Date men from United States / California / Merced, 44 year old

Date a man from California, United States. About me…
I love to laugh and make others laugh. I enjoy the simple things; a good meal, a spontaneous trip to the coast, or making the most out of a simple walk. ( I will surprise you with laughter, just try me!) My friends say that I am creative and intelligent. I can fix or build anything. I can dig a ditch or complete a budget report.
I have been at my job for nine years. I have lots of responsibilities at work and home. I keep my home clean, laundry washed, bills paid and... I bathe regularly(bonus!) I have been divioced for three years. I've dated very little since. I am at a place where I am ready to find another adult who would like to have some simple,fun and laughter with me and see where it goes from there.
I have my seven year old daughter with me half of the week. She is my best buddy. She has taught me a lot about unconditional love. Her personality is big and loving. I am told by others that she is well mannered and a joy to be around (And I'm not just saying that because I'm her Dad) - - oh yeah, a shout out to my two sons if they read this ( not likely, but just in case) - I love you too.
What I am looking for…
Realizing that no one is perfect; (especially me) I am looking for someone who by this point in life is mature and wise, someone who knows what they want , who puts God first and others before herself. A person who knows how to laugh and is compassionate and kind. I love intelligence and substance in a person. A nice smile is always a plus. Someone who can be spoiled but not a spoiled brat. A grateful heart, something that I've had to learn to have... the hard way, it is such a thing of beauty in a person. We've all made mistakes... don't let it disqualify you from following your heart.
I attend church regularly and my priority is my relationship with my Lord. I am NOT religious, I am simply humbled and thankful for his gift. I am looking for a person who understands that most of all.
Thanks for looking!
