Date men and women from United States / California / Valencia, 54 year old

Date someone special from Valencia, United States. How can I make this profile sound like I am attractive, intelligent, and educated. How about just honest.
I think of myself as a normal guy who is looking to find a best friend at first and see what the future holds for us.
I am an easy-going and down to earth guy. I am into romance and those intangible things that make someone feel special (flowers delivered to your work, a “Thinking of you” e-card, or just opening the door for you).
I would like to meet a lady who is down to earth, enjoys life and what it has to offer. A lady that enjoys sharing life's adventures like talking ,walking, laughing, cuddling, handling hands, wants to be cherished and treated with respect. I can go on and on.......
My usual form of entertainment and leisure runs the gamut from active participation - average golfer, walking (but not chewing bubble gum at the same time), hiking (Yosemite has great trails and beautiful waterfalls) to passive observation (attending local sporting events and concerts). In any relationship of mine I would hope to include her in everything from playing Frisbee on the beach, taking in a local attraction, or resting in front of a fire, reading the paper or watching videos on a rainy day.
I enjoy going out for dinner but also love to stay in and cook (yes, I can cook without opening cans or taking something out of the freeze). I will stop at Whole Foods to check out what fresh fish (or sometimes steaks) that they have available. I especially love to cook a meal for you (just as long as you will help with the dishes).
If you like what you have read, and I was able to make myself sound interesting to you then please send an email and we can talk more. Take care, thanks for reading my profile, and good luck in your search.
