Date men and women from United States / California / Boulder Creek, 57 year old

Date someone special from United States. Things I Like About Being In Love:
-----How everything around you just sparkles and takes on new beauty and meaning
-----Giving and receiving love, having moments together be so precious
-----The look in her eyes, living with an open heart, communicating through touch, walking and holding hands
-----Watching her glow as I give her my undivided attention, letting her know she's the most important thing in my world
-----Sharing philosophies, thoughts, feelings, dreams
I would like to meet a woman who sometimes likes being a make-up/glamour girl, and also likes going for walks. Giving, honest and not afraid to be intimate when the time comes. Has intelligence, grace, and a presence, and is committed to the last, best relationship of her life. Likes to go out, but also realizes intimacy at home can be special: curled up on the sofa watching DVDs, or just engaged in unhurried conversation, or maybe a "date" at home. Willingness to go river rafting or kayaking nice, but not essential.
I love inflatable kayaking on rivers (though I don't get to do it enough), being self-employed and pruning plants for a living, going for walks, in a natural setting if possible. Also like my down time listening to music, watching DVDs, or reading. I've written three small books, one on pruning, two on rivers, which I have given to people as gifts. I also like to watch Giants games on TV. I'm financially stable.

Meet people from United States. I like to consider myself a smart, hardworking together guy. I can take care of myself but it is so much more fun to share the ups and downs of life with a partner. I have broken hearts and had my heart broken many times but I always come back to love. I am not conventional but not so far outside as to be hard to connect with. I am secure in my outlook and need a woman who is secure and independent but knows how to meet halfway on all issues. Communication is key with no topic on earth being taboo. A good sex life is very important to me as well.
