I love gourmet dining, listening to R&B, pop/soul music, watching stand up comedy and lifelong learning. I am hoping to meet a handsome, intelligent, educated gentleman for a relationship leading to marriage. I've dated many men shorter than I am but now would like someone taller than 5'8. I've also dated men years my senior but now would like someone within ten years of my age, 25-45. I am a Bay Area California native. Familiarity with that area is a plus as it gives you an idea of the world view I grew up in there during the 70's and 80's.

I shy away from a man that has teenagers or more than two children. I want to spend the second half of my life as a couple with extended family or grown children rather than parenting full time.(I have a sixteen year old son that lives in California). I would love to share my love of all animals with my partner. I'd like to go horseback riding for the first time or on a vacation overseas.
