Date women from United States / California / Turlock, 54 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm a very friendly person -- outgoing and truly like meeting new people. I love rivers and often go to Knights Ferry just to walk. Music is a big part of my life and I enjoy seeing it live as often as possible. I volunteer at a local non-profit theatre that puts on live music so they can finance community plays. Wonderful people, community-minded, welcoming and dedicated.
I live a simple life and would like to keep it that way. I'm honest and I don't dink around and I appreciate that in others, too. I wear my heart on my sleeve and I don't play coy or strategic mind games. If I want something, I ask for it, and I hope the man in my life will do the same. Guessing games and non-verbal cues are tiresome and can be destructive.
I would like to meet someone who enjoys being outside. Someone I can talk to -- who isn't afraid to exchange ideas and venture an opinion, even if he thinks it might not align with mine -- I'm not afraid to change my opinion or concede a point; I appreciate someone who can introduce a new concept to me. I'm looking for someone with a good sense of humor, who laughs easily. You should be okay with bluegrass and Americana music (and I'll be okay with whatever you like, as long as it's not lyrically demeaning or abusive). I also love smokin' hot blues, which I think is the most sensual music there is.
Physical attraction is the most important thing, obviously, but you just can't gauge that until you make eye contact.
If you're on this website, you're looking for something or somebody. I hope you find it.

My job is in public service and making a difference in people's life is very gratifying. I am a good looking petite woman with a serious and seriously funny side. I enjoy everything from theater to camping, listening and dancing to oldies, R& B and Country. I can enjoy a good meal at a hole in the wall or nice resturant.
