Date women from United States / California / Rancho Vista, 48 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm a nice woman who wants a nice guy, is that to much to ask. So i'm easy going love cooking, i collect old cookbooks have one from 1906. Camping is a favorite of mine, dancing in the moonlight. I enjoy movies whether its going out or watching my favorite at home even if i've seen it a 100 times. I just want what everyone else wants is to spend the rest of my life loving you.

Meet a woman from California, United States. I was born in Japan and have lived in California for 24 years.
I have spent the first half of my US life in San Francisco Bay Area and consider it my second home next to Japan. I have moved to Southern California 13 years ago. I love my house, but I would love to move to the cooler climate when the resale value recovers. I have been divorced for 3 years after 19 years of marriage.
I'm looking for a gentleman whom I can eventually spend the next half of my life with. I would welcome friendships here and there but I'm not necessarily interested in many little relationships. I would also like to meet someone who is already a dedicated and caring father to his child(ren) and I would love to share with him my experience with my daughter who means the world to me. If he has never been married or doesn't have a child, then I hope he will be a good friend with my daughter. I am a proud mother of a 17-year-old daughter, who has finished high school early and is currently enrolled at community college. Her goal is to transfer to UCLA.
I am searching for a soul mate, a best friend and an eternal partner whom I can adore, respect and love for a long time.
I am realistic, practical, loyal, honest, reliable and am looking for the same personality and character in my future partner. I am not a game player (I don't even know what that means). I am also a good listener. I don't describe myself very athletic, but I often find myself pretty adaptable to any sport when I actually try it.
I stay healthy mostly by being productive with a bit of tension from my work, doing Taebo and Pilates whenever I can and eating good food. Although my profile says Never for Drink (my body doesn't react very well to alcohol), my partner should/must be able to enjoy alcoholic beverages because my family and friends all drink for fun!! I use alcohol in almost all of my cooking by the way.

My Mr. Right would be someone passionate about what he does including his career and compassionate to others. He would be open to other culture and aware of the world other than where he currently is. I'd give high respect to a man who puts his words into action. There are a few turnoffs for me: Not being punctual, non animal/nature lover, being on drugs, and a couch potato.
My recent experience of losing my father taught me a great deal of significance of life that I had taken for granted. He taught me to live my life to the full extent without regret. I miss you so much, Dad....
Finally, I wish all of you the best in your search, gentlemen! And I look forward to finding my special someone very soon.
