Date a woman from Santa Monica, United States. Like many, I was drawn here by the weather, the energy, the beach, the culture, and the sun! Been here for a little more than a year and feel like my feet are finally on the ground. Whew. Work keeps me really busy, so blah blah blah, it's hard to meet new people. And so now I find myself here. On the Matchbook. My ideal date is someone who is driven, handsome, fun, quick on his feet, smart, values family, loves the beach, and can adapt to almost any setting/situation. I'm super fun, chill, grounded and down to earth.Thinking that if my friends can meet great guys through this crazy venue...then so can I. Good things are not good if left unsaid, so cheers to summer, I look forward to hearing from you.
Meet someone special from California, United States. I'm an independent person, fitness enthusiast, writer, artist, musician and animal lover~ I am funny, romantic, spiritual, sensual, honest, outgoing and seeking someone with similar attributes and interests. I am a busy girl. I eat/cook very healthy. I love to watch and participate in sports and travel. One can never travel enough... And I hate to say it as much as I like to backpack, hike and wing it... I love fine hotels - my one weakness! I cannot live without music, espresso, sushi and my dogs lol. I think outside the box. I love to be mentally challenged and learn new things from others. I can be very funny at times and I love to laugh. I especially like an ambitious person that still likes to delegate much quality time with me. I believe in doing things for others without something in return. I am extremely loyal, caring and trustworthy. My friends and family are very important to me. I hope to one day meet someone who enjoys sharing the same. Oh... and my photos are all taken within the last 60 days.
*PLEASE READ*: Gentlemen, please do not contact me if you do not live an active lifestyle, AND esp. if you are too discrete to put up your photos ( clear, recent ones) ...unless you were formerly/presently CIA or are running for US candidacy. (NO EXCEPTIONS). I admire your intelligence, humor and wit, but there must be a physical attraction. Let's not waste each others time right? I don't want to communicate back and forth for you to email me photos. With that said I appreciate photos of art, the ocean, the sunset, graphic design projects you did, your photography, your car, new sunglasses, but for now I'm here to meet you. :) thanks ~

I enjoy getting outdoors to hike, ski, spend time at the beach and see the world. I also love down time with a great book, a long walk, the perfect glass of wine or quality time on the couch.

Date someone special from United States. I appreciate your generosity of time to read about who I am. Below is me talking about what I value. Whether or not you are inspired to contact me, I wish you the best fortune a deserving man can have - a healthy, successful and satisfying life with an amazing woman by your side.
What brings me pleasure:
A man with integrity who chooses to put our relationship first and keeps his agreements with me. Both university and graduate education feels best. I value a man's intelligence and street smarts as well as his ability to speak accurately, eloquently and truthfully.
I respect and admire honesty, integrity, honor and stoic capacity in a man. Also, kindness and attention to children but not allowing permissiveness. I have a gentle sense of humor and enjoy laughter but not at someone else's expense.
A man who is open to being an excellent husband to his amazing wife and a good man in the world.
I don't feel comfortable with touching or kissing until I feel comfortable enough with our long-term compatibility, which includes compatible communication styles and enough chemistry.
He leads and takes initiative.
We live in a serene, private and beautiful home surrounded by nature perhaps with an ocean view. Our home is secure and possibly gated. We do not hear any dogs barking, music or other noises that don't feel good to me. We don't have to see anyone if we do not want to.
Our lives and values fit well.
We both have healthy lifestyles (no alcohol, smoking, etc)
I don't dislike animals however do not want them as part of my household. I won't marry a man who has dogs or other indoor pets.
We enjoy time together, conversation and stay connected throughout the day.
He feels inspired to be a better man around me and I feel more and more relaxed and happy around him.
We have monogamous, committed and joyful sensual and sexual intimacy.
A man who appreciate my external and internal beauty and values virtue.
Going for a walk, a bike ride or playing tennis together. Affection.
Sitting reading together or he is watching sports while I work on something I enjoy.
Visiting friends and family for short times and then being so happy to be alone together.
Vacations are okay however we love our regular lives.
Our "we" outranks everyone else.
I love sitting in front of the fire relaxing, enjoying the beauty of fresh tulips, reading on soft welcoming couches, gazing out at the ocean through floor to ceiling windows and sitting in a patch sunshine.
I enjoy bringing the flowers, beauty, warmth and "home" while being receptive to his tangible generosity.
