Date someone special from Benicia, United States. I would like to find someone to have conversations that may be challenging and fun. A relief after the day as we come together. Recognizes sweetness and can share sweet time together. Playful of course! We are who we are and taking a smiling deep breath, we move forward.
I am open minded and patient about most things and people. I look for honesty and a willngess to be open and playful.
Laughter is so important and remembering to not take ourselves too seriously, which sometimes can happen. Appreciation of each others imperfections can only bring us closer.
I enjoy small intimate dinner parties, and large parties too. Close friends and family are so important. I love the mountains, the ocean, camping, exploring new places.Tahoe is a favorite short distance trip to go for a few days to breath deeply and play. I enjoy food from all cultures and types I am open to many types of dining.
My life is fairly smple, drama is not a part of it in any way. I'm looking for someone honest and comfortable with himself, not trying to be anything more or less than he is.
I want to give you that smile and knowing look that says, 'it's you and only you'. I bring many things to the table and it takes both our personalities to mix it up.
Let's just enjoy some of the same things together, we may have seperate interests that can be shared with each other or simply have appreciation of each others individuality, this shows a deep respect and trust of the others uniqueness.
Developed intimacy and trust are precious things that can keep and hold a great connection.
On another note, I long to have a travel partner and I HAVE to eat and drink my way through Italy and France if it's the last thing I do! I have been there once and still have so much more to see and do. Plus there's a few other places to explore here in this counrty as well. More of the Northwest and Southwest, South and parts of Central America. Etc.
I love to cook, eat, drink, listen to music, you know, pretty much as much as you do.
I think anything other than this is best explored together, this is the point of this isn't it?s
Meet a woman from Benicia, United States. No matter how good life is, you can always strive to make it even better! I am an optimistic person and am generally a happy person. I am compassionate towards others and like voluntering. I am friendly and and am comfortable in any social setting. In addition I am a strong and independent lady, I know my lifeРІР‚в„ўs path and have worked diligently to create a stable and successful life on many levels. The greatest foundation upon which I have built my life is that of family values. In turn, I believe the best foundation for a healthy relationship consists of honesty and trust. Without those, you are standing on shifting sands. Life is meant to be a celebration, and I would love to share the fun and adventure with nice person with a loving heart. Preferably he would be out-going and socially adept and courteous towards others. He appreciates that relationships require a balance of give and take between the individuals, and he is willing to compromise. A sense of humor is a must, along with integrity, responsibility, and a strong lust for life. In the department of romance an award-winning kisser would be the icing on the cake. I crave the type of relationship that allows you to grow when you are together, allowing each partner time for individual pursuits (like he golfs when I'm shopping for instance), yet makes you miss them even more when you are apart. Physically, I desire to be fully attracted to this man. Looks are important to ignite the chemistry. He lives a healthy and has a somewhat active lifestyle. No couch potatoes please. The personal relationships he has with his family are vital and strong. He is neat, clean, presentable, and has good old-fashioned manners. My life is together, and I hope yours is, too. I miss being in love and sharing the adventure of life with that special someone. I'd love to hear from you if you'd like to explore the possibilities.
Date someone special from United States. Looking for a kind, warm man who cares about the world, loves adventure and travel, and trying new experiences. Sense of humor is the most important thing. I love to learn new things, and love immersing myself in other cultures.
Meet a woman from California, United States. This is the hardest question to answer. But after plenty of thought and some help from the examples. I was able to pull the nervous here I am out there for you to read. That describes how I feel.
I love the look on someones face after doing something kind. I want someone who doesn't mind when I go out of my way for just special moment in time whether it's for someone I know or just holding the door open for a complete stranger and will be beside me watching each special moment that life can offer unfold.
I adore hanging out with my friends at a BBQ or a picnic or a drive in movie, sometimes a qwuick dip in the lake on a hot day.
I love my family very much and will go out of my way to be there for them in good times and bad. I surround myself with with good people, good food and fine wine. (I'd love to picnic in California's wine country.)
