Date women from United States / California / Simi Valley, 49 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Hello,
Thanks for viewing my profile. I am a down to earth woman with a great sense of humor and light-hearted attitude towards life. I am very athletic and play tennis on a regular basis.
I am originally from NYC and tend to be very straight forward with lots of quick witted dry humor. I have 3 stunning sons over the age of 18 and well on their way to their own success's. I love having most of my time to myself now for my own pursuits. I pride myself on being a very responsible and thoughtful person and have my life very well together.
I would like to meet a nice,attractive, intelligent man for a potentially long term relationship.
I think that if there is an initial attraction I would be interested in meeting. I don't care for prolonged emails, conversations or texts. I would just like to meet, see if there is a spark and go from there.
I look like my pictures, they were all taken within 6 months.

Meet someone special from California, United States. So, about me and who I'm looking for? About me should be the easy part, however, it's really not so easy to write about myself in one small paragraph, but here goes anyway...........I am light-hearted, honest to the core, can be serious, but love to be silly and laugh. People I know always describe me as dependable, as boring as that sounds! I believe in integrity and commitment, and will always be there physically and emotionally for those I care about. I am very active and athletic and enjoy many activities such as tennis, skiing, running, hiking and ping pong. (Yes, ping pong is a sport and you can even work up a sweat!) I have been going to the gym for years and years to stay in great physical shape, but mostly because I think exercise is key to becoming a centenarian!
My most prized accomplishment is raising my three amazing kids one of which is an adult, the other two, twin teens, but they think they're adults! I enjoy spending time with my kids; I only have a little while before they'll all be on their own. But they are old enough and self sufficient enough for me to enjoy my privacy and have time to spend doing what I want to do and to date.:)
I think most of us on this website and in our age range have a story. Most are divorced, some are widowed, some never married, but we are all searching for something. Many of us are determined to find the "perfect" match because we are afraid of making another mistake in a relationship. Honestly, I don't think any of us will ever just come across our perfect match or if it even exists. A long lasting relationship, in my opinion, takes effort on the part of both participants. I have to admit that in the beginning, there must be chemistry or there's not much motivation for further exploration. But, we all know that after a few dates, that initial chemistry morphs either into something more meaningful or fades away and dies. So, with that said, I don't have a "blueprint" of who I am searching for as people are so diverse and have so many distinct qualities. I am sure that I am attracted to intelligent, witty men who are educated and have a zest for their successes in life. I am drawn to men who are loyal, honest and have a great sense of humor. You gotta love to laugh!! I'm not so much into serial dating. Once I decide I like someone, I tend to want to spend time with them exclusively.
I prefer emails over winks, talking on the phone over texting, and while I appreciate the ease and convenience of communicating electronically, I am one of those people who still handwrites thank you notes and letters. It's so much more exciting to receive a real letter or card in the mail than on the computer; at least for me. Of course, my kids think I'm incredibly old fashioned in this sense! If you want to get to know me better, send me an email-don't worry, I won't make you mail me a letter............at least not until the 2nd or 3rd date! :)

Whatever happened to meeting someone at a friend's BBQ, nice next door neighbor or someone from church?!? I miss the good old days when I was asked out in person, however shy and awkward that may have been, it still beats text or email. Well, you gotta love this day and age, right?
My kids are older and lives on their own now. I've been told 1) I look much younger than my age (most people thinks I'm in my 30's) so I tend to attract younger crowd, but NOT because I'm immature by any means :-) 2) I'm different than most women - in a positive way; pretty low maintenance, I know how to read a road map and I'll tell you what's wrong if you ask so be careful what you ask for.. :-) 3) I'm VERY easy to talk to.. I listen well without passing any judgment.
I love my work, love even more to serve at church. I'm pretty much of a simple person, try to "go green" and make a difference somewhere or to someone no matter how small that may be.. I'm an optimist so I prefer not to be around pessimists. I'm content on my own, but would love to find a man to share the joy, laughter and happiness. He would be head-over-heels for me, just as I would for him; he can't wait to talk/see me and adores me for who I am, just as I would for him; he accepts and loves every part of me, just as I would for him; he is still thankful for me, even when I'm mad at him - OK, maybe that was too much to ask :-) I'd be happy with a man who uses less hair products than I, someone who knows the difference between too two, your you're, there their - need I continue? After all, I'm the foreigner here, right? :-)
I tend to be attracted to a tall, slim Caucasian with blue eyes and I'm a sucker for a guitar player. I'm a frugal person who appreciates what I have knowing there are others who have less. Luxuries are nice, but not a necessity. Very comfortable in my own skin and don't mind dressing up once in a while, but most comfortable in shorts and sandals.
Summer is here and it's time for weekend camping trips!! Just got back from fishing and swimming in Kern River, hiking in Yosemite and beach camping. Kings Canyon is next and would love to find that special man to share it with..

