Date women from United States / California / Thousand Oaks, 57 year old

Date someone special from Thousand Oaks, United States. Hi! Like so many things in life, I'll know when the right person comes along, starting with Friendship. It would be great to find my "soul mate" but I also know that great relationships come in many packages. Our values and life goals should match, with humor and kindness and honesty as a foundation. Even if our interests don't match it's ok so long as we don't force the other to go outside of their comfort zone.
Although I'm feminine in appearance I'm most comfortable wearing jeans, a Tshirt and nice western style shirt, and my boots; You'll never see me in a skirt or dress.
I'm self-employed. I'm a family law mediator and family law coach. My work focuses on settlement, negotiation, mediation and coaching people who have legal problems in their marriages and with their children. My goal is to help people stay out of court and where there are children involved my focus is always child-centered. I really focus more on the "counselor" part of
Counselor at Law.
Sorry but I'm not interested in the following in a personal relationship: alcoholism or drug addiction (recovering or not), financial irresponsibility, infidelity, long-distance relationships, still-present ex's unless it's part of a joint-custody arrangement concerning children. I am not much of a long-distance traveler (day trips are great!) and I'm not very athletic with things like skiing, boating, camping and hiking. But I do like day- trips, theater, antique shopping, looking at architecture, museums, movies, horse shows, reading, watching news and documentary/scientific/historical programs. I'm passionate about my love for my miniature horses and hope you like them, too. I don't ride horses which is why mine are all miniatures. I'm really more of a city girl living in a country-like setting. I'm looking for someone who is intelligent, sensitive, has emotional intelligence in dealing with others, is self-supporting, not raising small children, has good sense of humor, is mentally healthy, reasonably physically healthy. It important to me to get to know eachother over time. I'm looking for that elusive "chemistry" that you only feel when talking and meeting each other -- it's
really a mental thing I think!
Meeting to talk over coffee or a bowl of soup sounds like a great way to get to know each other. I DO ask a lot of questions, but I also give a lot of answers! I live in Ventura County (Thousand Oaks/Westlake Village area) so ideally it would be great if we live no more than an hour away from eachother.
Warmest wishes,
(Lynne)

Meet a woman from Thousand Oaks, United States. In our “Age of Artificiality” I’m searching for a partner that feels like home.
Words that my closest friends would use to best describe me are authentic, intuitive, witty, unique sense of humor, loving, intelligent, affectionate, classy, a deep spiritual side, adventurous, caring, and loyal.
My ideal partner is romantic, passionate, chivalrous, compassionate, has a wonderful sense of humor, can carry on an intelligent conversation, is self confident, enjoys sharing his interests, a man of character and integrity, he can be silly, fun loving, and spontaneous. I can see humor in almost any situation so it is important to be able to laugh at ourselves, especially when I sometimes forget where I parked at the mall or when I use my right hand turn signal, and mysteriously the windshield wipers go on!
I love music so a concert or club would be a great date. My musical tastes ranges from rock, jazz, classical, and country and I still get chills when I hear the Beatles. I have the Fab Four's autographs framed on one sheet of paper. My house was filled with Frank Sinatra music growing up since my dad played his songs in the evenings so I have a great appreciation for all types of music including Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald. and the Big Band era. One of my my favorite songs is "Someone To Watch Over Me" by George Gershwin.
Or, there’s always the simple pleasure of just putting together a nice home cooked “gourmet” meal, by candle light of course, cuddling on the couch and watching a Netflix,(Romantic comedy, Sci Fiction, Marx Bros,The Three Stooges, Suspense Thrillers, Fantasy etc) or just taking a scenic drive, or a long casual walk together.
I am looking for someone who inspires the best qualities in me and I will inspire the best in him. Best of all, I will provide a listening ear, a tender heart, affection, and a safe place where we can share in lifeРІР‚в„ўs journey and adventures together.
ThereРІР‚в„ўs No Place Like Home.
