Date men and women from United States / California / Rancho Bernardo, 51 year old

Date a soulmate from United States. I am easy-going, down-to earth, like the simple things in life - a walk down the beach, sunsets, full moons, snuggled up by the fire, reading a good book, genuine smiles and laughter. I love spending time with my daughter, family, and friends. I desire to share a fun and adventurous life together, friendship, commitment, intimacy, romance, supporting and loving each other. I am looking for a relationship built on a foundation of friendship and fire. I love going to the beach, hiking the cliffs at Torrey Pines. I enjoy deep conversations, value honesty, education, an intelligent mind, hard-work, and planning to balance out my spontaneous side. I am very affectionate, giving, and loving. True romance never goes out of style in my book.
I am looking for a down-to-earth man, with an easy smile, and a good sense of humor, who is financially, emotionally, and spiritually stable. Someone who loves the beach, paddleboarding on the bay, kayaking perhaps, bicycling, traveling, and weekend trips up the coast, someone who also enjoys hanging at home....watching dvds, playing board games by the fire, bbqing, cooking meals together, family and friends gathering, going to the movies and out to restaurants or concerts, listening to live music, sharing the daily "stuff" of life..
As I get older, I so value a man who is unselfish, giving, and has a kind and compassionate heart. Just as I hope that as you age, you now value a woman more for her friendship, the intimacy you share as a couple, your common interests and values, and her capacity to love and respect you. I have Christian beliefs, and enjoy going to church on Sundays. I would classify myself as a hippie conservative, if there is such a thing.
I enjoy exploring the coastal communities near North San Diego, close to where I live in Rancho Bernardo - Del Mar, Solana Beach, Encinitas, Cardiff, Carlsbad, San Clemente, Dana Point, Laguna Beach, Newport - it's hard to beat all that Southern CA has to offer...Hawaii is beautiful and relaxing. I would love to travel to Europe some day - always dreamt of spending a romantic night in Paris, and revisiting the Canadian side of Niagara Falls is definitely on my "return to" list again.
I believe the greatest thing we have to share in this life is our love. LIfe is so much better together.
