Date women from United States / California / Santa Monica, 41 year old

Date someone special from Santa Monica, United States. Because there are so many people to connect with on the planet in so many different ways, and because of so many other beautiful things, life can feel so full and be so fun, regardless of whether one has a romantic connection. Nevertheless, I would like one. So, while I am someone who knows how to lead a happy life while single, for the long term, I would like a partner with whom to share everything.
The basics about me don't say much about the spirit you'll experience when you meet me. However, you deserve to know the basics!! I tend to work hard at times and am proud of my career, but am equally proud of my progress towards balance. I enjoy being outdoors -- hiking, walking, bike riding, or just hanging out at the beach. In my free time, I will be traveling somewhere or learning to cook more (which is fun even though I didn't use to think so) or working on various home improvement projects. I have been scuba certified for four years now and I love, love, love to see what's under the ocean, even though the whole prospect of it initially terrified me. I adore Hawaii and have a great time there on mini vacations. I always leave with so many new friends. Also on the travel front, last year I went on an amazing trip to Africa and just could not believe my eyes when I saw the animals and more importantly, my heart was moved by the people.
The people in my life here move me, too. My nephews are amazing tiny people who make me laugh and whose love bring me great joy. I feel so lucky to have them pretty close by. My dad is 70 going on 30 with all his athleticism thru running, water-skiing, biking, and my mom is 66 going on 30 with moving to Haiti for a next year to volunteer (I am truly impressed with both of them). I am thankful for having so many awesome friends... My 40th birthday party last year was truly a surprise in so many ways. It was wonderful to feel so touched for an entire evening.
The things I am looking for in a partner: moderation (you are passionate about things, but not overboard on any one thing), humor (it is so easy to make me laugh, so this isn't a high bar), intelligence, and goodness. In a partnership, we should have fun together, enjoy each other's company, have fun together, know how to resolve conflict, have fun together, be incredibly honest with everything, and finally, have fun together. :-)

Meet a soulmate from Santa Monica, United States. I love what I do and enjoy spending time with people who are passionate about what they do too! I dig my alone time and my time with good friendsfamily! I believe that the people in my life should be empowering to me and me to them!

