Date women from United States / California / Benicia, 62 year old

Date someone special from Benicia, United States. It’s simple…we’re both here to meet someone we’re attracted to and with whom we can make a meaningful relationship. This connection might take one of many forms….. a new friend or companion or lover…or perhaps a long term partner or soul mate. What’s important is knowing what fits us best, and staying open to the possibilities since this mysterious process often happens in ways that are quite different than we ever imagine. My preference is to start slow and see what develops. My hope is that what develops is a long term, committed relationship....but it's important not to get too far ahead of the process.
For that reason, I donРІР‚в„ўt have a long list of must-haves such as particular physical attributes or level of material wealth or interests we should share ( though some would be a plus). I am more interested in who you are and what you think than in just what you do. I am attracted to men who are self-aware; who are kind, compassionate, curious, and intelligent; who listen as well as they communicate; who have an easy, playful sense of humor; and have an appreciation of the inner and outer worlds. And I would describe myself in the same terms.
I have a even, grounded, playful, and compassionate spirit. I am more drawn to beauty, meaningful conversation, and ideas than to the material or the mainstream. My favorite holiday is Halloween (and I always dress for it), I assemble found objects for fun, sing in the car, enjoy dancing and music of all kinds (except reggae and rap, sorry!), like documentaries and Jackie Chan, science and science fiction, the arts and history. I have lived all over world, and have finally settled in beautiful Benicia…..though my work life is in Berkeley. Among my current goals are to simplify my life, age gracefully, and love my future partner, my family and friends well because they are the sweetest treasures of all. And, of course, there’s much more, but you’ll have to find out for yourself.
I’ve been told that I’m quite direct. It’s true that I try to express myself as clearly as I can and don’t play games …so I’ll take that as a compliment. Along the same line, I don’t generally respond to winks, but would prefer a more personal and direct contact. If you have found something of interest here, I’ll hope to meet you. Until then, stay open to the mystery and magic, and be well.

Meet a woman from Benicia, United States. I am centered, romantic and interesting. I love stimulating conversation. I am very comfortable in all social settings, and also very content just to relax at home. I'm poised & elegant, love to laugh and will always choose to be happy rather than right.
I have a career that I love. I am self-employed, so I am in control of my schedule, instead of the other way around. I love traveling. Mexico & Hawaii are two of my favorite vacation spots.
I'm blessed with 3 grown children, 3 amazing grandchildren. Family and close friends are a real treasure. I'd love to find someone who shares that sentiment.
I enjoy all outdoor activities, love all water sports, and love swimming in the ocean. I coached & played soccer for years, and love watching a great match.
Incidently, I love to dance! Next time you're out dancing, notice how hard it is to frown and dance at the same time.
