Date women from United States / California / Sausalito, 52 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I feel so grateful to enjoy life, to see every moment as a potential adventure, and to find new and fun things to do and learn every day. I've started over with my life and career and hope to one day share the adventure with an amazing person with whom I share values, interests, lots of fun, and chemistry.
I am a young looking 52, slender (size 4-6) with blond hair and green eyes. I am told I'm pretty, so I will gratefully share that compliment so you don't expect Bridezilla. I take care of my appearance, but I'm not obsessed by it. I'm comfortable in dressy or casual clothes, but I'm mostly casual.
I stay active by biking, hiking, running occasionally, and hurling the javelin (just kidding). I'd like to try more adventurous activities that I couldn't do when I was raising young kids. (Camping, rafting, etc.) I love, love, love to travel, especially if there is learning involved, but also just for fun and relaxation. I love the beach and mountains, and really enjoy trips to Europe and would love to visit many other places I've never been.
I read a lot -- all genres, and I love learning and growing as a person. I also enjoy cultural activities (theater, dance, etc.), going to movies, eating out anywhere with great food, a nice wine, and great conversation with lots of laughter. I have a slightly wicked sense of humor.
I am looking to meet someone who is equally engaged in life, intelligent and funny, down-to-earth, emotionally intelligent, has a kind heart, and who values relationships before career or money (not that those aren't important). Someone who is reasonably fit and health-oriented would be nice too.
In relationships, I am motivated by mature and emotionally intelligent communication and resolving conflict so that both people feel safe and understood. Just about anything can be worked out if both people put the relationship above all else.
Oh, and someone who lives no more then 30 miles away as I'm not into long-distant dating/relationships. And you must love your toothbrush and dental floss--daily--and I mean, REALLY!

Meet a woman from California, United States. Hola! There is nothing better than speaking a foreign language and not really knowing the language. The challenge is always when the person you speak with --does!-- and you have tricked them momentarily.
I am a business woman, an artist, free spirit and a mother. I have faith in God and am excited about meeting my future partner.
I have a giving heart, extremely genuine, sensual, fun to love, never boring- yet often bored. I look the part, but am true to myself. Often described as a piece-of-work... can also be thoughtful and complex. Depth and emotions are attractive to me. Drawn to genuine vs. pretentious personalities-- Acceptance of all faiths, cultures, orientations. Prefer accomplished, balanced, family oriented man with eccentric side. Get excited easily and still have childlike attitude about life. Must find my ditsy, blonde moments endearing, not annoying. Very affectionate physically and seek same from my partner.
Finer things in life are nice, but get pleasure out simple things. Desire an accomplished partner without pretense--'Prefer quaint and cute establishments over public places to "be seen". Festivals, going out to breakfast, people watching are more stimulating to me than the night scene. Enjoy my home and making dinner, small intimate gatherings etc.
My daughter rocks and is a senior in college...she will always be HUGE in my life. Now that my little girl is all grown, I am in the process of moving from Cincinnati back to Sausalito. She will be moving out here when she graduates! I am back and forth between both cities for a couple of months, but will be settled in Marin soon!
At this time in my life-- I am ready to fall head over heals in love, travel, laugh and share a passionate life with my future partner!
Conversations over the phone seem to indicate whether there is the initial chance for the banter and chemistry. I am ready for a committed relationship, so if you are just dating or testing the waters, I am probably not the right woman for you.
I wish you the best in your search!
