Date women from United States / California / Ojai, 63 year old

Date someone special from Ojai, United States. Someone who likes to eat good food since I like to cook and do wine tastings and eat at tasty restaurants. Someone who enjoys quiet time with a good book on the beach or in a camping setting or at home. Someone who is a competent camper and/or backpacker and feels at home in that setting. A mature person who enjoys culture, concerts (The Living Room Tour featuring Carol King few years back year was fabulous!) live theatre (Pageant of the Masters) and music (Mama Mia, The Lion King). Someone who enjoys an occasional road trip to explore new places and is okay with me taking along my easel and paintbox. A person who enjoys life, doesn't have too many hang-ups, likes smelling the roses and listening to the birds. A gentleman who is looking for a woman who is mature, sure of herself and intelligent.

Meet a soulmate from Ojai, United States. I have been widowed for 11 years and am looking for someone to share some of my interests. I enjoy horseback riding, golf and hiking. I also enjoy going to symphonies, concerts and shows. I am very versatile. Trying to find current pictures to post.

Date a woman from Ojai, United States. I'm happy! not lost, sad or afraid. I'm at a time in my life where I can be spontaneous, wow! My passport is current (hint-I like to be warm!)
I'm surrounded by friends & family who are encouraging me to take some time for myself, as I care, perhaps too much, nurture & protect those around me ...so here I am. I'm taking golf lessons, enjoying Pilates, walking & talking with dear friends, learning more about wine (a detailed, delicious business), letting go of things that need to go & embracing the new! I haven't traveled much but enjoyed an incredible trip to Ireland recently & last year Savannah, New York & Paris this year!
I have enjoyed a most incredible life to this point, have lived & learned. I would like to enter the next phase with a dance partner, a friend, companion, confidant, someone to share & be shared with. I would like to be cherished & you will be cherished right back. Life is a balancing act & a partner that won't tip the scales would be a welcome fit.
Gentlemen: This is a new experience for me on Match & I’m learning... I'm exploring Match as I would like to share the next part of my life with a Good Man (I'm not interested in being your therapist, mother, or the many other things some of you seem to need. I'm not looking to co-habitate after speaking once, I'm religious but don't appreciate your scripture quoting, if your idea of a first invitation is "I'm at the bar almost everyday around 4, come by" (...really? I'm a mature woman & respect myself too much & am looking to be treated a bit differently than this), while it may sound terribly romantic to "wade in & be lost in the depth of my eyes, captured by my soul", it doesn't sound authentic in the first email, is even a bit creepy. I don't want to meet you at a gas station & go for a drive on our first meeting (how can a gentleman suggest this? My guy would never think of this, it’s not safe, he would protect me, & want me to be comfortable), & if your age range begins at 22? My children are older than that) - you are looking for something far different from me ...these are actual highlights of my first week on Match – I had no idea, wow! Please read everything, if you're not a match please move on to another profile better suited to you. I'm happy, secure, confident & want the same.
I feel that I must expound on my bio tell you who the man of my dreams is…you are tall, so that you can pick me up & swing me around when we are happy; you are healthy so we can get into all kinds of mischief together – you will be right by my side as we sneak into the second movie (we just finished drinking the bottle of wine we smuggled into our first movie–we're not alcoholics, our picnic was rained out, we ran for the nearest shelter & made the best of things); you want to dance with me at social events, the local club, on the street in front of everyone, & in private-even when there's no music; you will call me with news of an unexpected meeting in another city, we have to leave for the airport in an hour (you know I will make it happen); you have been hurt (as we all have-it’s life), but have grown with life’s disappointments & focus on them as positive learning experiences; you will love my little insecurities take me in your arms hold me if I need to cry; you will know when it’s time for us to laugh; you will be kind generous to not only our friends family but, also our community; you will respect my love of our Father in Heaven even if you are not religious; you will listen to me, you will talk to me about what’s on your mind, in your heart & I will be a partner to you. You are a man's man. I have a g mail account cmezori.
