Date women from United States / California / Martinez, 52 year old

Date someone special from Martinez, United States. I'm very active, enjoying Taekwondo classes 4-5 days a week, usually with my 9 yr old son, who keeps me young and is the light of my life.
While exercise is important, so is relaxing with that special someone and time with family and friends. The truth is that I can enjoy just about anything from winetasting, to pulling weeds as long as the company is good.
I am looking for a man that is intelligent, caring, and comfortable socially. Most of us our divorced and have our scars, but they should not define our futures, only help us to take a better path moving forward. Is your heart still open enough to love someone again?
Laughter is so important and a man who makes me laugh and has a great smile will always get a smile in return. Relationships take time and effort, just like anything that you do, but we are meant to travel in pairs...hand in hand...

Meet a woman from Martinez, United States. I work hard and I like to relax and have fun. I like many kinds of music including jazz classical. I like serious musical theater. I like to walk and hike but not camp. I want to travel - both short car trips and planes to far away places. I like to go out to eat and I also like to cook & bake. I like to go to movies, especially comedies, but not violent movies. I am not into sports except my niece's college volleyball team but it is OK if you are. I do not think that just because you date or are in a relationship that you have to always be together or do the same things. I have friends that I enjoy spending time with and I like to be alone sometimes. I am independent. I like to garden, I enjoy watching the plants grow and the flowers bloom and nothing tastes better that a tomato right off the vine. I believe that is OK to have differences even when you are a couple. Our politics do not have to match as long as we respect the other person's right to their opinion. I have 2 cats but I grew up with dogs and get along with them. I am a loyal friend. I am a great listener but I also tend to talk a fair amount. While I chose to not have children of my own, I love my nephew and nieces and enjoy my friends children. I like to go to art museums and galleries.
I am looking for a man to spend time with and get to know. I want to share adventures. I want to support him and know that he supports me. I want to be understood and appreciated for the person that I am. I believe in honesty and integrity. I am not high maintenance or clingy. I am easy-going and open-minded.
