I'm ready to try this again! Like many of you my mood changes as to whether I want to use this venue for dating? I prefer to meet a man in a natural social setting, but let's face it, most of us don't run into "new" potential partners/love matches as we hang out with the same group of friends over and over. I undoubtedly will edit this profile soon as I just erased all the old stuff. As a young girl I learned that I got a lot of attention from the boys if I could compete athletically with them. I guess that somehow carried on into adulthood. Don't get me wrong, I'm not out to "beat" a man at his own game, I just want to be able to hold my own and have him happy to play with me. Growing up on a dead end street with only boys to play with I threw dirt clods, played with dump trucks in the mud by the water faucet outside the house, played baseball and football in our yards and pastures, rode horses and rode bikes all day until mom called us in...As I have gotten older, I have learned to place a huge value on my "girlfriend" relationships.I LOVE to dance and I have great rhythm, I used to country dance in the 90's about two to three times per week, but now just on occasion. I can east coast swing, do a basic salsa and very basic west coast. I also spent many years of my life playing volleyball and recreational softball.I enjoy mostly country, pop and alternative music and have an appreciation for many other types. Cooking in the kitchen together is a turn on... that touch or special look in the eye that only the two of you are aware of as you pass each other in a room is super special. Of course I enjoy all the normal things that couples do, like wine tasting and travel. I was an exchange student out of HS and love learning about other cultures and our own history.Have you ever had someone in your past that was so special that your eyes still light up today when you remember them? You were like two ships passing in the night and you're glad you did, even though your pathways took you in different directions? Sitting/laying quietly together on a beach while one or both of you are reading a book. Him showing me how to surf... Kissing while sitting on a hammock in the yard, sipping wine and sharing the taste of that wine between your interlocked lips. Taking a spontaneous train trip to ??? Taking care of details, like going to the passport office, just so we could be together... Eating at a place that becomes a favorite for the two of you because of the smiling faces of the servers and the experiences the two of you shared there... might be a beach eatery, hole in the wall, or a fancy smanshy place. Of course, admiring him for his special talents that you don't possess yourself. The only thing that mattered was spending time together.......It was suggested to me once to read the book "The Five Languages of Love" which I did... You can even take a computerized test before reading the book (before you have enough knowledge to slant the results of the quiz) that helps you discover what love language you personally speak and what your unique needs are. My results were extremely accurate. What matters most to me is.... 1) Quality Time (as evidenced by the above paragraph of what I like***and 3) Physical Touch and Words of Affirmation tied. 4) Acts of Service 5) Receiving gifts P.S. I think "smart" is very sexy and if that smart is packaged together with an athletic man, then I'm all in! Meet in public at a restaurant or lounge... Second date??? The possibilities are limitless!

I love music and laughing and kindness. I like being around expressive, caring, and fun loving people. Throw in some interesting food and maybe a glass of wine, and I'm feeling pretty open and happy.I like the idea that we are all historians, and that our stories are nuanced with lore, myth, truth and drama. I want to hear your story. I'll like it if you want to hear mine.I'm independent, and support myself; I live within my means; at 35 I divorced, and with three school aged kids at home, put myself through college and earned a bachelor's then a master's degree. I still use my fingers to count.I want to be a wife again some day. Music: (My one true salvation.) I'm currently on a Mark Knopfler jag. (It's lasted about 14 years.;Belief." I want to crawl up inside it and stay awhile. It's everything I want in a song.; I'm recently into roasting vegetables of all kinds; but sometimes I just need a bit of rare steak and a glass of wine; I'm told I'm evil when I get too hungry. I love everything there is to love about fresh limes. I have an expensive watermelon habit, and I eat a lot of Tzatziki these days. I make a chocolate cake that, once people have eaten it, they wake up screaming for in the night. I use it to get my way sometimes. Hobbies: I love to take pictures of people, mostly people that I love. I also love to make videos for my family and friends. I've gotten my hands on old home movies and videos and made some neato photo/video tributes. Makes me happy. I also like to walk with music blaring in my earphones. Thrift store shopping is fun; my little sister is the queen of the thrift shop find; we've had the best time tearing about L.A. from one Goodwill to another, and have found really great stuff. I also love decorating my house, feathering the nest; comfort and beauty in my world matter.My children and grandchild are the lights of my life. My granddaughter is five years old; she is bright, funny, wise and beautiful. I completely love being her Yia yia.I love good communication, and value quality over quantity. Talking that's mindful, interested, and involves exploring ideas really does it for me. Talking isn't the end all and be all of good communication---silence is important, too. I'm most drawn to people who understand their history and want to tell their story. I most enjoy the company of people who aren't afraid to lean into the full range of their emotional experiences, and know how to own who they are. A shared sense of community creates endless possibilities for doing things for and with each other. I have the best time with people who share an interest in what's happening around the community and the world, and get involved.I'm sensitive to unbalanced power in relationships. "Shoulder to shoulder" resonates immediately. When equality is present, then the good stuff of friendship, attraction, intimacy and connection is there, too. Without it, all that pesky "drama" and "game playing" goes on, and even you "easy going, laid back"True story: I'm considering photoshop deception to contrive some dazzling photos of me water skiing, zip-lining, biking, hiking, and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro... A word to the wise: not all chicks like "chick flix." Also, I'll ask you to kindly send me a message with a few lines if you are interested. I don't really check the "interested" or "so and so wants to meet you," list. Eating together is always a good start. Live music maybe? Something outside. I like to see how people interact with the world around them. A festival or other community event could be a great way to get to know each other, and share some laughs. I'm noticing that some people want a less date-like meet up to see if there's chemistry. I'm totally okay with that, too. We like what we like, right?
