Date men and women from United States / Arizona / Sanders, 59 year old

Date men and women from Arizona, United States. I am someone who is looking for a best friend to share my life with; someone who wants to share their life with me. I want to be able to talk, and laugh, and just be myself. I enjoy alone time, and have had my fair share of it, but I'm also looking for someone that enjoys taking walks, listening to music, watching movies and things like just sitting on the couch and watching a thunderstorm going through.
I am not looking for wealth or things...more importantly I am looking for genuineness in character. I am most comfortable being in jeans and barefoot. I hardly even wear shoes in the summer when I'm on break. I am looking for things like loyalty, honesty, love, and trust. I'll admit that I'm a hopeless romantic... holding hands, snuggling...just being close. Can I say that I like kissing? I do.
My family is very important to me, and are a big part of my life; my parents, my brothers and their families, and especially my sons and daughter-in-law. No grandbabies yet. They live far away from here, but are always close in heart. I love my "pet children" and I hope you will too.
I am very lucky to have made many friends since I moved here from Michigan 5 years ago. They are lasting friendships that will go beyond the workplace. I am truly blessed.
I am a young 58. I don't look my age, and a lot of the time I don't act my age either. I think that comes from being around middle school kids all of the time. I like who I am, and what I have accomplished. I'm proud of the person I've become.
