Date women from United States / California / Ventura, 56 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am finally going to write something about myself and am finding it a little difficult. I am just going to start and let it flow out however it comes. Here it goes: Most people would guess my age in the early forties. The photos are current except the one with my daughter was about three years ago May 2009.
I was married for 14 years and divorced in 1992. No regrets from the marriage. Just grew in different directions and have two amazing, successful adult children. I then got into a 14 year relationship with a great partner, companion, lover. He passed away May of 2011. After much grief and personal reflection, I am ready and excited about moving on in life.
My family and friends would describe me as kind, attractive, funny, sensitive, free spirited, independent.
Laughter is such good medicine. I like to do it often. It's nice to meet people that generate good energy.
I have been going to Yoga classes regularly for the past 6 months and want to continue for life. Dancing has also been a love of mine. I would like to do more. I also enjoy, walking, bike riding, hiking, and swimming.
Music is big on my list of "loves". All types, old 50's, 60's to today's new music. Some bands that stand out in my playlist: Crosby, Stills, Nash, Neil Young, Eddie Veder, Tom Petty, Jimi Hendrix, Alternative, Reggae, Soul and Mowtown, Salsa and much much more. This is in no particular order. Chili Peppers, White Stripes, Amy Winehouse, I don't know when to stop. Music is just way up there on the feel good scale.
I like all types of food and enjoy eating healthy most of the time. Would love to travel more. I love the beach (live on the beach), mountains especially Yosemite, desert and the city.
Looking for someone with some similar interest and I also enjoy learning about new things. Ideally, it would be great to find a person to share and enjoy life with and have each others back and all that goes with that.
Well, there's much more to write about, but I don't want to go on and on. Let's just connect, talk a bit and see if things flow on a natural, comfortable level.

I am kind-hearted, physically fit and active, intelligent, good-natured, an optimist, sensual, loyal to a fault, absolutely love to spend time outdoors with my horses and dogs, hiking and running (jogging), downhill skiing, camping, scuba diving, and so much more. Family and good friends are a top priority along with my love of all animals (horses and dogs are at the top of the list) and nature. IРІР‚в„ўm an avid reader, love to cook (IРІР‚в„ўm a good cook) and enjoy getting together with friends, really love music (and dancing to Country and Blues Swing), work-out regularly to remain strong and healthy, and have a very good profession.

Meet a woman from Ventura, United States. I would like to meet someone sincere. Seems rather difficult to find these days. I don't want to be contacted by anyone looking for a quick sexual encounter in any format...verbal, visual...you know who you are. I'd love to meet a man with a motorcycle that likes to ride to random places on the weekends. I appreciate all of the old-fashioned manners and mutual respect of days gone by. I don't like to play games and I abhor dishonesty! Being truthful is what builds trust. Without trust there is nothing. I love to snuggle and PDA to a certain extent. I love men with long hair. I enjoy a good sense of humor and the ability to laugh at yourself.

Liberal and open minded. Well educated, intelligent and able to converse about many subjects. He is adventurous and not afraid to be spontaneous. Well liked and sociable.

Meet someone special from United States. My mind meanders through my traveled curvy, sandy, rainy, sunny roads so I can give you a better idea of me!!! you will be a companion for the next 45 years of life to live, to share fun times, looking to a new adventure every day. I know IT TAKES a LONG TIME to do the right thing. Getting ready for my next 45 years, I intend to go for a dance in the Golden Gate when I turn 100. For now, in preparation : eat well, do yoga 4-5 days, dance Zumba 3 days a week. Finding friends and other activities now that parenting is over and career is well. Travel a lot right now, but looking for less work related travel and more fun related one. Weekend trips seem glorious right now, love experimenting with new cooking ideas, not vegetarian but eating less red meat unless in Buenos Aires or Sao Paulo, then a red vino washes it away. Prefer seafood, and veggies, but not a picky eater. Just trying to lead a healthier life to be in great shape at 100. Non smoker, really is important for me. I prefer you don't smoke , an irregular cigar or whatever is OK, I can't deal with a chain smoker. You see I love kissing and chain smokers are not as attractive. In the subject, holding hands and giving me the right attention when Im with you is the best thign you can do to make me feel special. If you have wandering eyes and need eye candy, then let me know that you just want to be BFF. There is plenty of attractive people, I see them too and despite, i will make sure that if I'm with you ,they'll not caught my glaring attention. Having fun, laughing and finding little romantic details , spontaneous will just surface my inner sexy lady. PDA is good as long as not offensive, But all said and done, just make it light if I find it too uptight. Ha, there are still more words to put here... shh, hear the waves going and coming.. time to go for a walk on the beach.

Date a woman from United States. I am a fun person who enjoys walking on the beach or hiking in the hills each morning with my dog Taffy. In the early evening, you can find us at the park watching the sunset over the islands off the Ventura coast. I'm so grateful to live near the coastline in southern Cal!
In the past two years, I've been involved with remodeling my house so my social life outside of that has been rather limited.
So now I'm ready to meet a man who lives a healthy lifestyle and enjoys weekend trips and overseas travel. I have been fortunate enough to visit many foreign countries and would like to meet someone who has done the same and appreciates new places and different cultures.
I love to read, but I must confess that I have some favorite TV shows too.
My type of man is someone who values a good relationship with the right person and is looking for a long-term commitment, leading to marriage. I envision a fun and comfortable friendship first and see what happens!
Favorite Things --
A warm fireplace on a rainy night...a new recipe that turns out delicious!...the excitement of going on vacation...my dog playing at the beach or park...chocolate...lattes...sushi...music...sensua
lity...scented candles...jacuzzis...just feeling alive and healthy!

. Thanks for taking a moment to view my profile...
I'm fortunate to have a wonderful family and great friendships and it's time to add a great romance to the mix. Life and work have kept me busy, and time has passed much too quickly, which is why I'm here on Match. I'm ready to grow old with someone I adore, holding hands as we stumble not too gracefully through our 'golden years'. I'd love my next relationship to be my last.
I'm passionate about gardening and architecture. I can make anything grow and love getting my hands dirty. I'm fond of all forms of design from landscape to interiors ... it's possible that I'm addicted to home improvement and therefore impressed by a well organized garage. You should enjoy fresh food and cooking, something other than bbq would be a plus. My idea of a great meal begins at the farmers market - shopping and cooking together with or for family and friends. After all, the best times are spent doing things you'll never remember with people you'll never forget.
I have a great pound hound although he requires more maintenance than I do, so if you love dogs all the better I'm pretty environmental, try to be a good steward of the earth and appreciate each day. I avoid all drama and am drawn to people who value truth and respect. I'm impressed with who you are more than what you have. I'm emotionally available and feel that the right partner allows a person to be the very best of who you are while nurturing the one you love.
And so.... I'm here on match.com because my time is valuable and I understand yours is too. I've been divorced for 26 years and raised three wonderful kids who are accomplished and doing great things with their lives. Now it's my time.

. Looking to meet someone to share common interests with and develop a long term relationship with. I am grateful for my children, 1 who is still at home while she continues her education. I'm a family orientated gal who likes to enjoy life.

. I believe that life is a gift and an awesome journey. So far so good, and much more to come! I would love to meet a loving & compatible companion to share the adventure & discovery of it all. There are many wonders in the world to explore. And some are right here in our backyard. I love to work and play, laugh and cry, enjoy random surprises & accept what is, be outdoors, listen, share, celebrate and appreciate. Life is too short to be too serious. Each moment is a special one. Let's give thanks & play!
