Date women from United States / California / Sherman Oaks, 58 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Hi. I have lived in different countries (Spain, Italy and England), but I've lived in Los Angeles the longest. Originally from east coast - Baltimore. I love to read the classics, love animals. I have a bit of an off the wall sense of humor and know how to create my own fun (and yours). I am well-traveled and well-read. If you are solid (fixed, inflexible), we would not be compatible, so pass me by. I am looking for someone who has old-fashioned values and lets a woman be a woman, and a man be a man. I love a meeting of the minds, which I think is called that "spark." But I like to learn too; I'm horribly inquisitive and you will get no end of questions about anything and everything. But you won't mind it. I would like an inquisitive person too, who is interested, not too involved in himself. I am absolutely unpretentious and have been told I am attractive. I look younger than my years. I like a person who may be involved in activities that involve giving to the community in any fashion; in other words, his horizons are a bit broader that most, and this includes artists, or anyone who gets satisfaction out of helping others in whatever manner. I like an international bent, but not imperative. This also means I have affinity for those from other lands. At heart, I'm a nature/country girl but also enjoy the city. I like style, and a little culture wouldn't hurt. I am interested in friends first and see where it goes. No casual daters; serious, long-term only. Could you be my Lancelot? I am 60, not 58, as my profile says. Gads, I've been looking for a while. Where are you?

Meet someone special from California, United States. Well, to be honest, IРІР‚в„ўm genuinely surprised to still be single, and I keep hoping that status will change. So until then, I'm still here, still looking, still hoping, and the glass is still half-full.
A little bit about me…I’ve been told I am a charismatic, compassionate, optimistic, high-energy person, who puts people at ease. I don’t judge and am a great listener. I am also very dedicated and passionate about everything I’m involved in, especially the people in my life. I am blessed with a beautiful daughter whom I love and adore. My family is very important to me, as are my friends who are my extended family. And I'm lucky enough to really love the people I work with. I’m loyal and empathetic. I root for the underdog and believe everyone has potential and promise. I really do, so in that respect, I’m a great cheerleader. I do love to laugh and to help people. I’m a nurturing, creative soul with a definite wacky, silly side too. I love to travel, to discover hidden unique places, like new restaurants perhaps hiding in plain sight in a strip mall, boutique wineries, art galleries, museums, and offbeat stores. Love movies, and music is vitally important in my life, can’t live without it. I love brainstorming ideas, inventing, writing and being part of any creative artistic endeavor. I also love to just chill and watch old movies or tv shows and cuddle. Yup. Big on cuddling and being affectionate. I am a hopeless romantic, or maybe I should say, a hopeful romantic.
Now on to work...I work in the Entertainment Industry and absolutely love it. I've been lucky enough to be able to reinvent myself through the years and consider myself so very blessed to still be in an industry I truly love, especially one that's ever-changing, and as I mentioned, I love the people I work with.
So what am I looking for in a guy? Aside from that initial spark I believe needs to be there, there must be trust and communication. Without trust and really being able to honestly communicate, you ain't got nothin'. Those two things are extremely high on my list of must haves...so is a really great sense of humor....being able to laugh in dark times is essential. The bottom line is that I'm really hoping to find a guy who makes my heart smile when I look at him or even think about him, and vice versa. A guy who can genuinely match my passion and enthusiasm for life. A guy whoРІР‚в„ўs got true integrity and has a great and easy sense of humor who can make me laugh. A guy who is creative and artistic, romantic, loving and loyal, and who believes in the importance of family. Again, trust and real communication are must haves. Without them, a relationship can't move forward or grow. I'm hoping to find a guy whoРІР‚в„ўs deeply confident in who he is without being self-absorbed or cocky, who cares about how he looks, but doesn't flaunt it, who can cry at a movie, and who isnРІР‚в„ўt afraid of real commitment. Hmmm. I know. That's a lot to hope for. Does he really exist? I have to believe he really does or I still wouldnРІР‚в„ўt be here.
Life is such an unpredictable, crazy ride and I know now, there are no guarantees,...but somewhere out there, is that one guy who can share this wild ride with me.
