Date women from United States / California / Goleta, 52 year old

Date someone special from Goleta, United States. I'm outgoing, happy, energetic, charming, loyal, and loveable! Just saying..
I want a partnership in every sense of the word. I'm not a player and don't want to be a part of someone's dating pool. More of a one person person. If you want a friend with benefits, move along. I do want to get to really know someone first, before taking the plunge, but once I'm in, I'm in and you'll know it. I want romance, you know, like holding hands, walking with arms around each other, sweet gestures for no reason and to be able to really share our thoughts, dreams and desires. I don't know how to do the Vulcan mind meld, so if your thinking something, speak up! Conversely, I'd like to be able to ask a question and get an honest answer - no games.
I don't like going to clubs often. I do enjoy small intimate settings or being with friends at home. I love to cook and do it well, you bring the wine!
I have a good sense of humor and enjoy that in a man as well.
I appreciate where and how I live. I would like to blend lifestyles, not change them. I'm into fitness, and accomplishing things. I'm training for a few triathalons (sprints due to ankle injury) and a half marathon in October, so no couch potatoes! I also own two horses, one retired, one young. I've been riding and competing since I was 4.. its just part of what I do for my sanity.
My son is off to Idaho for college this fall, so I'm going to be an empty nester and really looking forward in taking care of just me for a change! Time to get out and enjoy more of this beautiful area and would love to have a partner to share it with!
