Date women from United States / California / Mission Viejo, 51 year old

Date a woman from United States. I love to explore the world, and hope to leave it a little better place.
I am a young looking 59 years old, and thrive on healthy living, exercise, eating right, and finding joy in nature.
I belong to the local Unitarian Church and, as a public school teacher, I am an inclusive person. Accepting people, without prejudice, is an ideal that I live by, and is a necessary quality in a partner.
I like finding the positive in most situations, and adapt easily to challenges and problems. Exploring new environments recharges my energy, so on vacation, I house exchange, visit my family in Colorado or travel internationally.
I read as a hobby and admire a creative, intellectually curious mind, and an even, fair minded person who finds joy in life.

Meet someone special from United States. I've spent many years raising my kids to teenagers pretty much on my own. Now that they're gaining independence and their social life no longer includes as many evenings and weekends with their mom (imagine that!), I'm looking for a great guy who is active and health conscious. It's not that complicated, really—I'm just looking for an enlightened grown-up who is interested in a solid relationship along with a good time. Major integrity, physical attraction and genuine kindness are essential. Possessing the art of how to speak with a woman you're romantically interested in is a plus!
I love to travel and have visited Greece, Japan, China, Taiwan, France, Spain, Amsterdam, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, England, Canada, Mexico and a few others...some twice. I have spent many summers and Thanksgivings in Hawaii and have great affection for the birthplace of my parents and home of many family members. There are so many places still to explore, but lately I've been spending lots of time at my best friend's organic vegetable farm in Oregon. I didn't know the beauty of Oregon could be so mesmerizing! I've gone 4-5 times in the last 2 years.
My friends would describe me as genuinely nice, articulate, dependable, smart and trustworthy. One of my friends told me she loves that I'm spontaneous and open to jump into anything. My strengths (from the book Strength Finders) are empathy, strategic, learner, connectedness... and I can't remember the last one! Ha! Obviously not one I utilize very frequently! Definitely not memory. I'm usually either on or off, meaning I'm usually really busy with various projects, tasks, events or goals involving either sport shoes or high heels or I'm on the couch with a book or a movie, no make up and a cup of soy chai! I love to take care of my friends and family and my man, of course! Maybe nurturer is my forgotten strength!

Date a soulmate from United States. I am a midwestern girl, with midwestern values who is sensitive (I have been known to cry at cat food commercials) and smart (two masters degrees). I have a good sense of humor, especially when it comes to laughing at myself. I have been told by strangers that I do not look or act my age. My pictures don't do me justice...I am a mom who takes photos of her kids, not of herself. :( I am sensual, passionate, compassionate and a good listener.
While I am well educated, I believe that much of what we learn comes from those we surround ourselves with and our life experiences. I love what I do for a living. My job is intense and interesting, I work with at risk youth in the education system, and have been doing this for 18 years.
My kids are important to me, they are smart, funny and well behaved. Our pets are important members of the household (a Laborador Retriever, Welsh Corgi, Siamese cat, and two golden rabbits.) My close friends often say that I am a good listener, and the least judgemental person they know. Sarcasm and a quick wit make me smile.
I love a good cup of cofee, and anything that contains chocolate. Potatoes are my desert island food. I love to cook, and entertain. I love the smell of the ocean, the sun, salty spray on my skin. I love a good kisser, and someone who is willing to hold my hand, and put his hand on the small of my back when walking beside me.
I am looking for a fun, honest, sensitive, sensual, trustworthy man who is responsible and feels comfortable doing spontaneous things. I love men who take good care of their bodies and are fairly fit. My idea of a romantic date is a picnic at the beach or in the mountains.

Me: An independent, fun, classy, intelligent, sweet, sociable, self-motivated hard worker, and sometimes silly girl who loves to laugh is looking for a sweet, intelligent, and kind man to accompany me through life's adventures. Doesn't seem to be so difficult, conceptually, does it? I ended a 10 year relationship back in Dec, 2010 and have been happily and contentedly frolicking through life with good friends, family, my furry companions, Jimmy Wally, reconnecting with the people and things that I love.

Movies I Cannot Stop Watching: Braveheart, The Other Boleyn Girl, Pulp Fiction, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Forrest Gump, Wizard of Oz, Legends of the Fall, A River Runs Through It.
On My iPod: U2, Oasis, Classic Rock (Zeppelin, Who), 60's, Alternative, Rockabilly.. and, yes, Donny Osmond.
Other Things I Enjoy With Great Passion: Fish Tacos, Guacamole, Chips Salsa, Margaritas, Craft Ale, Wine Tasting, Disneyland, a crackling fire and cozy blanket, beach chair/book/sand/breeze/sun, nature.

Some Places I'd Like To See: Scotland, Ireland, France, Belgium, Belize, Cozumel, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, Australia.

. I suppose we should start with me. When you boil it all down, IРІР‚в„ўm pretty simple. IРІР‚в„ўm funny, confident, sincere and very comfortable in my own skin. At times I must admit, my sense of humor can be a bit wicked. But what is life if not to laugh? IРІР‚в„ўm loyal and honest to a fault and yes, 50 is my real age. However no one believes that is my true age, most people think IРІР‚в„ўm early 40РІР‚в„ўs. ItРІР‚в„ўs probably because my attitude is so light hearted and easy going. IРІР‚в„ўm compassionate, intuitive and direct (not in a mean, angry or cranky way). YouРІР‚в„ўll never have to worry about what is on my mind, I'm very open. That being said, I am ridiculously even tempered and NEVER say anything that is hurtful or unkind.
I can be a bit of a paradox. I can be a РІР‚?girly girlРІР‚в„ў and yet IРІР‚в„ўm really comfortable at Home Depot. IРІР‚в„ўm handy with tools and I LOVE fresh flowers and a long hot bath with scented candles. I love high end electronics and deliciously luxurious French perfume. I have a child-like curiosity for life and feel truly grateful for having been lucky enough to have such an extraordinary life thus far. I believe family and friends are the most treasured gifts in life. I know IРІР‚в„ўm not perfect but life is a journey and there is so much to learn along the way. Values such as honesty, loyalty and personal integrity are very important to me and are not an РІР‚?optionРІР‚в„ў.
My heritage is Italian so nothing is better than good friends and a great home cooked meal with conversation and laughs - lots of laughs. Or perhaps, a romantic night out which could be a picnic at sunset, dinner in front of the fireplace at home or our favorite quaint restaurant. Slow dancing in front of the fire…mmm….sounds good to me. As I said at the beginning, I’m pretty simple. It is the little gestures in life that make the greatest impact. I believe it is actions that speak volumes, not just words. I am independent and hard working. I own my own business, and have developed products for my industry and hold the patent for them.
So who am I looking for? Besides the elusive and magical chemistry? The last guy I will spend Sunday mornings in bed reading the paper and drinking cappuccinoРІР‚в„ўs. My best friend and partner in life. You are a gentleman. Intelligent, funny and compassionate. We will share the same values and most times we will be РІР‚?on the same pageРІР‚в„ў. Being together is effortless. You are strong, confident, communicative and accomplished but not afraid of a good practical joke. Like me, you are an amazing blend of contrasts and life's lessons that compliment us and blend us together seamlessly. You are spiritually conscious and emotionally available (I know that sounds cliche - but you get the idea).
Drop me a line if you would like to continue this 'conversation'. Best of luck in your journey.
