Date a woman from United States. Mountains and ocean and grandkids and my family (not in that order) are the loves of my life. I am a camper, hiker, skiier, swimmer and snorkeler. I have a terrific trainer who makes me sweat twice a week. I play at a part time job in an outdoor store with my dearest friends. In fact, 4 of us regularly go camping, hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, whitewater rafting, (actually, being launched into the 40 deg rapids helped us check that off our bucket list) One of my friends has a whale watching business, and yesterday we were near the Coronado Islands, up close & personal to some blue whales, not to mention hundreds of leaping dolphins, a minky whale, black nettle jelly fish. I always learn something when I spend time with my friend on the water. Another friend taught me to go under the water, diving in Little Cayman. Being in or on or under the water ranks right up there for me...next to mountains.
I grew up in Idaho, camping in our station wagon and fly fishing on the Snake River with my family. I inherited my mom's love of standing in hip boots in the middle of a river, drinking in the smell of pines and the sounds of the water, waiting and watching for a bite :)) Winters we were ice skating on the frozen field across the street or back yard, or skiing at a local mountain. Twice a year we made the trip to Sun Valley. Some of my best memories are flying into a friend's ranch in the primitive area where we spent our days riding horses, drinking from a stream..I can still remember the taste. As a result, mountains are rooted deeply in me...my favorite go-to place as an adult is my cousins' ranch in Colorado. The minute I first see the mountains emerging I am giddy and smiling.
I have a wonderful family. My son & family (3 grandchildren) live in Kansas City, and I make as many trips there a year as possible. My daughter and family (again, 3 grandchildren...how lucky am I!) live here in San Diego. I can't believe how fast they are growing up...my oldest is 16, driving!!! and plays varsity basketball. My youngest is already 8 going on 25. I feel very blessed to be a young Gramma, actively enjoying their sports, skiing with them or crashing in waves at WindnSea.
My careers included homemaker, direct marketing and catalog manager. My education (BS & some graduate school) is in Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences. For the past 11 years I have been working part time in my favorite outdoor store where I have found friends who like to play where I like to play, namely the outdoors...we camp in the Sierras, Yosemite, the desert, Tahoe....as often as we can. This group makes me belly laugh, an activity I have found to be essential.
I lived in Italy when I was 19 and am seriously dreaming of returning there for a long-overdue visit. I'm finding this time of life ideal for traveling to other countries to experience the culture, the people, the language the customs and food. I'm sooo ready.
As for the man I'm looking to have in my life as a friend, companion and who knows??? Someone who isn't a couch potato for sure. I need to be with someone who enjoys living an active lifestyle, loving the outdoors is a must, someone who enjoys adventure but also down time. My family is very important to me, honesty is key and kindness, integrity a given.
Meet someone special from United States. New to the San Diego area. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and visit there frequently. I am adventurous, enjoy the outdoors and travel. My family is very important to me.
I am looking for someone who is honest, sincere, loves last minute get aways, has a great sense of humor and above all wants that special person in their life to to be a best friends first and share all that life has to offer. Please be honest about your age and have recent photos.
I have been widowed for almost five years and I am retired. I have a great sense of humor. I ventured to San Diego in my motor home last December and fell in love with the weather. I traded motor home living for a condo in the Mission Valley area.
I spend a lot of tine in the Huntington Beach area.
Date a soulmate from United States. They said i'm a caring, compassionate, giving, tolerant, considerate and very loving person. But am grateful to be a professional, intelectual, educated, witty and knowledgeable person with a healthy mind and soul. I could be religious at times. I do admire people with sense of humor but with finesse and etiquettte.
Someone who can deliver to put smile on my face, sincere and faithful, thoughtful and understanding and above all very loving not ashamed to say he loves me in any given situation, supportive not critical, never rude and cynical.
More to talk about if the right time comes.There's more to me than this writing, I'll tell you later. I don't go by fill-in the blanks as eye to eye meeting in person and body language will tell who the person you really is. A lot can be said in this page but none could be true but meeting in person if there is chemistry will surely provide a lot of answers in the way the conversation goes. To see is to believe.
People could say this and that to portray a character, hiding in charades, all in fantasy and make believes, but an assessment in bone and flesh is the ultimate of what a peron say who he really is without make believes.....
