Date women from United States / California, 44 year old - page 3

Date a woman from California, United States. I'm patient,stong, open minded, out-going, active, curious, successful, calming and love to experience new places with good company. At least that is how my friends would describe me. I do best in one-on-one settings for deeper conversations, but love to entertain and socialize too. My business is in the holistic health fitness industry, so I desire a partner who is health conscious. Loves to exercise and staying active. If you are looking for a gal who cleans the house and cooks while you sit in front of a computer or tv well, I am not that person. I do enjoy cooking healthy meals with a partner or at least alternate the creativeness. I enjoy entertaining, which is when I get most creative in this department. Cleaning... yuck! I pay for cleaners and prefer someone who helps pick up, sort, and maintain a clean and beautiful home inside and out. I believe in respecting yourself, others and the things you own. This I try to teach my son.
I enjoy spending quality time with my partner around the house and playing, traveling and exploring. At the same time, I enjoy time alone to hear my thoughts and stay connected to myself. So, I appreciate a man who has quality friends and hobbies to keep balance in our life and I enjoy spending quality time w/ my girlfriends too. At the same time I hope our friends can travel and hang out with us as couples... Playing cards, games, traveling etc.
My son is my biggest joy and first priority. His dad is a package deal...as I put it. In other words, the right match for me would be a man who is confident in himself, open minded and his heart open to the dynamics that are involved with shared parenting. Sensitive to wanting the healthiest enviroment for him and still maintain family values. Ideally, I'd love for us all to hang out together for holidays and maybe a family meal here and therel...but I also understand this can be too liberal/alternative for some.
Obviously, I'm looking for intimate chemistry and lifestyle goals that will lead into a long term relationship. I believe this is imporant for long term survival. I enjoy someone who can make me laugh, I can be serious and sarcastic, so I need someone who can keep it light and get my dry sense of humor...but also knows when to reel it in. This includes being a good listener. I am someone who will tell you what I need and want so if you are listening, then your part will be easy. I tend to attract corky people ...maybe because I am open minded and excepting of others. I respect men who are motivated, responsible, goal oriented, successful in their career, willing to plan a weekend and make it happen, playful, and mature. Fashionable and yet rugged...I love the outdoors...camping, boating, rockclimbing, hiking, swimming, backpacking, biking, vacationing, music venues, wine tasting, spa weekends etc. but I am also a parent, so family outings at this age stage is more kid friendly. Hanging out at the pool, park visits, Disneyland etc. Again...balancing romance, independent care and family play is key.
For now...meeting and seeing if there is ease in our conversation is a great place to start.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Cute brunette, looking for a fun, healthy guy who is easy on the eyes, as well as easy going. Someone who can make me laugh with minimal baggage. He should be interesting and communicative with a ready, white smile and who shares similar interests, such as day trips to the wine country, or the beach. Who feels comfortable going out for dinner or just hanging out with friends and bbq’n; with a broad, eclectic taste in music – from the Blues and old school stuff like Firefall, Doobie Brothers, and Marshall Tucker band all the way to Train, Nickelback, Weezer Mika and Sublime. Who is active but is not looking for a high impact activity partner. I don't go long distance bicycling or bungee jumping. I used to be very active but now have settled into doing more mellow things like taking nice scenic walks with my dog, a little casual biking, browsing outdoor fairs, fun outings to explore out of the way places and towns, meals out in cozy mom & pop cafes, movies, outdoor concerts in the summer, going to see plays and musicals on occasion, maybe some boating, flea markets and things like that. A man that can fix most things when they break and isn't easily frustrated when he can't. He is an overall optimist who has a way with words, is very quick witted and can make me laugh. He must feel like a kid at heart but is mature enough to know that he doesn't know it all and is eager to continue learningdiscovering new things in life. Not too much (haa haa) just a stable man who lives in my area, shares my values, and is searching for what I am, that click with someone to begin building a long term relationship. I'm calm, easy going, funny, sometimes shy but have an adventurous side that likes to try new things. I'm financially and emotionally sound with a great sense of humor and looking for my counterpart.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I love life and all it has to offer... and it's never ending adventures. Living the best life I can. Travel and Art and Music. I'm passionate about pretty much anything I do.Traveling this big globe and being the best person I can be on a daily basis. Looking for someone with the same upbeat outlook! I want someone who has the ability to laugh, love, cry, relate, and enjoy life. Someone who is emotionally stable and knows who they are as a person. Someone who can make me laugh, even at myself. I love someone with lots of passion and romance. Not just in love, but in life in general. If you have a sense of style... even better :) WIth the right loving, passionate, funny, creative guy we can build a wonderful life together.
I'm very creative. I have a BFA in photography. Although I am in the fashion business, I still pick up my camera as it's something I love to do. Once upon a time I wanted to be a photojournalist... until I realized I don't really "blend" in a crowd and I can't run all that fast nor dive in a ditch to dodge a bullet!
Don't let the blonde hair fool you... I'm smart, witty and wise. Charming and kind as well, I know, the complete package :)
Smiling and laughing most of the days. Most passionate about passion and living life to the fullest.
No drama here. No botox, no plastic surgery, just a natural girl. Seeing that I am in the Fashion business, I wear high heels a lot ( I'm 5' 6 1/2 and I'm not giving them up!)... So if you are super short, it would look rather funny me towering over you all the time. :) I have had the great fortune working for some top designers, so I do have a great wardrobe! I love to dress up.
Traveling all over the globe, learning new languages, exploring, new adventures, hiking the hills ( I LOVE HIKING!), pilates, yoga and swimming. I am very active and am always doing something. I have a cute pink beach cruiser that I love riding around too :)
I love cooking new dishes. Nothing smells better than cooking great food in the kitchen ( okay, maybe a man's neck comes close) Brunch to catch up with friends.Concerts, and live music anywhere... Museums, galleries, wine tasting, and anything interesting. Sailing, or doing just about anything in or on the water. I'm always planning a trip. I love to be out and about.
I don't knock cuddling on the sofa and staying home watching a movie. That's nice too...
I have lived a lot of places ( New Orleans ,Dallas, Washington DC, NYC- for 11 years, Miami, San Francisco ,and Rome, Italy) and enjoy different cultures.However, living in Socal I have to say has been one of the most magical places so far.
I play a mean tambourine, and I am always up for Karaoke. Dancing around the kitchen when I'm cooking is something usual I would do. I'm a very romantic , touchy person, VERY AFFECTIONATE . If I like you, I will be all over you.That's just how I am :)
I have no regrets. Life is what you make it. So, I'm making it. I love animals and kids ( my brother has 3 that I adore).
I have two rescued Miami street cats. So if you have cat allergies... it just won't work.
Although I do like hamburgers and chicken etc... if you hunt animals, it won't work either :(

