Date men from United States / California / Madera, 39 year old

Date someone special from Madera, United States. Talking about yourself and introducing yourself to others in a few short sentences is very difficult thing to do. Depending on what you write or say will affect how people respond to you and that is a tough call to make. But, here goes nothing! I am a very amicable person that loves to laugh. I am truly loyal and honest with the person I’m with, caring about them as much as I care about myself. I have been heart broken a lot of times but it has taught me about what I am really looking for. I want someone who wants me around but also understands space is something you have to have. I have a son who is 7 and I have him 100% of the time. I don't have him every other weekend like some people do; he is mine full time. I'm very careful about him meeting or hanging out with someone until I know they'll be around for a long time.
I’m an honest person; you can ask me anything you’d like to know. For this reason, I would like someone as honest and loyal as myself. Since I know looks are fleeting, I don’t focus too much on the outside appearance; it’s the inside that really counts. I need a real friend, not someone who says they are my friend and when the wind blows they’re gone. I hope to hear back from some of you to give it a try.
I have a list of a million things I want from my life partner but they are so hard to put into words. I'm going to just say I want it all; I want to be the older couple walking hand and hand on the beach. I think that says it all.
