Date women from United States / California / Visalia, 58 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Joining Match today, my goal is to find first a friend, since I believe that a good solid foundation is important in a relationship. Would like to enjoy the process of getting to know someone and just have fun. I feel apprecitive of what God has given to me, and fortunate to have friends and famiily that I adore and have good relationships with. My attitude tends to be more on the positive outlook side of life. I am a pleaser type of personality, and a giver by nature. Traditional in my thinking, and very feminine in my actions and dress code.
My basic criteria for any relationship is that a person is of Christian faith, honest, kind sense of humor, compassionate toward others, stable, and someone with whom I would have commonalities. Would much appreciate someone that is good natured, down to earth and intelligent.
Just as a side note, I love the outdoors, doing anything active, including but not limited to: hiking, tennis, walking, or the driving range (no I don't play golf currently, but I have clubs, and I am teachable ) : )

Meet a woman from California, United States. I am a very happy person who loves her life. I see everything around me as an opportunity. What I know for sure is my life is this wonderful gift and I live it with amazing gratitude. I don't stay down for long. I have great faith and I know for sure that I am a blessed woman. I am ready to find fearless love. Life is too short and I want to live my life with someone who knows how to appreciate TODAY and who wants to be happy. Well, you might think, crazy lady, that's silly. Don't we all want to be happy? Not necessarily. I have found some people are just comfortable with status quo...or they remain in what they've known for so long because it's easier just talking about it like a victim, waiting for change to just appear and HAPPEN to them. We have all suffered disappointments in our lives...at least I think most of us have. The important part is how we choose recovery. To do so is to honor and appreciate the gift of this life. Every day is a new chance to make a new beginning and that to me is so cool. At my age I choose quality and I'm ready to go. I want great friendships that leave people knowing they matter.(I have many that go back over 40 years!) I want relationships that make people feel valued. I have no problem with telling people I care. I say the words and i smile big with my heart. We all don't say I love you enough anymore. Those are such amazing words. I don't hold on to anger and I am quick to forgive. Its a waste of emotion and i'd rather focus my passion on being happy. I don't want to be measured by someone's past hurts. If you're not ready, then don't go there. That's just not fair. We all deserve truth and to be happy. Yes even YOU! I won't have an electronic relationship. I think so much is lost in translation when you don't have the emotion of hearing the voice and feeling the touch...although text messages are fun as a playful flirt.
So, this is me, this is who I am......no fake, no moping, no pretending and certainly not perfect... I know, alot of "I wants" huh? Well, I guess this is where we're supposed to lay it out there....so fasten your seat belt....don't spill your wine...this could be one great ride!

Date someone special from California, United States. I'm a friendly, honest, caring woman looking for a wonderful man to have as a friend FIRST, then...who knows. I'm usually on the "taking" end of the camera so there are very few pis of me.
I'm just as comfy staying in a hotel as I am camping at the coast or on the mountains. Photography, organic gardening, sewing and reading are some of my passions. I love music, especially songs I grew up with so I can sing like crazy!
My dog is my best buddy and I have cats as well. I want a man who will love all of us. I volunteer as often a possible for several animal rescue groups as a spay/neuter advocate and a cat behavior specialist.
I'm looking for a gentleman who enjoys life with all of it's ups and downs and sideways. He should be funny and fun, but have a serious side, too. Respect for nature is imperative as is a genuine thankfulness to God for all that He as blessed us with in this life.
I have the honor of caring for my mom as we deal with the challenges of getting ready to "go home". This requires a lot of time and energy, but Mom and I both know how important it is for me to have time away. One of my brothers is available to give me a respite. I can almost always arrange to get away for coffee (or tea) and conversation.
My back has been broken (and repaired, thankfully) several times, so I have some physical limitations. No mountain climbing for me! Dancing around the house is always fun though, especially with a partner...I may not have great technique, but I make up for it with enthusiasm!

Meet a soulmate from United States. I'm a working girl during the week and looking for someone with a warm smile and a soft heart. Love to travel, weekend getaways, spur of the moment plans are always fun. I'm not a social club party scene person. I enjoy live concerts, sporting events, or quiet time at the beach or mountains. Exercise is important. Gardening, working around the home, I feel comfortable in blue jeans and barefoot or dressed for a nice dinner date. I am divorced and starting my second part of my life. I"m not a complicated person and enjoy the simple things life has to offer. Would nice to find someone to share those simple things with. Chemistry is important, I want to feel those butterflies again.
My son and daughter-in-law live in L.A., successful busy careers. Enjoy spending time in the city with them. Love children, no grandchildren yet.
If you are a man who would treat me with respect, make me laugh, walk next to me holding hands, share your dreams and make new memories, you may be me that special person I'm looking for. I don't have a check list that needs to completed, will know it and feel it when it happens. If you don't post your picture, good chance I won't respond.

Date a woman from United States. I am driven and I know what I want in life. I am a compassionate/passionate woman who will be your best friend, and will always "have your back". I am seeking a gentleman who loves God--will be respectful, supportive, communicative, compassionate, gentle and kind, and who could be my "tower of strength". I genuinely believe that laughter is medicinal. I would like a lot of that in my life..
I am a professional vocalist--that is my passion! The person I am with would be able to understand and support the fact that this has been a part of my life for a very long time, and makes me whole and happy...That does not mean that I would not enjoy you and take the time to participate in the important functions in your life.
There is so much more about me to share, but perhaps we can do that when and if we decide to meet.
I wish blessings upon you in your search for the perfect partner and mate that you deserve...

Meet someone special from United States. I think that it would be fun to have company, whether it be at the movies, looking for antiques, or going to the gym. I have two grown sons, both college graduates, who I enjoy very much. When I visit my son in Santa Barbara, I bring my dogs along for the ride. They are great company but they don't talk much. Although, I am looking for a long term relationship, things have to start somewhere so maybe meeting over a glass of wine would be nice. I am not a current member but soon, I will take a pic & then join!
