Date women from United States / California / North Tustin, 47 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Hi there,
My friends would describe me as friendly, thoughtful, fun, athletic, easy-going, dedicated, compassionate, hmmm...that's a good start. I smile at puppies, babies and a good practical joke:).
I'm very grateful for my children (22 and 20), family and wonderful friends who have been there in the good times and not such good times. That's the real test of friendship.
I love doing all of the wonderful things life as to offer. There really is so much to list. I'm happy going to the beach, taking a bike ride, a walk, a show, a hike, whipping you at tennis, oh I mean playing tennis. Changing it up is good as well, sometimes going out, and other times staying in to garden, cook, maybe watch a little football (now that got your attention:). I love to travel, it's great to get away and rejuvenate, experience other places and try new things. But spending time with that special person and creating memories together is what it is all about.
I'm looking for a man who can make me laugh, is active, smarter than the average bear, and what else does a girl want...romance. I value one's character the most which comes through in so many ways. I've found that the little things you do for one another really make all the difference. While obviously there needs to be physical chemistry, a strong friendship is the foundation to a good loving relationship.
Life is more fun and richer when sharing it with someone you care about, who doesn't want that. A new chapter awaits....
