Date women from United States / California / Westchester, 39 year old

Date someone special from Westchester, United States. I was born and raised in Los Angeles! How often do you find that! I love to be spontaneous and can roll with the punches. I am very down to earth and have good manners. I can support myself financially and if that intimidates you please move along. I like to be exposed to new things/ideas. I like to be outside, whether it is just taking a walk, playing with my dogs, or reading a book outside. I like going to my gym. Even better, I like seeing the people at my gym where many of them are over 80 and inspire me to be like them when Im 80!! I love the water (lakes, oceans etc). I have two dogs that I adore (no they are not purse dogs, they are both 80 pounds!). If you do not like dogs, don't bother with me. I love my family and I am close to them. I love to travel and would love to see more of the world. I love a good glass of wine and a fireplace! I like taking drives and not having a destination in mind. I love to paint and be creative. I am trustworthy, likable and very honest.
I like ambitious people and those who have goals. You should be self-sufficient, financially and emotionally stable, patient, and kind at heart. I love a man who can make me laugh. Please be genuine, honest, have old-fashioned manners, morals, values, goals, motivation & an excellent sense of humor! I LOVE to laugh - especially at myself! A guy who can be silly!! You don't have to know how to dance well, just dance!! I like guys who are not afraid to be affectionate. You will expose me to new ideas and experiences, and will also expect the same from me. You will have your own friends but will share them on occasion, and you should be comfortable in a variety of social settings. You do not have to be the life of the party but please do not be the one to sit in the corner and pout if things are not going your way. Please be mature and please look at the glass as half full. If you get down about the little things in life, again, we will not be a good match.
Note: All of my pics are from this year with the exception of the one of me at Burning Man which was from Sept. 2011. I expect you to have mostly recent pics too.
