Date women from United States / California, 48 year old - page 11

Date someone special from California, United States. In a perfect world, we would have bumped into one another like they do in the movies-- while wearing our ugly Christmas sweaters having appetizers on toothpicks at the annual Christmas party or many other scenarios. But we are living in a new world these days where our computers seem to be one of the best ways for busy professionals to meet one another.
Match.com sometimes seems a bit like placing your dating resume' on file - for the entire world to see. This sometimes feels a bit contrived, but at the same time has the advantage to let people know up front what you are looking for.
I was raised in the South, so of course I'm looking for a classy type gentleman who can be presentable in public, but a lot of fun behind closed doors.
I'm new to the on-line dating scenario and I feel that it is best to meet in person and explore mutual chemistry face to face over coffee, drinks, lunch or dinner.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I'm a native of New Jersey and just relocated to northern California. My children are now away at school during the year so I decided it was time to explore the beautiful west coast. I'm very happy to be here!
When I'm not working, I pursue outlets that allow me to express my creativity. As a lifelong learner, I seek stimulating conversation - crave it, actually - so it's important to be able to discuss what's happening in the world with my partner. I've done my fair share of traveling both domestically and internationally, but I hope to travel a lot more in the future. I'm extremely active and love sports - playing and/or watching. I try to participate in activities that enhance the lives of those less fortunate. Technology dependent, I am an aspiring geek and hope to teach myself programming. (Good luck, right)? I am a voracious reader and an information sponge. There are few topics that would not be of interest to me.
I've had a lot of interesting life experience. I don't sweat the little things, (and sometimes not the big ones either), and I usually find humor in just about anything. After years of working in New York, (and I love the city), I appreciate the pace and lifestyle of the Bay area. Being independent, I am used to having my space - but that has been by choice so far. I'm adventurous and I like to have fun. I can assimilate into most situations/events/groups with ease, and find a common denominator with just about anyone. I'm dependably honest and sincere, and passionate about the things that are important to me.
You: It's really difficult for me to describe a "type" of partner. I imagine he would be wise, not just intelligent. He would be experienced, well educated and confident, (but not arrogant). If he is a father, his children are his priority. He has a great sense of humor and appreciates that trait in others. He can be spontaneous and likes to have fun. He isn't clingy or jealous, and has his own interests. He might be a San Francisco Giants or Yankee fan, but hopefully not a Red Sox fan. :)) He's not superficial. He would be young at heart and enjoys an active lifestyle. Most importantly, I imagine him to be sincere, and my ultimate best friend.

*Please feel free to reach out with a note. Regarding dating, I don't go for drinks unless we've communicated enough to know it's worth the effort on both sides. This means we have spoken live on the phone. :)

Date a woman from California, United States. I’m the United Nations: Italian – Japanese mix from Argentina, who has been living in Los Angeles for the past 10 years. Born and raised in Buenos Aires; I also lived in Japan for 1 year. I’m an Architect who loves everything outdoors: the beach, sailing, hiking, cycling by the beach and summer concerts. Even though I’ve been living in LA for a decade, I’m still curious about finding new places, cafes and exploring the architecture of old buildings in the company of good friends or a special one.
I live a pretty healthy lifestyle and IРІР‚в„ўve been practicing Nichiren Buddhism for the past 2 years. I love live music - especially Jazz, foreign movies, concerts at the Hollywood Bowl, farmer markets, the Art Walk, museums and occasional fine dining with friends.
I like small groups and feel more comfortable in an intimate setting. I like to meet friends to drink coffee, going to art and photography exhibitions and travel.
My friends say IРІР‚в„ўm easy going, understanding and caring. A good friend. Classy and sophisticated.
IРІР‚в„ўm looking for a good person, affectionate and honest. Spirituality is important to me. Someone well rounded, smart and educated. A hard worker with passion for whatever you do. High family values, integrity and generosity is something IРІР‚в„ўm also looking for. In summary, someone to share activities and trips, spend spare time together and enjoy life.

Meet someone special from United States. Life has so much to offer to spend it alone. We were created not to be alone.
Family is very important to me. I have one child, a beautiful daughter and a graduate of Loyola Marymount U and is now a full time employee at a big movie studio.
You have good strong Christian or moral values. Love music (jazz, classical, standards, dance tunes). Enjoy enriching conversations. Funny sense of humor. Loves to laugh. Cares about his health and exercises. DEFINITELY NON-SMOKER. I love a man who smells good and is clean. Who doesn't?
Sensual. Romantic. Sexy. Confident. Sophisticated. Cultured. Childlike. Fun loving but RESPONSIBLE. Likes travel, adventure. Healthy in mind, heart, body and soul. No life on the edge or substance users. I live a clean and straight life so I won't be able to handle someone on the edge.
Kind. I could not emphasize how kindness is a quality that reflects what is in the heart. Performing arts. Movies. Classy. Someone comfortable in a tuxedo (ooh every man looks good in a tux).
I am standing by and waiting for that special someone I could give of myself to totally. I am a lot of fun and it would be a shame if no man is enjoying that part of me and life.
I will sing to you and lullabye you to sleep. I am a performer by heart (singing, acting and dancing) been doing since childhood and will always be in my blood.
Someone told me that whoever will catch me would be the luckiest and happiest man in the world. Hmm...Would you like to find out? My wish is in meeting someone I could say "I'm the luckiest gal in the world. Thank you, Lord."
Some relationships brew slower but only when nurtured with regular communication and contact. Then, who knows, magic will happen when God whispers in our ears, saying "Go for It!!" So, let me know you're out there and let's find out if we are each other's last partner in life.

