Date men from United States / California / Grass Valley, 44 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Life is a Journey... Enjoy the Ride!
I'm creative, funny, passionate, enjoy an active life. I'm goal oriented, both professionally and personally.
I'm open minded, witty, direct, honest and a good listener. I try to live my life without regrets. I believe honest communication is an important part of being in any relationship.
MY DEFINITION OF LOVE IS SIMPLE:
"Give from the heart without asking for anything in return."
I'm not afraid to wear my heart on my sleeve... and I appreciate simple acts of affection.
I'm looking for a friend... a best friend. Someone who wants to explore life... on all fronts.
Someone who doesn't focus their life around material conquests. Don't get me wrong, I love and appreciate nice things... but when we leave this earth, it all goes back in the box. Looking for someone who truly wants to take the time to get know one another. Someone of intergrity.
I'm attracted too: confidence, a strong will, passion, balance, an open mind, motivated, thoughtfulness, honesty...
I'm seeking someone who's patched the cracks in their cup... or at least doesn't ignore them. We all have them. It won't matter how much someone pours their love into you. If you haven't patched your cracks, you will always feel empty. And, overtime the person you are with will feel empty and drained too.
We all have baggage... I want to find someone that's worth helping to unpack.
A woman who wants a relationship based on respect, honesty and appreciation.