I'm a joyfully receptive, appreciative, creative, sensual, virtuous, and affectionate woman who is willing to be "caught" by the right man. My husband will feel more inspired and powerful around me. I have passions and interests that he supports and I am supportive of him. I enjoy feeling provided for and cared for and being receptive, vulnerable, respectful, grateful and appreciative.
If you have grown off-spring, they are trustworthy, self-supporting and independent. I'm available for a monogamous, continuous relationship marriage-bound relationship with the the right honorable provider, protector and cherisher.
When I have a meltdown and am irrational, irritating and illogical, you remain gentle, cherishing and grounded without debating, raising your voice or getting defensive. I feel comfortable with your ability to think rationally and logically under all types of pressures. My biggest passions are writing and communication.
I'm old-fashioned and believe in traditional courtship without physical intimacy until after I'm married and feel comfortable.
Meet a soulmate from United States. I would like to find that person who "gets" me. I can be really serious one minute and a total dork the next. I want someone who I can laugh with! A lot! This city can be a little crazy and I think that surrounding myself with good friends is what keeps me level, I essentially would like to find a guy that I feel just as comfortable with, but with all the sparks. I would love to meet someone that just loves life, and wants to enjoy it. Someone that might give me the nudge and be inspired to be a bit more spontaneous.... like just picking up my bags to go somewhere last minute. I also want to be with a person that can enjoy the simple things.. watching a movie and cooking dinner at home can be some of the best times. I would like to meet a man that isn't afraid of a strong woman who has an opinion. I feel like I am a very good listener and have been told I can read others moods and thoughts well. I guess I feel like everyone has something to offer, and I love meeting all kinds of people. Meaning, I want to be with someone that is relaxed and can hang anywhere. I am just as happy at a dive bar as I am an elegant restaurant, I'd like to go hiking with someone and just taking in what this pretty state has to offer. I'd like to meet a man that will show me his world through his eyes. I want to learn and grow as a person, and meeting your "match" in life should reveal things and places within yourself that you might have never discovered if it weren't for that relationship. I feel like I am not the same person I was 2 years ago, and a completely different woman then I was 10 years ago.... The obvious haven't changed: my core values of faith, integrity, and love for friends and family.
Date a woman from United States. Loyal, honest, fun loving, hard working, love ridiculous movies like Old School, Bachelor Party, love books and sports, great friends, excellent wine and dinner parties, very good hot strong coffee, travel travel travel.
. I like to think I'm a good person with a good heart, that cares about my friends and family. I work hard but I like to have fun as well. I like being around genuine people who care about others and treat people how they want to be treated. I also love sports and can't imagine life without the NBA and NFL...
. I am a small business owner and enjoy what I do. I make my own hours and appreciate my 'me time'. I am a triathlete, yogi, nerd and a beach bum. I heart cooking and am very creative in the kitchen. I don't eat meat but love to explore new recipes. I am a loving and loyal friend and enjoy planning fun adventures with my friends. I believe that if you surround yourself with good people, then good things are bound to happen. My family is extremely important to me….they continue to teach me love, humility, and virtue. I travel well alone and have taken myself all over the world. The best concert I've ever seen is Radiohead! I love everything from reggae to the top 40 and like a spontaneous dance party. I don't watch TV but you can throw on the Breakfast Club anytime. I like to read before lights out my bookshelf is as diverse as the music on my iPod. On a typical Friday night I am hosting a dinner party, riding my Cruiser painting the town or playing poker with the parents . I like juke boxes and wine bars - and a wine bar with a juke box would be amazing.
I'm looking for someone emotionally present, smart, funny, fit, cute and tall. Someone that is not afraid of challenges, is balanced, does not give up easily, and has a sense of adventure and spontaneity. Someone who is dependable and supportive, that is looking for an equal partner - not someone to take care of. A man that appreciates life and recognizes how incredibly blessed he is each and every day. A man that is mature enough to not play games and brave enough to commit to lifes loves. A person that recognizes their faults and knows how to take life lightly. A surfer, an explorer, an intellect, an artist, a master of his domain, a confidant, a climber, a lover, and an inspiration.
. I just could not write anything here. I cant write about myself. It feels absurd. I may have been a publicist for too long.
Here is what my best friend says. Look at this as a sort of recommedation - like Angie's List because I did not pay her to say it.
"To me, Erika is a zany bombshell. She is a pretty blond, so you think she would be stuck-up, but instead when she opens her mouth she's funny and warm and friendly. She'd be my first pick for my basketball team!"