Date a soulmate from United States. I am always smiling but always looking for someone who makes me smile even more. I have one daughter I have raised myself so proud of her. She is my life I am truly grateful.....Looking for someone that wants to be in a relationship - who wants to take care of me, not my daughter.

Meet a woman from United States. I would like to find someone who has the same perspective or understanding of what we're here for.
I like to move about and want a partner that has the right pace and likes the same things I like,,, I like beat up classic power cars, motorcycles, flying, dancing, painting, travelling by train or bicycle or by foot. I would really like to build on a creative framework, as opposed to one that is carved by society. I love exploring cities. I want this letter to attract you!
Hopefully you are looking for a chick to ride on your bike to rallies or cool festivals. Or cruising next to you. You are easy going, and are your own boss, earn money but not a work addict,,, unless we go into business together : D
You are energetic in a way ,,, we would complement and inspire each other,,,
And We have chemistry!
Good luck to you in your journeys.

. I am a happy person and enjoy being with others whom love to laugh.
I don't need someone to complete me but I want to fall in love with the person that accepts me completely.
I believe destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It's not a thing to be waited for, it's a thing to be achieved.
I work full time and love what I do for a living. Im not afraid to slip out of my work scrubs and put on my jeans and boots an saddle up behind you on your harley for an evening ride.
I enjoy the outdoors and Im not afraid to bait my hooks for a day of fishing. Im very much a girly girl who loves lipstick for all occasions but I grew up with brothers so I can change the oil in my car, help you lay out a sprinkler system or install an over head ceiling fan....lol Did I mention I like tools?
Im pretty easy going as long as I can start my sunday with a good old classic movie, Brando, Hepburn, Newman, Gregory Peck and my favorite...Clint Eastwood, He has a big gun, wears boots jeans and looks great in his dirty old hat.
I love to cook but since the boys grew up and went away I hope to begin cooking for you.
I Hope to find my partner who is a gentleman with a kind heart who wants to have a fun loving person in his life for a long time. I haven't dated in several years due to raising 2 boys that I have respect for, as do they have respect for me for giving them my all.

. IAM LOOKING FOR A FRIEND, PARTNER FOR LIFE, TO SHARE MY LIFE WITH. THAT PERSON SHOULD NOT BE A JUDGING PERSON, SOMEONE WHO CAN TAKE A JOKE, AND NOT BE TO UP TIGHT ABOUT THE SMALL THINGS THAT LIFE THROWS AT US. ARE YOU ABLE TO BE A EQUAL WITH YOUR PARTNER? THATS ONE THING THAT IS IMPORTANT TO ME. I WOULD HOPE TO FIND SOMEONE TO COOK FOR, AND LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY ARE IMPORTANT TO ME EVERYDAY. I

. I know I'm not alone when I say that I'm looking for that elusive and hard-to-come-by connection/chemistry with a special man! I'm a sharp, fun, talented, and caring woman and seek these same qualities in a man. I tend to be upbeat with a positive outlook and also desire this in a friend and partner.
I enjoy being engaged in great conversation over a lovely meal with or without a terrific glass of wine. As a singer, if there's good music in the background, that's always a plus.
I'd love to share spending time outdoors with a friend and lover -- the beach, hiking, running, good walks. Keeping fit is a priority, and although I love hanging at home, a couch potato lifestyle is not for me. Due to a possible knee injury (I think I'm in denial), I'm now venturing into swimming as a primary form of exercise and I sure could use a helpful technique or two!
I feel it's vital to have a global perspective of the world -- it's not all about us. I prefer a man with a more liberal political viewpoint and although I was raised Catholic, I consider myself more spiritual than religious. My "religion" is that of the Golden Rule: treat others the way you'd like to be treated -- with dignity, kindness and respect.
I lead a somewhat simple, authentic life and I'm grateful for what I have, particularly my relationships with family and friends. I'm most proud of having raised a lovely daughter who is a pediatrics nurse in San Diego.
I'm a firm believer that relationships need plenty of air in order to breathe and grow, and therefore, time is of the essence. My motto is the title of one of Frank Sinatra's signature songs, "Nice and Easy"... I don't believe in rushing or forcing anything in life. With respect to friendships and relationships, I feel that if it doesn't come with a certain amount of ease, it's not meant to be.
If you're also a fan of the "nice easy" approach (and if you love Frank, that's even better), lemme know. Wishing all of us good luck with our respective searches!

