Date women from United States / California / Oakdale, 37 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I would describe myself as a funloving soul in search of a funloving companion to share life with. I'm not into the bar or club scene so I think that this is a great alternative for meeting new people. My friends would describe me as loyal, fun, loving, and good-hearted.
I am raising two wonderful daughters who are my pride and joy and my top priority. They live with me, but when they are with their father (which is 28% of the time) I would enjoy spending time with someone that I connect with. That could include doing anything from cooking dinner together and watching a rental to going on a weekend getaway, or anything in between. I'd like to take things slow at first, but In the long run, I hope to share and develop a lasting, loving, and understanding relationship and freindship with that special someone.
I enjoy going to the beach, camping on the beach, taking long scenic drives along the coast or any other beautiful scenic area, dining out, cooking together, going to the theater (movie or artsy), playing video, board, or card games together, snuggling on the couch, listening to music, sipping a glass of wine by the firepit over great conversation, attending concerts, spending a weekend in Las Vegas, Tahoe, Napa, LA, or San Francisco, and travelling to just about anywhere. I also enjoy hiking or bicycling anywhere with beautiful scenery, dancing (watching or participating), exploring new places and trying new things.
I hope to find someone that is intelligent, responsible, ambitious, funny, adventurous, fun, kind, loving, romantic, affectionate, easy-going, open-minded, handsome, and a gentleman... as these are all traits that I have to offer that special someone. And although i would prefer not to introduce you to my children too soon until I know things are serious, my man MUST love and be good with kids (especially mine)! And if you have kids, even better :)
