Date women from United States / California / Thousand Oaks, 46 year old

Date someone special from Thousand Oaks, United States. Welcome to my "kitchen".* If you just stopped by looking for a free sample of the soup of the day, sorry... too many cooks spoil the soup! ;) However, if you are earnestly searching for that one unique taste to suit your palate, then you might be in the right place. I offer something natural with no artificial flavors.** (May be served with hot salsa or sweet n' sassy sauce.)
You don't have to have culinary skills-- just a good, true heart and the right ingredients.
You will need:
Honesty
Responsibility
Loyalty
Dependability
Thoughtfulness
Affection
Unselfishness
A Sense of Humor
Intelligence
* I am not an actual chef; I just play one at home.
**Note: For best results with this recipe, it should be allowed to simmer slowly and gently over time, while stirring consistently.
...But seriously, I am a woman who offers these same qualities and is searching for a man who, like me, has strong family values, is politically liberal to moderate- and can balance a budget too; likes kiddies & kitties; is somewhat sporty but not a die-hard sports fanatic; is a non-smoker and occasional or non-drinker: a part-time homebody who also enjoys travel and nature; believes in God(or a higher being/sense of purpose in life) even if they don't attend religious services regularly; has an appreciation for the arts; with music taste ranging from Abba to Zeppelin (especially 60's,70's,80's rock, disco & alternative); and is looking for someone with potential for a long-term relationship. ...If this is a fairly accurate description of yourself, then I hope to hear from you.
[Some mutual attraction/chemistry is also important. I don't need a guy who looks like a movie star, but he has to have a certain "something"... I'm not sure exactly what that is, but I do know that I really like a nice smile & friendly eyes and I prefer a clean-shaven face & a tattooless body.]

Meet a woman from Thousand Oaks, United States. I consider myself to be a caring, thoughtful, loyal and honest woman. I value these traits in others, especially people I date. Integrity is everything. I feel just as comfortable dressing up or dressing down in jeans, t-shirt and a baseball hat. I would say I am very responsible in all aspects of my life, but with just the right amount of fun and "edge" mixed in.
I enjoy spending time with close friends and family. I stay physically active on a regular basis. I feel it is essential not only to my health and body, but to my mind. Cycling is my favorite hobby...I'd be lost without it, but this year I discovered a passion for running. Absolutely love doing multi-sport races. Come join me in the insanity!
Although I wasn't blessed to have children of my own, I am absolutely open to dating others with children. One of my greatest pleasures is spending time with my nieces and nephews; nothing like children to make you feel like you are one again. Such joy.
I enjoy being around people that make me laugh and make me think. A great wit and the ability to not take yourself or life too seriously is very attractive to me. While the physical attraction needs to be there, it isn't what sustains me in the long run. Make me laugh until I cry, hold my hand while we act years younger than we are, and I'm all yours. :)
