Date women from United States / California / Valley Center, 66 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I like good-humored, positive people. My friends would say that I'm easy-going, gentle, considerate, who loves people. They know me to interject humor into the conversation. I'm easy to talk to, a good listener and a strong leader. I am independent, but prefer being with someone. Exercise and healthy eating are essential in my life. I've enjoyed a lot in my life from owning horses, training my colt, Sterling,(I love horses, no longer have them), the rodeo, the Indy 500, skiing in Utah(I like skiing), sailing/swimming(owned sailboat in San Diego) and travelling(I might be persuaded to do an archaeological dig in Israel(new pieces of ancient history being found). I've enjoyed living in the city(New York and Chicago), doing city life and currently, I'm enjoying my country roots(Indiana) living in the country, doing country life. I consider myself young-looking and a youthful mindset gives me a healthy, young attitude. I'm really "down-to-earth" in jeans and a ball cap at home. I also like to wear evening dress too. I don't need much makeup nor do I like it. So it doesn't take me long to get ready. I have flaws and have made mistakes, but both have afforded me some of the best laughs I've had on me and the chance to grow. I'm a romantic and I love receiving cards and flowers. In return, I like giving him little things to let him know that I'm thinking about him. When I hear a song like "What are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?", I dream of dancing close. I appreciate a gentleman and a gentle man. I like someone who communicates with his words and his heart. I like him in jeans and in a suit. I appreciate him taking care of himself physically and having a youthful outlook; and spiritually by seeking God in his life. It pleases me when he looks good. I like telling him that he's handsome. I like someone who both feels and shows his emotions. A definite plus is when he is affectionate. I like to feel his hand in the small of my back, leading me; "catching his eye" across the room; taking me by the hand-- all pluses with me.
For me, life's all about relationship. Without it, morning coffee is just to wake up rather than a time to share, a walk is more fun with two, a sunset memorable with two sharing it, ideas are for sharing, love...is....two sharing.
