Date men and women from United States / Alaska / Dillingham, 48 year old

Date someone special from Alaska, United States. To the world you may be one person.........but to one person, you may be the world.
I'm putting out the beacon. I'm single. I'm looking. I'm happy. I love to travel and explore. I'd like to establish a friendship that turns into something more. I love a romantic guy and I think we all deserve someone who makes us feel special and loved. I miss having someone just as interested in my day as I am in his, sharing a private joke, and spooning on a lazy morning.
I am driven to get the most out of this life that I can. I will try anything once. I also love the joy that a simple, single act can bring to others. I want someone who appreciates that and also wants to get the most out of his life.
I've lived in South Dakota, Nebraska, New York (the city) and bush Alaska. I guess that makes me adventurous and adaptable. However, I remain poised and polite and like to have a door opened for me. I love a good story and can tell a few.....even more, a good joke and enjoy a well developed sense of humor.
I do love the outdoors. In fact, I've become curious about archery/long bows. I also enjoy camping, boating, 4-wheeling, snow machines and many other outdoor activities. Sharing those interests with you would be great....and I would like you to share with me..theater, travel, visiting the city and exploring culture......mine and others. I hope you will have an interest in those areas as well.
Mostly I'd like to find a friend who can appreciate me for who I am, and who I can appreciate for who they are. If we're lucky, more will develop.
