Date women from United States / California / Hercules, 66 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Hi, thanks for checking my profile. I an a "Native" California, growing up in the East Bay. In 1970, I decided to "leave home" (about time, I was 23), and go to Hawaii. I actually went on a "singles tour"... after the tour was over I decided that I wanted to stay there (Oahu) and so, I did! I was pretty much on my own, and later met some people through the YMCA, where I was staying. I met my husband there (Mainlander). I came back to California in 1984 (after divorce) because I felt there was more opportunities for me here. I am happy here in the Bay Area, and there are so many things to do here. I like that you can go to different areas and have fun almost anywhere. I like being by the ocean, so Monterey is a favorite place, and Lake Tahoe is great, too. Even San Francisco for the day is fun, to a museum, or Golden Gate Park, a good restaurant and just exploring around. I also just like to go hear live music, and like most kinds, especially jazz and/or classical. I also just wouldn't mind staying home, and relaxing with a nice dinner and movie.... nothing fancy, but cozy. I'm a pretty decent cook, and hope you'd have a "well-rounded" healthy appetite (like veggies, too). I am fairly active in my church (non-denominational) and sing in their choir (we're contemporary) and enjoy performing very much. I like the feeling I am connecting with people through my singing. By the way, although I loved Hawaii, there are other places I'd like to go someday.... I'd love to go to Greece and possibly, Paris (?) someday... and the British Isles. I went to Germany in 1997, first and only time to Europe, and was a very interesting trip. Thanks for your taking time to check out my profile.My ideal match would be a fun-loving.. kind and aware, too. someone who is basically happy with his life, spontaneous, but also puts some thought into what activities we could enjoy together. Someone who is aware of other parts of my life, including other friends and/or family, as well as his own family/friends. To have good communication between us regarding what we both want and need to make a good relationship. It would be good to be friends first, but, of course, "chemistry" always is a part of any relationship... we would just have to see when we meet... so, send an e-mail, if you think anything of what I've said... might be interesting to you...
