Date men from United States / California / Merced, 41 year old

Date a soulmate from United States. I am fun and adventurous. I would like to find a like minded soul to enjoy my adventures with. My perfect date would be; a hike, dive, or bike ride followed by a great meal in a beautifull setting. "What ever yours hands find to do, do with all your might." These are words I try to live by.

Meet someone special from United States. After high school I went into the military (Army) and got married soon after wards to my high school sweetheart and remained married for 12 years. I have one child a daughter. She is 18 years old and lives with my former wife in Arizona. I work in Human resources primarily but recently took a temporary position working for the government in the Middle East. I have been living in Phoenix AZ for several years now but planned on moving back to California soon. Yes, I am presently in California and plan to remain here. My hope is that my daughter will be going to a university here and I want to live closer to her and the rest of my family.
As for hobbies, I have always enjoyed weight lifting, relaxing at home, going to the movies, or grilling outside with friends or family. I consider myself very easy going and do not like conflicts. I think life can be challenging enough without creating additional friction around ourselves. I am generally in a good mood, optimistic and like to enjoy the simple things in life. I think I have experienced a lot in my life, mostly good things and I am very excited about the future. I feel I have grown as a person and want to apply those lessons towards creating a better home life for me and my family.
I want to travel a little over the next few years (and I have already started by going to Colombia, Ukraine, Dubai, Spain and I just returned from Panama City Panama and Mexico) and will likely visit you Europe in the spring time. As for what I am looking for, this can be summarized into someone whom I will truly love and who will love me equally. That is my primary concern. I want mutual trust and respect for each other and my best friend all in one. I love children and feel they need a strong family around them full of love and support. I believe I have been a good father in the past and hope that if I ever have children again I will be even better. As for additional descriptions, I am 41 years old, 220 pounds, medium to heavy build about, 5 feet 8 inches, black hair, brown eyes, light brown complexion, average appearance and looks, of Hispanic decent. I speak Spanish very well and of course native English.
I believe in destiny and sincerely believe that what is meant to be will find a way. I think that keeps me positive and keeps me hoping for a better tomorrow. As for children, I am open to it but feel it should be planned. My daughter is an adult (over 18) but she still acts like a baby lol… I am not certain how she will respond to an additional member of the family but I suppose she will understand? I hope you did not find this to boring? And that it gave you information on who I am.
