Date a woman from California, United States. Hi everyone,
Nice to meet you at least online! I recently moved back to California but this time to a different area. I am here to meet people who are fun and spontaneous and are looking to make a new friend and then see how it goes. I like men who are honest, fun and driven.
So if you are here on match to really meet some one and be real ... I am the one.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I am a down to earth gal looking for an easy-going guy to be my last best friend. I?m the girl with the perpetual grin on her face and I can usually find the humor in everything? fair warning!
I?ve asked my friends to give me an honest description of my personality and they said I was: loyal, funny, honest, witty goofy and geographically challenged. Er? I suppose I did ask for honesty! Anyway, I?m one of the lucky ones that has a life filled with friends, family and fulfillment. I have a career that I love that allows me to be a positive part of children?s lives every day and I go home and am surrounded with arts and culture and beauty.
As a teacher, I am fortunate to have a lot of vacation time and I use it to travel as much as possible. I spend a lot of time plotting?I mean, planning? my next excursion. So far, I?ve been to all the continental US states, 20 European countries, Canada, Puerto Rico and Mexico and have a huge bucket list that I am working my way through for others! But I love an adventure? my bags are always packed and ready for a quick weekend jaunt or overnight trip.
But, I?d love to find someone to share it all with. I tend to be drawn to adorable geeks and quirky types, but when it comes down to it, what I?m looking for is the right combination of chemistry and affection in an intelligent, witty, confident package. I find comfort in the simple joys of a relationship?waking up to an unexpected text that came in overnight, knowing how we take our coffee, a shared smile from across the room, a glass of wine over a home cooked meal, pizza and a movie on a Friday night or just snuggling on the couch and decompressing after a long day.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. This kind of feels like I'm writing a 10th grade English paper but here goes!....Yes, I have a pretty full life but I am fortunate to have quite a bit of free time. I have three great kids. My oldest is now in college and twin 16 year old boy and girl, who I share joint custody of with their father...we are on great terms. All my children are all so big now and so busy with their lives that it seems like I should get busy on mine :)
I am looking for someone with whom to share life and it's experiences...a lover, a friend, a partner in crime! Someone sweet, smart and sexy and interested in creating a committed relationship. Someone with an independent spirit who would like a girl to hang out with, travel, explore new situations but also appreciate the comfort of a favorite restaurant or place to visit. Someone interested in giving back and making the world a better place. Someone who enjoys being irreverent and silly- at the appropriate times. Someone with nice manners and a sweet smile. That mysterious and elusive thing called chemistry, is also a must.
About me...I am optimistic and I believe in being grateful for all the wonderful things in life. I believe in hard work and taking time to play. I believe in acts of kindness and reciprocity in a relationship. Of course, you've got to be honest and communicative. I am very affectionate and I love my family. I'm a very loyal friend. I am quite independent but love the company of my favorite people. I am open-minded and adventurous. My friends say I am funny and creative. I have a wonderful life and would love to find someone to share it with.
On a side note, my pics are all recent, I haven't lied about my age (which I guess is commonplace because I keep reading confessions from guys who do it and then swear that you'll be pleasantly surprised. Are the ladies doing it too? Why???). One thing I'm not looking for - a long distance relationship. If you live outside of LA or in Europe, Africa or Asia, I'm not interested, but thank you for your interest.

Meet a woman from United States. I am best described as a friendly, good heart person and has good traditional family values. Family and friends are important to me. I am young at heart and young at spirit. I love to laugh and laugh easily. I believe laughter is contagious. It is the best and healthy medicine for the soul. I like to be surrounded by happy and positive people. I appreciate all the simplicity that life has to offer. I like to do volunteer work to help out others. I also believe that doing good for others is life's greatest pleasure!
I take good care of myself -- I like exercising daily and living with healthy lifestyle. I like to live in a balance life between work and fun. Weekend get away is a fun thing to do. Visiting some resorts area, driving along the coast, and walking down the beach to see the sunset is very relaxing. I enjoy ocean breeze, and viewing some beautiful scene that great Mother nature has to offer!
Other time I simply enjoy hanging out with my friends/families. I like to try out new and cool restaurants, outdoor cafes, as well as fine dining. I can also enjoy a quiet evening at home and love cooking a romantic dinner for two.
Traveling around is also a great thing to do. You discover so many things about others as well as yourself when you visit foreign countries. I had been to Canada, Tijuana, and some Asian countries like Hong kong, Macau, Malaysia and numerous times to China.I love to visit Europe someday.
My ideal partner will be someone who is caring, honest, and passionate. Someone who has traditional family value are important. Good sense of humor will be a plus :) !
I believe any great relationship starting with good friendship , good communication, mutual understanding, and honesty. Treat each other with dignity and respect. Having chemistry is important as well to bond two people together. Chemistry to me means when two people have an understanding of, and attraction to each other that goes beyond words. Perhaps the punch line is known before joke is finished. A common perspective on how life is viewed that resonates energy.
Please "No" game player ! Thanks for reading my profile and love to hear from you ....!

