Date women from United States / California / Los Alamitos, 47 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am a kind and caring person who loves to make people feel special. I'll bend over backwards to make you a nice dinner (although cooking together is always fun), a picnic, or a light snack. I keep mints in my purse (lol). It's the small gestures that go along way. I think that too many people get caught up in their own needs and forget to be thoughtful.
I just completed my graduate degree. I'm looking forward to having free time to spend weekends and evenings taking short trips up and down the coast, kayaking, attempting paddleboarding (soon:) reading for pleasure, working on the house, enjoying local beaches, and going to LA's art museums~ Generally enjoying all that So Cal has to offer now that I have some time! If you're adventurous, join me!
I'm really outgoing, I take the time to say good morning to people on the street and can chat it up with just about anyone. I am comfortable in many situations, you don't have to babysit me! I really enjoy someone who, like me, can hold their own in any situation. A man who is a great conversationalist is very appealing to me!
I love to dance~ any kind of music, really~80's music is so much fun.
I'm looking for someone who is comfortable and confident in who they are, loves their kids and will be cool to my very cool 19 and 21 year old college-going sons, can be kind and gentle while also being strong and fun. Someone who wants to travel, watch as well as play some sports (not 24/7 please!) and likes the tv off more than on. Someone who will cook next to me and open to sharing their day.
I'd prefer someone who cares about their appearance, but not a gym rat.

Meet a woman from California, United States. first things first, you should know that I am a Christian and when I say that it makes me smile from the inside out, but I am by no means legalistic. With all His love and grace Christ is the core of who I am.
i love most types of music with the exception of anything explicit or degrading.
My friends would say I'm loyal and I'm always the one planning our outings. They refer to me as "Julie" the cruise director (remember love boat?). I love surprises please if you know I'm going to be surprised don't ruin it! I am a runner and am training for my 4th marathon. I love love love to dance and it's a deal breaker if you don't dance...sorry. My favorite season is summer, the sunshine is like fuel for me, and while you are at it bring on the humidity it makes your skin look younger and what girl doesn't love that. I have lived in Arizona and Hawaii, trust me the tropical trade winds are far better then any dry heat! I've been sky diving which I think is one of the most exciting things I've ever done and don't know why I haven't done it again, but still no bungee jumping...not yet anyway. There isn't much I"m afraid of and even so I'd try whatever it is because I don't like fear to ever get the best of me there is one exception, ferris wheels ...yep! .There are times in my life where I was into rock climbing, cycling and tennis but for different reasons running has always continued to be a passion. I enjoy meeting new people especially while traveling. I've been all over the country and have traveled to Hong Kong, Ethiopia, Canada and Mexico and my favorite thing about those places were the people and the food.I am not looking for a father figure for my children, they have their Dad and we have a very amicable relationship.
My Mom taught me how to be a lady and my Father taught me how to be treated like one. They both taught me how to laugh.
I'm hoping to meet someone who really knows who he is and knows how to have a good laugh, you know that deep from your gut kind of laughter. He is adventuresome, outgoing and a gentleman, a kind of renaissance man. I do believe in chemistry and you know it when it's mutual you can't force it. You may be a very nice guy and find that initial attraction but please if you live further then 60 miles it really would not fit into my lifestyle.
...blah blah blah,I'm done writing about me you'll have to ask to find out more...LOL