Date a woman from Santa Monica, United States. I'm a sexy, smart, soulful, accomplished woman who is passionate, feminine, affectionate, loving, and health conscious. I was raised in Cambridge, England and NYC, have had more interesting life experiences than anyone I know, recently moved to Santa Monica, and am loving it!
Outside of ski season, I enjoy everything from spontaneous weekend getaways to Ojai, wine country, NYC, caribbean to spending weekends locally, generally doing something physically active in the morning e.g. surfing lesson, paddle boarding, beach volleyball, yoga, tennis, hiking, SM stairs, biking; catching up with friends over lunch, dinner, casual errands/shopping, and live music.
In sum, I prefer to live life the way Larry David writes his scripts (with a short general outline as a starting point and complete flexibility to completely shift gears at any time) and I'm most compatible with men who share my flexible approach to life but are also grounded who also share my optimism (choice to see the possibilities in people and focus on solutions to challenges in life instead of problems).
My ideal match is a good man with a big heart whose priority is his wife and family and whose career serves that end, even though he enjoys it. He really wants to fall in love, get married, and live happily ever after, and is willing to make the effort it takes for that to happen (willing to invest the time to meet in person to see if there is chemistry rather than trying to assess if it does from a profile, email or phone call and willing to make the effort once he finds someone special because in my experience most relationships don't fail, people quit).
Lastly, even though I am always constantly seeking ways to improve myself, someone who unconditionally loves, admires, appreciates me exactly as I am, and is secure enough to let me be me - which at times, especially for work requires me to be a social butterfly and speak with very successful wealthy entrepreneurs because he absolutely trusts me, a trust I would never violate.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I am basically a happy. simple and very sincere person. I want someone who is sensible, loving, caring, kind, honest, sweet, thoughtful, and a responsible person. Someone who has a good sense of humor but is serious about life. He must be a real gentleman and knows very well how to treat a lady.
We must be compatible in more ways than one.We must share the same interests. There is no perfect relationship for nobody is perfect but he must be willing to work things out.
It would be nice to have someone who can carry a good conversation with me. . someone who listens and I would listen to. A two-way give and take relationship is ideal as it shows great respect for one another.
I really hope to find a good and mature person here with sincere intentions.. to find a soulmate and a possible lifetime partner..Let us not waste each other's precious time.. if you are not serious in getting to know me and out there for fun only then I am not the one for you.
For the right person I can do everything to please him and treat him as my King but of course he should know also how to treat his Queen. .I am overflowing with so much love and affection and I want to express it to " The Right One".
Thanks for the time reading my profile..Let's get to know each other well.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'd like to meet someone who has a real zest for life, a get-up and go kind of personality. Someone who can be silly, but have a serious chat too. Someone who is kind, honest and laid back. Someone who's into family, as I am very close to mine.
I enjoy living in Santa Monica, walking to the beach, riding my bike, going for hikes or playing tennis, going to yoga class. Love, love, love eating out and trying the latest places, although I haven't done much of that lately. Either been working or traveling between SM and Texas. Movie nights make me happy too.
I also love traveling and seeing the world. I know everyone says that, but that's because it's true! It would be nice to find someone that has the same ideas about traveling. Someone willing to go almost anywhere and try almost anything too. When in Rome... I'm open to learning and doing new things too.
I'm in Texas now. I just spent the last 4 weeks in the hill country at one of my favorite places in the world. Would love to tell you more about it. It was a great time on the Guadalupe river! I will be back in LA in a couple of weeks.
I hate writing about myself and this whole online thing makes me very uncomfortable. LA is a weird dating place, but I 'd like to meet someone again. I had a wonderful man in my life, but lost him tragically. It's been a slow process, but I'm ready.

Meet a woman from California, United States. Being in sales, interactions come rather easily, until I am the center of attention and it is about me not the product IРІР‚в„ўm representing.

So please read on to see if we have something in common other than our good looks! JK
A little about me. I like to stay busy, but I also know when it is time to relax, stop and literally smell the roses. Which is something I actually do! My friends describe me as funny, loyal, curious, creative, healthy, outgoing, friendly and passionate. I have some secret single girl quirks and I don't always practice what I preach, like don't stand too close to the microwave.
I'm looking for someone who has an open heart and is eternally optimistic. Someone who is ambitious, personable, and thoughtful and is my cheerleader and inspiration as much as I am theirs. Ideally our morals, ethics, values and ideas on family should be in alignment too.
I promise to be an open, honest communicator. Talking through things is important to me as is honoring a commitment. I wear my heart on my sleeve and am realistic. Things are not warm fuzzy all time, but if things are good on paper and the chemistry is there, watch out. We could be unstoppable!

Date someone special from United States. I am a very active, smart, and vibrant girl looking to meet someone with similar interests. My brother is marrying a great girl he met on match.com so I decided to give this a try.
About me: I am a full time professor, and I absolutely love my job! Running is an important part of my life as well as lots of other outdoor activities including cycling, swimming, and snowboarding. This year I ran the Boston Marathon and completed the Hawaii 1/2 Ironman. I'm running the Chicago Marathon in October.
Traveling is also one of my favorite hobbies, and I have visited over 30 countries. Costa Rica is booked for August.
My friends would describe me as outgoing, athletic, independent, goal-oriented, loyal, smart, and giving. I have a lot of great friends that I spend time with as my family is all out of state. I feel lucky to have a great life and look forward to sharing it with someone special.
And yes, I am actually "slender, athletic, and toned."

