About Me

I've relocated back to my homestate after grad school and a 12 year hiatus and would like to meet some new people in the area.. lots can change in a dozen years, right? . Perhaps you want to show me around your favorite places or take me with you on an adventure.. I'm always game for exploring or having an intellectual conversation, or just having a few drinks and a bunch of laughs. I don't have time or interest in hitting the bar scene on a regular basis, but I do enjoy the opportunity to get out and scope out new venues for good food, drink and entertainment.I'm a strong independent woman who tends to scare guys who aren't self-confident off, but I'm really a passionate and sensitive person who wants meaningful relationships just like everyone else. I'm totally down to earth, confident in myself and enjoy art and music as a way of life. I am creative, educated, inspired by nature and know how to have a good time. I would love to find someone who I could share adventures and experiences with, both good and bad. Life is indeed too short to go it alone. However, I would rather do my own thing than put up with someone else's bullshit. Friends and family are very important to me; I am happy to say that there is no drama to report here!. I really enjoy cooking gourmet meals and I would love to have someone to share them with. It's hard to picture where exactly I'll be in the next five or ten years, but I do know that a strong community around me is really important.If I haven't scared you off yet..please read on: It would be nice to find someone to share adventures and quality moments with... creative, funny and outdoorsy guys get bonus points. I don't intend to design what the perfect guy should be; that's not my goal. I like a self-confident, intelligent man who knows who he is and doesn't need me to 'make him happy' but someone who enjoys me for who I am and also loves to do his own thing. Show me a great hiking spot or share your passions and I'll share mine. I am very attracted to hard working men who are not afraid to get dirty but can clean up nicely when necessary! Spending lots of time in my studio makes me happy! I'm a bit of a romantic too. Sunset strolls on the beach, candlelight dinners, picnics and adventurous getaways, or a night of snuggling with a good movie are my idea of a fun time. I don't watch TV, and don't care to; Netflix is a decent compromise.. soaking in hotsprings under the moonlight.. discovering beauty in silence and laughing until it hurts.I enjoy a wide variety of music and enjoy going to see shows or just checking out what people have on their ipod or in their album collection.. I love a good and funky bassline and clever lyrics. Lately I've been listening to lots of bluegrass. Always open to listening to new music. I am always happy to meet positive an intelligent folks no matter where I live. I'm really looking forward to establishing gardens again and getting back to my roots. Positivity can get a person everywhere in life. And a strong sense of humor somehow helps us get through all the crazy sh*t that is going on in this world. I'm pretty liberal.. so please don't try to start a political argument with me. Drop me a line if you think we have similar interests. Robo-muscle men, conservatives and those looking for a one-night stand need not respond. Depends on mutual interests... Maybe meeting up for tea or coffee or other fine beverages and we can discuss whatever comes up.. see where it goes from there... something fun and an opportunity to talk and laugh is ideal.

    Woman. 53 years old. Zodiac sign: Aquarius.

    Looking for: man. In age: 50-60

    People only need 3 bones to live happily...a funny bone, a wish bone and a back bone.Time and energy spent with my family and friends trumps the pursuit of material things. I have a strong work ethic and am financially responsible. When off the clock I remain energetic and playful, but can also relax, reflect and be still. I live a full and happy life, yet still have room for a special man who can love with all of his heart. Nurturing close friendships, both old and new will always be important to me. Sharing a variety of outdoor activities with fellow nature lovers is at the top of my fun list. Getting together for picnics and walks along the beach or attending outdoor concerts and dancing the night away are some of my favorite social activities. I joined a vintage bicycling club as a fun way to get outside and see the beautiful Bay Area through different eyes. I like to take classes and learn new things like yoga, swing dancing, ceramics, flower arranging, hula dancing and Italian cooking. It may sound silly, but I recently took up the ukulele and have a great time strumming away while trying to sing along. I am big on going to the library and reading. Cook books, historical fiction, autobiographies and Rick Steves are often in the stack at the check out counter. My latest summer adventure was touring Europe with a fantastic group of interesting people. Now I am stricken with Wanderlust...Where to go next??? So many choices! A first meeting at a pub, coffee shop or frozen yogurt place. Then perhaps a second meeting for a walk & talk at a pretty outdoorsy place.

    Woman. 51 years old. Zodiac sign: Virgo.

    Looking for: man. In age: 48-58

    I'm both a hard worker and fun.( I hope) Things that really make me happy being alive are...the first snowfall of the season, the smell of rain, gardening and smelling and feeling the earth and taking my dogs for walk and feeling their excitement. When the weather is nice I love being outdoors. I enjoy antiquing and looking at old historic houses and towns. I'm a low maintenance person. I'm most comfortable in jeans, but can dress up if the occasion calls for it.I enjoy many types of music, but not rap.I love to laugh and just have fun and be silly. A sense of humor is a must like my headline says. My kids say I'm quirky. I think that's good?Sports is not a big part of my life. Politically, I definitely lean toward the left. I feel that two people must be friends first before anything else happens. Good conversation, communication,honesty and respect are so important.I'm hoping to meet someone to hang out with. We can see what happens from there. Something simple like meeting for coffee or dinner. Somewhere where we can talk and get to know each other.

Possible drinks. Anything fun, Concerts, I am up for suggestions.
