Date women from United States / California / Tehachapi, 57 year old

Date someone special from Tehachapi, United States. I am looking for a life partner. I haven't tried the internet for a long time being more traditional and meeting men through friends and colleagues, etc. I enjoy intelligent conversation and am curious about many things in our daily lives as well as people. I truly love to people watch. We all have our interesting lives and stories.
I have an artist's heart. I am a classical singer and love all types of artistic expression.
As far as qualities in a partner, I would actually like both of us to have some of the following qualities:...strong respect for each other....faithful....kind.....sense of humor....introspective....happy.....helpful.......
thoughtful....clean....consistent......healthy....
.fit.....supportive......handy around the house.......positive.
Perhaps a blend of these qualities between us would offer an interesting union!
Please know that I am not tied to living in Tehachapi. I lived most of my adulthood closer into Los Angeles and would also consider other California locations.

Meet a soulmate from Tehachapi, United States. I am here hoping to find love, compassion, patience, kindness, trust and honesty. I am a person who is generous and giving. A great best friend, as said by my loyal and loving friends.(LOL) Love is something I am searching for and want, but find I am slow to give my heart away. I am not looking for any kind of sexual relationships but instead hope to find a great best friend, one that might deepen and grow over a period of time into a deeper sense of one-ness. I miss the strength you feel from that special someone as he gives you a hug when your having a bad day, or knowing he understands what you feel just from the look in his eyes, or from the gentleness of his touch when nothing seems to be working out the way you thought it would.
I have three grown children who are my life and they invite me to along to outings with them often. But its time for me to find the one I want to spend my time with. He should be kind, honest, respectful, not into the bar scene, a man with a christian background and good morals. Someone who wants a real relationship and is willing to take things slowly and let it grow into a life long master piece of life. One other bit of information I feel is important to put out there from the begining, I was injured many years ago which caused some issues that today result in my walking with a slight limp, as I wear a leg brace. I think its important to be honest from the start so as to filter out anyone who might have an issue with this. I don't want to invest time in someone who cannot see the exterior with acceptance and weigh the quality of soul with equal scales. I am quite capable of doing everything. (no high heels though) :)
I'm sure I could write alot more but if there is more you want to know drop me an email and I will respond, I promise.
