Date men and women from United States / Alabama / Vestavia Hills, 42 year old

Date someone special from Vestavia Hills, United States. I am a positive person who loves to be surrounded by friends, enjoys my work in the nonprofit world, is passionate about raising incredible children, and wants a like-minded partner because I believe life is more fun and fulfilling with a companion. I have 2 wonderful boys whom I cherish and of course they are my top priority, but there is room in my life for more.
I'm bright, casual, sarcastic, grounded and a little silly. I believe the best partner is someone who makes you want to be a better person, and that's what I'm seeking... a fun, funny and intellectual guy who can be serious but doesn't take himself too seriously. I think I'd like to be married again someday, but for now I'm mostly looking for someone with whom to enjoy life's everyday adventures, local shows and restaurants, and occasional weekends away.
There are times when I enjoy getting dressed up and going out to parties or events, but I prefer more intimate dinners out at one of Birmingham's fantastic restaurants (fancy or dive-y), being with gatherings of good friends, or spending a cozy evening on the sofa with a good movie and a glass of wine. I also enjoy hearing live music, and have an affinity for bluegrass and Americana in particular. I love being outdoors - exploring a funky urban neighborhood, a hike in a nearby park, or an off-the-beaten path part of the natural world. I'm insatiably curious and love to go places and try things that expand my horizons and teach me just a little bit more of how the world works.
I'm attracted to kindness, good humor, and someone who is genuine, and I try to offer the same. I tend to lean liberal in my politics, and would love to find that needle-in-a-haystack progressive man here in this red state.
I should add that I usually access Match.com on my iPad, and that means that I can't respond to any IMs - sorrry!
