Date men and women from United States / California / Walnut Creek - page 44

Date men and women from California, United States. To be a great match, you would share my passion for travel, adventure, and family. I am definitely a "glass is half full" person, preferring to be in the company of upbeat, positive thinking people. Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I believe I'm someone who can be a trusted friend. I enjoy intellectual stimulation. I love to learn, to discuss, to listen to opinions that differ from my own. I enjoy traveling, in and out of the country, as well as just getting out of the house on weekends. Spending time at home with someone special is also really nice.... I love to cook. I respect other's privacy and enjoy quiet time as well. I prefer outdoor exercise and get bored in a gym, but will do it anyway because it's good for me. I scuba dive and snow ski; I'm somewhat impulsive - I don't need alot of time to plan anything...I enjoy taking some risks...I think it keeps life more interesting. I like to see the "half-full glass of water"; life is way too short to spend time complaining. It's so difficult to write who I'd like to date -- someone who isn't negative and someone basically kind. The rest we learn about each other.I'm looking for someone who is down-to-earth; someone who is ambitious with a love of life and a positive outlook. My dream would be to be with someone for my life whom I love and respect above everyone else. My wish would be that he would care the same for me; that we would feel we were "soul-mates". I would hope that he he has experienced life enough to realize what's most important: family, friendship, loyalty, kindness, and love. I would want him to have and express his own opinions, to laugh easily and be somewhat impulsive with a wit and sense of humor I connect with. I'm not looking for someone off the cover of Men's Journal but someone comfortable with himself, which is always masculine....and with kind eyes. I have no dream image. If we connect, we'll know it, and then looks hardly matter.

Date someone special from California, United States. Warm and affectionate personality, ready to kiss and cuddle at any time! It is time for laughter, love, and living life joyously! I am ripe for sharing passion, intimacy, and devotion. While sensual and sensuous, very energetic, and scoring high on intelligence and creativity, you can always count on me to be reliable, dedicated, articulate, straightforward, honest, ethical, extremely capable, kind, highly intuitive, occasionally funny, playful, and always stable, both personally and professionally. The "free" things in life: good health, love, and family, are valued most highly. Children and animals delight me (especially my dog, Bitsy), as well as being outdoors in the sunshine. The visual and performing arts (interior design, photography, film, theater, music, playing guitar, acting, singing, dancing) are a passion! Singing with live accompaniment is always a thrill. Striving for a personal best in physical fitness, working out rigorously is a must. Best of all is the sense of accomplishment and the joy of a hot shower after a hard workout! Activities such as swimming and snorkeling; rigorous walking; landscape design and gardening; gourmet, creative cooking and baking (especially with home grown produce); travel (especially international); museums and art fairs; and being on or near a body of water, are relaxation. Staying at home (especially cuddling in bed next to a glowing fire) or going "out on the town," is fun, as long as "my man" is next to me! Favorite TV: HBO, KQED, and a few network shows. Home is comfortable (I designed and built it from dirt up), organized, and functional (my interior design business and office suite is attached). The garden is luscious, and summer presents an incredible home grown feast for the eyes and dinner table! Every amenity is included, to share with the right man! My ideal partner is a gentleman who is seeking an exclusive, committed relationship. He is honest, intelligent, reliable, affectionate, sensuous, and humorous!

Meet people from California, United States. I was born in Madrid, Spain where I lived until I graduated from HS, at the Ursulinas (French School). After that the whole family moved to a So. American Country. As a foreign exchange student I lived for two years in Midtown Manhattan, went to NYU and enjoyed very much the energy and culture of New York and the East Coast. Moved back to So. America and worked for a multinacional corporation as an Insurance Risk Manager. In 1979 I was transferred to their headquarters in San Francisco and inmediately fell in love with the beauty, diversity and culture of the Bay Area and S.F became my home since.
While living in SF I was very involved with the visual and performing arts, Opera, Symphony, Ballet and the Museums.
I have traveled extensively all over the world, Italy, France, Spain, London, Egypt, Turkey, Morocco, Israel, Australia, China, India and lived in Japan and Hong Kong for a while.
I'm genuine and have an upbeat personality, curious, spontaneous, like to do things in the spur of the moment, a good sense of humor, optimistic. Love cooking, eat healthy. I'm fortunate with good health and good genes. I don't look my age and I'm younger than my years in both though and action. I love family and kids and at this time in my life I'm enjoying the simple things in life.
I'm looking for a man who is truthful, intelligent and affectionate, has learned from his past mistakes and is happy to be who he is right now. I would like to find that special man with good moral values who wants to make this new journey the best one of his life, love to continous learning and exploring new things, but also enjoys quite times at home and the simplicity and little things of everyday life.

