Date women from United States / California / Carmichael, 56 year old

Date someone special from Carmichael, United States. I have found the best way to romance is to find a guy who is funny and kind, to be friends first and enjoy doing things together, if sparks are there, they will fly, we can write all sorts of things here but it does come down to chemistry, do you think so?
I like nice things and enjoy art, but am not consumed by a desire to continually amass possessions. Still in the work world, I hold a medium level job in terms of responsibility, I am financially stable, would like that in a man. I never work on weekends and I am not consumed by my career, I leave work at work when I walk out the door and really look forward to doing fun stuff on the weekends!
And yet a downtime weekend cuddling by the TV or fire can also be so special with that certain someone.
I make time to care for myself and my appearance, a part of my life is regularly working out, swimming, weight training, treadmill, would like to do more hiking . It is important to me to stay attractive, vital and healthy.
The music scene here in Sacramento is evolving and I like to listen to small jazz and blues groups in downtown clubs or Folsom. Of particular joy to me is to cook a meal for friends and open my home to them to share the meal, a glass of wine, a laugh. Do you like to do that? Collaborative meals creation can be romantic and inventive.
The drama thing: I am a good listener and know how to keep a confidence when one is shared. Living drama free is how I have designed my life and I want to be with a man where our lives uplift and enhance each other. I am a glass 1/2 full kind of person.
My life motto is to have fun, live comfortably, work and play reasonably, and give back to the community. My ideal guy is laid back with a sense of humor, also not consumed by career, and who likes to try new things, meet new people, as I said above maybe cook together as we entertain for a few friends, try a new bottle of wine, travel, long weekends to the beach are a favorite, and a man who likes a bit of joking around. Being spontaneous is the best part of being this age, my adult child is on her own, my career is stable, so when it comes to the weekends, let's go and enjoy.
Favorite places: San Francisco, Bodega Bay or any part of the Mendocino or, Sonoma County coastlines, Maui, San Luis Obispo, Los Osos, Carmel, Moonstone Beach in Cambria, Napa, skiing fresh powder in Tahoe, building a fire, driving an RV (really I can do that), hiking along the American River, wow we live in an amazing state.
Disclosure, I'm not a motorcycle enthusiast having lost someone dear to me in that type of accident. If it is important to you that I hop on your Harley, I'm not your gal.
Email me, I'd like to learn more about you.

Meet a soulmate from Carmichael, United States. Are you looking for friends or partner in life who is kind, considerate, has a healthy sense of humor, intelligent, energetic, confident, positive? Are you looking for someone who could eventually lead to a long term friendship, traveling partner, or relationship or who knows what in your life? I would be interested in someone that really enjoys traveling and has the time, energy, and means to do so. (This is tough to write without resorting to writing a dissertation, and I feel a little stilted with this description and intro) Would be great to meet someone that has similar or dissimilar interests, but most importantly, definitely shares the same core values of honesty, integrity, and loyalty as I have. This may sound a bit abstract, but hopefully, it's at least a start in this virtual meeting network. Enough to pique your interest, I trust. Maybe I'll hear from you. Enjoy!
