Date men from United States / California / Lompoc, 52 year old

Date a man from United States. Hi! I've dated enough not to recognize the difference between someone looking for a momentary distraction and someone who is open to more. I'm a single, happy guy with a son, a daughter and a granddaughter that I love. I'm "Friendly, Open, Centered, Communicative and ever Curious. I think that to truly grow, you need to be able to take risks. I'm also Fun, a bit daring and upbeat. I enjoy music of just about every genre and most are surprised as they go through my ipod. I enjoy working with my hands and applying myself to a variety of projects which provide challenge and personal reward on a daily basis.I think that communication is paramount in a successful relationship of any type and love the long talks and conversation that lead two people to discover one another. I think that it all begins here with communication and so I try to answer at least most if not all of the message that's sent to me even if to say thanks but no thanks and I seek the same in others.
Me! Not desperate, Not mean spirited, Not a pushover, Not ready for retirement, Not looking for notches, trophies or conquests, Not controlling and not interested in being controlled. Not into drama, Not living in the past. Yes to huge hugs that last forever, laughing, smiles, talking for hours, yes to exploring the world in some shape or form.
You! Normal, mixed with equal amounts of fun, daring, giggling and laughter! I value creativity and self reliance in a woman. I want the girl who wants to be with me, but doesn't NEED to be with me! Severely allergic to drama. Superficial or obsessive behavior causes me to run as though the world was on fire. I'm looking for intelligence and natural inquisitiveness. I am enjoying my life and all that it has to offer and hope that you are too. Born and raised in northern California, I enjoy Sports (both watching and participating), people (watching and participating) and reading. I love long conversations and talks mixed with the occasional debate and I will stand up for issues that I consider to be important I also know when to relax and let things go. I've begun to up my activity level this year so I hope that you are already there or interested in moving in that direction with me. Some of my outdoor interests are Hiking, biking, beach trips, photography, outdoor PCPA (I love theater)as well as the summer concerts in both San Luis Obispo as well as Santa Barbara. Indoor would include museums, movies, dancing (I should mention that I'd love to take classes with the right person). I enjoy motorcycles and it would be nice if you did as well but it's not a deal breaker, just understand that it is an enjoyment of mine and from time to time, I'll take a day to myself for a long ride. I enjoy writing short stories and poetry which provides my imagination with a chance to roam and I'm happy with the results of that wandering.
