Date women from United States / California / Santa Rosa, 72 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. My wish is to develop a healthy, fun-loving friendship with a guy who has similar values and some common interests. Besides being honest and caring, I would expect him to share his feelings, and engage in discussions both personal and about global issues. I treasure family and current friendships and I would hope he does as well. My life has been rich and rewarding. I cannot count the ways. Born in the Midwest, I moved to San Francisco at 21 as Bob Dylan moved to NYC. I recall the Flower Children in the Haight and later the Vietnam war protests. Then, I listened to Joan Baez and Peter, Paul, and Mary. Snow skiing was a favorite activity. At the same time, I pursued my college education, taught at UCSF, and later moved to Boston. I loved New England, but my heart was in San Francisco. So, once I completed a 2nd career in Boston, I soon returned to Northern CA where I also raised my lovely daughter. Although healthy, I now have less interest working full-time, but enjoy part-time work in my private counseling practice. More free time has meant learning to play bridge, taking an opera class (surprizingly enjoyable), and becoming a better amateur painter. More importantly, it means finding someone special to truly share these "Golden Years."

Meet someone special from California, United States. This is the hard part. Talking about me without sounding conceited. I've told you about all of my favorites and answered all of the questions posed to me. So I feel like you know me. What don't you know? I'm a lady who is looking to enjoy the rest of her life. A cancer survivor who is seeing life through some new glasses. I still work hard (4 days a week) and am ready to start playing hard, too. I don't like the prospect of playing alone and would love to find someone who would like to spend some time exploring the world. This person would be strong and healthy, yet have a soft heart, like me. He would love dogs, especially my chihuahua. He would prefer a cup of coffee to a glass of champagne. He has to have a good sense of humor. I have a good sense of humor. Playful? A must. Rich? I don't think so. I don't do opera. I'm a blue jeans kind of girl, but I clean up real nice when the need arises. This man would also like to spend quiet time cuddling in front of the tv or just sitting and talking.
