Date men and women from United States / California / Redwood City, 62 year old

Date people from United States. A man of diversity who is now bi-coastal. A place in CA and another in Greensboro, NC. Where I live depends on the project(s) I'm running.
My work in International Management Consulting takes me around the world so I mix vacations with work.
"Beemerguru" comes from my hobby of restoring vintage beemers and bimmers so yes, I can turn a wrench. For the house, I can hang dry wall, paint, and hammer. Bikes, tennis, golf, exploring, movies, the SF Symphony, sailing, reading, and traveling are my passion as you can tell from my pictures. My interest include walking all over SF, a ride up Highway 1 for the beauty and serenity, picnic up in the Sierras, hit a tennis ball, chase a golf ball, go for an occasional sail in the Bay, lunch outside near the water. It's not all about motorcycles ;-).
I'm looking for a friend, lover co-conspirator, and life partner.
I enjoy conversations about current events, business, some politics, and life. I like and encourage touching, walking, seeing sights, exploring, passionate embraces, hot tubs and hot springs, good food, a nice wine or scotch, reading, and relaxing. Still tear up at the original "Affair to Remember", after reading "Lord of the Rings".
Physically at this age, everything still works well! I don't have a six pack anymore but don't have a keg either..all the usual sports in college gave this Scorpio a good physical foundation for later. Still shoot hoops and hit a tennis ball.
A night at Barnes and Noble reading, the SF Symphony, or at a play is wonderful. So is falling asleep on the beach listening to the waves or waiting in the middle of the night to see the last shooting star. I like your picture of you and your lovable dog...but I grew up with animals and know this just means the guy must get through a protective or possessive pet to be with the owner.
Trying new things is a priority but so is improving on what you do now. While I grew up dating an Arthur Murray instructor, it's not something I want to do every weekend. There's too many other activities to try. Can you turn a wrench, sail, golf, play croquet (just kidding), horse shoes, ride a horse, sit on the couch and hold hands, or make the first move if you're in the mood? I still want to raft down the Colorado and dive in Belize. I can operate a microwave and a menu so I can appreciate a good cook - but please be someone who respects my efforts to lose that last 20 lbs. Eat less, exercise more is good..I'm trying!
I try to maintain a positive attitude so please don't have a couple drinks and unload about the last boyfriend/lover/husband/match.com guy who decided he didn't want a committed relationship and suddenly wanted out - he might have left you devastated and fearful of trying again but please....that was then, this is now. Yes it hurt but please be ready to move on. Different feller this time. Park the bags in the closet and lock the door until it's right for you to try again.
I'm constantly amazed by a woman's reactions to that all too rare instance when there is a MUTUAL instant chemistry..not just physically, but emotionally and intellectual....like a well fitting glove. 99.9% of the time it's an instant runaway!!,,,runaway...this can't be happening at this age..but it can. I still believe in love at first sight.
I'm not big on many emails and winks from China, Russia, Maine, Canada, Brazil, or places more than 50 miles from San Francisco. Unless you're paying the plane ticket for the first dinner date, I'm not going. It's a nice thought and I do appreciate it but isn't there someone local to meet for coffee? Males are visual critters...which means no picture on Match, no reply to your winks or email. Just one of those lessons learned I guess.
Never married but a series of LTR - 5, 7, and 10 yrs. Either I was ready they weren't or they were ready and I wasn't. A matter of timing like most things in life. So what are you doing for the next 14 years if I follow the trend

Meet a man from United States. I GUESS YOU COULD DESCRIBE ME AS A HOPELESS AND INCURABLE ROMANTIC WHO STILL
BELIEVES IN FAIRY TALE ENDINGS. I ENJOY SPONTANEOUS ROAD TRIPS TO THE WINE COUNTRY MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WELL THOUGHT OUT TRAVEL
PLANS ESPECIALLY CRUISES ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE. A SPECIAL CANDLE LIGHT DINNER
WITH A FIRE PLACE AND A GREAT BOTTLE OF WINE IS ON MY AGENDA OFTEN. I'M JUST AS COMFORTABLE IN A PAIR OF JEANS AT A MOVIE
THEATRE WITH A BAG OF POPCORN. THAT SPECIAL SOMEOME I'M SEARCHING FOR COMPLIMENTS AS WELL AS COMPLETES ME. SHE IS AFFECTIONATE AND LOYAL AND UNDERSTANDS
OUR HAND HOLDING PARTNERSHIP AS WE WALK THROUGH LIFE TOGETHER. I HAVE A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR AND I LOVE TO LAUGH. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE BUT IT'S HARD TO DESCRIBE
YOURSELF AND ALL YOUR ASPIRATIONS IN A FEW SHORT SENTENCES BESIDES A LITTLE LEFT TO MYSTERY IS A GOOD THING.

