Date men and women from United States / Arizona / Peoria, 62 year old

Date people from Arizona, United States. I have a zest for living with an interest in any and all things of beauty. That includes music, art, scenery, food, friends, people and their relationships with each other, movies, performance arts, etc. Family and service to others have always been of utmost importance to me. I enjoy trying new things and, if I like them, even try them again. I am a faithful partner, father, and friend. Enjoy athletics and outdoor activities. Character; my own and that of those who are close to me, is very important. I have a creative mind. I love my work with children and my colleagues. (P.S.: Those daily hugs and smiles Rock!!) I would certainly love to travel and read more than I have lately, but that will come. I have a very positive outlook on life and prefer to surround myself with people who are like minded. I LOVE being among people; am daily surrounded by dozens of very sociable students and close friends. But can also appreciate a bit of quiet time as well.
Others have offered that I am funny, witty, genuine, loyal, quirky, a little sassy (in a positive way), kind, generous, thoughtful, compassionate, a people person, physically fit, athletic, creative, caring, occasionally stubborn, honest, monogamous, elegant (a surprise to me), sweet, playful, energetic, and extremely romantic. Oh, and did I leave out modest. :- ) Don't let all the pictures of suits and hats fool you. Jeans and other comfy clothes are most often for me! I also possess a double Masters Degree in Social Studies and Education and am frequently listed among Who's Who Among Educators In America. So, maybe I'm kind of smart. Or maybe I just fooled them. :-)
I very much love dancing; used to teach ballroom briefly, but I do not care for the "meat market" environment of many nightclubs. Celebrating with friends, family and/or my special lady in an enteraining environment is one thing, but looking for love among night club "barflies" has never been of interest to me. But I do enjoy a toast among friends.
It is nice that some match.com members can show pictures of the expensive material goods that they possess, talk about the different exotic international locales they travel to every weekend or so, or have adventures such as hang gliding through live volcanoes. I love to travel, be adventurous, and have a few nice things as well. However, long before any of this, I wish to meet a woman whose soft and gentle kiss gives me the sensation of thousands of tiny champagne bubbles exploding in my brain. One whose hug, or even a simple caress, will send noticeable currents of electricty travelling through my body. . . while at the same time putting me at ease and making me feel both loved and secure. One whose simple entrance into any room can and will brighten up my whole world. And whatever happens after that is a bonus. :-) I also wish to have a marriage based upon love, trust, respect, faithfulness, and a mutual admiration which truly has reason to exist..and I DO NOT intend to settle for less.
I'd like my "special someone" (the love of my life) to have a great sense of humor, abundant energy, intelligence (it's sexy), love to flirt with her "one and only", have a love of life, a great imagination, a keen sense of romance, and love family and all children. (My own are now 25, 22, and 17 years old.) It would be great if she can enjoy "exploring the people and things of the world" and, of course, great chemistry is a must. I do very much enjoy spending time with my "special one"; either alone or with family and friends. And I certainly look forward to finding you . . . wherever you are! :- )

P.S: I thank those who have sent "winks". But I really don't know what to make of them; to understand whether they're just a sign of passing interest or a more serious one. So, if you have a more serious interest, I would appreciate an e-mail that would make things a little clearer to a mind as simple as min

Meet a soulmate from Arizona, United States. I want to meet a Chinese woman that speaks Mandarin, because I would like to learn. Someone who is kind, happy, faithful, understanding, able to communicate, takes care of herself. I am hoping that the friendship will lead to a relationship, whether marriage or living together, you can decide. I have strong family values and pretty easy going. I would like to do just about anything with you, like going to movies, staying at home watching TV or a good movie, going to Lee Lee Market, going out for some good food and wine, road trips, something active outside, hiking, tennis, fishing, etc. I will have my 2 boys (12 and 14) every other week.
There are several Chinese women that I am friends with they are all so kind, happy, have a beautiful smile, intelligent and they are very mentally and physically strong. I hope to find my soulmate here. I hope Brian Weiss was right, destiny will lead us to our soulmate, but it is up to us what happens when we meet....
There is one thing I do not understand is why there are so many Chinese women who are divorced? There are more than 2000 from 39 to 55 and then another 2000 from 29 to 39 and all in CA....what is the problem? I just cannot imagine that with the Chinese women I know that any man would want to get a divorce from you....

I am a kind free loving person also, I am very protective and only have one relationship at a time, I don't believe in dating more then one person. Just the way I am, I would hope if I am luckly to ever find that one that partner, she would be the same thinking as me. This is so important! I am not a player or whatever they call guys that jump from women to women. I only want one forever. It takes time and both of us must want the samething. There are"keepers and keepers" as the old saying goes.
Long term means trust and you can't get that by dating more then one person at a time, so if you just wanting to date and not realy looking for a relationship, I might not be the one for your needs.

Meet someone special from Peoria, United States. I want a best friend/companion, partner-in-crime, side kick and someone to hang with. I hope for someone who can make me laugh and I can make him laugh, help each other and be there to listen.
I am still learning from so many mistakes and want to learn and grow and change...to fully accept without judgment.
I love to do so many things, but none with obsession. Fishing, SCUBA. Travel, Quiet times in the hot tub at home, Movies ,Books, Snorkeling, Music, back rubs, beaches, cycling, flea markets...a big variety of things....ATVing, Hunting, Garage Sales, Beaches, Horses, Gourmet Food, and so much more, but especially fishing. I would fish anywhere any time.
Gentle, honest, loving, fit and happy gentle man wanted for this zesty, happy and energetic lady.
Romantic at heart, not into "stuff" and $$ but big on slow dancing, a glass of wine or beer, love the water, and love to fish, a good movie, hiking, biking, camping, flying, SCUBA, concerts, music, the ocean and lakes, museums, good food, great discussions on anything... and YOU? What do YOU like and what do YOU want?
I want a loving, caring guy who likes ME and I like HIM. I think it is important that we LIKE each other and respect each other.
Family values, loyalty, a big, generous heart, and from-the-heart kind of guy, but playful and fun. A sense of humor is a must. A joy of a good life shared would be the plan but good friends first and always. Be someone who will stick when things get rough and stay for the good times, too. Be the kind of friend for me that I would be to him.
I do not want to change your life, just maybe make it more full of good things. I do not want to be joined at the hip but rather there when you want to share good times and need a friend. That would be me.
Is this YOU? You don't have to be into all of the things I like, just share a few, (and maybe dislike RAP music, hee haa!!!)!
Not into CONTROL but I want a relaxed, happy guy who can usually roll with the flow and not get too upset if things change a bit, my directions are bad, or if a lady would love some company when it is not totally convenient, and be happy if she adores him, thinks he is the greatest and wants to spend a lot of time with him even if it is just "hanging out".
I hope you have INTERESTS and not obsessions. A balanced life is so good! If you are ready for a loving relationship then let's go!!! 'So much to do and share!Life is to be lived right NOW!
I am 65 and not whatever this site says. I am still cultivating new interests and learning new things. Joie de Vie!
