Date women from United States / California / El Centro, 63 year old

Date someone special from El Centro, United States. I am more shy than my friends suspect, and thus I've been single a long time. However, I would love to share my life with a balanced person and not just my three wonderful dogs. I am ready for the give-and-take of a meaningful relationship, and I'm hoping to find someone who is equally ready to compromise. I am passionate about gardening, my dogs, and entertaining/hanging with friends, and I wish that whoever "he" may be is equally drawn to his own passions.
I value a sense of humor more than any other attribute. Not only is laughing fun, it eases the stresses that life inevitably throws at us.