I do love singing ( videoke/karaoke), love listening to relaxing romantic music, dancing of any kind, meeting interesting people as just some of the few of my ideas of fun.....Though not really a good coffee lover can take some, to join the call of the situation. I do enjoy movies here and there, plus dining out to some fancy restaurants if the chance calls for. Am very flexible and careful with how I present myself, quite conscious of my appearance. I do not like lousy dressers and those who don't put concern on how they appear to the public, as am a decent person myself and wants my date to be decent too.
Meet a woman from San Diego, United States. Who am I? I am an intelligent, active, vivacious, curious woman with a good heart and positive outlook. I want someone who shares my qualities of being open minded, energetic, independent and adventurous with a keen intellect and a great sense of humor. I'm blessed with wonderful friends and family who are an important component in my life. I like to have fun and laugh but I also have a serious side and am the type you can trust and depend on.
I care about animals and children, those less fortunate and the earth we inhabit. I do what I can to support causes that support them and I endeavor to leave more kindness in the world than was present the day before.
I enjoy a variety of activities which could include a day on the water, a walk at one of our beautiful beaches, a hike at Torrey, a bike ride at Mission Bay or the Silver Strand or a visit to the meditation gardens in Encinitas. For travel there's a long weekend to Bryce, the Grand Canyon, Santa Barbara or back east. Periodically I take a trip to Europe, Asia or South America (there are so many places to see!). I am a good cook and enjoy entertaining. You don't have to be a cook but if you can chop or tend the grill, it's a plus, as I truly enjoy an evening of cooking a good meal together and kicking back with a glass of wine, good conversation and maybe, a movie. Spending quality time with my significant other is important to me but so is time on our own to pursue individual interests or just relax so that when we do come together it is special and interesting.
Who are you? You are intelligent, positive and kind with an adventuresome spirit and good sense of humor. It is important to you to be active, stay fit and be healthy and you are playful and fun to be with. You are secure and good with family and friends, involved in and have a passion for whatever you do in life, but also time for others. You share my overall values and some of my interests, but also have your own. You are open to jointly learning about new things and are looking for an equal partner to spend your time and share your life with. Is this you?
Date someone special from San Diego, United States. Just back from Italy--Bongiorno!
My friends describe me as classy, intelligent, compassionate, sincere and sensual. My positive attitude is infectious! I radiate joy, authenticity and wholeheartedness. I want to share all the wonderful experiences life has to offer with someone special. I am rational, romantic and idealistic all at once!
I am fortunate to work in a professional field I am still passionate about, where I contribute to others and can make a difference in the world. I am interested in meeting a man who already has an active, interesting life full of friends. I celebrate being fully alive and look forward to embracing a warm and attentive connection with a special man.
I enjoy Business, the Arts, Architecture and Interior Design. For fun I dance, read interesting books, watch TED Talks, travel, and this month am attending Chautauqua Institute. I am very involved with a philanthropy that makes a difference. I love to attend Orchestra Nova, live “house” concerts and small dinner parties with friends. I move as I listen to the Blues, Rock or Salsa music.
As I am a "work in progress", I am looking for a Partner who has combined success in business with some self-awareness, as have I. I believe dating requires relationship skills and a great deal of self-knowledge to make it AWESOME. No one gets a manual for this stuff--it takes some attention.
I’m a “techie” compared to my friends and enjoy the challenge of learning more each year. Not having much family, I consider yours to be a possible bonus.
Meet a soulmate from San Diego, United States. I am physically active, honest, sincere, trustworthy, compassionate, financially independent and emotionally stable. Friends say I have energy to burn and that I am dependable, caring, kind and spontaneous. Unsolicited Positive comments from others make me smile. I am most thankful for my past career achievements because I impressively held my own at the administrative level in a dominating environment without loosing the lady in me.. My social life is mostly going places with girfriends, and or alone. Enough is enough. As you can see by my photo, I love to smile and not take everything so seriously. I love to just be able to be me.. I am looking for a relationship that gives me pleasure and joy, and keeps me refreshed. I am passionatee about not wanting to continue A solo exixtence if I don't have to.. Life is just too short, and tomorrow is not promised to any of us. I am a people person who thinks that the color of ones skin or where they are from makes no difference. I am far from perfect, and I am not a 10, so I am not looking for Mr perfect 10. I like to drink wine, so I indicated moderate drinker because I may have 3 glasses of wine a week at home alone, so how is that social? (smile). There is so much more that can be discussed, so lets talk if you think you might be interested.
