Date men and women from United States / California / Occidental, 64 year old

Date people from California, United States. I'm a computer consultant who enjoys classical music (a lot), jazz, gardening, good food and conversation, sailing, going for walks, and corny old movies (from the 30's and 40's). I especially enjoy the world of ideas (anthropology, psychology, history, philosophy, etc.). While it might be nice to share that with a woman, I sure could use a good distraction from it now and then. There's a lot of playfulness (and passion) in me, but it doesn't come out very well unless I'm pretty comfortable with my playmate. Some women have found me humorous, entertaining, and downright fun, others have found me rigid and dull. Go figure.
I am somewhat strong-willed and intense, but also patient, kind, and sincere, and I really work hard to arrive at compromises that are mutually comfortable and fair. I'm moderately conservative politically and generally a bit old-fashioned--but there are pretty major exceptions to both of those generalizations. I do respect and value mostly traditional feminine qualities in a woman. I like women and need a close relationship with a woman to be fulfilled in my life. I hope to find a woman who likes men and is comfortable needing a man in her life. I am quite capable of participating in a deeply intimate, trusting, honest, and loving relationship, especially with a woman who wants and is capable of the same. I believe it's important that both people in a romantic relationship feel "in love" and feel comfortable being who they really are. I crave a relationship with a woman that is more honestly intimate than any I have experienced so far or have known others to experience--each of us with a sincere interest in the other's life and happiness.
I live in western Sonoma County and love the country. I dearly love animals, but in their natural environment, not captive indoors where I live. If you want a (non-human) pet, we probably couldn't look forward to a life together. Also, the recession has been very hard on my finances; I'm afraid I can't provide that financial security we'd all like. The only wealth I can offer will have to come from my heart or my mind, not my pocket book. Also, since I'm an IT consultant (my business is Vista Consulting in Santa Rosa, which you could look up), I spend all day staring blurry-eyed at this screen. So if my emails are short and I try to move on to communicating by phone quickly, I hope you'll understand. I also direct a vocal ensemble called Mostly Motets (which you could also look up, if you liked) that sings music from the Renaissance and Middle Ages.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I am good, true, and have an inner beauty. My path is to live from an open heart, and cherish the tender moments that touch me deeply. I care about others. I love setting people at ease and making them feel comfortable around me. I can also be very flexible. I get unfixed quickly. I know myself well, have my own ideas and points of view, but I can also let go and see through other people's eyes. I realize that there are many ways to approach something. When faced with a difficult situation, I find my center fast. You can count on me. I follow through with what I say I'll do. I am both courageous and vulnerable. I have learned from the challenges as well as the joys of life.
My style is creative.....I cultivate an ongoing appreciation for the wonder around me. I am inspired by nature and the adventures that arise from those connections. I enjoy rhythms: the quiet ones of walking in the woods, and the soulful ones of moving across a dance floor. I love feeling the wind against my skin and the earth on my hands when I am gardening.
I can be fun and feisty and I can be deeply spiritual and sensual. I consider myself to be a seeker. I explore both inner and outer dimensions to expand my awareness. These explorations are exciting to me as I delve into new cultures. I appreciate novel ways of thinking and doing that widen the edges of my imagination and experience.
I value kindness, humor, integrity, and generosity of spirit. Engaging conversation with laughter relaxes me.
I respect a man who can be himself, and courageously communicates. I admire his ability to court adventure, and travel the terrains of both his heart and the world he lives in. I am attracted to a man who is energized by life. He can share intimately what has truth and meaning for him. He clearly demonstrates this in honorable action. He is present and aware, and expresses his love openly. He is in his body, loves his body, and takes good care of his body. He is social, relaxed, and open to sharing activities with mutual friends. We would be open to each others' friends and worlds. He would be my sweetheart, my best friend, my partner in play, and the love of my life.
