stay on top of what's going on in the world, and we like to share our thoughts and feelings. We know how to make each other laugh, and we still feel excited about life. We're good people at our core.
I normally wear my hair long and lighter (that's me in the silver dress in September 2009), but in early 2010, I went shorter and darker (regrets, I have a few!). The profile picture and the close-up were both taken on June 30, 2012, so that's the current look. I only included the other because I'm leaning toward changing back.

Date someone special from California, United States. Cherishing life- being grateful... lessons learned well!
Work has evolved (having put in my time working 10 yrs in aerospace). Now it is my passion- to share music (private teaching and music therapy); and the people I see every day are delightful and fill me with joy.
I keep busy running off to yoga classes (defying my birthdate of 11-53), exploring, cycling, writing a children's music book, haunting art galleries and museums, reading (even while walking in the neighborhood!), and volunteer work in the community (docent @ Skirball Cultural Center).
Keeping a balance of spiritual, physical and intellectual in my days is important, as are stimulating relationships.
I would like to meet a very intelligent Jewish man that thoroughly enjoys his career and has other, perhaps creative interests as well. We don't need to share them all, but it would be fun to have overlaps- some to enjoy together and others to talk about later.
Passionate, respectful, comfortable.. magical yet practical; able to work out day to day problems and discuss dreams- a delicious companionship. Being able to live together and share the full spectrum of emotions and senses.
Mutual respect and support of the other person's needs and desires- a true partnership!.
And: Good relationships take a lot of work, but it should be a joyful labor- with laughter and fun sprinkled throughout the process. Trust and respect are the keys in creating a lasting friendship of any kind.. I'd love to hear from you-wink away!!!

Meet men and women from California, United States. I'm a basically cheerful, well adjusted, energetic, caring, generous, intellectually curious, low maintenance woman who's lived a good life so far. I have few regrets, no demons, and I did not survive a dysfunctional childhood. Quite the contrary. I had a fabulous childhood, with amazing parents.
I've lived in California for all but 5 of my 58 years. (And yes, I really am 58--I never lie about my age. Quiz me: I was in the 4th grade when Kennedy was assassinated).
But here I am, looking for love. Sure. Why not? Falling in love is one of the most wonderful experiences in the world. Being loved is the best there is. I've loved and been loved a few times in my life and if I can squeeze in one more, that would be great. And if not, I'd be happy with some quality friendships and satisfying companionship. Those, even without love, count plenty.
If you like the outdoors, (but are not necessarily a serious outdoorsman), prefer a quiet evening to a noisy bar, value good health and fitness, like people and books, have a sense of adventure, an open mind, are upbeat, honest and playful, are a good listener, patient and fun....take a chance and see who's behind this profile.
My life is full as is, but it would be fuller (and a lot more fun!) with someone to share dinner, theater, walks, interesting conversation and ........maybe more.
[i am currently living in Santa Monica but divide my time between here and Mountain View, California. (You know, where google is located?!). Will explain should we meet....]
