Date women from United States / California / Santa Maria, 50 year old

Date a woman from United States. I have recently learned a lesson late in life and that is to truly live life to the fullest because each day is a gift. Honesty is important and would just like to get out and make new friends. I would love to meet someone who makes exercise a priority as I have just begun to do myself.

Meet someone special from United States. Chemistry is very important to me as I feel without it romance can be quite difficult. I am honest, direct, respectful, trustworthy, loyal and have a strong sense of integrity and character so I expect the same in all my relationships. I'm looking for someone I can feel secure with and whom I can enjoy exploring life with. I like men who are spontaneous, confident, responsible and old fashion in a lot of good ways, and who know how to treat women well. My perfect mate would be emotionally and spiritually balanced, honest, mature, respectful, sensitive, trustworthy, compassionate, reliable, a good listener, sexy and funny. My partner in crime enjoys a challenge, is a hard worker and has the understanding and firm conviction that one must work hard in order to enjoy the pleasures that life has to offer. IРІР‚в„ўm looking forward to a relationship thatРІР‚в„ўs simple, fun, exciting and not complicated (not into games). One where my heart skips a beat every time I think about him and definitely every time I see him. I like men who like to go to concerts or streets fairs etc, men who don't have a problem hanging out in big crowds. I walk anywhere from 1-3 miles daily with my dogs. I try to do some form of physical activity at least 3-4 times a week. I just recently started attending yoga and pilates classes and working my way up to 4-5 times a week. I'm also incorporating aquatics into my workout plan and of course strength training. I'm getting used to not working as I recently retired so now I have time to do some things I like to do without getting all stressed out about not having enough time to do them. I also enjoy hiking except I cannot go down steep hills as I previously had knee surgery and it really hurts going down steep hills. I'm very social and since I have a big smile and a twinkle in my eyes that can light up a room. I enjoy cooking and am pretty good at it. I studied interior design so I really have an eye for decorating from homes to event venues and like to help friends with ideas and have actually decorated some of their homes. I am very open minded and always try see every situation from both sides so I can be fair, understanding and level-headed. I'm considered very honest, frank, direct and easy going cool. I strive to have all the same qualities and more that I mentioned above in my desires for for a mate. I am a deeply spiritual person and live my life as an example to my faith by showing wisdom in my actions, acceptance, knowledge and understanding.
