Date men and women from United States / California / Ventura, 48 year old

Date people from Ventura, United States. I am looking for a woman who is kind, caring, honest, with good self esteem and integrity. Someone who is happy and fun and likes to dress up and look good and go out. Someone who also likes the outdoors, camping, hiking, backpacking.
Some tidbits about me- Not a big sports fan, sports bars are way to noisy. I always have several personal projects going at once- ranging from things for my ranch to art and furniture. I have dabbled in west coast swing dancing for twenty years- not saying that I am good, but I am comfortable , I know how to lead, and have fun.
I lived in Sweden with a Swedish girlfriend for 6 months back in the mid eighties. I traveled around Northern Europe on the train. I drove on the Autobann in Germany. I went to Octoberfest twice. I lived in the mid west for two years and remodeled an old Victorian house in the mid nineties. I went to Costa Rica four times in the mid two thousands.
I like a cocktail or a glass of wine when I come home from work. I believe in moderation with everything. Not much of a gambler either.
Thats all for now; there is alot more and that you will have to find out in person.

Meet a man from Ventura, United States. This is something I have never done, Write about myself. Hmmmmmmmmm. Ok, here goes, I have never been married. I have traveled so much in the 3 jobs I have had in my life, it has always been hard to keep a relationship going in the right direction to get to the marriage stage. My last relationship was for 10 yrs, with an 9yr daughter going on 16. Travel was the killer here as well. My daughter is so important and I try to have her as much as possible. Mother and I are on very good terms as we both understand it is about our little girl and not being selfish. I love to laugh and have a great time. I don't feel my age, as I have been told I have so much energy and have a great outlook on life. It is about enjoying this life. Every minute. I am very active but always love being with the right lady for a night out or even a cold day watching a movie. I may not be able to sit through the whole movie, but I would probably be up making that someone special woman something very good to eat and drink. I love to cook. I also love to clean and do laundry..I grew up with sand on my doorstep, I love the ocean and beach. Grew up with all girls being the youngest and only boy. I still don't understand women completely nor do I try. Better to just enjoy them. I could go on, but I will tell you what I am looking for,
I was talking with a friend of mine who told me I need to be more specific about the woman I am looking for. I want a relationship. I don't want to be a womans 3rd, 4th or 5th husband. I have met women on this who are looking to get married right away, they don't even know me yet, I don't know them and they have been married 3,4,5 times. Not what I am looking for. I believe it will take at least 6 months just to get to know eachother. Then decide if we want to move forward. A woman who is secure, willing to have fun and laugh with me and at ourselves. Someone who is greatful everyday. Someone who loves to eat my great food, LOL. A women who at the drop of a dime, can be spontaneous with me a go travel somewhere...There is so much I like and want in a women, that sometimes it's impossible to have it all. No one including myself is perfect. Just be you. That should be enough for anyone and if it's not, He's probably not the one anyways.. Hope you find yours as much as I hope I find the one for me.

With or without children is fine by me. I have a 15 year old daughter who is my angel. I work out several times a week (started p90x,ouch)...enjoy playing Basketball and Golf and did coach girl’s soccer (my daughter’s team). I'm not looking for any specific "look" but I do keep in shape and would like someone that values the same. What's inside is as important as what is outside.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. Well what can I say without being cliche? I'm very easy going. I can make the best out of any situation. I like to laugh a lot, tell jokes and not sweat the small stuff. I enjoy girls who can go with the flow. I'm very loyal and I value different personalities. I don't expect a person to be something they are not. My perfect match can accept me for me but understands I will spoil her. I understand that some situations careers and kids come first and I accept that. I like attractive women with dorky sides. A match should be able to laugh at herself. Three things in life that are important to me is God, Family and Friends........my family is everything to me. I'm loyal to the end with all three and when it come to friends I accept them for who they are not who i want them to be. (Forest for the trees)

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I’m a Californian original who’s fit, athletic, attractive and emotionally available. After a long term marriage and getting comfortable with myself and living alone, I’m now in search of my new best friend.

I'm hopeful that this process will be a path to make some new connections and find a man with whom I have good chemistry to share the next phase of my life with.
Take the first step and send an email if you'd like to know more about me.

Meet men and women from California, United States. I enjoy fast cars and going to the races. I like to have fun or just hang out. I'm recently divorced from a 25 year marriage. I have 2 wonderful daughters in their twenties. I'm a kind person with a very big heart. I would love to meet you even as friends to have coffee and walks with.

Date people from United States. I like to travel outside the country. Never feel I'm on vacation unless I leave the states.
I don't like crowds (an instant peevish mood for me).
I speak French fairly well (which means I sound great to anyone who doesn't speak it, but not so great to those who do. Aye, I manage.)
I love my son (8 yrs old).
I grew up in West LA but haven't lived there since I was 20 (I go there often however).
I love dogs but don't own one.
I used to SCUBA dive regularly but it's been about 8 yrs.
I do yoga when I have the time - which is never often enough.
I teach AP Economics and AP Government.
I notice everything.
I'm up-front and have a sense of humor that tends towards pointing out ironies.
I'm inquisitive and curious.
I laugh a lot.
I learn by feeling
I appreciate a good speller.
I appreciate a man with manners (but male chauvinists please move on to someone else).
I just booked a flight to the South of France during the summer.
I don't like people who are judgmental - and can't stand it in myself - but I succumb to it as well - I'm a work in progress.
I respect diverse opinions - but I'm not crazy about extremists.
I'm a Democrat - but not a "die hard" Democrat. When I want to ruffle feathers, I tell people I like Obama because I think he's handsome.
I'm smarter than I let on; I don't play dumb, I just prefer humility. That being said, I also say what I have to say when I have it in me, but I don't fall on every sword.
I believe that life is complicated - which means it can be, at times, ugly and messy. But it is also what makes life rich and beautiful at other times.
I have trouble with people who see things in black and white terms - but I also struggle with embracing the gray.
I think many answers to big questions are not one option over others - they are usually "D. All of the above" - it's hard to wrap one's head around.
I've been wondering lately if this venue lends itself more easily to people with personality disorders. (I apologize for bringing this negativity into the picture - but needed to say it.)
I have a keen sense of intuition; I learn/know things by getting a feel for them.
Sorry if I'm writing this profile dealie in a stilted way - I haven't yet figured out the approach (to this type of "meet people" thing) that suits me best. I do have a warm, disarming nature - I suppose I feel a bit guarded and out of my element in this arena.

Meet a woman from United States. My friends would say that I have a great sense of humor, I am funny at times, and very shy but once I get comfortable I can be a blast, I look for the positive things in life instead of the negative. What makes me smile are the little things in life like picking a daisy from the grass and giving it to someone special. Accomplishments is raising 2 Strong Independent Women that are Beautiful inside and out and achieving their goals in life. I am grateful for a Father that would do anything for his family's survival. I am looking for a man that is not afraid to be that man and that loves unconditionally and has morals, goals, and values and can share the good and the bad time and believe that nothing is impossible. Funny things, Jokes make me laugh. I am looking for a special man for life....... I am not looking for the man that is in it for what he can get. The one thing that I am most passionate is that we need to live life to the fullest and appreciate everyday and to tell then how much they mean to you before it is too late. I think family values and morals are very important but most of all to see that a family of 4 Generations continue on the same path and there is always room to expand a family. A wise man once told me that a woman needs to let the man be a man and never over step him and that he will cherish the family he inherits and there is always room for more family!
