Date women from United States / California / Portola Hills, 61 year old

Date a woman from United States. People find me to be quiet, shy, reserved at first. But once engaged you will find that I have very passionate feelings about life, love, and and the human condition, and I enjoy sharing my ideas with others. People tell me I'm funny and I love to make people laugh. It's must be genetic...I come from a funny family where everyone laughs at themselves! I have very traditional values, which I attribute to my southern roots.
I am a petite blonde turned redhead (brings out the color in my eyes). I like spontaneity and I'm not afraid to change my appearance from time to time to keep life interesting. I'm physically fit, not because I work out regularly, but having been a dancer since I was young, I feel compelled to keep myself in shape rather than fix it later. I appreciate the value of preserving oneself for the golden years that we work so hard to get to. The men in my life describe me as voluptuous (thanks, guys).
I enjoy most types of music..classic rock, blues, jazz, classical, and, yes, country western. I have a passion for ballroom dancing. Would love to meet someone who shares that passion, but the desire or ability to dance is not a prerequisite. I enjoy the theatre and movies, preferring a good storyline and a good performance to special effects. What I enjoy doing really has more to do with the person I'm with...I'm usually up for anything!
I'm comfortable with the type of person I am, and I'd like to find someone who has the same qualities and values as myself. A good sense of humor is a must. I am a very positive person by nature...I find the good in people first (maybe a little too trusting at times). I prefer to be with someone who doesn't waste time looking for flaws in others or dwelling on life's negatives. Everyone has their quirks...as long as they aren't offensive, we should find them endearing as this is what makes us individuals. I'm looking for a home body who doesn't mind dressing up on occasion...who would like to travel occasionally...but likes to unwind in front of the TV at night...who isn't afraid to get out and do something physical...but a lazy streak is ok...I'm a Gemini...I'm flexible. Looking for someone who loves nature and the beauty of the gifts we've been given. I enjoy people and sharing ideas and feelings with others. I can become engaged in conversation with strangers at the drop of a hat.
The man I'm looking for should be strong and tender...will be my friend and protector, and I will be his. Soft lips and a nice smile are a must. Hair is not a requirement, but should be well-groomed. I don't want to see a picture of you without your shirt, and I prefer a man who wears shirts with sleeves. I want a man who takes pride in his appearance and is physically fit. I prefer pictures of you...show me your travel pics later. This may sound like a laundry list, but it will eliminate wasted emails and winks.
If you've read this far, perhaps we're on the same wave length. Would love to hear from you if that's the case, otherwise, I wish you well on your search.
