Date men and women from United States / California / Pomona, 48 year old

Date people from California, United States. I'm just a simple guy with simple pleasures. I know that there is no such thing as perfection so I won't even try to project it on anybody, just looking to start out slow and see where things go. I like to work out 3-5 times a week and get in a few chapters of a good book everyday. I do not like to stay mentally idle so I am always learning something new about the world everyday. As Plato once said " The unexamined life isn't worth living", I of course wouldn't take it to that extreme and hoped nobody else would but just wanted to say learning is a priority in my life.I would hope that the person I meet have a sense of humor and is honest. I hope that they like to exercise and resist the urge to become a couch potato except only at the appropriate times such as rainy days, tired nights, etc.

Date people from California, United States. To sum me up: romantic, silly, caring, giving, tender, diligent, loyal, faithful, effervescent, exuberant, loquacious, optimistic, intelligent, strong, independent and passionate.
Some places I love: 1) my garden patio esp in spring, watching hummingbirds and being seranaded by windchimes, usu joined by our little dog and our cats, all rescued by my oldest son. 2) mountain or desert camping where beauty surrounds us and time seems to slow down. 3) bookstores because I love books, their smell and feel. Good books are like great movies; the more emotions they wring out of me, the better. 4) simply being with my family and/or friends whether simply hanging out or celebrating a holiday.
Places I want to visit: Grand Canyon, Yosemite and Hawaii (my sons and I really want to see Pearl Harbor and try snorkeling, and maybe zip lining.
I love movies that make me laugh or cry. IРІР‚в„ўm told my laughter is contagious-it can certainly be heard to my kidsРІР‚в„ў chagrin. But hey crying is cathartic! Besides my kids find it hilarious that I cry at movies. I grew up watching old classics (eg, Stella Dallas-now thereРІР‚в„ўs a tear-jerker), I Love Lucy and John Wayne and still love РІР‚?em. For TV, Grimm, Supernatural, Touch, True Blood, Ellen, Family Guy, So You Can Think You Can Dance, Ghost Whisperer re-runs.
My passion? Besides my children, the written word! I’ve been scribbling stories for years achieving a small modicum of success w/magazines and a few published personal essays and children’s stories, but the novel alludes me. It’s like the classic horror movie scene–someone is running desparately down a long hallway and the faster they run the longer the hallway gets. I’m gonna keep running (or writing) and see if I can reach the end! My day job, the one that pays the bills, interferes a bit! Having a passion I think makes us soulfully richer.
I have two sons, 13 and 19. IРІР‚в„ўve been a single mom for a decade and motherhood is my most important job. My youngest just wrapped spring select soccer but football starts soon. IРІР‚в„ўve been a cubscout leader, baseball scorekeeper, booster and soccer mom. So if thatРІР‚в„ўs a problem, IРІР‚в„ўm not the girl for you. IРІР‚в„ўm very close with my parents (proudly married over 50 years); they live in Vegas and yes our blood has a bit of the gambler running thru it, along with those of outlaws of the old west and American Indian. My mom is amazing, strong yet old-fashioned. My dad is a cowboy to his marrow. And yes I had a pony growing up (and goat, pig, chickens) and had to clean up after them. But my dad always said chores make kids stronger so I make mine do 'em too. And I'm privileged to have a few very close girlfriends whom I've known since elementary and middle school.
If youРІР‚в„ўre still reading, at this stage in my life IРІР‚в„ўm looking for romance--and hopefully some laughter and good conversation while IРІР‚в„ўm searching for it. I like men with kind faces and great smiles. I believe who we are shows on our face and that the eyes are the windows of the soul. I love a man with a sense of humor and one who can be silly sometimes. IРІР‚в„ўd love it if you had kids too, young or grown. And since nature and animals are very imp to me (think ASPCA) the man in my live should too. I want someone with whom I can cuddle, who will hug me when I cry over the sad movie or laugh with me til our stomachРІР‚в„ўs hurt over a funny one (think Adam Sandler), camp out for a weekend, maybe help me with the gardening, get together with friends over a great meal or simply sleep in late on a Sunday then share some coffee and talk about whatРІР‚в„ўs going on in the world.
IРІР‚в„ўm 48 and young in mind and heart. IРІР‚в„ўve started exercising to get in better shape, feel better and live longer esp since my kids say they want me around a bit longer. And IРІР‚в„ўm imperfect (and so is my clean but cluttered and lived-in house) so if youРІР‚в„ўre perfect or expect perfection, we're not a match.
