Date men and women from United States / California / Moorpark, 43 year old

Date a soulmate from Moorpark, United States. I am a creative, passionate, optimistic, generous, romantic, sensual and confident woman. My friends consider me to be highly dependable. I am considerate of others and strive to be friendly in social situations and empathetic in interpersonal ones. Because of my tendency for an optimistic view of human nature, I am generally liked by others. I enjoy being organized, a trait that helps me to reach the goals I set for myself.
I am an accomplished cook and enjoy hosting gatherings for family and friends. I try to make moments in life memorable and meaningful. Events and romantic occasions are all that more special with a warm fire, candles, twinkle lights, soft lighting and mood enhancing music. A nice bottle of red from my wine cellar is usually in order too. I frequently receive compliments on my smile and sparkling eyes. I wear this look often.
I enjoy eating out but I do not eat out much because I have a love of cooking and I do it well. Family and friends are amazed that I rarely cook anything that doesnРІР‚в„ўt taste fantastic. I prefer quality over quantity at all times. Sometimes the best food comes from the hole in the wall places. I even gourmet cook when camping or if the only guest is me.
I love spending time outdoors and am considered athletic/coordinated: rv'ing/camping, walking on the beach during a sunset, playing/watching sports (I played fast-pitch softball for 10 years in my youth), rock climbing/repelling, snorkeling, kayaking, boogie boarding, playing smash ball, hiking and more. I seek adventure and I hope you do too.
I have the travel bug. I've been fortunate to see a lot of the states across the country. I have extended family in Europe which has allowed me to see a lot of Europe: Ireland, Scotland, Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, Austria, Switzerland and the Czech Republic. I hope to always feed my travel desires and step foot on many more countries.
I am best matched with a person who shares an optimistic view, holding a grudge doesnРІР‚в„ўt work well with you and you are generally satisfied with your life. A person who understands that there are good days and bad days in a relationship and when in conflict, you prefer to use constructive tactics, preserving the positive nature of the relationship. You are comfortable with opening up about your feelings and opinions. You thrive on time together and generally enjoy being around others. I would enjoy a person who is affectionate, considered outgoing, compassionate, kind, and helpful.
I have a wide variety of interests, driven from the fact that I have an inclination to try new activities, visit new places, and try new foods. I relish time with my loving family and express gratitude regularly for all the blessings in my life. I want someone to hold hands with, share intimate moments with, grow spiritually with and become my best friend. I am looking for someone who will challenge me to be a better person and vice versa. Is that person you?

Meet men and women from Moorpark, United States. I am pretty easy going and enjoy the simple things in life. My life is pretty good now but I do miss having a special person by my side to share the joys and just have some fun. I am new to this way of dating so I guess I am skeptical but if you never try how do you ever know? I am honest and fair but do have a healthy competitive streak in me. I think trying to be your best is a good thing.
I have three kids that are my life 22, 20 and 14 but they are on their way to finding their own dreams so now I am starting to find mine.
I would like to find the person I can enjoy what life has to throw our way. I want a partner - someone who is comfortable in his own skin but still up for adventure. I want to go through life laughing through the hard things together as a team. Long term, I would like to be in a committed relationship and grow old together. When it is right - we will know it!
I am a lady but grew up a tomboy so I still love to watch sports live and on TV, wilderness hikes, would love to travel more, read a good book or the Sunday paper with coffee, or try a new recipe with my partner and a glass of wine or a good beer. Spending time outdoors playing with my dogs, gardening or enjoying a good view with BBQ would be a nice way to wind down. I am hoping you are someone would enjoy different music, tastes, and cuisine with me on this journey so we can have fun together.
Are you up for the challenge?
