I am looking for someone to have fun, hang out, share a dinner or maybe a movie. I was married previously for quite a long time until we grew apart, no drama -just became different people with different goals and decided to split up. My goal would be to have a relationship for the next phase of life, start with dating and getting to know each other and build on that because great relationships don't happen overnight. I have two children, a 19 year old daughter and a 14 year old son, who I have 50% of the time.

Most of my friends are married so I’ve found it challenging to meet singles in my age range. My daughter is always on the internet and suggested I try to meet someone that way.

It feels strange to write a long history about myself. I have a good job and have always worked. My kids are great, really easy to be with and they have lots of friends of their own. When I was married I expected it to last a lifetime like most people. Kids and careers took their toll and our interests went in different directions - having some of the same interests is important to me at this stage of life. But I also like to do things with my own friends and hope you have hobbies and friends of your own as well.

I need to have an attraction for the person I meet, but physical attraction is not my number #1. I find attraction builds over time as you get to know and enjoy someone. I like to be spontaneous and active and am looking for the same in someone I date.

I like to plan at least one weekend a month for a road-trip or some other adventure. This winter those trips will probably be to Lake Tahoe (north shore side) so my son can snowboard. I ski, but some days I also prefer to let him go and I hang by the fire with a good glass of red wine and hopefully a good book.

Instead of writing a long bio, I'd prefer to meet you one to one. My profile is light on photos because all of the ones I have include my kids or were group shots with friends.

My job Monday through Friday is close to downtown San Anselmo and the weekend is my “down time” in hometown Sebastopol. My life has always been active and I’ve spent years involved in my children’s sports and school activities. Now those days are behind us although a good high school football game is still on the agenda occasionally.

I have a good job and have always worked. My old career used to be high stress and I spent a short time working in downtown San Francisco last year. (Not my style)

making people feel comfortable. I don't know, but people feel like sharing their life story with me. People say I'm a good listener and don't make judgements about others.

my eyes.

Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, Hunger Games, The Help...I haven't read a new book recently. I like to read on vacation.

I like current movies and the last good one I saw was Argo.

Music- All kinds
Food- Sushi is my favorite, but all seafood is great too.

my kids, good friends, sunshine, love a good cup of coffee in the morning, a BBQ and hmmm...

my next vacation.

Either at home with my kids, renting a movie to watch with a fire (inside during winter or out of the patio in summer) and a glass of wine or beer.
Or out with a friend having dinner and a drink then stirring up some trouble....

this is a tough question...I don't think I want to admit anything private in this forum. Honestly, I wonder sometimes where these questions come from....

anything in my profile struck a cord with you...
