Date men and women from United States / California / Gardena, 47 year old

Date people from United States. I would describe myself as a very down-to-earth, easy-going, kind-hearted, and friendly person and am looking for those same characteristics/qualities in my kind of guy. I am sincerely hoping someday to find a nice guy who is honest, faithful, loving, caring, patient, and understanding and who will accept me for who I am and not judge me. I'm also looking for someone who is not afraid to be affectionate in public by holding hands and giving me hugs and kisses. :) I love walking along the beach hand in hand or just watching the sunset together. Also, someone who is unselfish and thinks of others before himself and has a really good heart. He should have a good sense of humor, since I love to laugh. :) I'm not sure if this man of my dreams even exists, but I am trying to find him and have been for awhile now with no luck. :( I'm not high maintenance at all. It's really all about the little things in life that are the most important to me like a sweet phone call or text message during the day, a flower or card, etc...to let me know that he is thinking about me. I am looking for is someone who I can share the good and bad times with and he will always be there for me when I need him, as well as me for him. I like to consider myself somewhat of a hopeless romantic and still want to believe that true love exists out there somewhere for me. I am really looking for someone who will love me "always and forever", "truly, madly, deeply", and with all of his heart. Communication and trust are very important in a relationship to make it work. Sorry, but I also have to mention this - I am not into deceptive guys who like to play games with people's heads, hearts, and feelings. If you are one of those guys or a serial dater/player, please stay away and do not contact me. I do not need to get my heart broken again. :( Also, most importantly, someone who will accept and respect my kids (I have two boys ages 21 and 15 1/2 from my previous marriage) as if they were their own and be a positive influence and role model for them. If you also have children, I would be the same way and not treat them any differently than my own. I am looking for my soulmate, happiness, and someone to share my life with. Honestly, I really don't like doing this online thing and would much rather meet people through friends, but my married friends just don't seem to have anyone to introduce me to. :( One last thing, hopefully you will be a Clippers fan and not a Lakers fan. :) Sorry that this is kinda too long to read, but I just wanted to let you know who the person I really am and the kind of person that I am looking for. Thanks for taking the time to read my profile. :)
FYI - My subscription to Match will be up pretty soon and I have already cancelled it. My last experience on here was pretty bad and the worst I have ever had. I just found out that someone I thought I knew really well and trusted lied to me. :( I feel sorry for the next girl that he meets on here, since he seemed so sincere, honest, and genuine (guys with qualities like these are really hard to find on Match) and he wasn't. Meeting someone on an online dating site is definitely not the right place for meeting that special someone at least for me - there's just too much game playing going on here and I am really tired of it.