Meet a soulmate from United States. Some of us our fortunate and unfortunate to have family and friends who influenced us and shaped who we are today, its inescapable that we have developed a list of standard characteristics of the person we will marry or even date, but different criteriaРІР‚в„ўs of course. I gave up trying to find this person, but came close a few times. Each one of them very different in every way, looking for those few attributes and characteristic of each one of them that won my heart and hopefully I can stay away from attributes that broke my heart. I am ready now to pursue this dream, and my intent in this site is to hopefully find someone who has similar standards, believes his life is ahead of him and lives a healthy lifestyle.
9 things about me that you need to know that can be a deal breaker:
1) I am honest, living an honest life is huge part of who I am and doing the right thing is not gray line for me. I come from competitive family; overall my family accomplishments are a huge testament to the ethic standards I uphold and looking for in a man. So if you have handy-cap plate just to get a better parking spot, I will not be impressed or think itРІР‚в„ўs cool.
2) I am loyal, never cheated on my boyfriends, which have only been a selective few. I like to date one person at time; itРІР‚в„ўs a just easier thing for me. So if your serial dater (STD carrier) really not interested.
3) I have a big heart, sensitive to other people feelings. I spent my life volunteering for various causes and it makes me feel good trying to make a difference. I try to look in the best in all people, respect people differences and believes. Environment, animals and historical sites are also very sensitive issues and dear to my heart.
4) I been Independent all my adult life, I worked mostly in large corporation for over 25 years. Made a contribution, won awards and looking forward going back to school in September now that my daughter away from the nest.
5) I am strong woman, never in million years did I think nor did anyone else think I would be single mom. I made the choice to raise my daughter alone and gave her a privilege lifestyle by attending only private schools I wish I attended growing up. Enrolled her in art and piano classes and private gymnastics lessons… We traveled, bogie board together in the beach and bike ride. We did some traveling during the summer. She was gifted runner very young at age, won 1st place in 100-yard dash, 200-yard dash and record in the 400 run. She is intelligent, creative and very beautiful. She is currently away at school studying sport medicine. I did not date, while she was growing up.
6) I am fun, enjoy all sports, concerts from great artist like Andre Bocelli who makes feel am back in Europe, my favorite love song is Besame mucho to Elton John who makes me want to dance out my chair. I love seeing a beautiful ballet, art show or films, which makes me feel warm and fussy inside or inspire me. Not into nightclubs or drugs of any kind.
7) I am Sweet, when you least expect it I will surprise you with cupcakes, romantic picnic for two and spoil you as much as you will allow me to. So if you are the controlling type, you are not for me.
8) I am huge romantic, good kisser, I have been told. he!he! I love to kiss! Cuddling near the fireplace enjoying each other company is a must. Huge romantic, I love the scent of flowers, candles and appreciate small gestures. Marshmallow fights, playing with the dogs or just holding hands. So if you are not into planning a great date, buying flowers or if you cannot kiss, you are not for me.
9) I am happy person naturally, always looking at brighter side of things and the glass is half full vs. empty. Outgoing, believe strongly you make your own happiness or misery. But I also contribute this to that I clearly hold my own and not afraid to take on a challenges from mean spirited people who need to be put on their place when they dare to cross the line at work, on this

. I would love to meet a true partner in life who has sincere intentions for a committed relationship based on love, lust, friendship, respect and devotion.
I look for things to appreciate daily. I find happiness in every moment and wish to spend those moments with someone exceptional. I am balanced, giving, dedicated, loyal, fun, fit, intelligent, and educated. I can catch anything life throws at me, but it sure would be nice if you had my back. I follow my dreams and pursue excellence in each task, strive to bring out the best in others, and desire to give the best of myself.
For those of you that don't live here, I have heard a hundred times that you are all in the process of moving here, you swear ;p That's good news for the real estate market! Please get here first. There is NO chance that I will engage in a long distance relationship until my son is out of high school. I will not participate in a relationship that requires that I pack or board pets except for a vacation. I don't know what else I can say to make that clear on this Match machine.
I am selective about whom I meet, as you are. My expectation is that you will be educated or entrepreneurial, polished and articulate. My age criteria is so that we are in the same stage of life---still raising kids and enjoying it; it is NOT about how great you look or feel or act. I highly admire people who are socially conscious. My kind of man is a person of good character that has achieved balance in his life.
Please, lets cut to the chase---just 1 or 2 emails. Really, no pictures for professional reasons? The rest of us have a profession and post pictures. Match.con, not for me!
Winks are silly and add unnecessary steps to this process. I like assertive men. If we meet, lets have interesting dialogue that's casual and fun. I don't want to be put in the hot seat with an interrogation or "Sooo, tell me about yourself....."
I believe that the kind of effort someone is willing to make to get to know another is a great indicator as to whether or not there is potential for a relationship, starting with the first date. There is something to be said about not getting a second chance to make a first impression. Chemistry is not optional for you or me; I am looking for a feeling. I want to make the most out of life with one special man.

