Date women from United States / California / Rio Linda, 64 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am looking for someone who has made their mistakes as I have and have learned from them in a positive manner. I need a best friend who is a good communicator and listener. I look for honest, respectful interaction with my friends and most importantly in my "honey". I am loyal to a fault and refuse to get caught up in all of the drama in the news and those people who thrive on any drama. I only look positively forward and need that in my partner. I can be serious or playful, I can dig in the dirt or go to a Black Tie affair and be comfortable. I would love to learn to better my dancing skills, snuggle with with my very loyal buddy (enough of the dogs! )and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that my guy is not a player because I would never think of being one. I have my hobbies and hopefully you do too. We don't need to be joined at the hip but when we are apart wecan't wait to see each other again. I know that sounds corny and tright but how else do you say it?
I am fun loving and can be witty with the right person. As many of you men have said, finding the right mate takes time but when it happens....!!!. I really want to get to know you and feel comfortable and you with me. I am a person who wears her heart on her sleeve so the chemistry is apparent (or not) right off the bat. I am not naive but sometimes overly trusting. I am not very good at hiding my excitement and my disappoints. Yea, in other words, I am sensitive but not high maintenance.
I am easy going and love to share my thoughts, no matter how trivial they are and when you share I will listen to you, knowing that your thoughts are important to you. Both of us need to have a sense of humor about ourselves 'cuz I want to laugh at the silly things you do. Believe me, your turn to laugh at me will come to you threefold as I do alot of silly things! "HE WHO LAUGHS LAST LAUGHS BEST!" I have learned that life goes by so quickly that we all need to enjoy the good, not waste time on the bad and never let the sun go down without rectifying "issues". I have had my share of bumps in the road but I have always landed on my feet. Is it because of my attitude or am I just lucky? I'll never know but no sense dwelling on that which I can't fix or understand.
I love traveling and have done so alot in my younger years. I am hoping to be able to retire soon and make up for lost time.
One of my favs is to take weekend trips. My first choice of where to go is simple for me: Mendocino: water, beautiful scenery, great food and great B&B's if we don't feel like going anywhere.
I was fortunate to grow up racing a sailboat with my dad in the SF Bay so I do love the water. But confession #1: I'm a terrible swimmer.
Family is important to me: both yours and mine. I am not your average jealous woman (oh, I probably just made a bunch of women mad!) but my expectations of monogamy and respect are written in stone.
If you have any words of wisdom or a story to share or ??????? feel free to get in touch. I enjoy others' perspective. I hope to hear from you.
(please, no pictureless profiles).
I think that is disrespectful not to answer emails you might send, so I promise that I answer all who respond. Take care!
