Date a soulmate from California, United States. "When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability... To be alive is to be vulnerable."
— Madeleine L'Engle
A guy friend of mine told me about men on online dating sites - don't put pics of sunsets or flowers - they want pics of your face, your body because basically that's all they are looking at. And fewer the words the better ... is that true? Because don't all the profiles sounds the same, everyone looking for the same thing??? I'm clueless on dating - seriously, I am.
**random things**
I have tattoos, I need to update my passport, I dont have piercings (except for the ears), I wear cowboy boots, I don't wear tons of makeup, I take BART to work, I can be sarcastic, I can do shots of tequila, I like rollercoasters, Im from the Bay Area, I belong to a Union,I dont like horror movies, I've only been to the snow twice, obviously I have kids, I dont snore or have a certain side of the bed, I own a motorcycle helmet and jacket ... I will be honest with you - and I expect the same; I have varied interests - from car shows to shooting ranges to camping to ballet. I like to try new things, explore new places. If you are looking for hookups - move on down the road to another gal, I'm cheerful, I'm a loyal friend (I've had the best friend since I was 9). If you want to know more, then ask ... Thanks

Meet someone special from United States. What you see is what you get ! I'm tired of games. I am very down to earth and have been told I have a great sense of humor, which is good because I love to laugh. Im passionate and independent ....and would like someone who can add to my life in a positive way. My ideal match would be honorable, loving and respectful. Fnding balance is really important.
My son is 7 and is an amazing a true gift. I'm a busy, single mom, that is the most important role I have. He is my priority and so I must have someone who understands that. I have 80% of the time, with a rotating weekend schedule and 1 night a week that his not with me.
I love to cook, entertain, and be surrounded by people I enjoy. I believe I have great friends and family. My friends have always said, whoever ends up with me will be very lucky! I'm domestic, keep a good home, can dress up or down depending on the need. Pretty much all around type of women.
I believe life is WAY to short to focus on negatives. I believe honesty, communication and respect are the most important for any relationship, so just be honest and real from the beginning ! Chemistry of course needs to be there also! I'm a romantic and still believe that being in love can be amazing ! The movie, The Vow has a scene that describes it perfectly...."I vow to fiercely love you in all your forms, now and forever." My thought is, nobody is perfect, but to have someone truly accept all your forms. That's real !
It would be great to find someone who shares the same type of simple and uncomplicated lifestyle. Spending time together, but realizing personal space is also important. I'd rather want someone then need them to complete my world. I suppose that is the independent part of me. I love being the other half of someone, being in a relationship is definitely my preference as long as it's healthy.
This online "dating" is a new journey for sure....

Date someone special from Castro Valley, United States. Hi, I was born and raised in the Bay Area, I am a very active and energetic person. I am physically fit, passionate, loyal, athletic, fun-loving people person that loves to smile and make people feel comfortable. I enjoy outdoor summer activities, but also exercise indoor 3-4 times a week for cycling, yoga, Pilates/body sculpting. I like the lakes in California for boating and camping and any warm beach. I spend my quiet time reading and I now like to spend more time in the kitchen. I am happier with my life now than ever before and have learned a great deal in the past year or so about myself and my relationships with others.
I am on a continuous spiritual path to become a better person and reflect often on how I could do things differently in the future.
The person I would like to date is also spiritually evolved or striving to learn and grow as we age together. I would like to meet a partner to do things together or apart and enjoy each others company, have some summer fun, and spend the quiet nights with someone I can consider my best friend. That special someone should share a love of books, beaches, dogs, hiking, any water, boating/camping activities and be a positive/understanding person. Please include a photo if contacting me.

Meet a woman from California, United States. I'm the one with the smile, and I like to have fun and laugh! I'm a country girl at heart. If you understand that, you'll understand me. I enjoy horseback riding, reading, music, movies, gardening, and photography, and I love to go dancing every now and then too. Salsa, country, hiphop, house, it doesn't matter. I enjoy them all! My last vacation was to Mexico. It is one of my most favorite places to visit. I have also traveled throughout most of the US. Lived in a few different states too. I just keep coming back to California! I enjoy traveling and experiencing different cultures and regions. When I go somewhere, I want to explore and experience wherever I happen to be. Anything that makes that place unique, I want to go see it. When I leave, I want to feel like I am taking a part of the place home with me, even if it's just some great memories, a few keepsakes, and lots of photographs. I enjoy trying new things, especially since I figure that I can't say that I don't like it until I've tried it. I'm pretty active, although I do know when it's time to relax and enjoy some downtime. I'm one of those people that can go almost anywhere and have a good time. I'm a pretty easy-going kind of girl!
I am looking for someone who is down-to-earth, relaxed, and enjoys the outdoors. He should be a positive type of person that enjoys a variety of activities (not necessarily the same as mine), and he should have similar values to mine, which are family-oriented and more on the traditional side. Someone who enjoys my company as much as I enjoy his. If he can make me laugh, that's a big plus. (and really, that isn't too hard to do!)

