Date women from United States / California / Ventura, 48 year old

Date someone special from Ventura, United States. I’m a Californian original who’s fit, athletic, attractive and emotionally available. After a long term marriage and getting comfortable with myself and living alone, I’m now in search of my new best friend. I have a positive outlook on life and see the glass as half full, have an excellent sense of humor and an open heart. I’m a driven, career oriented professional who is financially secure. Looking to get to know someone who “gets me”, likes to laugh, doesn’t play games and is able to manage their baggage.
I'm a low maintenance, wash my face and go, outdoors lady who loves to hike, camp and be on the water. I'm open to new adventures and look forward to doing some traveling and seeing more of the world as time permits.
I'm hopeful that this process will be a path to make some new connections and find a man with whom I have good chemistry to share the next phase of my life with.
Take the first step and send an email if you'd like to know more about me.

Meet a woman from Ventura, United States. I enjoy fast cars and going to the races. I like to have fun or just hang out. I'm recently divorced from a 25 year marriage.

Date a soulmate from Ventura, United States. I like to travel outside the country. Never feel I'm on vacation unless I leave the states.
I don't like crowds (an instant peevish mood for me).
I speak French fairly well (which means I sound great to anyone who doesn't speak it, but not so great to those who do. Aye, I manage.)
I love my son (8 yrs old).
I grew up in West LA but haven't lived there since I was 20 (I go there often however).
I love dogs but don't own one.
I used to SCUBA dive regularly but it's been about 8 yrs.
I do yoga when I have the time - which is never often enough.
I teach AP Economics and AP Government.
I notice everything.
I'm up-front and have a sense of humor that tends towards pointing out ironies.
I'm inquisitive and curious.
I laugh a lot.
I learn by feeling
I appreciate a good speller.
I appreciate a man with manners (but male chauvinists please move on to someone else).
I just booked a flight to the South of France during the summer.
I don't like people who are judgmental - and can't stand it in myself - but I succumb to it as well - I'm a work in progress.
I respect diverse opinions - but I'm not crazy about extremists.
I'm a Democrat - but not a "die hard" Democrat. When I want to ruffle feathers, I tell people I like Obama because I think he's handsome.
I'm smarter than I let on; I don't play dumb, I just prefer humility. That being said, I also say what I have to say when I have it in me, but I don't fall on every sword.
I believe that life is complicated - which means it can be, at times, ugly and messy. But it is also what makes life rich and beautiful at other times.
I have trouble with people who see things in black and white terms - but I also struggle with embracing the gray.
I think many answers to big questions are not one option over others - they are usually "D. All of the above" - it's hard to wrap one's head around.
I've been wondering lately if this venue lends itself more easily to people with personality disorders. (I apologize for bringing this negativity into the picture - but needed to say it.)
I have a keen sense of intuition; I learn/know things by getting a feel for them.
Sorry if I'm writing this profile dealie in a stilted way - I haven't yet figured out the approach (to this type of "meet people" thing) that suits me best. I do have a warm, disarming nature - I suppose I feel a bit guarded and out of my element in this arena.

Meet someone special from United States. My friends would say that I have a great sense of humor, I am funny at times, and very shy but once I get comfortable I can be a blast, I look for the positive things in life instead of the negative. What makes me smile are the little things in life like picking a daisy from the grass and giving it to someone special. Accomplishments is raising 2 Strong Independent Women that are Beautiful inside and out and achieving their goals in life. I am grateful for a Father that would do anything for his family's survival. I am looking for a man that is not afraid to be that man and that loves unconditionally and has morals, goals, and values and can share the good and the bad time and believe that nothing is impossible. Funny things, Jokes make me laugh. I am looking for a special man for life....... I am not looking for the man that is in it for what he can get. The one thing that I am most passionate is that we need to live life to the fullest and appreciate everyday and to tell then how much they mean to you before it is too late. I think family values and morals are very important but most of all to see that a family of 4 Generations continue on the same path and there is always room to expand a family. A wise man once told me that a woman needs to let the man be a man and never over step him and that he will cherish the family he inherits and there is always room for more family!

Meet a soulmate from United States. My friends describe me as loyal, fun, adventurous, and willing to try almost anything. I enjoying LIVING life! I like to be doing something, anything!! Exploring new places whether they be around the world or a new restaurant around the corner! I have great friends and whatever we're doing, it's going to be memorable! In any relationship, laughing/talking/listening is the most important part and too often overlooked. If there is nothing between the ears, the rest is just a waste. I like learning about different places and the differences in people. I know all about me, I want to learn all about you! I don't like drama or chaos. A difference of opinion is fine and encouraged. It can spark a great debate and you have the right to be wrong :) Laughing is essential!! There is enough stuff to worry about but SO much more to enjoy!!! I can be very outgoing and independant yet I still like an old fashion kinda guy. You would be active, have a relatively healthy lifestyle and be willing to find ways to say "yes" to an adventure, enjoy your life and want to share it with someone. The ball is in your court!!!

Date someone special from California, United States. Hi! If you are reading this, you are probably looking for that special someone like I am. I am a working professional who does not frequent bars so do not meet a lot of potential suitors. also I have a philosophy not to date anyone you work with. Feel my pain? I am so grateful that I am healthy and happy, and that I have a good outlook on life. I am a totally independent woman; people say I am very exotic looking (due to the fact that I have long, black curly hair maybe!) with a great personality. I am looking for that special someone; one whom I can confide in, who will share some of (or all) of his secrets with and one who will treasure me. I will look forward to doing the same. Can that person be you? Chemisty is very important - and let's be truthful, so is the presentation. I will not waste your time nor will I play games! Let me know if you are interested.......