. Hmmmm....This can be tough or challenging,boiling down likes,dislikes,interests and turn offs all into a nutshell. An East coast born and bred woman,I now comfortably call Calif. home. With many travels in between,I, for a period of time, lived outside of the U.S.I love to travel near and far and still have a few places I want to travel to.My friends would most definitely describe me as being friendly, outgoing,compassionate and kind. I would add curious,adventurous,fair and open-minded. Reading,learning,traveling and staying active are just some things I enjoy.Skiing,the Beach(very important...deserves Caps)Mountains(real ones w snow) and the desert are also thingsplaces I love. Not a woman who feels she needs a man to complete her,I treasure my time spent with close friends.Fairly new to dating online, I find it interesting that some are able to detect instant chemistry. I definitely know when there is NONE but it usually takes me time to know someone and though I am not described as shy, I can be on a first date. Chemistry,is a combination,a mixture of things and In my experience I have found it to be not purely or even mostly physical. For me itРІР‚в„ўs brains, humor and kindness. Ideally,I would like to meet a man who is intelligent yet humble,successful yet gracious,and in possession of an ability to relate to varied people. Traveling,dining out, dining in,a good movie,a nice beach walk or time spent w friends are all things I would like to enjoy w another. Sharing your interest and preferences is always welcome as well. An open mind is very important to me and I place much importance in loyalty and fairness. Good communication is also key. A tall order? Hope not, but mine none the less!

. Passionately progressing physically, intellectually, and spiritually is my approach to life. As long as I think I'm improving by learning something in some way I'm happy. Striving for the illusive goal of a balanced life motivates me every day. It would be fantastic to meet a man who shares the same level of curiosity about life, our limits, and push them together. I'm looking for my contemporary in every way, ever evolving, and enthusiastically engaged in life.
I'm originally from Kansas City returning often for a celebration, to visit my Grandparents, or to have BBQ and listen to jazz, of course. Was raised in Los Angeles and now live in San Diego. I have a wonderful son who is a graduating senior at UCSB and the apple of my eye:). Enjoying the beauty of nature is the best medicine for me. Challenging myself physically and mentally takes me outdoors, there's nothing more humbling than mother nature.
I love music that makes you want to move from rock to salsa and hip pop. Jack Johnson is great weekend mornings on Pandora, which may lead to the Black Keys, M83, Mike Snow, Gramatik, The Xx, or Orsten. Classical, when I'm writing (work related), 90's alternative when I'm working around the house, and hip pop (mixing two genres like electronic and pop or hip hop and rock aka electro pop indie folk) when I'm going out on the town:) It'd be great if you knew how to salsa dance, but if you don't, I'd be happy to show you the basic steps to this passionate dance, just relax and it'll happen;) And if you're up for learning to tango even better!
Professionally, I'm able to contribute to the world in a unique way with a rewarding and challenging career that enlightens me every day. Who could ask for anything more!? As Marcus Buckingham said...I've learned to be flexible enough to let my career shape me, but strong enough to mold my job to fit me.
Chemistry and timing are everything. If you're attractive with an interesting profile, I'll reach out to you which may spark an undeniable connection...It's a process, an adventure, a discovery of the other.
Cheers!

. They say I have a soothing personality. A good friend describes me as "cool yet warm". I am gentle and mild mannered, but at the same time, clear and grounded. Honest sharing is valuable to me. In social situations, while I enjoy pleasantries, my preference is to engage in real conversations. Different personalities interest me. I am a sincere listener and like to observe. I regard getting to know people as a matter of learning and understanding life. I am passionate about life.
Being a single mom, I am very close to my children whom I've raised to be independent, well mannered and true. I love my place in their lives and uphold theirs in mine. My path is clear and my heart is free. Today, I believe I can enjoy and explore a right relationship. Whatever that is actually; as long as it's healthy. In relationships, I am a nurturer.
I want to be with a man who knows what he wants (sexy) says what he wants (clarity) and lives an honest life (integrity). He is spiritual not fanatical. He is creative, independent, driven and ambitious. He enjoys reading. He loves music. He is steady and he is clear. He takes the lead but isn't controlling. He is smart, witty, funny. He makes me laugh. He makes time and is generous of heart. My man is not restrained in the areas of love and affection. He is a gentleman who makes me feel like a woman. He is romantic yet he is real. His path is clear. He steps up to the plate. His presence soothes me.
We prioritize each other despite demanding schedules and this is why it works.
We enjoy cooking together (everything sensual about this.) We read. We read to each other. We play. We mirror each other with intent to empower. We own a toolbox for happiness but our shared goal is peace coated with layers of affection. We talk through our differences. We listen until the fever breaks. We laugh at ourselves after a fight and the relationship wins. We are a creative couple. Our relationship is our art.
This is my ideal; granted it is a tough call. However, although I am selective, I will walk through open doors to see what's in store without being too attached to the results.
Above all, I know that the timing of this is not in my hands.
But maybe tomorrow he'll actually show up.
( I cannot handle winks! Current photos only please. I'm also trying to keep it within a 30 mile distance)