Date a woman from California, United States. I am an active person, still working part time because I love my job. I also love to get out, and spend time both traveling (humanitarian, and pleasure) and backpacking when I can. I already have a busy life, between kids, grandkids, work, travel and camp time, but i would love to be in a relationship with someone who shares these interests. At least to start, i am looking for a relationship which preserves some independence on both sides. I have my share of idiosyncrasies, but no major drama and I think no more baggage than most.
I live alone in a house I own and enjoy, and I am still chipping away at developing it. I have three kids whom I do not see often enough, although two now live pretty close. My work schedule is pretty flexible, which allows me to take trips when the opportunity presents itself, and I really enjoy travel. I am reasonably fit (managed the 8 mile days and 1500' climbs with a backpack on the Lost Coast last month) but I'm distinctly lazy when it comes to the gym. My sport of choice is backpacking (the slow suits me fine) but I used to love soccer and often think of trying tennis (sadly, I am not athletically gifted...one foot in front of the other is my forte). I love music, but am not gifted, and would enjoy getting into more dance.
Crafts are also something I enjoy, and spend time doing when I have a chance. I am an OK cook (a few signature dishes, but don't whip up gourmet meals out of nothing) but am a fairly mean baker and make literally hundreds of cookies come holiday time.
Compassion is the most important virtue i can think of, and helping people is important to me.
Under disclaimers, I am NOT a jazzy and "with it" person. As a friend once complained "you don't even know the pop songs from when you were a teen" So true. I am a child of the 60's, but most of the happenings passed by me, while I was mired in studies. While others were protesting Viet Nam, i was still trying to figure out the Holocaust. On the other hand, I am trying to catch up...a bit.
I am looking for a relationship with someone who loves the out of doors, loves travel, and loves kids and people (loving animals is OK also). I am a hopeless romantic, but prefer to move into intimacy slowly (not glacially, however). I dream of sharing road trips, poking in out of the way places, and laughing about funny events and odd occurrences.
The person I would be interested in would have a serious side, but a good sense of humor. They would be physically active. They would be tolerant, and interested in a wide range of people and views. They could be religious, or just spiritual but not either extreme (hidebound in a strict religion, or militantly atheistic).
Goals for the rest of my life (which I am not likely to give up) Continued travel...Angkor Wat, The Wonderland Trail, more of Bhutan, Tibet, more of the PCT, a month or more on the coast, seeing my grandkids grow up, and getting them into backpacking and into service work, doing some serious writing, learning Spanish, finishing more of my back yard... I am sure there is more, enough prattle for now!!

Meet men and women from California, United States. I prefer men that are intelligent, considerate of others, a good conversationalist, neat appearance, able to appreciate people of all backgrounds and age, a healthy lifestyle and responsible in general. I enjoy a variety of activities mentioned in my following profile. No matter how many interests we may have in commom, one really has to meet a potential partner in person to determine whether the two personalities are a possible match. We all make ourselves sound perfectly wonderful and I am not implying that we are not; however, the attributes that inspire one may not necessarily attract another. I think we all react differently to different types of people. In orther words, a variety of an individual's personalities come into focus with different stimulus.
I usually have a good time no matter what the main activity might be in the way of an entertaining outing. I normally go out to participate in activities I enjoy., I am able to converse on a variety of subjects without considering myself an expert or specialist in one particular field. I am neatly put together and have a reasonably good sense of humor. Like most people, I enjoy having a good time and fun when I am out or even when the time is spent at home.

My favorite fantasy is having a travel companion to share the places both near and far. There is so much to experience rt here in the US and Canada. Taking off in a camper or SUV to see the breathtaking West, would be terrific, Even with the cost of gas!!!
I think chemistry plays a big role in attraction...but getting to know someone first is crucial to me...A coffee or drink date is an excellent way to first see if that illusive attraction is there.
