Date women from United States / Arizona / Surprise, 55 year old

Date a soulmate from Arizona, United States. Me - I am an average lady, easy going with a great sense of humor looking for the same thing most of us on this site are. Love, friendship and companionship. I love to spend time with family and friends. I love a great cup of coffee or glass of wine. I love the edges from the brownie pan, a clean house and a balanced checkbook. I like a good comedy show or concert. I am not a fan of camping (aka, pretending to be homeless and enjoying it..) or being in the water unless it is the shower. You - I am looking for an overall good (fairly normal) (LOL) person who wants a commited relationship down the line. I am not interested in someone who thinks baggage is a bad thing because I think what we have experienced in life makes us who we are. Please pass me by if you are negative, bitter or love yourself way too much. Life is too short for all that drama. Thanks for reading!

Meet someone special from Arizona, United States. Self employed business woman in the golf/travel industry who loves life and wants to live it to the fullest! My interests include golf, photography, art, gardening, hiking and rock collecting.
I consider myself an Entrepreneur, having started and run four successful businesses. I love to create a business and build it to a going concern. My most rewarding business to date was an adult education vocational school in BC, where we assisted many adults with a variety of courses and professional development skills which led to meaningful employment and a much better life.
I split my time between Southern Arizona, British Columbia and the Bahamas. I have traveled extensively including most of the US and Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Costa Rica and the Caribbean. I am currently in British Columbia.
I am told I look much younger than I am, most people think I am in my early forties. I am fit, a healthy eater and a social drinker. Some of my best qualities are that I am "fun to be with", loyal, creative, energetic, very affectionate and giving. I love to cuddle and give massages, it is also very nice to receive them! I love to laugh and appreciate a man with a good sense of humour. I have flexibility in my life and I want to enjoy traveling through life with someone special. My perfect evening would be a romantic dinner paired with a good wine and listening to great music.
I have wonderful friends and a small but close family. My father and mother were both in the entertainment field, my mother was a singer and my dad was a magician so I grew up with lots of music and magic, a wonderful childhood. We traveled a lot as a family so that's where I guess I developed my love of traveling.
This is the first time I have been on a dating site, so not quite sure what to expect. I am interested in going slow and finding a friend first and then if the chemistry is right seeing where we go from there! All my photo's were taken on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas.
I am interested in a man who is intelligent, has a sense of humour, is romantic, honest and a gentleman. He would be accomplished and confident. He would enjoy the finer things life has to offer and want to share life adventures with the woman he loves. It would also be wonderful if he likes to golf or at least wants to learn, so we can play at various courses together.
