Date women from United States / California / Pleasanton, 61 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am an active, intelligent, and curious person. I love the wide open spaces of the world as well as its interesting cities. I am equally at home in a museum as I am hiking in the mountains or just sitting in my garden. A wide variety of interests, as well as a career, fill my time. I like to have intelligent conversations that are meaningful, but at times I like to just talk about the simple things.
My ideal partner would be an intelligent, active, free thinking person who has a variety of interests. He would be very interested in staying in good physical shape. He would still have hope in the future as well as respect for the past.

Meet a woman from California, United States. Hello a bit about me. I am quick with a smile and easy to engage. Educated, accomplished and intelligent with a fun; akin to mischievous; side always lurking. My friends would describe me as honest, caring, fun to be with and perceptive. I love to be active and can get lonely if I am not doing something. That is except when I am reading a good book...having one of those lazy daisy days. I enjoy being casual, however putting on that slim black or red dress makes me feel sexy...I like that too.
I have a lot of energy. Completed my first and last half marathon in September 2005. Yes, I finished it, however ran the first six miles and walked/jogged the remainder. I enjoy exercise, the gym, biking, hiking and dancing and so much more. I am a passionate woman, for living as well as loving. I have a good sense of things and go with my instincts and it is usually correct. I am the person that people turn to for that other point of view.
As for the man for me, he is not a checklist, but he does have many great qualities which makes him a man of substance. I want an educated or self made man that is, worldly of sorts. He has a sense of pride and actively works at being healthy and is fit (not the Arnold type) so that we can move quite well together on that hike…or dancing. Oh yes, he is down-to-earth, warm, engaging and has that bit of dare. He has passion for living and loving. I have to be with a man that is positive with an easy smile, disarm me please. All the above descriptions are compatibilities, combine that with the elusive "chemistry" and we may be that match. What else...we are each independently able to enrich each other's life from what we can bring to the relationship, friends, family, interests. My children are grown and on their own. It would be nice if yours are grown too. It's the ME, wanting the “US” most of the time ;)
I hope to find that long term commitment, in its time, and realize that this is all part of the process. That is, unless I fall for you at the 10 item check out counter. I hope this is what you are ultimately looking for as well? Misseo is at S B C, have a great day and wishing you all the best, ME.
BTW: A clean shaven face and a bicycle over a motorcyle wins me over.
