Date women from United States / California / Gilroy, 48 year old

Date someone special from Gilroy, United States. I prefer to be outdoors doing the things I love; biking, boating, hiking, running, skiing and don't forget lounging by the pool! I'm athletic and do have a competitive side on occasion. I was introduced to wakeboarding a few summers ago and I'm hooked! My beautiful daughter is the most important person in my life and needless to say, will always be my priority. I'm very close to my family and I cherish my friends (my 3 best friends I've known since junior high). I'm casual, most comfortable in jeans but enjoy going out somewhere special too. I'm at ease at a backyard barbecue or a corporate function and can hold a conversation with just about anyone.
I am looking for someone to enjoy life and all it has to offer. I'd like to meet a man who also cares about staying healthy and fit but also understands its all about balance.... A guy with a great sense of humor who can laugh with me is huge for me. And sarcasm is good, as long as its tempered with humor. He'll need to be confident, honest, affectionate and sweet. Someone who is genuine...whose words and actions match. And when we talk on the phone, I want to hear a smile in his voice. Oh, and he can't be worried about getting dirty and working with his hands (I find that very sexy). And I'm a sucker for that kind-hearted man.....
I love to cook but he'll need to barbecue for me since I burn EVERYTHING I put on the grill! I'm thoroughly convinced barbecuing is a guy-thing. I enjoy hearing about your day or just laying on the couch together -- don't always need to be talking. Yes, compatibility is a good foundation but there's no substitution for chemistry.
Does this sound like you?
PS; If you wink, thanks but I don't respond to them. C'mon now, you're a big boy, I'm sure you can think of something to say...