Meet a woman from United States. I'm a reserve person but at the same time I'd like to experience new things.

Date someone special from United States. Me hmm? Spontaneous,Eclectic, Loyal, slightly sarcastic always with a smile. Te he!
I have been told and believe by the men in my life past, present and future I am not your typical woman. I have been taught by my Father (Best Friend) how to think like a man and act and look like a Lady my entire life. So I can see you boys and your agenda coming a mile away. Ah ha ha! No I have never read the book never even heard of it until recently. No interest I was taught first hand.
So wining, nagging, not believing in boys night out is not in my persona. No such thing as PMS! It is a mind set and excuse to be negative.
I enjoy the beach, theater, museums,fine dining or BBQ's, Local hot spots or hanging at home,good wine or a cold beer. Can dress with the best, or throw on jeans and hang with the boys. I enjoy adapting to all scenarios. I love dining by the ocean whether a nice restaurant, local joint or a picnic on the beach. Cuddling up with a good movie and a good man is always nice!!
Very eclectic tastes in music I love it all!
I have done some traveling and would love to do more. Italy and Paris have been a few of my favorites.
Sunsets on the beach, Cuddling next to a fire w/ a brandy during a thunderstorm.
I snow and water ski, horseback ride, driving fast cars is always fun, dressing up and going to the opera or theater.
I Cannot tell you too much would be much more fun learning on your own.
No games, looking for someone who is confident, fun, witty, strong integrity, who can be himself and not pretend to be what he thinks I want.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Nature and the outdoors are a big part of my life. Living primarily in Southern Marin, I love taking advantage of all sorts of day trips in the convertible. I'm hoping to start traveling more broadly again soon. I'm a creative and am always looking for inspiration. As an eternal optimist, I'm usually in a good mood and always up for a fun adventure.
While I primarily live in San Francisco, I'm frequently in Manhattan Beach for 2-4 weeks at a time. In fact, I will be in MB for the month of August. I'm open to meeting quality men in both places. Ideally I'd like to meet someone to share life with. For myself, first and foremost, I need an intelligent partner. Somebody I can trust and open-up to. Someone who 'gets me', and has the confidence to allow me to be who I am. And I'm worth coming home to....
p.s. Good manners are important to me; please be respectful.
p.p.s. [Flakes and Players, I'm not 'Your Girl'. If you're lying about your age, weight - whatever - all you're really doing is telling me how dumb you are. And if you're a big damn mess (hint: you're emotionally unavailable), you really should consider a professional therapist, not a date... Seriously!]

. IРІР‚в„ўm looking to meet that special someone. The ideal man would be kind, intelligent, genuine, romantic, caring, and honest. A man who is positive in spirit and knows what he wants.
I’m from the Midwest. I am an independent, down to earth gal who loves to be silly. Like everyone else, I love to laugh…but I love to laugh until it hurts. I tend to be reserved at first until I get to know you. I enjoy the simple things…going to the movies (I love action movies), dining out, concerts, and theatre. I try to stay fit and live a healthy lifestyle; I like hiking, running, and tennis. Also, people often mistake me for someone younger…I will be sad one day when they stop. :)
I know this is short, but letРІР‚в„ўs leave a little something to talk about.

. I am a California native, so I love the great outdoors... walking, bike riding, hiking, camping, picnics, and travelling. I enjoy romance... so I like to dress up for a romantic evening on the town. I am also comfortable in shorts or jeans… walking on the beach, watching a sunset or movie. I value integrity, honesty, strong character, and spiritual depth. I enjoy volunteering and helping the needy.
I'm looking for that special man to spend time with and hopefully lead to committed relationship and marriage. A man who is ambitious, affectionate, and has a sense of humor. He should have integrity, be secure in who he is and what he desires in life.
I am looking for a best friend... someone to enjoy all of life's twists and turns and adventures!

. Gents: Please do read my profile before contacting me. Thanks!
I'm clever, quick witted and love to laugh. I'm honest and direct. I'm half city girl and half country girl. half conservative, half rebel. I haven't been able to decide completely. I may never. I'm not lying about my stats, please don't lie about yours.
My FAVORITE things: horses and riding, travel, food - from street food to fine dining, I love cooking for a dinner party or just us two, I love hostessing and catering a cocktail party for 10 or 100. I love animals in general (yet still eat them... I know...) I love to travel - particularly European countrysides.
Currently I'm missing out on some of my very favorite things: cooking dinner for someone I adore, snuggling on the sofa to watch a movie with ice cream or Chinese delivery. Planning a trip with someone special, buying that perfect tie as an unexpected gift.... Maybe that's where you can come in?
(segue to the "you" part)
You are very smart, charismatic, confident, competent but not narcissistic. You care about your appearance (classic style trumps looks). You have old fashioned values, don't feel awkward or silly standing when a woman comes to the table. Opening doors is of course a must. You're funny and you laugh a lot.
You're fit but you probably don't have a picture of yourself topless on the internet... :(
You should be stronger than me. You're taller than I am or at least larger (5'11" and 145 pounds will just feel too small to me). I like to be able to look up to a man, physically and mentally.
You're honest, have a strong moral compass but maybe still make your own rules. You like to laugh, to travel, to be spontaneous and to surprise your woman with the occasional gift or note or text because you want her to know you think of her when she's not around. And you'd appreciate the same from me.
I also really like the rebel or even the geek, the entrepreneur or someone who's done things his own way. I know I have, and find I don't have much in common with people who haven't, in some way, forged their own paths.
You'll tolerate my need to pet nearly every dog I see on the street and my occasional arrival in public places in riding boots and britches. Maybe you'll even come to a horse show and cheer me on.
I'm finding more and more that I don't have a LOT in common with traditional California "dudes" or sports fan types. I have a more international taste in things and would rather spend a Sunday afternoon discovering a great new local spot, on a long drive, at a great cafe in Yountville than at a game. Yes, even than in a box.
If a large enough percent of the above sounds like you, please write! I may have a place for you to hang your hat.
I won't respond to winks.

. Hi! my name is Kelly and I would describe myself as funny, smart and hard working. I am a Los Angeles native and a single mom. I am a good friend, and a loyal, fun companion. I haven't dated in a few years and am ready to be social again. I am a high school guidance counselor in Los Angeles. My close friends describe me as someone confident, who knows what she wants out of life. I am goal oriented and always focused on setting/acheiving personal and professional goals. I see humor as a way to diffuse difficult situations and often try to look at the bright side of things. I have very good people skills and get along well with most anyone. I am grateful for my health, my wonderful family, my son and my circle of girlfriends. I am hoping to find someone like me - easy going, fun to be around, positive attitude, has integrity, faithful, goal oriented, someone with kids who does not want more. I am looking for a relationship, something based on a solid friendship. I am passionate about making this world a better place, being a good person, a great mother and friend. Integrity and living by the golden rule are priorities to me. Common sense, kindness and manners are a necessity. It is important for my match to have a strong work ethic. I believe in karma - doing good deeds and promoting positive energy.
I am not interested in serial dating and would prefer to spend quality time getting to know one person for a long term, monogamous relationship.
Thank you for reading my profile. If you would like to continue this conversation, please send me an email. Otherwise, good luck with your search! :)
PS. I live in Los Angeles, CALIFORNIA! While I appreciate a wink and a nice comment, I am looking for someone in the Southern California area. Long distance just doesn't work. And the weather here is just too nice to leave.
I am also looking to meet other single parents who understand the restrictions of single parent dating.
Deal breakers: drug use, smoking, excessive drinking.

. It's the little things that mean the most, and knowing that is one thing, but showing is another! This is what makes me smile. Honesty, integrity, among other qualities are a must. I like some one who's a leader, one that knows what he want's and goes after it!

. I am divorced, with two kids 19 & 17, I have spent most of my time working and raising my girls. I am now being told by them to “get a life”. So here I start. I have not dated much since my divorce, but that was by choice. I felt raising my children was more important, and I am happy that I made that choice. It really allowed me to get to know them and be there for them.
I like going to the movies, live theater is my favorite. I am more of a casual person, but I can dress for the occasion when appropriate. I like dancing, and just hanging out.
I enjoy camping, but do need a bathroom nearby, also white water rafting is a blast, I try to go at least once a year.
