Date people from California, United States. Well, I was born and raised overseas. I blame my upbringing for making me so travel-hungry. I have to travel and see new places. Actually, even more, I have to live in different places. I cannot fully experience another culture until I live there. Which is why, after college I returned to Germany to teach English. So, I am definitely looking for someone who has a sense of adventure and curiosity and wants to move and see things outside of his accustomed perspective. I try to see everything with a wide, world perspective and would love to meet someone who is curious about what lies out there.
Meet men and women from California, United States. Looking for someone who is caring, who enjoys what he does for a living, and who has a great sense of humor. I have been extremely busy these last few years working full time and pursuing my master's degree in nursing. I just graduated this past May and now have more time to enjoy my personal life.
I am originally from L.A. I lived in Santa Barbara for four years while I attended UC Santa Barbara, then moved back to L.A. In 2003, after graduating from nursing school at Santa Monica College, I moved to San Francisco (and never looked back!) and then to Marin six years ago.
My friends describe as outgoing, caring, dependable, and fun to be around. When I set a goal, I am determined to attain it and give it 110%. I also love to workout (it was running 10ks, marathons and half marathons, weight training, Crossfit, Olympic lifting, and now it's barre classes) - helps keep me balanced and sane. I believe exercise, along with healthy eating habits, are the best health insurance!
I am proud of my academic accomplishments and I think my medal from the 2000 Boston Marathon is pretty awesome!. I am grateful for my wonderful and supportive family, including my mom, brother and his family which includes two adorable boys, and my cousin and his beautiful family.
Though I don't watch that much TV, I do love watching The Colbert Report and The Daily Show - they both make me laugh out loud. And Family Guy!
I am looking for someone who is caring, honest, and reliable. Also needs to like dogs and can make me laugh:) I am passionate about caring for others in both my personal and professional life.
Date a woman from California, United States. There are so many amazing things to do and see in this lifetime, I'm looking for someone to share this adventure with. Living in California I enjoy taking advantage of our beautiful area and everything it has to offer. I love the fact I can hike Mt. Tam in the morning and still head into the city for a night on the town. I am a total foodie! I enjoy everything culinary. There really isn't anything better than good coffee, great wine, new beer! I love exploring SF and Oakland looking for new and interesting restaurants and bars. If any of this sounds interesting, I'd love to hear from you!
Meet men and women from United States. It's important for me to live a life filled with passion and I do it with a smile and laugh as big as California and a down to earth East coast edge.
I have a strong work ethic. I have a rewarding career that I love as a program director of a counseling center working with children, adults, and families and have a small private practice.
I know how to be committed, caring, and conscious in a relationship and one of my special traits is I'm a woman who a guy feels 'refreshing' to be around. I'm an open and honest person and I'm comfortable in there being kindness and laughter even about difficult and private things - even when I'm the subject in my own stand up comedy routine.
While I have been living in the Bay Area for 15 years and have shed my NY/NJ accent, I still bring an East coast realness and if your lucky because your someone who feels comfortable hangin' there, Ill show you my naughty joking wit that can even make men blush.
Bonus points if you can join in. ;)
You name it-I'm up for it!
I have followed Lance in his last Tour de France, trekked mountains peaks (Kili, Nepal, Peru, NZ) lost myself in amazing cultures and adventures (Bhutan, Cuba, India, meditation retreat in France, studying and biking in Italy, wine tasting in Europe, etc. ) while throughily enjoying living life large closer to home.
I can be found creating fun unusual adventures in the midst of the myriad exciting Bay Area activities, such as, frequently gallivanting on my road bike, hiking Mt Tam, as well as, enjoying fine dining or a great cool local hang out, playing bar dice or just relaxing at home.
While I'm not a huge cook-I can make one 'mean' Sicilian homemade tomato sauce and pasta. You know you're in with me if I share the special ingredient.
In friendships and partners, I look for a genuine goodness, intelligence, humor, passion and that little special unique something.
My hope is to find a honest and caring man that is intelligent, fun/funny, active and is their own person to share toegther in a special spark and all that life has to offer.
Date a woman from United States. I know that first impressions either get you in the door or get the door slammed in your face. And, this is your first impression of me. We are given little opportunity to allow ourselves to be seen by another. I am so caught up in my everyday living, working, parenting, schooling, driving, shopping, everythinging that I don't know who sees me and I definitely am not seeing others. So, my push to even entertain the idea of meeting someone via this site is a push to be seen, heard, understood, appreciated...a need to laugh, engage in meaningful conversation, talk alot about nothing.
I am a proud mother of three spectacular people. I have raised two and am working on the third little precious monster who keeps me forever on my toes. I have been known to be a bit feisty and playfully sarcastic. I enjoy reading, gardening(new to this but, so rewarding), dancing, sports, relaxing at home, museums, really just about anything.
