Date women from United States / California / Greenbrae, 53 year old

Date someone special from Greenbrae, United States. In general I am a lover of life. I am honest, down to earth, and I enjoy a good time. I can have a quick wit, laugh a lot even at myself, and enjoy humor in others. I was born and raised on the East Coast and have lived in Northern California for 16 years. I have an excellent work ethic, but I am a work hard, play hard, kind of gal. I make friends easily and I have a lot of very good friends. My friends are a very important part of my life.
So what am I looking for in a mate? In short, a nice man with a bit of an edge. What do I mean by that? It is not easy to put into words but I guess I'm not seeking Mr. Uptight. Preferably he will have a great sense of humor and make me laugh from time to time and hopefully we can laugh together. I like to be challenged and I encourage it. It helps me grow which helps me become a better person. Please don't be shy with the advice. I have self confidence and am a strong and independent woman with a lot of drive and appreciate that in others. I feel it is important to just be in someone's company and appreciate the silences that might exist. I want a soul mate where the relationship is so natural that it is like we have known each other forever.
I have two grown children that I am very proud of and love very much,
As far as my current work, I'm a Realtor and need and use my drive for that work every day. As hard as my work can be sometimes, I love it and I am good at it.
I enjoy lots of things in life whether it be hiking, exercise, fine dining, good wine, socializing, movies, sports, travel and more. I want to live life to its fullest and I'd love to find someone that I can talk with, laugh with, travel with, entertain with etc.. I'm a good person, looking for another good person, that I can enjoy spending time with.
