Date women from United States / California / Sherman Oaks, 44 year old

Date someone special from Sherman Oaks, United States. I'm a traditional girl with an artistic soul... a truly balanced blend of femininity and independence. (some Ginger and some Mary Ann) Enthusiastic, playful and fun yet professional, sophisticated and goal oriented. I'm originally from the East Coast, but can't resist the terminal sunshine of LA. To be completely transparent, I'm looking for someone genuine that wants something real and long lasting, friendship is where it all starts, but please note...I'm not looking to just "play & hang out." I have a fun, outgoing personality but truly desire something personal, intimate and sincere. I come from a family of happy marraiges, my parents just celebrated their 50th this past March, I just love that -
An interesting tidbit about me, I was a cruise director / singer for 5 yrs and had the good fortune of traveling around 3/4 of the globe, but I'm not quite done ... just looking for the RIGHT travel companion! It also brought out the adventurer in me - scuba diving, scaled some glaciers in Alaska, and was able to ride some "not-so-friendly" camels in Morrocco -whew! While that was 10/15 yrs ago, my adventurous spirit remains - sky diving anyone??

- Don't take yourself too seriously

My closest friends describe me as:
"Feisty but friendly, silly, playful, devoted, energetic, vibrant, creative, supportive"... (good thing I paid them :)
Please note, I'll do my best to get back to you asap, please know it's nothing personal, it's often challenging to respond to everyone in a timely fashion - thanks and best of luck in your search!!

Meet a soulmate from Sherman Oaks, United States. Gentle soul, looking for trusting and fulfilling relationship. Both a friend and a lover. Not interested in games or dishonesty....whats the point of that? Good conversation, great chemistry, willing to see where it goes.

Date a woman from Sherman Oaks, United States. Nice girl who's looking for some fun and companionship. I have lived in LA for 20 years and work in the entertainment business. Originally, I'm from Arizona where my mom and dad still reside. It's a beautiful state, but much too hot. Hiking and the outdoors is my love and California is the perfect place for that. There is so much to do and see here. Although I could do without the traffic.
The One I'm Looking For:
I'd rather be with a guy who has big dreams and no money than a guy with no dreams and big money. I love a man with a sense of humor.. who can hold me spellbound with a story or make me laugh until I cry. The right man not only fascinates me but also brings out the best in me. We push each other to be the best we can be. If you're comfortable in your own skin, have a strong sense of self and aren't afraid to expose your flaws, I'm sure we'll get along just fine.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I am a positive, passionate woman with a loving heart. I love life and have a strong sense of spirituality and appreciation for life's blessings. I am loyal and honest, sensitive as well as strong. I truly believe with all my heart, that life is a gift meant to be treasured every single day.
I am an artist in both my personal and professional life. I have created special effects for the film industry for well over 15 years. I also create personal art in many forms; charcoal figure drawing, figurative sculpture in oil clay, faux finishing and murals, and paintings in acrylic. I love learning new art forms, mediums and techniques, and I am thankful to work in an industry where I'm always learning.
I love traveling! I have been to Hawaii (Kauai, Oahu and Maui), England (hiked across the Lake District with Sierra Club), Paris, and across the Mediterranean on a cruise. I want to go back to Italy and see Pompeii, Florence, and much more of Rome. I would love to go to Australia, the big island of Hawaii, and the Caribbean. I absolutely love the ocean; snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, jet skiing and sailing. I prefer to go off the beaten path and explore ancient sites, museums and local hideaways and go on unique adventures. I grew up here in LA, in the mountains, so I have a strong affinity with nature and the outdoors.
As much as I love to travel the world, I also truly appreciate walking along the ocean watching the sunset (or the moon rise), hiking in the mountains, or having a romantic evening at home. I enjoy classic as well as modern movies. My taste in film as well as music is very eclectic; I am inspired by 1970's Joni Mitchell, Dead Can Dance and Underworld, Cal Tjader, just about any music with soul. I am very adventurous by nature, and I am always open to new, fun experiences. I am a bit of a foodie: I love cooking and going to farmer's markets to find new things to experiment with. I love sushi, eastern Indian, Greek, Mediterranean and Thai cuisine.
I am looking for a partner to share this amazing life with. (I am NOT a serial dater or into the bar/club pickup scene. If you are here on Match with the sole purpose of finding a superficial hook - up or booty call, that is not what I am looking for.) I am an amazing woman with a lot to offer and I am looking for a real, honest, amazing man and a meaningful, mature, happy relationship. Qualities that I possess which are equally important in my partner are honesty, loyalty, romantic and affectionate, sensual and passionate, intelligent, funny, mature but willing to have fun... Definitely seeing life's ups and downs with the 'glass is half full' mentality. I love the saying, "Bloom where you are planted". Life will always throw us unexpected challenges; the important thing is to have humility and faith and know that God is in charge. A strong sense of spirituality and a true love for life are very important. A man who is full, happy and confident in his life right now, and looking for an amazing woman to share his joy with. Time is important; I love to be spontaneous and run away for the weekend, travel, and/or spend quality time together. I love a great laugh and a good sense of humor. I am attracted to an adventurous spirit who is willing to try new experiences. Life has so much to offer, and it is even better with a kindred spirit by your side! If what I have said resonates with you, I look forward to hearing from you!
