Date men and women from United States / California / Upland, 39 year old

Date someone special from Upland, United States. I am looking for someone who can make me happy, be a friend, someone I can enjoy life with. They have to love children, my Daughters are very important to me. There happiness iis just as important as mine. Its been so long since I was able to be myself and be really happy.
I believe that my perfect match is someone that is also my best friend. I want to meet someone that is fun-loving, honest, genuine, ambitious and kind. I believe that laughter is extremely important in any type of relationship. I believe that healthy relationships are well-balanced and based upon mutual respect and understanding.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling, watching and playing sports, hiking, volunteering, and spending time with my family and friends.

Meet people from Upland, United States. I have been told that I am very sweet, sexy, fun, romantic, good humored and good natured with a big heart. I am a very compassionate, optimistic, thoughtful, kind & honest person. These are attributes I look forward to finding in my match.
I can find laughter in the minutiae of life, and I adore a great sense of humor in an individual. I have a very sharp and witty sense of humor. Oh and yes, I can laugh at myself!
From years working in the film industry I am familiar with the L.A. area, West L.A., Pasadena, O.C. and surrounding beaches, as well as, Temecula & parts of San Diego.
I love to spend time with my family & friends, reading, volunteering, traveling, going to the beach, cooking, going to the movies, art galleries, museums, zoos, comedy clubs, nights in watching Netflix, etc. I can pretty much have a good time almost anywhere with the right person.
My perfect match is secure, smart, fun, romantic, HONEST, not into games, & likes to travel. Lastly, a big PLUS if he loves animals, believes in tithing and cares about the planet. Hemp clothing is not required. Style is more than sufficient. I am also looking for someone who finds cleanliness important. If not, you'll drive me nuts with your socks lying around and I will drive you nuts with all the cleaning I do! I think it goes without saying; the toilet seat must go back down!
I am new to this manner of meeting guys. I am trying to balance what "I'm looking for" with what does not sound reminiscent of a laundry list. Also, one only truly gets to know someone by a few exchanged texts, talking and maybe then on a one-to-one basis.
I know my limitations and what I have to offer a person. I am an articulate, well educated, intelligent individual with a good spirit. I am a good person and am not looking for anything I am not offering in return. I am a very maternal individual even though I do not have children of my own. This explains years of helping raise my nephews, babysitting and more years volunteering with disadvantaged children. So, if you have children that is fine with me.
Ultimately, I feel that honesty, respect for one another, compromise and friendship are paramount to a lasting, fun, passionate and exciting long- term relationship.
Luck in love to all!
A few notes: I am 43, despite being told I look much younger, I simply needed to try limiting messaging from men much older than me. There is no deception meant behind this, just tweaking of my profile. I have always been in relationships with men my age or a FEW years younger than myself. Also, the pictures with long hair are current.

I like to get in my car and randomly drive around looking at new locations. I have a horrible sense of direction, so as I tell my children, "We are not lost, We are taking the Scenic Route".
Did I mention I love great conversations? I like to read and learn new things all the time. I love fairy tales by the Brother's Grimm and Hans Christen Anderson. I am fascinated with the stories and legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