I don't like spiders and the thought of mountain lions keeps me away from hiking. However, could do that with a big dog along. (don't ask...or do later)
I would simply enjoy the company of an exciting, fun, warm, interesting man who understands the value and art of conversation, loves the sunshine and accepts the rain as natural/needed and is open to explore, let go and live.
Meet someone special from San Anselmo, United States. I appreciate the great profile writers out there! Every other day, I tell myself that I am absolutely taking down my profile. Nerves, rejection, and that belief in old-fashioned meeting the right person when I'm not looking. I believe in kindness, the value in people and their beliefs and passions. I have always been supportive, as I feel like we're all here on this journey together, so be kind.
I have learned from mistakes and now understand what really does make me happy: good friends, family and appreciation for the love in my life. I am really looking for someone to share that with. I enjoy college sports, and especially when my Ohio State Buckeyes are doing well. I also attended the Univ of Texas, so every once in a while, i'm torn. But as a third-generation Buckeye, I kinda bleed scarlet and grey. But more importantly, I love adventure and I can look back in my life, and forward to, lots of adventure. I strive for fun, excitement, and fulfillment. My career is in digital advertising, and I have an entrepreneurial spirit. I have started and sold two companies, AND I don't think I am finished yet. Since college graduation, I have lived in Taos, NM, Tahoe, Santa Barbara, NYC, LA and the Bay Area. Those first few years were to ski and have some fun, and after doing the ski bum thing, I helped launch a successful Internet company in SB. I opened up our NYC office, and then left to work at an agency in SF. From there, went to LA for a few years to work, and play, but after a while, it's time to leave LaLa land. I was ready, and I've been back up here for over 6 years now.
I love exploring, getting to know people, as I mentioned, laughter. Sense of humor is wonderful, even sprinkled with some sarcasm. I'd love to laugh over a couple of beers or glasses of wine somewhere unexpected and get to know each other. I am looking for someone who is happy and comfortable with themselves. Confidence, a reasonable amount, goes a long way.
Date men and women from California, United States. I'm originally a Jersey girl, but the Bay Area feels like home too. I find pleasure in simple things. I could hike for hours. I couldn't live in a world without dogs.

I'm good at seeing the best in people.
I'm looking for a sweet guy with a quiet confidence and a silly streak.
Meet people from San Anselmo, United States. Sentimental, loyal, honest, outwardly conservative but privately the opposite. Looking for someone who wants intimacy.

Date someone special from San Anselmo, United States. About me:
I poke people for a living and I'm one of the few people I know who really loves being at work...it's a unique career in medicine that challenges my mind every day and opens my heart. IРІР‚в„ўm also an explorer with an insatiable wanderlust. I've traveled the world (45 countries and counting), lived overseas, enjoy learning about different cultures and people, and continue to look for ways to leave this planet a better place than I found it. And IРІР‚в„ўm a devoted mother enjoying the journey of co-parenting two delightful girls who bring me much joy and insight into what I still need to work on in this lifetime.
I thrive in the great outdoors and nature. Favorite activities include mountain and road biking, skiing, surfing (warm water, yes I'm a wimp), climbing, yoga, hiking and camping-and I'm a fairly decent tennis partner when my serve is on. I also appreciate creative photography and art, music that makes you move or think, gardening and healthy food and I incorporate all into my daily living. San Francisco was home for a decade, and also Boston, LA, Paris, and many other great spots so IРІР‚в„ўm part urban gal and appreciate all the city has to offer--which is why I recently moved back to the Bay Area from Colorado. And I've always wanted to learn to salsa in case you like to dance. I also live to laugh and I think Jon Stewart is brilliant (would you be jealous if I told you I have a crush on him?)
My friends would describe me as silly, smart, charismatic, positive, reliable and thoughtful. My glass is always half full. They would also tell you I'm a great cook, I turn up my stereo really loud, my profile photos don't do me justice (hey, they're all I have) and I mountain bike mainly because it gives me a good excuse to drink beers with friends after a ride :)
About you:
You are self-assured, yet humble enough to laugh at yourself and make me laugh- preferably often! You work hard and enjoy your profession but still have time for your friends and your hobbies. You are intelligent and educated, but consider yourself a lifetime student. You are well-traveled and still yearn for new experiences with a dynamic partner. You are soulful and know how to look inward.
You are an outdoorsman. You are physically fit, but not solely a gym guy -you prefer to play outside for exercise. YouРІР‚в„ўre a hopeless romantic and a sensual lover, but also practical and have learned a few lessons about relationships through your experiences in love and loss.
I believe I have all the qualities I am seeking in you. OK, well maybe I'm not so handy with a power drill!
Please email me (no winks) if you consider yourself intelligent, playful, creative and perhaps an old soul. Don't be shy...
