Date women from United States / California / Ventura, 66 year old

Date someone special from Ventura, United States. I treasure my privacy and naturally, It’s tough for me to expose myself to the judgment of strangers. I’ve tried the monastic way for many years and have realized that I am not a hermit, that days could be brighter if I could find “that special somebody.” So, I’m giving this my best shot.
Who am I? Physically, a petite, trim and fit, elegant and still attractive, somewhat exotic young-looking mature lady. A healthy lifestyle, daily exercise, positive thinking, little make up are apparent in my light brown, unblemished skin. My almond shaped eyes are bright and IРІР‚в„ўve been told that my full lips are ... pretty... pretty sexy?
Intellectually IРІР‚в„ўm a perpetual seeker of answers to the mysteries that surround us. Reading and research are great tools to decode some of those mysteries, and thank God for google and wikipedia!
My soul is young and at the same time, wiser. I have made my fair share of mistakes but am always trying to learn from them, and also, to forgive myself and others. The last few years have been really tough; a bad marriage was devastating and when I managed to free myself, I promissed to learn to live alone. The result? IРІР‚в„ўm a social entity and I need affection, a tender touch, passion. I yearn to dress up for a special person and to relish happy moments of kindness, tenderness and mutual respect. To feel that there is somebody who thinks about me -- and for me to think about him lovingly. To enjoy a walk holding hands, laughing, sharing a meal... ordinary things turned extraordinary because a mutual harmony makes such moments special.
What have I done with my life, other than making mistakes? IРІР‚в„ўve taught languages, literature, film and continue to do so. Sometimes an ex-student makes my day by telling me that I was a terrific influence in his/her life. To facilitate my teaching, IРІР‚в„ўve authored books, I have lectured extensively to teachers throughout California and have attempted to become a positive role model. In my golden years I surprise people with my ability to keep my sense of humor, optimism and to be in reasonably good shape by teaching fitness and dance aerobics and simply by having a very young attitude towards life.
Have also been a globe trotter. And if “he” wants a multi-lingual guide with an uncanny ability to find the best bakeries, well, here I am!
Some of my best qualities are: I’m not a gold-digger and have no respect for people who are “users” of others. Kindness, directness, acceptance, honesty and a bright outlook on life, laughing, smiling are part of my philosophy.
About him: Pluses: politeness, compassion, self-reliance and a kind, non-judgemental attitude. Cleanliness, good taste in attire; a great sense of humor, work ethics, willingness to compromise and experience new things (perhaps even dancing a little?) and the ability to laugh at oneself. If heРІР‚в„ўs handy around the house, heРІР‚в„ўll get superb dinners.
Minuses: a person who is in a terrible financial mess, substance abuser, violent, intolerant, free-loader, mean-spirited, couch potato... you get my drift. And definitely married guys who pass themselves as single should go to a different match site.

Meet a soulmate from Ventura, United States. Am a practical, down-to-earth, easy-going, flexible and honest person, but would like to be pampered with surprises as well. I enjoy doing/teaching liturgical dances. Though am getting up in years, am still limber and in shape enough to do it.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am very enthusiastic about life, and hate to waste a precious moment. I realized long ago that I always have to be somewhere, so I may as well enjoy it. That is so easy to do once I discovered what I like and surround myself with it. Music while stuck in freeway traffic, reading a good book or learning something new about my computer while stuck on an airplane - you get the idea. I have traveled extensively, and would love to share more travel experiences with the right person. I do not like camping or fishing, but I love beautiful scenery as long as I can view it in comfort. Good grooming, attention to clothing and self-esteem are very important attributes. I like people who want the finest of everything and are willing to work for it and understand that some people do not have the same standards. I allow my friends the dignity to be who they are, without restraints, but demand the same in return. I believe that family and unconditional love are the basis of a strong person. My family is important to me, although they are many miles away, and I would love to be accepted as a part of a new family, too! (Especially at holiday times!)
