Date women from United States / Arkansas / Oakland, 49 year old

Date someone special from Oakland, United States. Summer is coming! Ranging from epic adventures at music festivals to a quiet enjoyment of a glass of wine at sunset there is so much to do that is more fun when shared. Be low keyed, curious about the world, kind, and honest. And able to feel equally comfortable with a new group of people as you would with a good book.
I love learning, and I find almost anything as fair game for a conversation, whether it is music, technology,world events, or business. I don't follow celebrities, sports or fashion. I value experiences over material items and don't like to shop. I've traveled a fair amount and can speak passable Spanish and hope to one day spend more time overseas. I remember people's stories more than their faces or their names. I like to get outside and exercise frequently. My musical tastes are elcetic and range from folk to electronica with a dash of rock. I have one son that lives with me in his 20s who is going to school.

Meet a soulmate from Oakland, United States. I am smart, intelligent, and witty, know what I want and know my limitations. II am grateful for all the things that I have, for my family and friends, but most of all for my son. After my divorce I dedicated my time to raise my son and to better myself. Most of my time has been expended between being a good parent, working and going to school; socializing and/or having fun was not a priority at the time but I do enjoy being active, making friends, going places, etc. For many reasons did not date for the last 12 years. I traveled a bit to Colombia for I wanted my son to get to know my family and my culture.
One of the reasons for withdrawing from most every social event was that my divorce hurt me intolerably; never imagine I would get divorce. I was angry and resentful and unable to relate to others in many ways. I needed time for myself to heal so I took it. After a while I got use to my independence and success at school and work. However, I miss having intellectual and insightful conversations, enjoying a good movie besides Disney or Pixar, holding hands, looking someone to the eyes, daydreaming about someone especial, waiting for that call, spending time with someone who lately has been stealing my dreams.
I am attractive to someone that is mature, smart, intelligent, tall and slender, funny and secure; appearance is important but personality is unbeatable. I am looking for someone with common values and goals, someone with the ability to forgive and be forgiven, to be challenged and confronted without getting defensive, someone who has a gentle manner and is able to be silly when it is appropriate.
The ideal guy for me has humility, a generous spirit, someone who cares and shares freely about himself and his needs, ideas, hopes and dreams; a man with purpose and direction in life. I would love to meet someone with a sense of humor that is never at someone elseРІР‚в„ўs expense, but who can be clever and witty, someone who can relax and participate with others in activities that delight and refresh the soul; a guy that appreciates beauty and quiet, as well as screaming on the roller coaster.
I expect to meet a human being not someone perfect, someone who can relax socially and can talk to almost anyone without the need for drugs or alcohol to loosen up. My ideal match is a man who wants to grow with me and who is willing to grow in different directions if needed. I have strong values which, by the way, I try to evaluate frequently to be more compassionate and empathetic and less judgmental. I can be an amazingly loyal friend;who knows I may even be your other half.

Date a woman from Oakland, United States. I've always had a thoughtful and outgoing nature. Whether I'm cooking an impromptu feast for my peeps, creating a treasure hunt for my kids (just to hear the screams of glee), or working as a life and business coach, I've always had the soul of a helper -- without the goody-two-shoes or martyr mentality. What does this mean for you? Probably a lot of fun. I'll surprise you with a dinner picnic at the beach because you've been stuck in an office all day. I'll send you a steamy poem to stir your imagination. I'll happily go to the ballgame even though I don't know squat about baseball (soccer I know). I'll likely take you to the theatre one weekend and a tantra workshop the next weekend. And although I might be the first woman who starts a food fight in the kitchen, the first woman who teases you as I whip you at Scrabble or pool, the first woman who encourages you to go out for a night (or weekend) with the boys, I'm also the woman who people call when they need an insightful listener who will help them remember their heart's desire no matter what the situation. The woman who conjures magic and romance from thin air and who has a bottomless reservoir of passion and imagination. The woman who gives you a (silent) back rub when you've had a tough day. The woman who helps you be a bigger man "for yourself" through love and championing, not nagging and criticism. Relationships aren't all fun and games, but I can assure you that we are going to laugh, kiss, and grow a lot more than everybody else.
I miss the pleasure and emotional, physical, and intellectual richness that comes from sharing my life with a special man like you. I miss the indecipherable hold of your gaze that says a thousand things and promises a thousand more. I miss your touch and the way you laugh and your thinking and your heart, even though I haven't acquainted myself with you yet. If you are an attractive, professional man who is generous with his heart, mind, and body, and lives from a place of love, appreciation, and conviction for his values, I'd like to hear from you. Your closest friends and past loves would say you're smart, sensual, honest, playful, emotionally mature, kind, and hopefully, a little goofy. Be fit with a few delicious muscles, but know that cultivating your heart and mind are more important than cultivating your body. Non-smoker, light drinker, no regular drug use, DD free, no mental illness.
All that I am offering is my kiss, my touch, my radiance, my mind, my heart, my laugh, my love. I'm ready to create magic with one special guy -- perhaps that's you.
Be well and be with joy.