Meet a soulmate from United States. The first thing people usually notice about me is my smile (I asked) and my hair (thick and wavy) and for those who’ve heard me sing – my voice! Others have said that I’m attractive, funny, sometimes goofy, and enthusiastic. Sophisticated and sexy, but playful and grounded as well. For myself, I can say that I come alive when I sing in front of an audience – singing fulfills me in a way that’s hard to describe.
I really enjoy being РІР‚?coupledРІР‚в„ў and I honestly think life events are more meaningful when you can share them with a partner - especially when both people are compassionate toward each other and always willing to work together to figure things out. That being said, I understand the need for alone time and appreciate the value of cultivating some separate interests so that each person in the relationship remains a whole and complete individual. I think that having this balance of togetherness and time apart is one of the keys to making a relationship work.
Initially IРІР‚в„ўm attracted to a guyРІР‚в„ўs eyes and smile; then thereРІР‚в„ўs that elusive thing called chemistry that you canРІР‚в„ўt manufacture. Ultimately though, itРІР‚в„ўs his sense of humor, his intellect and how he treats others (including me) that get my attention. I especially appreciate and respect a gentleman who knows how to treat a woman and cherish her.
IРІР‚в„ўm looking for a stand up guy who is responsible, affectionate and open to new experiences. He knows when to be serious and when to have fun. HeРІР‚в„ўll have a good heart and a high degree of integrity. HeРІР‚в„ўll be someone who is as into me as I am into him.
If this sounds like you, by all means shoot me an email and let's get started!

Date a woman from United States. I have been told I am fun at parties. Not the "dance on the pool table" kind of fun, but the "a lot of laughs" kind of fun. I like meeting new people. I don't have any children, nor do I plan on having any. I am good with kids and I am cool if the guy I am dating has them, I have opted to not have any of my own.
I am athletic, but not an extreme sport kind of person. But if YOU are... great! I have Bactine and I know how to use it. I play golf, but not as much as I would like. I really enjoy sports, watching and playing. Big fan of live theatre, especially musicals. I enjoy taking long drives in my convertible. I particularly like the really winding roads up in the Encinal Canyon area.
I grew up in a great small lake community 100 miles north of LA. I have a terrific group of friends I just adore up there. I try to visit there once a month to play golf and just hang out with everyone.
My ideal match would be someone who enjoys some of the same things I enjoy, but has his own interests and ideas he would like to share with me.
I hope to hear from you.

. I am originally from Cleveland, Ohio; however I knew at a young age that I couldn't stay there forever (too cold in Winter, too hot/muggy in Summer). I landed in sunny California 12 years ago and have been enjoying the sunshine ever since. I live near the beach because the closest body of water to me growing up was a public pool. I don't often go in the ocean as I have an irrational fear of sharks (saw the movie, JAWS, one too many times) but I love jogging along the beach and hiking in the Santa Monica mountains so that I can get a view of it.
As noted above, I enjoy jogging and hiking, I also like yoga. I wish I could say here that I have more exotic hobbies such as windsurfing or snowboarding -- thing is I am not much of an athlete. Never have been. In high school I was what you'd call a mathlete. I do however greatly appreciate (*envy*) anyone with athletic abilities.
I am looking for someone who has a great sense of humor and isn't afraid to use it. Someone who is relaxed, thoughtful and kind. Someone who admits his family is dysfunctional, but loves them anyway. Someone preferably without kids and someone with a liberal mindset.

. I'm a fun happy person who tries to be optimistic even when things look bad.. I enjoy working out and spending time at the beach on occasions to chill..I'm
Looking for someone to enjoy life with me without playing games

. I would like to find someone who is ultimately wanting a very similar journey. Of course it isn't easy to find this person, but I believe he is out there... I need to have the chemistry along with all of the obvious important details. The love, trust, honesty, caring, laughs, talks, have your back at all turns appreciation etc... the physical is very important too. He should be in touch with mind, body & soul. I am not into head games only the sport kind ;) and a good arm wrestle doesn't hurt! Hey at least a girl can try? :)) I don't intend on being a serial dater, I don't want a serial dater and I am very selective. Please don't take offense if I do not get back to you right away. Good luck in your journey regardless~
