Date someone special from Carmel Valley, United States. Smart, funny, romantic, witty, ironic, intuitive, sassy, and of course, humble guy is looking for a woman who shares the same characteristics, with additional doses of patience, understanding, telepathy, and the ability to share her common sense with one who is deficient. I'm great at cooking, cleaning, laundry (yes, even folding, hanging and putting away). And, yes, I clean the rim and put the seat down...hey, I hate those cold surprises too.
EDIT:
So here's the thing: After getting a bunch of those little advertising "nudges" about Match.com, I decided to put a profile up, and then to write to a few women that Match recommended to me. I haven't posted a picture, because we live in a small community, and I didn't want everyone to know my actions. I'm not ugly or grotesque, and I wouldn't scare anyone away if they saw me in person. Also, I'm not married or in a relationship of any kind...I'm a widower, a word I've come to dislike in the last 6 months.
If you're interested after reading my profile, just ask and I'll send you a picture with my response.
A little more about me: I was raised as an army brat, so I've lived all over the United States and in Germany. I went to 13 schools in 12 years, and on average we moved every eleven months. It seems that I was always "the new kid". That's why I'm still shy, but once I get to know you, watch out!
I was a member of MENSA, until I received an invitation to a masquerade party with the costumes being Seventeenth Century Poets. Sorry, I just couldn't go with that
I've always loved building things, and working with my hands. I've been a builder and builder/developer for, gosh I hate to say it but, for almost 40 years.
I am in an almost constant remodel of this big old Carmel Valley house, including the exterior landscaping, and I like planting vegetables in among my flowers. I enjoy combining beauty for the eyes and food for the stomach...corny and nerdy, but, hell, that's me.
I'm a strange combination of intellect and construction-loving guy, and my family and friends think of me as an absent minded professor. I read two to three books a week; history, biography, fiction, suspense, whatever catches my eye. I usually do well playing Trivia and answer most of the questions on Jeopardy. On the other hand, I never, ever, turn down friends and/or family for help in their own projects, and I do most of the repairs on our vehicles myself. I actually love getting down and dirty, but the SECOND the job is done, I'm in the shower and scrubbing my fingernails!
I write poetry, but only my very best friends know it, so please don't tell anyone. I also love to sing in the shower, the car, and of course, after a margarita or two, at a place that has karaoke.
I have a great, quick, sense of humor and inane wit. Perfect for anything from church through back yard intimate barbeques. And keep in mind, I was raised on The Three Stooges, Abbot and Costello and Laurel and Hardy.
SO. Who am I really looking for here?
Well, heck. You have to be the things I listed before. Go ahead, scroll back up and review them. The most important are intelligence and a good sense of humor, the combination of which will give you the quickness to say: "that's disgusting," as you snicker and snort behind your hand, or to say: "that's NOT funny!" as you giggle and hide your face behind my shoulder. A quick mouth and a sense of humor helped me deal with my life growing up, and all the trials and tribulations I've faced to this point in my life.
Write me if you're interested. Hey, I'm really, honestly, a shy guy. Don't wait for me to write you.
Meet a soulmate from Carmel Valley, United States. I am loyal and hardworking, a gentleman with a sense of humor. Though I am not Mr. Excitement who goes clubbing every night, I would enjoy taking you out for a nice evening of dining and dancing if you like. I took a 6 week dance class, really liked it and can be a strong lead for you when dancing.
I am a truthful 60-year-old man who would love to bring out the youthful and fun side of our being together. Though physical appearance is important, I am not obsessed with it. People are human and I just need someone who cares about their health and maintains a healthy lifestyle. I exercise regularly, 5’10 1/2", 170 lbs.
My word is my bond and if I make a mistake, I’ll own it and resolve not to let it happen again. My goal is to be good to you, never to hurt you, to listen and to talk it out when there is a disagreement. These things are important to keep our relationship solid.
I am not a sports fanatic, but enjoy watching some sports and playing golf about once a week. I can easily and gladly include you in these activities or other activities of your choice, as my priority will be on our relationship. My vision is to spend time with you, to lose ourselves in each others company where it’s about us. I want to be your boyfriend – your man, where we are focused on our relationship to see where it may end up. But I won’t be a needy boyfriend either, so if you have a hobby or separate interest, I think it is conducive to a healthy relationship and will also respect your time of privacy like you going out with the girls and me going out the boys.
My personal goal is to lead a joy filled, healthy, life. That would include being productive, and with adequate income to be comfortable, able to travel and do fun things. I would like you to share these dreams with me.
Dates? I’m very flexible and would enjoy just being with you, doing everyday things, or we can watch the Padres, a movie, symphony, opera, a walk in Little Italy, the beach, art museums, day trips, etc. Choose something that you enjoy and I’ll get the tickets, make reservations, and pick you up (on time). I'll even go shopping if you want me to.
I possess traditional values, a confident man with solid work ethic and good manners. I’ll open your door if you like, or not, if you don’t. Just let me know.
You’ll never have to wonder where I am. I’ll send you random texts if I’m not at work. I’m a one woman man; I’ll always have your back. And….I’ll adore you till I die. (Note: I said “I” not “you”.)

Date a woman from Carmel Valley, United States. Hi,
Thanks for your interest...
I am easy going and enjoy my lifestyle. I have a successful career in the Wine Industry and feel very fortunate to love my job and to be able to meet some great people along the way. My interest in horses has been a life long commitment with several years of training that has been extremely rewarding.
In addition to my riding, I have several interests and would be open to sharing more with my partner. I love to cook and enjoy entertaining at home for friends and family. I am very versatile and you can expect to see me in jeans and dresses, and I love to wear both! I consider myself to be an honest, thoughtful, and reliable person who is sensitive to others needs and lives life with passion. I am open and easy to talk to and I hope you are too! There is no drama or arrogance with me and I pride myself on being straight forward and fun to be around.
There is a fun and playful side to me as well and I am drawn to a man who has a sense of humor and takes care of himself. I am looking for a man who desires a fabulous 'last" relationship. Someone who is intelligent, kind to others, energetic, emotionally available, and is financially secure. I am looking for that spark of passion to share life's journey.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I love to be spontaneous. I travel extensively, hike, bicycle ride and take pilates. I am looking for someone adventurous. Whether it's a concert, beach stroll, game of gin rummy or a trip almost anywhere, count me in. I also enjoy staying in. Cooking is fun, when done by two and I like to try new recipes. I've fallen for the San Diego lifestyle but Chicago is my hometown. In another life, I taught high school business and was in the water industry.
I was happily married once for twenty years. I look forward to having another almost everlasting relationship. I have two grown daughters that have advanced degrees and I am enjoying the empty nest.
I'd like to meet a humorous, smart, humble and helpful man that is where he wants to be at this age. I'm looking for a friend first. With mutual trust and respect anything can happen. Above all, I believe in the golden rule and strive for balance.
