Date women from United States / California / Dana Point, 46 year old

Date someone special from Dana Point, United States. About me...
I love people who are funny and who can see the humor in things.
My pix are recent:) The ones where I am bending down are because my 8-year-old took them! If I don't do that for her, all I get are "nostril shots!" I have my age at 46 for the searches as my lifestyle fits better with this age group, having a small child and still lots of energy, but I am actually 51
I have been on my own since I was 16 and although I am well educated, I have learned most of my truly useful talents through the experience of meeting daily challenges with positive creativity! As a result, I am hard working and I don't take anyone or anything for granted.
I am an intermediate with activities and try new things with enthusiasm.
I love my daughter. She is amazing. I am grateful for her every day. I am content by myself raising my little girl! But I'm happiest, most productive and even a better parent when I'm in a good relationship.
A few favorite quotes:
"I am not perfect but I am wonderful."
"Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it."
One day, someone will walk into your life and make you see why it never worked out with anyone else.
Who I'm Looking For…
I'm attracted to fit and healthy, like me. The right guy for me will live close to my area so we can really get to know each other in our chosen environments. He will proudly be displaying more than one recent picture. We will share a mutual attraction and a spark that will blossom into a great chemistry, if not right up front, over time as our friendship develops.
My ideal match will will have the heart, desire, patience and understanding needed to build the connections that will make me want him in every way. He will also either have kids, or have understanding and appreciation for them.
Other than that, I'm just looking for a guy who thinks I'm funny … and cute … even when I'm in sweats and my hair's all messy!
"Pick wisely, and treat kindly!" Be open to something great, and enjoy all the good that comes out of this adventure.
First Meet:
On a first meet: somewhere that allows for conversation and is a relaxed, no-pressure environment. Like for a drink or coffee, just to see if there is mutual attraction and interest. For a daytime meet, Jamba Juice, Starbucks or Yogurtland are great. For evening, Wind & Sea, Salt Creek Grill, or any place to grab a drink is great!
I am looking at all this as an adventure, and will endeavor to make it a positive one! Wishing everyone good luck in finding their "perfect match" for them!
If you have no pix, don't live close by or think a rude or sexual comment is your best foot forward, I will simply not respond. What you say tells volumes about who YOU are and is no reflection on me.
I was advised to put this warning on for those modern day thieves who might try to take advantage. Feel free to copy and paste this warning if you like:
