Date men and women from United States / Alabama / Lillian, 57 year old

Date a woman from United States. Summer is here and the time is right for dancing in the street,,,the music is playing,,,,,lets take day trips check out the local festivals. I enjoy farmers markets and flea markets; I like to laugh and have a good sense of humor. I like to entertain with friends, cooking out or dining out,,,,I like just hanging out on the weekends with friends, grilling or cooking a meal and just having a good time.
I work long hours, 12 hour days, but when I am off, I would like to have some fun,
My perfect mate is someone who is gone when work requires it, but when he comes home, we can be together. I am not like a lot of people, in this, I don't need to have my partner home at 5pm every day. I don't need routines, I need space, and enjoy the quality time when we can be together.. I am self sufficient, independent, ok on my own, But it would be really nice to have a partner, because you can't dance alone,.
I am looking for friend, and a partner, someone strong and protective of those he loves,,, kind, generous, respect others. Be confident of your own judgment, but not quick to judge others. A sense of humor is important, you can't take yourself too seriously.
I want to try new things, and go to new and different places, learn a new language, dance.
