Date women from United States / California / Salinas, 37 year old

Date a woman from United States. To know me is to love me, its true. I am a kind, open minded, passionate,honest,outspoken, and imperfect. There is a lot I am learning about myself as I get older and expose myself to new experiences. I am a mother first, my children are everything to me, then my faith if I had a great mate he would be here in this order,my family, my friends,my education, aspirations and dreams, and my work. I am trying to get to my goal weight and get healthy. My ideal partner is not shallow, enjoys most of the things I like but can respect differences. Is affectionate and expresses himself intimately in words and actions. Communication is so important I am not a mind reader. Machismo doesn't work with me. I think a man should be a man and have his place but sees a woman as his equal in many respects. Space is healthy if you don't like the opera that's OK I can go with friends and if I don't want to go to a basketball game have fun without me. Just an example. Respect, communication, and honesty very important.
