Date women from United States / California / Gilroy, 41 year old

Date someone special from Gilroy, United States. There comes a time in your life where you're just tired of the games people play and the drama it all attracts... I'm at that point. :)
Happy in a relationship as I am out of one. I love where I am in life. Career, friends, family... Looking for someone who enhances what I already have. Someone who brings out the good in me and I the good in them. Hopefully, you will be honest and trustworthy, secure financially and emotionally. You love to have fun, but know when it's time to be serious. A good communicator, you'll stick around through the rough patches (if there are any) ;)I have found myself no longer contemplating issues that would have cost me days of peace from worry. I believe I have grown past some of life's simpler problems - and am able to help others with theirs - but only long enough to face even greater struggles today. I think one of the hardest things to realize is that you have made a compromise - a compromise of strong values and beliefs that you say you "would never do". Even the mere thought of compromise, in your values or beliefs is difficult. But, we are human and many of us have or will go through it.
I love to laugh, hopefully you do too. I'm sarcastic and talk a lot. I'm also sensitive and giving. Going out to dinner or a bar for a drink is fun. Staying home, cooking dinner and watching a movie works just as well. Baseball games, concerts, day trips or weekends away! I'm open to any kind of adventure.
Starting out as friends is a good thing in my opinion. It's a nice way to see what a person is all about.
(Please no game players, drama attractors, or guys looking for a one night stand) Anyone else, I would enjoy hearing from you.... :)
I believe, in part, we go through the things we do to help others in the future and for our own personal and spiritual growth and enrichment. We struggle with difficult decisions early on and either grow and learn from them or allow them to change us in some way - be it a positive or negative change. Even choosing to not choose, is actually choosing. You've made a decision to do nothing and that can either have a positive or negative effect on the outcome...time will tell. A fact of life remains: we will change - over time. Our looks, thoughts, dreams, even our understanding of life and those around us - will change. A good portion of how we change is really up to us. The decisions we make and the persons we choose to be a part of our lives WILL affect us to some degree. If we are not consciously aware of how our decisions are shaping our lives - we could lose precious days, months, even years trying to get back to a place of normalcy or comfort.
With the goals and dreams we have in mind - it is imperative that we are making quality decisions and choices today that will ultimately shape our tomorrow. I know, sounds so cliche', but it's the truth, nonetheless.
