Date women from United States / California / Atwater, 46 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Hi all you gentlemen out there. My friends would describe me as honest, loyal, sincere, and down to earth. I would describe me caring, dependable person who takes pleasure in the more simple things in life. I enjoy being outside, reading, catching a good movie, and listening to music. I'm a pretty shy person so give me time to open up. Please handle with care. lol I'm actually half Mexican, but I grew up with my mother so I never learned to speak the language. I'm new to this site so I'm just trying to learn the ropes and go with the flow. My two oldest daughters live with me, but they are often out doing their own thing.
I am hoping to attract a man who is a true gentleman that wants to take things slowly and treat me with respect and kindness. I would like to be a friend first and then see where it leads. I would enjoy someone with the same interest. Feel free to send me an email if you would like to and we can see where that takes us.
