Date women from United States / California / Venice, 59 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. For starters, the arts are a big part of my life. I enjoy my work at a museum in a dynamic educational environment but I miss having a loving and committed partner to share time and experiences. NPR, the newspaper, and good coffee ease me into most mornings. I like to cook (especially California fresh) and try new recipes, watch movies, read good fiction, and listen to music. Quiet relaxation is also a treat. I enjoy cultural activities and the rich menu of theater, dance, and music in LA. I also love to try new restaurants and explore cuisines, discover new places, shop, and travel the world. I only wish there was more time! Nearly all these things are more fun when done together, especially with someone I really care about. I would describe myself as warm, playful, smart, and creative with a distinctive sense of style.
IРІР‚в„ўm Looking For:
A man who might describe himself as any or all of the following: open, curious, creative/artistic, adventurous, intelligent, fun-loving, thoughtful, sensitive (and attractive doesn't hurt!). I seek someone who values friendship, honesty, and trust, and believes in romance and love, as do I. There may be no single recipe for this—but you know it and feel it when it works.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Hi, and thanks for taking the time to read my profile. I'm fairly outgoing, with a quick dry wit. I enjoy bantering as well as crummy puns. I am open, fun, and affectionate (love to hug, kiss, hold hands and snuggle with someone special), and perhaps most importantly, I am monogamous.
I'm usually on an even keel emotionally and appreciate that in a man also. While I do enjoy fine dining, I am basically very down to earth/unpretentious.
My interests are varied and include movies, dining out, dogs and cats, long walks, swimming, aquajogging, getaways, friends, music ranging from classical to folk to rock, just about anything but rap or big band. Anything is fun with the right company.
Please be reasonably fit and healthy, divorced or widowed, considerate of others, fun to be with; have adult kids so we can better relate, and/or enjoy kids. My 2 sons are grown and on their own with families.
Hopefully we have some similar interests (and some different of course), definitely comparable values. If you think we might be a potential match, I'd enjoy hearing from you. pet lovers are a definite plus.
Hope to talk with you soon!
