Date men and women from United States / California / Walnut Creek, 47 year old

Date single man from California, United States. Hi, I'm easy going and like traveling both near and far. I'm really into photography and making videos but I'm not a professional. It's just a hobby but I really enjoy it and would like to meet someone to share this with. If you have any interests in going out and seeing the world through a lens then contact me. Another hobby I have is playing drums, again, for fun. I don't do this often, just a few times a year when I visit my buddies in S. CA. I also, love camping on the beach, going on long drives, and seeing new places.

Meet men and women from California, United States. IРІР‚в„ўm very loving and affectionate, smart, articulate and independent, and love to laugh. I'm honest, loyal, and enjoy a strong connection with my partner. IРІР‚в„ўm an old fashioned romantic with a wild side.
I don't take myself too seriously. I enjoy dressing up and can be quite the elegant woman when the occasion arises, but life's way too short to put on airs. Usually, I'm casual, relaxed and have a good time!
I was trained as a chef when I was younger, so I enjoy cooking (usually while I slide around the wood kitchen floor in my bunny socks to music, sipping red wine and singing into my spatula) "Yes, I have ear plugs for guests." I love to dine out too. Good thing I like to exercise! I cook healthy at home except for the occasional fillet and my daily dark chocolate "vitamin" Does the olive in my vodka martini count as a serving of fruit?
I love animals and am revitalized by nature especially the ocean, but really enjoy the culture of the big city. Hence S.F. is the perfect mixture of both for me and a weekly part of my life.
Weekends away with my partner are a favorite too- anywhere up or down the coast, wine country, redwoods, Seattle, San Diego, Cabo, Victoria-
I just got back from Alaska. The glaciers by helicopter were outrageous! Help! I need a travel partner for Italy, New Orleans and any where! Calgon, take me away! If you're under 45, you won't get that last reference.Personal trivia- I once played a dishwasher spot in a school play. Tell me something silly about yourself.
I hike most evenings to catch the glorious sunset, and swim, play tennis and enjoy dance work-outs and weights to stay in shape.
I'm a self-employed stock trader, so I'm free afternoons and basically can take off whenever I want and can work from anywhere as long as there's internet.
I didn't have children, but I did care for a long term partner with cancer, put my husband who was ten years younger through college, and my last partner unfortunately suffered from mental illness. So, I've nurtured, I've financially supported, and I've tried not to pull my hair out through some very shoulder broadening times. Now I feel free to embrace all the wonderful experiences life has to offer.
I'm a reasonably calm, compassionate problem solver even in adverse times. I'm a laugher not a fighter. I'm not very materialistic, but instead value experiences much more. I live in the moment, appreciate, and try to be a "gentle" person. I enjoy being a giver.
I've been single now for two years. I've done the dating thing, and now, my heart is open to a deep, lasting love relationship. I desire having someone in my life that I truly connect with, can't wait to see and hold, and who I can build a sensational future with- full of adventures and great conversation, those inside jokes that only we know, that kiss that makes my back arch, friends, trust, tenderness and passion!

Date people from California, United States. I am native to San Francisco and love everything the Bay Area has to offer, from the ocean to the mountains, and everything in between. I'm a 49er and Giants fan to the core (I don't quote stats or anything, just love the games).
My dream is to go to Italy, mostly because I want to light a candle at the Vatican for my grandmother and mother. Then I want to spend a week on the Almalfi coast, because I love the water. Ideally, I will make this romantic journey with a wonderful man. A man with the right balance of take charge and take care. I'm an independent, successful woman, but that doesn't mean I want to be in charge. I'm a romantic and love the little things like opening the car door or a flower to say hello. I want a man who is not afraid to be romantic and vulnerable, yet has his own aspirations and goals. He wants and appreciates my support and advice, but is strong and independent.
This forum is difficult to convey what the right relationship would look like. My ideal partnership might go something like this; Friday night drinks with friends and maybe stay out too late, sleep in on Saturday. Saturday go for a hike or maybe a street festival or Giants game, then a nice dinner out (not sushi). Sunday, deal with chores and errands, and maybe watch a movie together that evening. Monday, 7 am, start texting about why the stock market is taking a dive and whether to buy or sell the financials. During the week we talk, we strategize, we support, we miss each other and can't wait for Friday night to come again; maybe Monterey or Tahoe this weekend?
Yes I like the stock market. I love the challenge and complexity, not all about money. If I was rich I would be practical like Warren Buffett, charitable like Bill Gates (but give more at home), and entrepreneurial like Oprah Winfrey. Actually, that's probably a good represetation of my values on a much smaller budget!!
So I have been overwhellmed with the amount of time it takes to keep up with match, so I thought I would add a few more details to help you decide to contact me on more than just photos..... if you hear this song "Hot in Hur"' are we dancing or are you a wall flower or have you never heard this song? I'm dancing! Def Leppard is coming in concert soon, who's that or are you up for an old school flash back? I'm going! My name "banning" is from a movie, who am I?
Have a great profile picture and send me some interesting conversation.

Date a woman from California, United States. Here are some alluring words: I'm tallish, European, fit, slender, expressive, spontaneous, have all the right qualities of a decent human being (don't lie about my age), know how to use fork and knife in polite company.
I tend to be attracted to men close to my own age who tickle my funny bone, provoke thought, are easy to look at, easy to hang out with, compliment my cooking, offer me the last slice of pizza...
Love to experiment with food. After discovering a new and delicious dish; I enjoy replicating it, then modifying the ingredients to make it healthy, and, finally, introducing new, tasty elements which, hopefully, lead to a wonderful concoction that satisfies the blend of sensual flavors living in my imagination... but... I suck at BBQing - that's why I need a man.
