Portland Singles - European Dating in United States

I am a very strong-minded and independent lady who also has a soft side. I want someone i can have a great conversation with and also enjoy a great silence with out feeling the need for words. I think friendship is an absolute must for a successful relationship and that incredible closeness that is with you even when spending time apart. I want someone who can romance me and simply cuddle with me at other times. I am out-spoken, opinionated(at times), challenging ... But hey on the plus side I am also passionate, loyal, loving, intelligent, and have never been accused of being boring. I believe in expressing my feelings and enjoying life to the fullest. I admit I probably would do my best with a man with patience as i can be a handful at times.. But do not mistake this for a tendency towards drama not my style. I'm just seeking someone who believes in unity, co-operation, truth, love, dedication, partnership, trust (not in me but in God).

Looking for someone i can take time to get to know better and see if we have something in common..

I'm hoping to find a partner to share life's challenges and adventures and I'm hoping to find someone who is serious with his intention in building long term relationship that will lead to marriage but it starts with hello and then chemistry takes its course. I am considered to be humorous, intelligent, supportive, empathetic, considerate, and loyal. I enjoy travel both domestic and international, photography, music of all genres, sports, and enjoy going out but also enjoy staying home for a slower pace. I can cook, breakfast lunch or dinner....can make a great cup of coffee.I just joined the site so it is a work in progress but I think I have answered most of the important questions but I am sure I have left something out. I also do not look at distance as an obstacle to meeting or getting acquainted, hopefully you don't either...I guess you can see what I have on my profile a bit intriguing and maybe a bit of curiosity has been planted and I will hear from you? Thanks for taking the time to read my profile and hopefully I will hear from you!

I'm pretty conservative in a lot of ways, and I want a conservative woman with traditional family values. Family is important. I have a son, but I would like more kids. I am not the type to go out and party. I'd rather have a family, or family and friends game night/get together. I believe I having goals, coming up with a plan to make those goals happen, and then working to achieve those goals. I am an INTP for those who know what that is. Even though I am an "I", I am very hands on and affectionate, but sometimes I need space for me. Beyond that, if you're curious, just ask.

I believe we were put on this earth to thrive and I live each and every day as if it were my last,I had a 92 year old friend who always reminded me that just because something is over doesn't mean it was not great!

I am very kind and easy going person. I am open to everything new. Most of the time I have open and positive mood, I think that we are here to be happy and to make close people happy

I'm a confident,responsible, honest,sociable,caring and loving man.Love traveling and trying out new things.Single and lives alone,just eager to meet that someone special to love and share affections with.Will like to meet a kind cheerful lady who wants to be loved and can give love and to respect each other and always trust each other.

i am a beautiful caring understanding honest humble and romantic lady.
i like swimming reading novels and hanging out with friends.
my idea of a romantic date is a dinner for two.

Average cute, working to lose weight to make myself happy. I am a single mother to an active little man. I love being a mom. I am on the thicker side but am using the new year to make a better and healthier me.

I did just have a child 9 weeks ago so im still trying to get back into shape, but im only 4 pounds heavier than I was before I got pregnant.

I love music—especially if it carries a beautiful message or tone. But also appreciate quiet, or time I can enjoy birds or trees. I enjoy nature, yet also enjoy the hurried pace of big cities, or calm of smaller cities.

I love travel, and feel it’s the best way to experience the varieties and differences that our lives have to offer. I enjoy traveling often.

I appreciate every day, and my view of a good day is one in which I'm able to learn or grow in some way, or help another do the same. I respect and appreciate dealing with less than enjoyable times, but must be in a relationship with one who is mature enough to realize the importance of expressing ourselves in a loving, open, respectful and honest fashion.

I believe in the saying "our body is our temple.” My taste in food is varied, and I will try most anything if it seems it will be good for me. I'm not a drinker per se, however I enjoy a glass of red wine or two, or a beer with a good meal, and feel it is a gift in the health benefits such moderation can offer, but cannot consider a woman who drinks beyond her means.

I’m a Taurus, born in the Ox year. I enjoy what life has to offer and love my life. I know I will share a deep, soulful and meaningful life with one who embraces the beauty life has to offer. I appreciate a beautiful woman, and can be quite sexual—but am interested in only one woman.

I am divorced and am open to telling you about it if you wish. Sometimes it helps to understand another. It was a nice relationship, however after nearly 12 years, we simply lost touch with each other. I will never look at this time as wasted, because I learned so many valuable things from the experiences, and I am comforted in understanding that she is happy in her new life as well. I have no children, but could be very happy in such a family role.

I love having all my senses filled. I love good humor and enjoy learning about life, and delving into awesome subjects, yet I can be quite driven, so am not simply airy-fairy, and am not a pushover. My ideal relationship is one in which we can both feel we are learning and growing, and appreciate any difficulties as opportunities for such. I trust fate and believe our energy directs our fate.

A woman who is communicative in every sense of the word, but discreet and diplomatic will catch my attention. Ideally she will be quite optimistic and willing to express her feelings, whatever they may be. She will view any setback as simply an opportunity. She will not buy into dogma or extreme positions, but should be passionate and loving, yet emotionally balanced. A good conversationalist is attractive. She could make love to me with her mind, and should have some sense of the energies surrounding her. That is a beautiful woman!
