Date men and women from United States / California / Larkspur, 47 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. Is this the part where I make you fall in love with me in 10 words or less? lol
About me: I am kind, thoughtful, and considerate. I go to the head of the class in those qualities. I like to see life as an adventure where we can 'do good' along the way--it doesn't have to always be about 'winning.' I like nice things (although do not get carried away about it), like to dress up occasionally, but I think I am low-maintenance.
Who am I looking for? Someone who thinks for themselves, who likes to laugh, who is more a leader than a follower, and who doesn't mind seeing themselves as a mature person. I hope you like to get outdoors... there are so many beautiful redwood groves and vistas to see around where I live.
~ I look forward to meeting someone where we love, support each other, enjoy the world and enjoy getting old together.
Let's meet for a libation.

P.S. Re: smoking--apparently match. com filters in a big way over smoking. I have between zero and one over coffee on my deck in the morning--just enough to annoy both the non-smokers and the smokers. !
Will stop for love.

Meet people from California, United States. Time to update the profile. I have been a match for a while now, and have learned a lot more about myself, and who it is I am looking for. I have been very fortunate in having met some really great people here, but not yet the one special lady I know is out there for me.
She is kind and compassionate above all. She knows herself and is past the "wild stage" of dating dozens of guys, clubs, and living only for the next thrill. Although she always loves to have fun in life, and does so every day. She is positive nature and rebounds quickly with life's little upsets. She is bright and intelligent, and loves a solid deep meaningful conversation. She believes great communication is the key to great relationships. She LOVES to cuddle, loves touching, being touched and kissed often. She takes care of herself, but doesn't necessarily have to run marathons or climbs Mount Everest every weekend. And, she is beautiful both inside and out. Is that you?
I am a loving man, that really knows how to love and care of the lady in his life. I am not looking for a meaningless relationship, but one that has the possibility to develop into a long term relationship.. I am a successful, well adjusted man in my 40's who has raised his kids, established a wonderful and exciting business, found peace and balance in my spiritual life. I live my life with kindness, compassion, yet I am confident and strong.
I love to travel, love live music festivals, hiking, hang with friends, discover new little restuarants, bistros or pubs, motorcycle rides, the mountains, cooking, holding hands, watching movies on the couch, meditating, deep conversations, being there for friends and loved ones...I guess best said, I just love life.
I currently live in Larkspur, which is about 30 minutes to Denver, or 30 to the Springs. I live amongst the trees and nature, but I work in Denver, and the suburbs. Although, I love it out here, my house is for sale and I plan on settling in Denver or the burbs again. (unless, I meet the woman of my dreams from Co Springs, and maybe stay right here). Please don't let a 30 minute drive deter what may otherwise be a wonderful relationship. I would love to hear from you.
