Date women from United States / California / Westlake Village, 54 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I feel very fortunate in all things. I've have had a colorful, exceptional life and raised two amazing kids (who are now grown and mostly on their own). I've also had some very interesting careers here and NYC. I like changing it up, seeing new places, trying new things.
Happiest in casual clothes (love all my cowboy boots) but clean up well. I tend towards simple, classic rather than trendy or flashy. I enjoy parties and events, I plan and attend many in my position running a small firm in Malibu.
You can probably talk me into trying almost anything (other than scuba diving or jumping out of a plane, but even then I'll make the plans and have a good time). Tried stand up paddle boarding - loved it! I stay in shape by going to the gym two or three times a week, power walk and do yoga. Need someone to dance, ski and play tennis with, who'll teach me a few new things and maybe learn something from me too. I've been told I'm a good shot, I can drive a golf ball, open to fishing / hunting and not limiting possibilities. I love to take pictures, attend cultural events and museums, spend time with friends and family, I do community service in a number of creative ways.
My family is small and spread out, an uncle in Costa Rica, sister in France, cousins in Florida, dad and brother in NY, my kids are in China and Texas. I don't think I could live in the city anymore (loved Manhattan) but now prefer living near the water or the countryside.
I'm motivated by curiosity, passion and generosity; love doing nice things for the people I care about.
I gravitate towards solid, worldly people who have long time friends and warm family relationships.

Meet a woman from California, United States. I am a genuine, down-to-earth person who is looking for someone who is responsible, has a sense of humor and a sense of spirituality.
I have two children who are in their 20's who are very important to me. I have spent many years raising them alone and am ready for some new adventures.

Date someone special from California, United States. After almost a year of leaving the NYC rat race, I am finding my life heading in a different direction. I'm still learning to slow down but now I have a live to work attitude instead of a work to live attitude. I feel very fortunate....
I am many things - unique; curious; a critical, logical and deep thinker; sensual; passionate; romantic; playful; capable; compassionate; courageous; adaptable; etc. I've heard it all and more. I am a multifaceted, full spectrum woman. I am also very open, friendly, and a great conversationalist.
Physical activity is important to me - I can't live without it. Sometimes I'm in the gym strength training but when the weather is nice I love being outdoors as much as possible. I run daily either on the road in my neighborhood or at the beach - I prefer the latter.
I'm not much into watching TV. It's not that it's all bad, I even use the DVR on occasion, it's just that there are only so many hours in a day. Learning new things and being challenged are a necessity to me so I am more of a reader and doer. I have many, many interests from aviation to business to health and fitness... oh... and learning to play guitar. I'm never without something to do or learn. Boredom has never been, and will never be, part of my vocabulary. My teenage daughter manages to keep me busy but she's getting older and becoming more independent so I may be out of a job soon.
As an independent, strong, and passionate woman, I'm opinionated and outspoken too. But I'm not so opinionated that I can't be open minded. But I need someone who will challenge me... make me think.
I am very sensitive and caring, and easy to talk to. I'd like to meet a man whose very presence can make me melt - someone I can get lost in. I am interested in meeting a man who is communicative, sensitive but emotionally strong, decisive, will stay true to himself, and can take charge. A man who is quietly confident, not easily intimidated, and is emotionally available. I am attracted to very intelligent, creative, physically fit, and unique men. I am looking for a playmate (someone to do outdoor things with - maybe run with me?), a passionate companion, and a man who can keep me interested and on my toes. I know this sounds like a large order to fill - it is. But I know such a man exists somewhere and I'm in no hurry.
If this sounds like you, then send me a message... let's talk. If we meet and mutually feel some chemistry, then maybe we can stir up a bit of passion, spend some quality time together, and see where it takes us. I have no immediate agenda but would love to be in a long term relationship down the road. I'm seeking a quality man and I know it takes time. But it all begins with friendship anyway and we won't know until we try. So... if we're a good fit then that's fantastic!... If not... we move on and hopefully maintain a nice friendship.
I am very confident, and comfortable with who I am. I'm generally a casual dresser but if an occasion calls for more, I can dress up very well. In the end, I believe beauty (both inner and outer) lies in the eye of the beholder.... and age is only a state of mind.
