Date women from United States / California / Marysville, 61 year old

Date someone special from Marysville, United States. It's unbelievably difficult to answer this question in 200 characters. I would say I'd like to find someone more interested in me than in himself, and more interested in us than in me.
I will be very straighforward so as not to waste your time. I would like to meet someone to share a friendship with at first, and see how it goes. I'm not in a hurry for sunsets and eternal handholding. I don't drink or smoke, and honestly don't have tolerance for either one, no offense to you or judgement if you do. I like family get togethers, and I would be just as interested in your family and kids as you are, unless you are obsessed with them. In terms of relationships, I do know you can't make one last that at some point does not test the integrity of the individuals and the values that the couple share. I also know for sure that there has to be some "chemistry" involved to begin with to make it work, and each of of will know pretty much right off the bat whether that's there or not. "Right off the bat" might be within 5 seconds, or could take a few days.
"Winks" from you, while at first glance endearing, are generally ignored, no offense, but they don't tell me anything about your thoughts, ideas, feelings, impressions, et cetera, anymore than a "smiley" emoticon (or a barfing one) tells me how you're doing or feeling. Thank you for stopping by, I truly appreciate it. Semper Fi.
