Date women from United States / California / Ramona, 76 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. My closest friends would describe me as friendly to most everyone and enjoy talking to people that genuine and down-to-earth. People who act like they are "better" than anyone else turn me off right away.I love to help people whom I know need help in small ways.
Looking for a relationship for friendship and will enjoy doing similar things which I enjoy. Been by myself for a long time and know I am pretty independent. Would have to have an aquaintance who would not try to control me. Athough I would like to discuss and compromise.
I have 3 sons, 2 living and 1 deceased. One lives about 5 miles from me and is an attorney and the other lives 8 hrs north of me and is retired. Have 5 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren and all of them live out-of-state. Miss them.
My health is pretty good. Walk my dog every day for 1/2 hr. or so for exercise. Enjoy the beautiful Ramona weather.
I have lived in Ramona 2 yrs. and haven't met anyone where I live to have a social life. Not knowing anyone in a community is not easy for me.
