Date women from United States / California / Grover Beach, 47 year old

Date someone special from Grover Beach, United States. Please be gentle, it's my first time trying on-line dating!
About me? Well, I'm tall (truly 5'9" and wear heels on top of that), fit but working on losing about 20#, and I work out 5 /week (gym, hiking, etc). I have an unconventional work schedule (read: I work evenings on the weekends) so ideally I would like to spend time with a guy who makes his own schedule or who also has an unconventional work schedule. I love my nieces and nephews but I am not looking to be a parent or step parent (sorry - I'm sure your kids are lovely). My 5 year old nephew says I "look like a muppet" when I get out bed in the morning (probably due to the unruly curly hair) - not the look I was going for, but accurate nonetheless! I own my own home near Pismo Beach and drive a beat up 10 year old car that I love. I like reading about eastern philosophy, have friends of pretty much every faith but am a staunch non-christian at this point and not looking to convert, I embrace the philosphy of "live and let live": I don't eat meat or poultry for personal reasons, but I don't care what my friends or dates eat, and I never have a problem finding something to eat at a restaurant. I also watch cartoons on at late night and find South Park and Family guy really funny sometimes.. I admit to being a recovering abuser of run-on sentences (sort of, no really, I'm trying).
I am hoping to meet someone who likes to hike with dogs, is not cat-phobic, and is o.k. with taking things slowly and getting to know each other.

Meet a woman from Grover Beach, United States. okay…. here goes.
Im a simple person who every once in a while likes to do something unexpected. I love to be around people and I also very comfortable just being at home alone. I love to dance and laugh.
I guess I can put down all the things I think or feel that I am, however that being said, we all think or feel we are a certain way, but if we are really honest with ourselves and listen to others we will discover more about ourselves than we most likely want to know.
So I will tell you what I'm hoping to find……..
Someone who I can tell all my secrets to… and my hopes and fears and they won't judge me… Someone who will tell me their secrets… hope, fears, wants and needs… knowing that I will never judge and I am a vault
Someone who I can play with…. work with…… or just be and do nothing with…
Someone who I can fight with (if needed) and I won't worry that they will leave.
Someone who will take the time to get to know me… all of me. I so look forward to doing the same with someone special.
I think meeting someone for the first time and having that spark is what tells us if we want to know more……. and learning more about that person getting to know them inside and out, everything about them and wanting to do that for the rest of our lives…. can be an amazing ride.
I'm looking for someone who wants to take that ride with me………вЂ
В¦.
By the way……. if your just looking for a "good time"….. keep looking I don't play that game. Never have … never will.
~Peace and love
