Date men and women from United States / California / Independence, 54 year old

Date a soulmate from United States. Am a happy man seeking to meet a special woman to share his life with.I describe myself as very loyal, generous, perserving and caring - I believe that you should treat others as you would want to be treated yourself. I am very independent and have worked hard to achieve my goals in life.
Being a true romantic at heart, I like to be affectionate with my partner and enjoy holding hands, having romantic dinners and vacations together, wearing nice clothes and cuddling while relaxing at home watching a good movie. I am very down to earth and like that quality in others as well. At this same time, I do appreciate the finer things in life and enjoy getting dressed up to go to the theatre or opera, out for dinner or dancing. I enjoy keeping active and healthy by swimming,walking,hiking,dancing,playing golf and bike riding. While I do enjoy city life, I also love to be around mother nature as I find the treees, ocean and mountains regenerate me and bring me a lot of inner peace.
My ideal woman would be someone who is caring,loving,understanding,honest.I am most attracted to gorgeous ladies who are self assured but not arrogant, faithful, intelligent, mature, have a kind heart, live a healthy lifestyle and are looking for a long term relationship, I believe a good partnership is one where both people contribute to it, support each other through the good and bad times and give each other space (after all we all need our own caves from time to time!).
I am grateful for everything I have in my life - good friends, Have an amazing teenage girl who is the center of my life, an adorable pet and a home that I love, but I would really love to meet my soulmate who wants to build a life together with me. Could this be you?
