Date women from United States / California / Roseville, 53 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. yes, you read correctly. i am 53 years old, but i happen to look younger, thanks to great genes. and, yes, these are current pictures. in fact the hawaii ones were taken this month - july 2012. i have been carded recently, but not because i forced my ID on anyone. =)
i am recently divorced, therefore i am new to the world of dating, so i am taking it very slowly. ...plus, i don't want to get scammed =)
ok, here i go...
eyes are the first thing I notice, followed by the smile and face that accompany them. From there, I am attracted to a sense of humor, kindness, intelligence, thoughtfulness, respect, honesty, conversation, and sense of style.
i love a good glass of wine and a good meal, great conversation, a sense of humor and wit, dancing, a good book, relaxing, outdoor fun, the ocean, my job (most of the time), spending time with family and friends.
i like being active as much as i like relaxing. i enjoy tennis, dancing, kayaking, walking along the beach, limited doses of hiking and jogging. but i have to tell you that i am not athletic by any means. i am active to stay healthy and fit and to find that ever elusive girlish figure.
for relaxation, you might find me at starbucks reading a book or the paper, listening to music, sitting outdoors in the shade somewhere, shopping, watching a movie or a play, drinking a glass of wine or a glass of something else, hanging out with friends.
so if you like most of the things that i do, contact me and let's see if there is chemistry, compatibility, and communication.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I am a positive outlook person with a friendly, fun, outgoing personality. I am a caring, kind, sincere and independent woman who enjoys an intelligent conversation and I am comfortable in any social setting. I have a good sense of humor and I have a young attitude towards life. I am originally from a large city on the east coast and appreciate traditional values and family. I have a wonderful 16 year old son who is my pride and joy and he lives at home with me and visits his father who lives in San Francisco.

Date a woman from California, United States. Have you "been there, done that" with the dating scene? Are you at a place in your life where you'd just like to find someone who you can be yourself around, doesn't play games, can experience fun times with and enjoy the company of the kids also? Then you've come to the right place because that's what I want too!
I am a single parent of 3 kids, two of which still live at home. I am a down-to-earth, funny, outgoing person who enjoys the outdoors; hiking, biking, and camping. I'm happy in the mountains and even more so, at the beach! Traveling is one of my favorite things to do, even if it's just getting in the car on a Sunday and taking a drive. Don't get me wrong, I have a list of places I'd like to see in the U.S. and abroad. I lived in Canada for 2 different years and have backpacked in the Alps.
I value my friendships a lot and enjoy getting together for dinner and/or playing games. Live theater is enjoyable, especially if it has singing and dancing!
Besides all the time spent with kids and friends, spending quiet time with my significant other is a must! I know that I want someone who is honest, compassionate, communicates, loves to laugh, enjoys a good conversation and has a lot of integrity. I am attracted to fun, funny, ambitious people who love a good time, but don't mind hard work also. Spending time in the outdoors is a must! I love being romantic and having the same bestowed on me. I am an independent person, but I love having someone to spoil and vice versa!
When I want some quiet time, I love reading or playing my guitar. Cooking is one of my favorites, especially with someone who enjoys it also. My kids and I love dogs and will be replacing the ones we lost this year with new companions soon.
I'd love to get to know you if what you've read sounds interesting to you.