Meet a soulmate from Simi Valley, United States. I am just a normal hard working girl looking for a normal guy who is interested in a possiblle long term relationship and not just a once a month hookup. I have a great sense of humor and hope to find someone who can really make me laugh.
I am an open and honest person and I like to do different things from golfing to traveling or simply dinner and a movie. I am financially stable and have been at my job for the last 14 years and I own my own home. I like to think of myself as a good person who is there for you when you need me. I am the girl who will pick you up at the airport- LOL.
I am hoping to find someone who is trustworthy and easy going and also likes to try new things and is a good person as well.
Although I have no kids of my own, I do love kids and understand that they come first in a relationship.
So Let's meet and see where things go..

Date someone special from Simi Valley, United States. Hi I'm Debbie... Seeking to connect with a quality guy....
A guy who is emotionally available and not playing any games or unsure about what he wants.... Are you out there?
I live in Simi Valley and I work for a commercial real estate & bridge loan company in Calabasas Hills.
I am also a mother of three amazing kids... a daughter 24, a son 20, & another daughter 16.
They are my greatest motivation and inspiration in life!
I love the beach, going to the theater, movies, concerts, trying different restaurants
(fine dining as well as fun dives!), going to sports venues...I'm a HUGE Dodger & Laker fan!!
I've been an artist as long as I can remember (REALLY...I can actually paint and draw!) & love being creative...
cooking, interior design , home improvement projects, graphic design... etc.
I can appreciate a man who is into his own interests too!
I believe the most successful relationships have a balance...
You do what you like.... I do what I like.... we do things we like together...
It's all about compromise and EVERYONE is happy!!!
Of course, everything boils down to chemistry, doesn't it?...
That's essential! So any activity is enhanced by the one you have chemistry with!
I can tell you that I'm honest, classy, kind, interesting, exciting and funny (or so I've been told!). I am looking for a life partner, someone who is ready for a committed one on one relationship built on a foundation of communication, trust, intimacy and great fun. If you are a serial dater just pass, let's not waste each other's time. I'm not into long drawn out e-mail relationships. I would much rather talk the old fashioned way or meet. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends but I most enjoy the companionship of a great man. I try to take care of myself. My latest pastime is experimenting with recipes that are healthy but still taste wonderful. I take pleasure in a good glass of wine or other adult beverage, but my bar scene and partying days are over, they were fun but I'm just not available for that at this point in my life. Let's go out for a great dinner and a show, host a dinner party, go to a friends cookout or I will cook an intimate meal for 2. Hungry? I am not into drama. If I have feelings for you I will do everything I can to make you happy and feel secure. I know what it takes to make a relationship work for the long haul. I also now know when it is not fixable. A great partner is the most important thing in my life. I don't take it lightly and expect the same in return. Interested?
Looking forward to hearing from you...
Life is too LONG to spend it alone! Good luck to all!

Meet a woman from Simi Valley, United States. So the basics. I have three amazing kids: 24, 21 and 18. Two live at home...I think. I hardly see them, lol.
I'm a court reporter for L.A. Superior Court, criminal division for 21 yrs. Totally love it. It's serious work, but I'm still an optimist about people, and the job hasn't crushed my spirit.. In fact, right now, I'm the happiest and most content I've been in years. Sleep like a baby. Life is absolutely great, but I get bored on the weekends, and I want someone to go play with...I'm looking for THE one. The best one. My bud, my sidekick, bestfriend, co-conspirator, and lover. I want it all.
I would love to go to concerts, unique and delicious restaurants. I love hiking (early) and drives up the coast. I haven't been to a sporting event in years, but when I go you'd think I was the team's biggest fan. And well, if you wanted to take that cruise, or safari or boat down the Amazon...how fun would that be? Pool party at Vegas? Hell yes! Spa in Palm Springs...ahhh, very nice.
I read most of the top best sellers, and as soon as I've finished, I have to get another book, like NOW. What's a bubble bath without books and wine? I read the Times every day, and stay pretty tuned in to what's going on. NPR helps too.
I like to hit the gym between 3 and 5 times a week, and have become addicted to the sweat and rush of endorphins. Such a great feeling.
I'm not jealous or possessive at all and can't abide a man who is.
I'm looking for a college educated, warm-hearted man who loves his family, and they love him.,,yes, even his ex (es?) He is a loyal friend. Totally grown-up with no Peter Pan issues. A serious man, but can laugh at a dirty joke. Smiles easily. A man who will head to the city for some fun, or camp in the dessert to watch the sun rise. He's curious and willing to check things out, but let's me kickback if I want on a Sunday afternoon too.
I'm looking for that elusive man...the one who encourages and supports me, challenges me. Respects who I am. Catches me when I fall, dances with me through life, calls me on my bs... and I want to be all of that for you. Your biggest, most devoted and loving fan. Always. I used to want only a pal. Now, I want to fall in love again.
I'm pretty patient...but I'm also ready to find you. I'm sick of waiting. Please stop hiding and show yourself to me.
I can't wait to find you :)
