Date women from United States / Arizona / Globe, 40 year old

Date someone special from Globe, United States. Hello. I have never done this before, but I am taking a chance.
I have been single/divorced for 15 years and stayed single by choice. I wanted to raise my children without the worry of dating and introducing my children to the wrong sort of person. Now that they are raised I am ready to try and get back out there. But the question is, how?
So in the last two years I have undergone some major changes. I have had gastric bypass and lost weight. Its still not perfect but I am happy with who I am and what I look like.
Currently I am still in California till about the first of August, my son is already over there, So Yes I am coming!
I am the sort enjoys day drives to anywhere and nowhere. On the back of a Bike is ideal but in a Truck, Car, Jeep is just as good. I enjoy going to see like the old towns, ghost towns, route 66 etc...
I can clean up and go out, though I am not a huge fancy place person. Ive never tasted wines so those places that serve it are normally out of my reach, though Im not above trying them. Wine country is not far away and Ive always wanted to do a wine tasting. I can sit back and enjoy a good movie at home, curled up just relaxing at home or go out for a night on the town.
There are many things I have wanted to see and try and just never had the chance. So if your looking for someone to be adventures and try new things, I am here.
Though I am not sure about jumping from a plane or anything..*laughs*
I will usually trying things twice, once to try them and a second time to make sure my first impression was correct. This goes for doing things, going places and even trying new foods.
I am looking for someone to settle down with, spend time with and enjoy life. I will say I dont have much experience in this area. Can explain that later to you as to why.
So take a chance and look beyond the words and what you see and get to know the person inside before you pass judgement.
