Date women from United States / California / Naples, 52 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am grateful I am an optimist and have a great sense of humor..because this online stuff isn't for the overly sensitive! I am a down to earth (doesn't mean I'm a hippy!),happy, vivacious, witty, fun-loving, young at heart and younger looking for my age. (I am..and am grateful for that!) I love life, roll with it's punches with a smile (for the most part), look for the good in it all, try to focus on solutions rather than problems, and demand to laugh as much as possible! I have had a very exciting and big life thus far I am appreciative of all of my experiences, both great and not so good. I am finally accepting and understand that with age and maturity(when I feel like being so) I always have options in life choices (hopefully good ones!). It all sounds quite profound and I suppose in essence it really is, but bottom line is...I don't ever really want to grow up! I have two wonderful sons, the youngest living some of the time with me and the oldest in college in Calif. They need to remind their mother most of the time to "grow up"!
I am originally from California, grew up on a ranch, and am presently living between Miami and southern California. I love the outdoors and after living in a humongously overpopulated and polluted foreign city for many years, am grateful to be in two magnificent states where being outdoors is a "must". I also love to travel and have lived in several countries. I studied Fine arts and I appreciate all different types of art and medias. After dabbling in the studio arts for some time, have more recently "reinvented" myself and am now involved in health and wellness for the body, mind and spirit. I take great care of myself, always have, (though not in a self-absorbed, conceited or obsessive way) and love being active! I feel very comfortable in jeans and barefoot, and just as much at ease in a little black dress and heels. ;)
I am interested in a man who is genuine, kind, down to earth(but not overly granola-like), appreciative, respectful and courteous. Someone who listens and understands(doesn't necessarily have to agree). I am looking for a man who is humorous and can brighten a room with laughter and a smile, though isn't a goofball or an attention seeker, a man that is just as serious as he is
funny, though isn't grumpy or boring. A great guy for me is one who can make plans and can also be spontaneous. I appreciate a man who is adventurous and fun-loving, enjoys going for an exciting evening out, and is equally comfortable and content
relaxing at home at times. I am looking for a man who can hold my hand in public, randomly enjoy kissing... and he needs to be
romantic! I am definitely looking for a man with great looks, but not conceited...a guy who is comfortable with himself , inside and
out. Someone who isn't afraid of change..someone who is open-minded and non-judgmental. Great attitudes are a must!H
