Date women from United States / California / Encino, 47 year old

Date someone special from Encino, United States. I'm a happy down to earth girl who's looking for someone to laugh with and enjoy life's adventures with. I've been lucky to live in amazing places like the beautiful Sierra's in Mammoth, on the shores in Malibu, gorgeous San Francisco, and rainy Portland, OR. Never thought I'd be back in L.A after living in such gorgeous places, but my family is here and it's all turned out well.
I'm very easy going, love to laugh (mostly at myself), intelligent yet goofy and and all around cool girl. I'm extremely loyal and when I say that I'm going to do something I do it. I'm very adventurous and will pretty much give anything a try, well maybe not swimming with sharks. I'm really into music and like most genres, going to the movies, love to travel, need to learn something new everyday, and I'm always up for a good debate. I have the best family, great friends and the cutest nieces and nephews who I just adore. I have the greatest dog in the world (yes I really do) and I volunteer with a dog rescue group that rescues chihuahuas from the shelters. My profile pic are with three of chihuahuas that I had fostered in the past that all got adopted.
There is a lot more to me then this small description, but I'm not one to toot my own horn and write a long profile. I'm more interested in talking one on one and getting to learn about my you in person and vice versa.
Drop me a note and let'ls see if there is connection :)

Meet a woman from Encino, United States. Must be Animal loving, please. I love my dog and believe that people who are 'accepting and loving towards ...innocent creatures like pets are nicer and easier to get along.
I am attracted to men that know who they are, what they want, and have strong belief system and openness of mind and heart to understand and appreciate others different then themselves.
I love to travel and hope to secure a home in Europe in years to come. Would love to be able to spend and share my life with someone that has open mind and heart.

Date a soulmate from Encino, United States. A two-way connection that is meaningful and fun with good communication and like goals is always attractive to this one. When that can develop into a passionate best friendship romance, wow, that's a find for both people involved. Best of luck here to all of us on that! That said, I've never been the clingy sort, or one who "needed" to be in a "relationship." I enjoy the good company of others (especially if it's you) but also enjoy my own company, too.
If we go out, I'm there for the shared experience I can only have by being in your company - whether it's a fine restaurant or In N' Out Burger (Animal Style!). Or a walk on the beach (lake, puddle of water, etc - I'm a water baby, love it) or to see an L.A. sight that perhaps one or both of us have not experienced before, like the Getty Villa or Griffith Observatory. Experiences are simply more meaningful and fun when shared with someone special, yes?
I'm told I'm very feminine, intelligent, articulate, funny, sensual and a rare mix of casual yet elegant - just as comfortable in heels and dress as I am in jeans and a t-shirt. I'm usually pegged at about mid-30s thanks to genetic good fortune in inheriting mom's good skin and using sunblock :)
I value loyalty in both friend and lover and return it fully.
Random FAQs: I'm a retired Army brat, so the hardest question anyone ever asks me is "Where are you from?" I moved to L.A. the day the L.A. Riots broke out (yeah, that's my kind of timing) and now call L.A. home. I'm a Titanic-ologist, a Bronte-ologist and a Van Gogh-ologist.
If you're you, I look forward to finally meeting you.
UPDATE: Well, more additional information, than an update. Please, if you enjoy recreational drugs of any kind, pass by my profile and on to the next lady. No judgement and not looking to change anyone, but due to my own reasons I've never done drugs and I'm just not comfortable in a connection with someone who uses drugs, not even occasionally, not even the "harmless" ones. Not even because "But, all the other kids are doing it." (Thanks for your understanding and integrity in this matter... Here endeth the "Just Say No" Nancy Reagan-esque public service announcement. :-)
MORE UPDATE: I will be very suspicious that you are a Gemini or something if you put "Do Not DIsplay My Sign" on the birthday question... What's up with that? :))
