Date women from United States / California / Santee, 56 year old

Date someone special from Santee, United States. I'm an active, intelligent, and affectionate woman who is always up for a new experience. I like to smile and my friends would tell you that I’m cute, funny, and am very easy to get along with. I have an open-minded, calm nature and little things don't bother me much. I’m intolerant of only a few things – prejudice in any form, and a closed mind.
I’m looking for a great friend to play and explore the whole world with; someone who can laugh, and love and be spontaneous. I want a genuine nice guy with a funny/irreverent sense of humor and an easy-going positive attitude...one who is smart, honest, and is willing to share – what he loves, what he feels, and what he wants.
I am looking for a long term relationship ultimately but would be happy to make new friends along the way. I still believe in feeling butterflies and magic when in love and am looking for someone quite special who will capture my heart and make me smile when I see him. Someone with whom I can share quiet conversations, adventures, and a great romance.
I am young at heart, (can't believe I'm in my 50's!), playful, and potentially flirtatious though I am sometimes a little shy at first. IРІР‚в„ўm very open and honest and will tell you how I feel and why I feel that way. In others I look to their heart, character, vibrancy, and humor.
IРІР‚в„ўve been told that IРІР‚в„ўm easy to talk to. People do seem to open up to me. IРІР‚в„ўm not sure why, but my guess is simply that I listen fairly intuitively and am genuinely interested in others. Maybe too because IРІР‚в„ўm open about myself, both my attributes and my short-comings. You can count on me to be responsible and quick to apologize if I mess up. IРІР‚в„ўm not interested in conflict or excess drama. IРІР‚в„ўm looking to find a friend and lover who has the experience to know that communication is what makes a successful relationship work.
I like to walk and am a hiker who loves to get out of the city and be in natural surroundings. I like almost all music and enjoy dancing. I've taken some swing dance lessons and am enjoying learning to jitterbug. I am happiest when outside in the sun with a special partner. Give me an interesting discussion while walking along the beach or in a quiet, intimate restaurant sharing a wonderful meal and some good wine, and IРІР‚в„ўm a happy camper.
So itРІР‚в„ўs up to you, gentlemen. I'm always open to meeting new friends, but bottom line, I'm a one-man woman, and IРІР‚в„ўm here on Match looking for my best friend and last love.
I will answer all thoughtful emails, but I donРІР‚в„ўt always respond to winks. My photos are within the last year and my main photo was taken this March.

Meet a woman from Santee, United States. I am a easy going, fun loving classic women, who trys to live life to its fullest and who enjoys staying active. I try to find the best in everyone and am very easy to get along with. I love to dance, bike ride, go camping in my RV, hang out with good friends, cuddle up on the couch and watch a great movie, take a walk on the beach, have a beer and play pool while listening to my favorite music on the juttebox at my local bar, love to go to baseball or football games, I love animals also, these are a few of my favorite things....
Let me first say, I am looking for a partner/relationship. Some one who enjoys some of the same things I do. Someone I can call my friend, lover, and man! I want someone that has a life and friends also, NOT totally dependent on me for your happiness in life. I am a very affectionate person and love to show how much I care for someone, even in public!! I would want the same in return.
I hope to find someone with a great sense of humor and who love to laugh and have fun and don't take life to serious.
