Date women from United States / California / San Leandro, 51 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. My friends would describe me as being open-minded, intuitive, honest, dependable, have a good sense of humor and I never give up no matter how tough things get. I am looking for a man who is honest, willing to share his thoughts, feelings and beliefs as well as his struggles and dreams. I want a relationship in which both of us are partners in life, in which we respect and trust each other. Hopefully he is understanding, open-minded, has a good outlook on life and has a sense of humor. Basically, his cup is half full...

Meet someone special from California, United States. Because successful relationships within American culture have become such a task to maintain, yet, often requires a modicum of effort for me to establish and maintain social circles, I find it less difficult to establish mutual friendships within a social network such as Match.com, or any social circles I find myself engaged in. Because by nature, "I'm a Social Being," and as a result, such associations as I choose to refer, rather than friends, defines a person who is truthfully honest about themselves and is genuinely true to their character. So, I'll skip the formalities and just define my interests as...having journeyed both geographically throughout the West and Mid-West, and approaching a milestone in my adult life, I've found life and the people that exist within, in terms of my personal connections with them to be a near "cathartic" experience for me.
Having approached a milestone in my young life, Iv'e found it to be somewhat difficult to find a person who is truthfully honest about themselves, and is genuinely true to their character. Being a born motivator, I still look to be inspired by those who possess the right "fodder" of "encouragement to my own personal sphere of influence." So after years of encouraging from my beautiful daughter Melisa, I decided to create a facebook page in hopes of connecting with other friends who as I, personify a positive motivating source of enrichment with a desire for life and love extended to their lives as well. After relocating from Seattle, WA to the California East Bay area 2-yrs ago, however, I've found this geographical move to be a near "perfect" experience for me. I surround myself with same-minded people who value my individual uniqueness. I enjoy simple, yet random acts of kindness that only a "loving" relationship can bring.
I'm looking for that SWM who posseses an encouraging "sphere of influence", and who personifies a positive motivating source of enrichment within each of our lives." I'm an attractive, athletic, sexy professional, witty, youthful and enthusiastic divorced, relationship-ready, single black mom of 19-yr old college freshman :) "the beat of my heart!" I'm 5'5" tall with a 145-lb frame. I'm seeking a SWM between the age of 45-52 yrs age, with an equal desire for life, love and who is also relationship-ready and possesses an exclusive inter-racial interest in dating a (black woman) SBW with an interest in a LTR.
As a mature parent who's exuberant with a youthful spirit I've found my dating experiences to be far more rewarding when they didn't involve in-the-box or what's seemingly become commonplace in the dating world-Where people are confused by who everyone else says they should be dating?
Unfortunately, the most important thing that I've learned from my past serious inter-racial relationships is that some men, seemingly due to their past relationships either don't know who they are, or no longer know what it is they want in a genuine lasting relationship. I've found that this approach to dating is done either by dating repetition, or by some other innocuous form of confusion as to what an ideal woman really looks like? So they never pursue women of an opposite race. Who knows in doing so, some SWM may eventually be able to define who their ideal woman actually is. You may discover that she's a SBW...You're ideal woman could be me? ;)