I would love to have a partner who likes to travel and explore what life has to offer. This special someone has to be ambitious, with a healthy lifestyle for us to get the most out of what the world has to offer.
Is this special someone you?
Date someone special from Benicia, United States. I'm easy going, cute, personable, and I like to have fun. I'm sometimes silly, maybe a little goofy, I laugh easily and smile a lot.
I'm looking to meet a man with some of those same qualities and similar interests. A nice smile, a good laugh, and a twinkle in his eye.
. If you have spent the first part of you life taking care of your family and enhancing your career opportunities and are now seeking to enjoy a new chapter with finding new adventures including travel and exploring new things (even a new recipe) than we already have something in common. I am passionate about the simple things in life like walking in the rain or the first fallen snow yet also enjoy a healthly portion of political banter. My goal over the next 5 years is to ponder the universe and try even harder to understand the human spirit.
One avenue in this exploration will include exploring local talent in the theater,art gallaries, museums, concerts and/or local clubs featuring someone new and homegrown.
I have noticed a trend in some Match folk that they emphasize their exercise prowess so I am compelled to say that while I am wealthy in being healthy I am not interested in climbing Mt Everest or sky diving over the Pacific. However, I enjoy a good bike ride or hike especially when it ends at a winery!
. It’s simple…we’re both here to meet someone we’re attracted to and with whom we can make a meaningful relationship. This connection might take one of many forms….. a new friend or companion or lover…or perhaps a long term partner or soul mate. What’s important is knowing what fits us best, and staying open to the possibilities since this mysterious process often happens in ways that are quite different than we ever imagine. My preference is to start slow and see what develops. My hope is that what develops is a long term, committed relationship....but it's important not to get too far ahead of the process.
For that reason, I donРІР‚в„ўt have a long list of must-haves such as particular physical attributes or level of material wealth or interests we should share ( though some would be a plus). I am more interested in who you are and what you think than in just what you do. I am attracted to men who are self-aware; who are kind, compassionate, curious, and intelligent; who listen as well as they communicate; who have an easy, playful sense of humor; and have an appreciation of the inner and outer worlds. And I would describe myself in the same terms.
I have a even, grounded, playful, and compassionate spirit. I am more drawn to beauty, meaningful conversation, and ideas than to the material or the mainstream. My favorite holiday is Halloween (and I always dress for it), I assemble found objects for fun, sing in the car, enjoy dancing and music of all kinds (except reggae and rap, sorry!), like documentaries and Jackie Chan, science and science fiction, the arts and history. I have lived all over world, and have finally settled in beautiful Benicia…..though my work life is in Berkeley. Among my current goals are to simplify my life, age gracefully, and love my future partner, my family and friends well because they are the sweetest treasures of all. And, of course, there’s much more, but you’ll have to find out for yourself.
I’ve been told that I’m quite direct. It’s true that I try to express myself as clearly as I can and don’t play games …so I’ll take that as a compliment. Along the same line, I don’t generally respond to winks, but would prefer a more personal and direct contact. If you have found something of interest here, I’ll hope to meet you. Until then, stay open to the mystery and magic, and be well.
. I am centered, romantic and interesting. I love stimulating conversation. I am very comfortable in all social settings, and also very content just to relax at home. I'm poised & elegant, love to laugh and will always choose to be happy rather than right.
I have a career that I love. I am self-employed, so I am in control of my schedule, instead of the other way around. I love traveling. Mexico & Hawaii are two of my favorite vacation spots.
I'm blessed with 3 grown children, 3 amazing grandchildren. Family and close friends are a real treasure. I'd love to find someone who shares that sentiment.
I enjoy all outdoor activities, love all water sports, and love swimming in the ocean. I coached & played soccer for years, and love watching a great match.
Incidently, I love to dance! Next time you're out dancing, notice how hard it is to frown and dance at the same time.
