Date men and women from United States / California / Castaic, 42 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. I looking for a partner in life; someone to talk to; laugh with; grow learn with; to share good bad times with, but at the same time I need someone that is willing to go slow because trust is an issue for me. Like most of us past relationships have left a mark. I do not mean that my relationships have been bad, they haven't. In fact we are still friends.
I just haven't had much luck finally a good guy. One that is responsible; likes kids; has a place, job, car; someone funny, kind, sexy, caring, loving. I would like a guy that speaks his mind and listens too. When there is a problem or whatever doesnРІР‚в„ўt run away--discusses it. I want someone that was raised right...doesn't text while on a date, can actually call & talk on the phone, someone who is respectful & honest. oh, and money doesn't make you a good person!
I'm fun, loyal, caring, love to laugh and have a good time, but I can be serious too, I'm responsible, easy to get along with. I have a good sense of humor, 'm positive, enthusiastic and affectionate. I have a hard time staying mad & I'm open minded. I like to cook & bbq. IРІР‚в„ўm a "show me" kind of person, because actions speak louded than words and most people can talk a "good talk" but their words are shallow & meanless. Family is very important to me!
I have tried on-line dating before 2y ears ago & did not like it much. I find that most people are either to busy or too afraid to meet or to even talk on the phone and the ones that do are not really serious about dating, but are serious about hooking up. So, I heard ome good advice from someone who was sucessful...she said, "think of it as free entertainment", so I'm trying to do!
