Date women from United States / California / Westlake Village, 56 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. After a long-term relationship, I may be rusty about this dating stuff, but I'm not jaded by the break-up. If you get lucky and meet a winner there is a mountain of work ahead, no matter what. It's knowing the work is worth it, that the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts. I'm not looking to jump into anything, but I'm a firm believer in chemistry and wouldn't turn my back on someone incredible just because I'm recently single. A perfect relationship is one in which reality is not that far from fantasy. As long as you have a realistic fantasy,you are bound to one day find your bliss. I'm pragmatic but spontaneous. Nuturing but competitive. I'd rather be wih a guy who has big dreams and no money than a guy with no dreams and money. I must admit, I like a bit of a bad boy--not an awful, I'm going to treat you like crap kind of a guy, but someone who's going to push me to my limits and then pull me back with a warm hug at the last minute Truth is I'm just a nice girl (most of the time) who's looking for some fun and companionship (not nescessarily in that order). I would love to meet someone that could leave me spellbound with a story or make me laugh until I cry. I also love creativity and passion. Maybe it's you love of music, your favorite sport, family, or the fact that you moved across country with only a duffel bag--it doesn't matter. We push each other to be the greatest people we can be. We bolster each other's ego and we leave short thoughtful love messages for each other when we're not together. If you're comfortable in your own skin, have a strong sense of self and aren't afraid to expose your flaws I'm sure we'll get along just fine. If you believe the foundation for a lasting relationship is an unparalleled companionship, unprecedented generosity and unconditional love......then I am already melting.