Date a woman from California, United States. Widowed for 3 years, I've grown independently strong but am still seeking a regular companion who loves life and loves to laugh!
I'm most comfortable in blue jeans but clean up nicely when appropriate. I'd like the same in a man. I'm honest and straight-forward, looking for same. While we're all looking for companionship mine doesn't have to be 24-7.
Hopefully there's someone who is looking for a friend to share both everyday and special events while still having a separate life.

I like to watch a movie now and then, and enjoy nature programs, dateline and true life stories.
I am a good listener, and would like to meet someone who shares values where we can compliment each others life. I value open communication, trust and mutual respect.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. i just want someone who can just be honest and be respectful and have fun doing things together not taking life to serious but still enjoying each other company going places and setting and talking about we want in life
. SOMEONE TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE... POSSIBLE DO THINGS TOGETHER..WITH...NO COMMITTMENT, OR STRINGS ATTACHED... EVEN GO DUTCH..I AM LIBERATED....THANK YOU
A COMPANION...WHO HAS SIMILARE LIKES OR DISLIKES..THANKYOU.
. Happy, smart, funny, non-judgemental, non-materialistic lover of Life. Good listener, very smart shopper, not-bad cook. Comfortable in most social settings, but prefer one-on-one.Optimistic nature, positive thinker. Don't do "whiners" well, although I have a sympathetic ear when called for, and am always ready to lend a helping hand. Looking for friend, lover, companion to share my flexible, unencumbered life. Not looking for a human ATM machine!
Enjoy just about anything that is not life-threatening. Sharing increases the pleasure ; allowing time for solitude is essential. Love to spoil and be spoiled. Mutual respect is a "must", as is good communication. The ability to laugh at oneself and at the absurdities of Life can make a relationship stay on an even keel, and keep things real.
I play tennis as often as I can, but am not a fanatic (or an "A" player). I just love the game. If you can handle a raquet, that would be fun, but not a deal-breaker if not. I think a relationship flourishes when both partners have their own interests. I have a set of golf clubs, but I'm saving them until I'm too old to play tennis (:-)). I walk 2-3 miles most days (calories in - calories out), hike occasionally, and would do more with a partner. My great love is travel - near or far - and I would love to find a great travel comapnion. Traveling together can be a great testing-ground for Life! Always prefer to be outdoors, given a choice, I get great pleasure from the simple things - smelling fresh-cut grass, walking through a dense forest, listening to the gurgle of a river (and catching some fish), or being on top of a mountain enjoying the vista (with someone special, of course). Enjoy a cozy meal at home as much as a fine restaurant, or a picnic. It's all about the company. Also enjoy settling in with a good book - in my favorite chair or on my terrace while soaking up the sun. (Companiable reading is a little-touted pleasure). Sharing books is a joy.
If you enjoy travel (road trips to global adventures), and have the time and means to do so, and find some of the things above interesting, I would love to hear from you.
. My family and friends are important to me. I would like to meet somebody that has strong family ties. I like to stay busy ...no couch potato in this life. Golf is great. Sailing is fun and relaxing for me. I love to entertain a crowd and cook my favorite dishes.
I have been in the real estate industry working for major builders in So. California for over 20 years, but I have been retired for the last year and not so sure it is for me.
I love to travel and Europe is my favorite because of my background...Dad Italian...Mom Greek and French that is where I have focused my travel to. My ideal trip is to Paris. I love the energy.....yes the people...and the food. Can you really have a bad meal in Paris !! Not me.
How great it is to live in San Diego. The weather the things to do..just amazing. Plays and concerts are a great date night. I speak my mind and tell you the truth sometimes not always received well, hey you asked and being a New Englander I can't lie. I have learned over the years to deliver it in a gentle manner.
I love kids and hope and pray someday I will be a YaYa (grandmother in Greek) but my 3 boys think otherwise.
