Date women from United States / California / Arcata, 74 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. My ideal match would be someone who is kind and considerate, generous and thoughtful, easy-going and funny... Someone who is not chained to their job, their computer or cell phone would be a plus. Nothing wrong with being a go-getter, but there has to be a good balance, don't you think? Someone who is mature, responsible and intelligent. Someone who puts butterflies in my stomach. Someone who effortlessly makes me laugh. Someone who isn't afraid to make a decision if needed. It would be nice to find a relationship where each person's personality and attitude compliments the other. I also think building upon a friendship first is the way to go ..My perception of an ideal relationship: I think it is a relationship that is based on mutual giving..not mutual taking. A man and a woman helping each other to grow and become what they want to be. Being so intimate, that they become one person. A man and a woman freely giving each other their whole mind, body and soul and not still having any other emotional dependencies.I think a great relationship requires love, respect, and effort to make each other's life happier & more comfortable just being together. I think finding a way through hard times makes a relationship stronger… I find positives in everything and think love can work through diversity if friendship, respect and mutual love exists. I think love & Friendship between two people is the foundation of making a house into a home .
