Date women from United States / California / Rancho Santa Margarita, 54 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Friends that know me well would describe me as an outgoing, energetic person who loves to laugh, have fun and make the most of every day. I know myself well and I am quite happy in my life. I have a playful, yet romantic side to my personality. I've learned that balance is very important in life. I have been told that I am very comfortable to be around.
I enjoy hikes at the beach, rollerblading, working out at the gym, summer picnics, entertaining friends, and enjoying a glass of wine with someone special and sharing great conversation. Other favorites include trying new restaurants (or new recipes), theatre, concerts, weekend getaways and traveling to tropical destinations. I have traveled to such places as Thailand, Tahiti, Mayan Riviera, Hawaii and would love to explore Europe in the near future. I am open to other places....any suggestions?
My idea of a successful relationship would be two people who are open about their feelings, honest and truthful regardless of how it may impact the other person. Communication is a vital component to a healthy relationship. Also important is giving each other their space when necessary. Accept each other's shortcomings, enjoy the highs and deal with the lows. Each person brings something different to the table.
I would like to meet an intelligent man with integrity who shares some similar interests. Someone who is considerate, romantic, active, fun to be with and most important, a gentleman. Having a good sense of humor is very attractive to me. I am looking for a person who views the glass as "half full" rather than "half empty". I am looking for my best friend and romantic companion. Could this be you? If so, I would love to hear from you! (P.S. All my photos are current, taken as of June 2012)
