Date men from United States / California / La Palma, 44 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. First the major points: I've never been arrested. I've never been to therapy or seen a psychiatrist. I've never taken illegal drugs. I've never cheated on any of my exes. My mother lives in another state. And I'm looking for a relationship that leads to marriage. How's that? What? You need more?...sheesh.... . My friends tell me that: I'm a good listener, reasonably intelligent, funny, a little shy, patient, laid-back, direct, need to gain some weight but can pull my own, loyal, practical, low-maintenence, caring, an expert at useless trivia, and have grown into my looks (whatever the hell that means....)..... I am a teacher, so I won't be in the 100K - 150K income bracket (Sorry, 85% of match.com women!) , but I like my life (at my age, i'd better) and I'm not looking to one-up my neighbors. If I had the time and money, I would love to travel, but I will always choose creating a happy home, over seeing other people's homes in different countries.
I'm looking for a nice down-to-earth woman. It would also be geat if you're also open-minded, caring, independent but choose to hang out with me, have common sense, passion, humor, and can play the banjo while juggling on a unicycle (O.K., the last one is not that important.)
