Date men from United States / California / Tulare, 40 year old

Date someone special from Tulare, United States. I now live in Fresno. Just cant find a way to edit that. I am looking for someone who is intelligent, cute, laid-back, and has a heart of gold. She should be kind, affectionate, thoughtful, goofy, and sincere. I also value loyalty, spontaneity, and a love for children. I'd like my partner to be adventurous, capable, outgoing, and articulate. It would be great to find someone who could be my best friend and lover. You will get bonus points if you have a "glass half full" philosophy. Physically, I am most selective about my partner's smile. I have a few non-negotiables: I would never consider dating someone who has a problem with alcohol or drugs. After reading this, you may think that I am looking for perfection. Not really. However, I want a partner who has as much to offer as I do. If you think we might hit it off stop by and say hello.

Meet a man from Tulare, United States. I am active in my parish community; God is a big part of my life. I attend faithfully and listen to Catholic radio on the way home from work. I hope to meet a woman with good Christian values.
I am divorced with one daughter. She's with me 1/2 time. We live on a nice street with some of the best neighbors (very lucky).
I believe that a man should be strong, yet can be tender. I believe in courtesy, being a gentleman, and chivalry. Men should treat women with respect and act in a way that they earn respect. I will treat you with more respect and care than anyone else.
I would love to meet a woman who is tender, sweet, compassionate... happy with who she is and happy even in the daily struggles of LIFE. When it really comes down to basics, I could be happy doing the things I already enjoy doing or doing new things or combining chocolate and peanut butter... there has got to be a love there, fueled by passion for another and for others. Honesty, faith, and energy.
