Date men and women from United States / California / Newbury Park, 42 year old

Date people from California, United States. I am generally a happy, and funloving individual. My friends would describe me as someone who is very friendly, warm w/positive energy, and enjoys good company.
I love being around people who make me laugh. Life is too short to dwell on negative things.
I have a little one at home and is my pride and joy. Just hearing her giggle at the end of a long day warms my heart and makes me smile w/joy.
Family is very important to me. They are essential in my life because they complete me and keep me grounded.
My ideal match is someone who shares the same interest and values family. Someone who is stable, good-natured, loves kids, works hard, and doesn't have a temper.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Hi there!
Thanks for reading my profile. As you can probably tell from my user name, I am a native Texan who found myself transplanted in beautiful California since 1993 (off and on). I am a single mom with two amazing, beautiful boys that mean the world to me and they come first in my life. I co-own a home staging/redesign business and when I'm not too busy during the day, I enjoy spending my time volunteering in the classroom. I am looking for someone to share some quality time with and we will see where that takes us. So if your interested drop me a line…
BTW: Here are some things I have experienced thus far: I am not looking to hook up, I am not interested in dating anyone from out of the state nor anyone that is outside a 30 mile radius of my home base (Long distance dating is just not for me).
Thanks for viewing my profile.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I enjoy new experiences - whether it is a new fact, new place, or new skill. It's a big world, so much to see and do. And with the right partner, life would be just that more fullfilling. I have a good sense of humor (smile lines to prove it) and appreciate the basics as well as the extravagant - I dont "need" to be showered with gifts - just love (but if you bring me flowers when it's not my birthday or Valentines Day, I'd be very happy with that!). If you understand the way to love a good woman, and have the ability/desire to do it, you will be amazed with the results: You will have NO complaints. I am old fashioned - I believe in being helpful, supportive, and being a good listener. I am a true romantic -I fall for love songs, love notes, hand holding/kissing in public, cooking for my man, giving massages, and drinking wine during a soak in the hot tub! I believe in being direct about what I think and want (in a diplomatic and sensitive way). Dropping hints and expecting the other person to intuitively know what I want is a set-up for failure (for everyone). I appreciate doors opened, coats held, and ordering for me - all the traits of a true gentlemen - it won't go unnoticed or unappreciated. I enjoy travelling (local and abroad) and seeing new sights. If you like adventure as well as a night in just watching a movie and holding hands/kissing, I am right here! I own my own home and am self-supporting (I'm not a "gold-digger or looking for a "sugar daddy"), and have 2 daughters in high school (one is a senior and one is a sophmore) that live with me part-time. Please don't contact me if you are not interested in a serious relationship. I look forward to hearing from you!