Date someone special from United States. Ultimately I want to create a rich, deep, passionate, authentic relationship. I had one once, but The Unfeeling Universe decided it wasn't to last, so here I am, hoping to catch lightning in a bottle a second time. I believe such relationships are built on very solid friendships, so let's find out what we really have in common and follow our hearts from there.
If we're to be a match, you will have a lot of notes to your song, they're sung with passion, and you want a partner who can hear and appreciate them all. You spend time in nature because it calls to you and without it, you're just not quite "right". Extra credit if you spend time in the mountains and own trekking poles. Mucho extra credit if you spend a few nights each year sleeping on the ground.
You like long, deep conversations--you communicate well and you expect the same from me. You want me to know you deeply, you want to know me deeply, and the process of developing that intimacy is rewarding to you. You may keep up with popular culture, but you are drawn to that which has more depth. More extra credit if classical music/ballet takes you to important places. You are curious about the world, are probably a lifelong learner, and want the same in your partner; ideas excite you. You know that "serious" doesn't have to mean "dull".
I'm warm, sensitive, caring, romantic. I'm a good listener, patient, empathic, compassionate. I plumb the depths. I have a somewhat dry but ever-present sense of humor. Whether it matches yours or not...well, we'll have to meet in person to find out. What I choose to do, I do with passion and enthusiasm. Apparently I can become interested in just about anything, especially if it is something that's important to my partner.
I've always stayed in shape. I used to be a competitive swimmer, then was a serious runner/marathoner for a decade or so.
These days my primary form of exercise is hiking in the hills (with longer trips in the Sierra), but I'm open to other possibilities.
As serious as all this sounds, I'm actually quite fun-loving and playful. Don't quite know how to convey that in writing, but if we meet and click, that side of me will soon surface.

Meet a soulmate from United States. I read books, which may sound odd, as common as it once was. I don't much care for crowded places, rather prefer the somewhat wild and open. I do well in the realm of ideas and spend some of my time reading about my main life interest, Earth Sciences. I like to hike, camp, go on road trips and get a feel for the American West.

Date men and women from United States. Mostly looking for friends at this point, for one-on-one conversation, local exploring, and sharing common interests. Like trying new restaurants, walking, driving, taking pictures. A plus if you have a dog we can take for hikes. I am currently cat bound.

Meet single man from United States. I'm active in social and professional issues, and would like to have someone who shares those values; church events are a good way
to get other friends into doing and enjoying with us similar events such as sight-seeing, travel, shopping, plays, dancing, dinner, etc; have a good
sized family that likes to get together for dinner,
trips like a recent two week cruise to Asia on Princess line

Date someone special from Redwood City, United States. Sense of humor and some degree of intelligence a must. Likes animals quite important ( I have cats and llamas....). If you are interesting too, you get bonus points (and if you like sweets you are a winner).
I am a medical professional ready to retire and enjoy life. Love to travel or spend time at home. Sitting by a lake with a book is one of my favorites. As is hiking in a beautiful forest. Also enjoy sitting and doing absolutely nothing.

Meet a soulmate from Redwood City, United States. I am just a regular person with no hidden agendas. I am honest to a fault and would like the same in my partner. I would love to meet someone to hold dear to my heart and be my best friend too. While I am responsible and hard working I love to be silly and have fun. I really need to be with someone with a great sense of humor, who laughs at my jokes and can just goof around when it's appropriate. I work hard at staying fit and healthy so couch potatoes don't work for me. By that I mean exercise and heathly food (most of the time) is what I like. I believe good communication is the key to a healthy & long lasting relationship. We don't have to have all the same interests or be glued at the hip but having some things in common is important.
I hope to meet you soon.

Date men and women from Redwood City, United States. About myself I can say honest, reliable, caring, quiet, romantic. I love the comfort, cleanliness, my every thing has its place. I am conservative, I like quiet conversation, but more listening than talking. Up to 32 years of playing basketball, is now 3 - 4 times a week walking, jogging or jumping rope. I visited Estonia, Lithuania, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Turkey, Canada. It was in the museums and theaters in Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, Berlin, Budapest, Potsdam, Krakow, Warsaw and others. I enjoyed the mountains of the Crimea, the Caucasus, the Urals and the Carpathians, the Alps and the Sierra Nevada. I love to garden, grow vegetables and flowers. Doing needlework. I like to be the water, watching on the fire. I meet the sun with a cup of coffee and my cat. I love sweets, delicious ice cream, a glass of good white wine. I prefer to fish dishes, seafood, chicken and vegetables. For me the important person's appearance, its cleanliness and neatness. I want to meet an honest, reliable, intelligent man, and build trust with them, friendly, affectionate relationship, which will be based on love and mutual respect.

Meet people from Redwood City, United States. I'm a hard-working, rather quiet and scholarly person with a terrific sense of humor and a great love of beauty and the Arts. My (Christian) values are important to me, and I try to practice them in my daily life through being generous, patient, thoughtful, honest, and loving.
My life has been very up-and-down since the death of my husband, and I would like some stability. Two incomes, even if they're modest, go a lot farther than one in the Bay Area, and I'm very tired of moving around and being lonely.
The Bay Area is such a wonderfully rich place in the Arts, top-flight performances, scenery, and events that it's a shame to just let them pass by. It's even a shame to let this wonderful weather pass by without even just getting out for a walk.!
I would like someone to share them with and to make a home with.
I might add that I have traveled extensively, particularly in Europe; I have several college degrees; and I've made, enjoyed, and lost fortunes both with the loss of my husband and the dot-com blow-up. I was raised a very poor kid, however, and love to reminisce about badland ranching as much as seeing my first Rembrandt.
If any of that is a deal-breaker, I'm sorry; but I'm pretty easy to please and pretty easy-going in general. (Slow-to-anger, and all that.) I'm VERY faithful and have never broken anybody's heart, so far as I know. My relationships last a long, long time. I miss having one not just to enjoy the many delights of the Bay Area, but also for the quiet daily things one shares about their day, their worries, and their little triumphs. Maybe I could share yours.

I know how to swim, but I prefer to play with the waves. I like to watch movies frequently at home. A little child make to smile, I laugh with a good joke.