. Im a pretty simple girl and I know who i am what i want out of life. I'll be real with you with out all the game playing or drama. I don't want anything too serious rite now, although in time, i would love to find someone that i can adore with all my heart. But for now, I just want to spend time getting to know you while we do fun things toghether. I'm open to new adventures. I'm always smiling and like to laugh at myself and be playful. l am genuine and tell it like it is and am an emotionally strong lady, that just wants to get back what I give in a relationship. I'm looking for a good hearted guy that makes me smile and wlling do the same.

. My life is full of great things and I'm a woman of many sides. When you read on, don't let all my life adventures run you off. That doesn't mean I need constant excitement. It just means I've made the most of my life so far. So here goes: Travel fires my passion. I've traveled to many fabulous places in this world. Many times alone, so I'd love to take you with me. I truly enjoy the opportunity to learn about other cultures and experience things outside my normal comfort level. It makes me appreciate all that I have and all that others have to offer.
I enjoy camping as much as I enjoy a high dollar hotel. I'm fairly adventurous. For example, I've backpacked around Europe and slept on rooftops. I've taken the canopy tour in Costa Rica. It's scared the crud out of me, but it was quite exciting at the same time. I've been bitten by a monkey in Bali and hoped that I wouldn't croak and have to be sent back via UPS. I've been to Berlin when the wall existed. It was really sad and really made me appreciate democracy and all this country has to offer.
I've attended the Emmy's and worked for the Academy Awards. I'm easygoing, spontaneous, thoughtful, and physically fit. I spend my leisure time working out, bicycling, hanging with friends, and enjoying the beach I'm good at communicating and don't mind differing opinions. I like helping people reach their goals and always find a way to reconcile any situation. I'm a great friend and companion.
I have friends I've known since I was 5 years old. I have a great job producing commercials which I truly enjoy. I freelance, so I have plenty of free time to enjoy the world. Things I can't live without include frequent flyer miles, friends and patios, orange juice, warm socks in winter, antihistamines, and lots of pillows. I'm the favorite aunt and a volunteer godmother to many. And one of the best things about me, I have great credit and no debt.
It would be great if you're an outdoorsy person who too loves spontaneity and adventure in life. I want to meet someone who plays tennis, bike rides, hikes, sails, etc. I may not be the best athlete but I do enjoy the outdoors and sports. I'm looking for a true friendship that hopefully grows into a lifetime partnership. I'm looking for someone who can handle relationship ups and downs, has good self-esteem, a positive view of the world and truly values friendships and relationships. Meet me and get to know me, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. But beware, you might fall in love with me.

. I am: mercurial, amused and amusing. An avid reader. Proud of my eclectic tastes in books, music, and other entertainment. Raised in four countries on three continents there's a lot of the world that I love.
You are: Educated...self educated is fine, I'm just stumped by folks who are incurious. Love music and the arts. Broad and esoteric tastes. Someone who has a passion for something, who can disagree with civility, who is interested in and cares about the world.

. Spontaneous, funny, teamplayer, always ready for adventure. I love traveling. I've been lucky to be in different countries, and helped me develop a special appreciation for different cultures.
Love people, really easy to talk to.
I grew up listening to a lot of rock, but as I grow older, I tend to listen to more romantic music.
Love to dance whenever the opportunity...Not that good, but since I'm not shy at all, dont mind trying different steps.
Originally from Argentina, moved to the states 27 years ago...
I'm looking for someone with energy, vivacious ready to conquer the world. I'm doing something new in my life, and love to find someone who wants to share the same dreams...
I have 2 grown kids. Both with college degrees, and really proud of them. They have taught me a lot!!..
I love animals, so that's a must..Nature, .Very spiritual

. Live, love and laugh. I'd like someone to join me for music, movies, dining and beach walks. I enjoy a walk around the neighborhood or through a park as much as going out. I enjoy volunteering to raise money and awareness for my favorite causes. I'm lookin for someone lookin. There's nothing more exciting than a spark! Breath-taking moments start with friendship.
