Date women from United States / California / Santa Cruz, 52 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am looking for a nice man, to enjoy my family with. It would be good to go to dinners and spend time at the beach, and traveling to new places. I live in the country and like to ride horses.
I like to be treated like a lady, and like to treat my friends well, also

Meet a woman from California, United States. I'm looking for someone to hang out and do fun things with, and if it leads so something more, then great!
I enjoy traveling, beaching, reading, saling, hiking, camping, cooking, movies, dining out, good food, good wine, and just hanging out with family and friends. I love all types of music and love going to concerts and festivals, particularly those involving wine, food, and/or music. (That pretty much describes them all, doesn't it?) I love weekend trips to Napa, Big Sur, Monterey, the California Coast...anywhere is fine. Although I love where I live, getting out of town and exploring new places is always an exciting adventure for me. There are many parts of California as well as this great big world that I have yet to see.
I'm described as polite, sincere, very attractive, generous, sweet, positive, smart, calm, a good listener, and fun-loving by my friends. I'm told I look much younger than my age, and I like to think it's a result of taking care of myself. I value my friends and family and I hope you do to.
I'm not looking for Mr. perfect, but would like to find someone with at least a few similar likes and/or interests. I'm not into drama or games...If that's your M.O, you need not apply. I love a man who doesn't take himself too seriously, knows how to laugh and act goofy at times, and finds humor in the silliest of things. I can be pretty silly myself at times, so you have to be able to put up with it as well. I'm not attracted to people who are unnecessarily uptight and overly serious and generally find myself steering away from them. I completely understand the importance of letting you spend time with your buddies.
I'm looking for friendship that could lead to a committed relationship. I was with my ex husband for over 20 years and miss the closeness and intimacy of having a special person in my life...the one person who is the center of your universe. I look forward to having that again.
I have much to be thankful for, and I don't take anything for granted.
I'm not quite ready to post a pic of myself....I'm new at this and need to get used to the idea, but I will gladly email a pic or 2! (nothing to hide) I've heard that people on dating sites don't always tell the truth about themselves. Rest assured, everything I say here is true. What's the point in getting a relationship off to a bad start because you can't tell the truth?

Date someone special from California, United States. I am a smart, patient person, I never want to reftire. I've started graduate school in Chinese Medicine so that I can open my own acupuncture practice. I am looking for someone who values alternative medicine and would enjoy the path I'm on. I am sharing, forgiving and generous. You will be a happy, caring person, with little baggage looking for your life partner. You also love to travel and value other's opinions and insights. You must see the bigger picture of life. I hope that you have a large happy family too!
