Date men and women from United States / California / Sonoma, 43 year old

Date men and women from Sonoma, United States. About me: I am very active, like to garden, love to cook, enjoy adventure and hearing about others adventure, self sufficient, love to laugh and making people laugh, enjoy learning something new, I like to play and don't take my self too seriously. I have been divorced for 13 years, I have 2 boys ages 18 and 22. Enjoy going out but can be just as happy at home having friends over (or not). I am social, but don't need a lot of people around me to thrive. I am honest (for the most part :), opened/straight forward and say what I need to say. I like to take care of the people around me...but sometime I like to be taken care of (..coffee in bed once in a while would be nice:) I show feelings as I have them, I am affectionate.
Perfect Match: A man that is confident, strong (mind, body and soul), athletic (most days), assertive, funny, honest, loves adventure (not just on vacations), likes good food (likes to cook or help cook is a plus), enjoys something from most experiences, speaks his mind, passive when something isn't worth bothering with, but can stand up for himself when it is, well groomed, nice smile (you should floss...I do;) and doesn't take himself to seriously. I tend to be attracted to men that are smart and witty.
I am interested in someone that is still active and could climb a tree if you needed to;)~
Really..I guess the bottom line is, I would like to find someone that enjoys life with me, that accepts me and knows that I accepts him (good and bad...because we all have both)...someone that I can't get close enough to when we are snuggling...someone I love lying nose to nose with...someone that doesn't keep his feelings a secret..someone that makes me feel like a better person with him than with out him.

Meet a woman from Sonoma, United States. So, life is short and I want to enjoy every waking moment! I strive to remain positive and look forward! I have earnestly tried the power of manifestation and I can say it indeed works for parking (ha ha)!
I am somewhat conservative in my financial and moral outlook, but much more open minded to social issues. Most people look at me and have a strong preconceived idea of who I am, by the way I carry myself. All I can tell you is, I have a lot of warmth, compassion (when needed) to give to that special someone and I am truly sincere.
Being exposed to the online dating scene for the last month makes me realize, I am a tad naive! I have had some pretty strange encounters with the opposite sex, but still believe you are out there! So if you want to take me on a date to return something, or if you have an extremely high pitched voice (no offense to our male sopranos) I am probably not your girl. Still trying really hard to keep my optimistic spirit up:)
I am looking for a real man, someone who is not afraid to open the car door, someone when he pulls me close, I know what he wants, he doesn't have to say it! A man that is not only intelligent, but strong and good with his hands. Someone, I can have an intellectual stimulating conversation with, that is also a giving and attentive lover. I am not one of those women looking at your income levels, although I do find men in suits very sexy, almost as sexy as a man after a hard days work, or just after a good workout, I am solely looking for happiness, chemistry and eventual long term monogamy, whatever form that takes.
