Date men from United States / California / Sonora, 46 year old

Date single man from Sonora, United States. Hi there, my name is Erik. I have been told by my women friends that I am a "sensitive new-age man", whatever that means. I am a guy who is comfortable in my own skin and don't need a monster truck or an assault weapon to feel like a man. I like to think that I am strong and assertive when I need to be, cool and easy going when I don't. I live by my principles of honesty, integrity, and respect. The people that I love and care about are what are most important in my life.
I am attracted to naturally beautiful women who look and feel beautiful without lots of makeup, fake nails, and beauty parlor hairdo's - you know, feminine but not too 'girly girl'; women who are intelligent, articulate, and think for themselves; women who pay attention to current events and have an opinion on what is happening in the world; women who love kids and understand their needs; women who are easy going and can make the best of whatever life throws at them; women who love to get outside and explore the world; and women who are romantic, sensual, and passionate about life and love.
To give fair warning, I am a father of three kids ages 9, 13, and 16. I would like to find a woman who loves kids and would enjoy being a part of their lives too, for the fun times as well as the challenges of parenting.
I don't hang out in bars or churches, I know I won't find what I am searching for in either place ;-) I am not consciously seeking out a serious relationship, those just happen when everything is just right. I guess what I am looking for to start with is something a little more casual, yet very exclusive....a best friend and lover who might somehow fit into my life and I into hers. If I get real lucky, maybe I'll find "the one" - the one who makes life come to life. I am ready should she come along :-)