Date someone special from United States. I'm a great mix of charm, confidence, sincerity and intelligence with a positive attitude towards the everyday challenges life brings me. My friends love me because I'm genuine and passionate; my coworkers adore me because IРІР‚в„ўm smart, funny and sweet. I was born to be loved and cherished and IРІР‚в„ўd love to give the same back.
I was born and raised in the Ukraine. I grew up in a very traditional and loving environment and from my early childhood I knew what real family is. Every day I observed a very loving and respectful relationship between my parents and this made me who I am now. 17 years ago I came to the US with my son hopping to find a better life for us. Now, that he has grown and is on his own, it is my time to find the love and happiness and IРІР‚в„ўm really hopping I will succeed there as I succeed in everything else.
I'm sure this word is full of great men and one of them is for me. I value generosity, sincerity, intelligence and confidence. I would like my match to be focused on his goals, and consider him-self successful. IРІР‚в„ўm looking for a man with whom I can be comfortable spending time, while being myself; someone with a laid back attitude, and comforting persona. A person with whom I can build a relationship that would last.
This list may be getting long, but there are only a few more traits that I am really looking for:
1. A man who can take my car to a mechanic and not get hustled.
2. A man who can reach the top shelf of the cabinet.
3. A man who can toss out the snake terrorizing my backyard.
4. A man who can hold something while I hammer it to a wall.
5. A man who can read an Ikea instruction manual and understand it.
6. A man who does not mind giving me the wheel, but will always be there to catch it if needed.
7. And most importantly! A man who can make me laugh.
Also, in the spirit of full disclosure, there are some things that really get under my skin. I canРІР‚в„ўt stand it when someone closes a container too tightly for me to open, and I will rarely close them on my own. I hate parking straight, as it is a sign of conformity.
So, after reading this description of myself, have I convinced you that IРІР‚в„ўm the perfect woman?

Meet a soulmate from United States. Thank you for stopping by and more so, for your interest on my profile. My pictures are new. I'm single, caring, honest, very romantic, and a cuddler too. Family and friends are very important to me.
I like sports and enjoy watching some on TV. I love to travel, movies, dinning out, and many other activities. It's fun and entertaining. I would love to find someone with similar interest.... someone sweet, gentle, and with good moral values. I absolutely admire those qualities in a man.
I'm not interested on those with hidden profiles, or players. My soul-mate should be someone who sees the positive of a healthy, amazing, loving relationship. I like affection and love to show affection to my significant other. I would want a long term relationship. Life is short and beautiful.... everyday should be a special one...!

Date a woman from United States. I'm a caring and compassionate person who loves to laugh and make others laugh. Friends describe me as beautiful inside and out, giving, witty, kind, fun, spontaneous, and goofy/playful at times. I'm grateful for my family's love and support always and would do anything for them . I'm passionate about making a positive difference in someone's life each day -even with just a smile or a short supportive conversation and by sharing my gifts. I'm looking for someone I can share my life with, fall in love and grow old together. Someone who will be there for me through it all and vice versa. When I'm in a committed relationship I love to pamper my guy with whatever his heart desires. I'm loving, sincere, loyal and old fashioned. I love to travel and explore new places, spend time at romantic spots with my guy, or even stay home and make his favorite meal, watch a movie or ballgame together. I'm not a high maintenance type of girl but love to get dolled up for a special occasion. Looking for someone who wants to be in love, is honest, kind and somewhat old fashioned. What else can I say? Long hugs, senior couples still holding hands in love and puppies make me smile! If you're looking to date casually and not into committed relationships, holding hands or accidental PDA, I am not for you, good luck with your search, thanks for stopping in and have a great day!!! ;

. Kind hearted really says who I am,but also im sensitive,giving,a hard worker and would like the same...i love kids,but dont want any more from myself...Things I loke to do is shopping,movies,horseback riding,casinos sometimes,church,walking on the beach.

. I take great pride in being a 'nerd' - having been one before it was fashionable and ironically, cool. I believe that success is as Ralph Waldo Emerson defined it (or at least as he has been credited with defining it)...Don't let the nerd personna fool you - I do have a great sense of how to have fun. I have a wine club membership to prove it :)
I love romantic venues and would enjoy the opportunity to get dressed up once in a while to attend a gala or have a fancy dinner. I am just as comfortable packing a picnic so we can sit by the ocean and just marvel at the beauty of life. I am a pretty good cook but please don't expect that every day. Some days, I am going to come home from work with a pizza or Chinese food and we will have a nice dinner conversation over how our day went.
I am looking for a man who is not afraid to be silly, is willing to be vulnerable, and has a tremendous capacity for love while letting me love him back. We all have had our share of pain and hurt. Those experiences don't have to define who we are. Happiness is a choice, just as we have chosen to be here to try to meet that special someone.
My closest friends describe me as kind, warm, compassionate, caring and friendly. I treat all people with respect regardless of their color, creed or occupation. Now that I am older, I find myself grateful for the simple things - love of family and loyalty of friends, random acts of kindess and consideration by total strangers.
I am passionate about animals and children, and that no one should cause them harm. We live in a time of tremendous opportunity and we have a responbility to each other.
I enjoy intelligent, compelling conversations peppered with humor; a walk on the beach; fall days in the wine country; science-fictionfantasy movies; trying out new restaurants or going to the same tried and true hole-in-the-wall.
I hate writing performance evaluations and building up my resume - this certainly feels like a little (or a lot) of both...
If you like strong, fiercely independent, atypical women, then we have plenty to talk about.

. Thankful for the days I have had and look forward to the days ahead. My ideal companion is down to earth, intelligent, honest, and funny. I admire intelligence, perserverance, honesty, integrity, a great sense of humor. I have strong beliefs which might often deem me opinionated and passionate, but that is a chance I am often willing to take if it means standing up for what I believe to be right or fair. Most people may not always agree or like that aspect of my character, but respect the motivation and most importantly appreciate my most redeeming quality, a sharp dry wit!
My current social life is limited by choice, I spend at least 40-45 minutes, 4 days a week at the gym while most of my remaining free time is spent with close friends or home with my son. I enjoy music venues, movies, sporting events, theater arts and would like to meet someone with some of the same interests.