Date a soulmate from Arkansas, United States. I'm an easy going, sensitive woman, looking for friendship and companionship first...if it turns into something deeper than that, that's fine, too. Openness and honesty are a must. I love to laugh, and am open to trying new things. I'm into fitness, and enjoy spending time with friends and family. I look forward to getting to know that special someone, whether it's hanging out or staying in...I value taking the time to move beyond the surface to see what's inside - because that's what really counts in the end. I'm not into conflict and drama...life's just too short to not live it to the fullest and with joy.
I like a man who is confident and caring, and who can fit into many different crowds. I also appreciate thoughtfulness and a good sense of humor. To me, it's the little things, not the big things that matter. My ideal is having someone I can count on, who I can give my support to, and who makes me smile.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Being a single mother and raising my son and daughter on my own made me stay away from alot of dating, I wanted to set an example for them and didn't want them to see their mom going in and out of relationships. I was very careful who I had around them. I have worked so hard over the years to take care of my family all by myself. Being a single mom has been hard, scarey at times but the most rewarding experience. My kids mean the world to me! One day you look up and realize the years are passing by. My kids want for me to be happy and to find an amazing love and I am ready to do just that~ I have also spent most of my life helping others and it makes me happy to do so but in that process I never stopped to take care of me. I really want to do that now~
The feeling of being in love, the passion two people can have for each other, that is what I want, it is what I long for. ~. That feeling of every time your phone rings or you get a text message it’s from the one you love and your heart races with butterflies. Anxiously waiting to be in each other’s arms and share that deep passionate kiss and never wanting it to stop… I do love to kiss...and when you look into each other’s eyes, it’s just magic… Does this exist, I’m holding onto hope… I guess you can say I am a hopeless romantic and I love a man who will open a door for me, hold my hand, put his arm around me and is romantic at heart… I love to laugh and I tend to make others laugh a lot without trying, I guess I can be goofy but I like that about me…I love a good sense of humor. I am very compassionate and caring and never want to hurt anyone. I am old fashioned, I love to cook I also love to cook together and taste the food together while sipping on some wine and laughing… I love to sing so you have to be a good sport about it. I’m not to bad so I don’t think you will need ear plugs…Even better if you sing with me… I love kids and love being around them.. My kids are 22 and 25 but they're still my babies… I love to write children’s books and am in the process now of getting my book published. I love to take long walks especially if I am walking with my dog. I love dogs especially Pitts!
I am looking for a man who is kind hearted, loyal, trustworthy, emotionally available, honest, romantic, funny, playful, compassionate and rugged, manly. A man who is stable and ready to live life! I guess if I had to describe what would truely make me happy I would say: I want some land so that "we" can have a shelter for Pitts that need to be rescued. Be able to love them and make them feel safe then find good gomes for them , keep some too.. Have a man that is strong, rugged but gentle and kind and thoughtful and faithful. A man that I can have amazing passion with. Have a nice home where all the kids can come to for holidays, or just any day and we can all be together as a family..Even better if on Sunday's we have big family dinners. I'm Italian so I can cook some amazing Lasagna or sauce for pasta.. Have our doors always open to our children, family and friends.. Where they say they can always find food cooking, cold beer in fridge or a nice bottle of wine on the counter.. Sounds corny I know but I'm just being honest here. Be able to travel and see the world when ever possibe with the one I love. And make enough money one day where I can give alot away to those less fortunate...I don't have much, but I have a good heart. I'm not a fancy girl as a matter of fact im pretty simple~ But It makes me feel good inside to help others and I want to share my life with a good man who has a big heart as well.. And maybe just maybe we can get a Harley and go for nice rides on the weekend.. Must love Dogs,sports and music.....and must be romantic, or at least sometimes... (I'm very new to Match.com so please be patient with me...

Date a woman from United States. My dream is to live close enough by the water to see it out my window someday, and the rest is magic. Hope you are very intelligent, and truly "get" (appreciate) my irreverent/wry East Coast humor. We share the daily ups and downs of life together. I hope you have more skill at cooking than I do, but I have a few dishes under my belt. I also hope you are outspoken and a good conversationalist. Yeah, I love discussing politics, cultural events and getting back rubs and my confessions are: I watch TV and I'm not a cougar. My dogs enjoy chasing cats, so I'm hoping you don't have any!?!
I prefer words over winks and I'm hoping you are sweet, nurturing and love to laugh at life!

. I enjoy dancing, eating, reading, movies, connecting with friends, and personal growth experiences. My friends appreciate my gentleness, sensitivity, humor, warmth, kindness, patience and playfulness.

. IРІР‚в„ўm a happy, open woman who loves to laugh looking for a funny, honest man to share the ride.
and never watch TV unless IРІР‚в„ўm doing something else at the same time. I listen to the radio all day when IРІР‚в„ўm home, mostly current & classic rock.
My perfect match will be honest & straightforward (like me) as well as attractive and fit. YouРІР‚в„ўll be intelligent, know how to communicate and hopefully make me laugh until my sides hurt
Those are the basics – but there’s plenty more to say. Send me an email or a wink if you’re interested in hearing more. Let’s get to know each other and see what happens!

. I'm a very spiritual person and I would like to meet someone with the same interest. I like to watch and attend basketball and football games. I like music concerts such as Anthony Hamilton, Maze, the Whispers and such.
