Date men and women from United States / California / Santa Barbara, 63 year old

Date people from United States. (* in fact I have had a wife, just don't have one now. This title is the first line of a song I recently wrote...somewhat whimsical.)
I returned to Santa Barbara nearly a year ago after many years away. I grew up here, and attended and graduated from SBHS, SBCC and UCSB. It was a good place to be a kid and grow up. S.B. remains just about my favorite place to be and I am very pleased to have made this move.
I am in the process of retiring from my law practice and I should be fully retired by the end of this year. Because I have a lot of free time now, I would like to find a woman who is similarly situated and who can get away, regularly, without too many complications.
I love living here by the ocean and close to the mountains. I like being active. I am into ocean swimming, kayaking, mountain biking and hiking. I like to get some exercise just about every day. I also really enjoy all the outdoor concerts and festivals to be found here. I like to sing and play my guitar and hope that I will now have more time for these activities.
I am a pretty easy-going guy. I am looking for a woman with a similar approach to life. I laugh easily and hope you are able to see the fun in life, and are even able to laugh at yourself at times. No drama please. I believe I am a thoughtful man, in a couple of ways. I approach the world pretty rationally, and also try to be thoughtful, considerate and loving towards the one I am with. I believe in treating others as I would like to them to treat me.
I have had relationships over the years. In fact, I was married twice. The second ended over 6 years ago. Over the years I believe that I have gained some insights into my self, and into how I react to situations...particularly interpersonal situations. I am hopeful that this understanding will work beneficially in the development of the type of relationship that I am seeking.
I know that the dating process is how I will meet the woman I look for, but I really hope that it will be sooner rather than later. I am certainly not into serial dating for its own sake. I on the other hand, I won't rush anything, nor settle for less than what I want and need. I hope you don't either.

Meet someone special from United States. I consider myself loyal,trustworthy, care about family and friends; independent; not competitive in a relationship but rather supportive; approaches life seeing the glass half full rather than half empty; have always been athletic and stay is good shape; have a variety of interests from listening to NPR radio, to rollerblading, to gardening, to relaxing with a cup of coffee and doing a sudoku puzzle
The woman I seek is bright, inquisitive and curious about the world around her; may be independent and assertive, yet she is still feminine, gentle and supportive of her man; appreciates the differences between a man and a woman; she is private about intimate details, but warm and affectionate with her man; she is comfortable about emotionally giving, as well as receiving; she is sensual and loving, .and as the saying goes, she is "english in the parlour but french in the bedroom" :-)

Date men and women from United States. I am intelligent, fun loving, romantic, witty, educated, articulate and sometimes sarcastic. I am far from the stereotypical man of my age. I'm routinely mistaken for at least ten years younger. I love to spoil a woman with flowers and thoughtful little gifts. I enjoy showing affection and appreciate receiving it in return.
I absolutely love being in love and am a firm believer in spontaneous combustion!
You should be confident, strong, intelligent, witty, and very comfortable in your own skin, beautiful sparkling; smiling eyes are a huge plus. Spontaneity and playfulness are the icing on the cake.
I would hope that you've dealt with all of your issues as at this age I prefer my drama at the theater or in the movies.
I have lots of energy and can go, go, go just as well as lounging at home in front of the TV, the fireplace or in my own backyard. Let's go play, be it for a weekend drive, a short cruise out of LA or a longer vacation.
I have no gender issues and appreciate an interested woman taking the initiative.

Date a man from United States. My closest friends call me talkative; y less-close friends find me private. Go figure.

Meet single man from United States. Hi. I am interested in meeting a woman who is dependable, intelligent, active and attractive. I enjoy long romantic conversations or hiking in the mountains or on the beach in Santa Barbara. I find that it is too easy to get stuck in ruts of same old stuff, so I like people who are spontaneous and adventurous. I am often seeing things from an unusual point of view and find someone with a sense of humor might appreciate me more. I believe physical condition is important and like a relationship with someone who takes care of themselves with exercise and diet. I also believe spiritual and emotional growth are important, but very boring to talk about all the time. I think some kind of spiritual program or belief is probably important in someone I am with. If I am in a relationship, I like it when she takes my hand while walking down the street - and there is someone there.
My idea of fun is starting the day at a fun breakfast place and making up the day as we go - ending up a bookstores, movies, the beach, museums, the mountains or whatever. Fun, laughing and romance are of high importance in a relationship.

Meet someone special from Santa Barbara, United States. I have a kind and gentle soul and hoping to find someone with the same qualities. I am grateful to live in Santa Barbara, California. I would like to find someone to share it with. I Have been single for a considerable length of time and am very eager to meet someone to share this life with. I have lived the last eight years in paradise, i. e. Santa Barbara, and can't imagine living anywhere else. I lived in West L.A. , Santa Monica, Venice. I owned and operated an imported car repair business for eleven of the thirty years I lived down there, and built up to nine employees. I'm also a certified electrician, diver, crane operator and mechanic. I would consider myself semi retired. I still work when I want to and pretty much if I want to. I've worked hard to have it that way. Now to get on othe more important subject, finding Mrs. Right, it's rather simple to me. I looking for someone to love and care about, I have a lot of free time to give to my significant other. Like the saying goes, "It's all in giving'. And may I add, all in sharing.

I am a graduate of UCLA. For advanced studies I journeyed to Xanadu in the far away, exotic land of Kubla Khan, where
Alph the Sacred River ran in caverns measureless to man. There in the Ashram of Love is where I discovered the teachings
and ancient wisdom of the Enlightened Ones, including the secrets of Life, Love, Awareness and Fulfilment.

I do not believe that courtesy and manners are out of date. I appreciate what I have rather than yearn for what I have not.
I have a pet therapy dog....A Dalmatian who loves visiting the local hospital and bringing joy and good cheer to patients.

Meet a soulmate from Santa Barbara, United States. I want someone who believes love can last forever. someone who knows the diference between loving someone and being in love with someone. someone who believes that puppy love can last longer than a short time, and maybe forever.

Date a man from Santa Barbara, United States. I've got a great situation, lots of energy and plenty of places to spend it. I am a Dad..every other week for a full week, then his Mom has her full week. It gives me quality time with my son, very important, age 13, and then equal time to indulge other passions. I love my work, boutique real estate development and design. Currently working and living in Summerland. I like road trips and travel in general. A good book on tape and the open road is fun for me. Even better if a companion shares the trip! I would really like to travel both near and far with you if you share some of my excitement and passions. It's a big world and will take some time to see the best of it. The list of places to go and things to learn is endless. The above being true, I'm still a home person. Home base is the foundation for all else. The person that I want to share the fun of life with should be energetic in her own way, able to enjoy someone elses success and still maintain her own identity and manner of feeling great about her life. A good analogy for the type of woman I am looking for would be a cat. I find cats can be intelligent, playful, independant, aloof and affectionate. Is there a little bit of cat in you?

Meet single man from Santa Barbara, United States. I'm looking for a partner, not just "in my life", but fused "in my head", so the net result at times is "one". Love, in that form, is a beautiful spirit to capture, and you don't need to be religious to feel it.
I'm educated, financially secure, homeowner, funny, reliable, honorable, truthful, kind, and love all dogs...well, almost all dogs.
My match would have empathy towards others, liberal in sexual and social issues, and kind to her partner...but above all, she would have to value me, and accept me for all the good and bad qualities that seem to accumulate in a personality over time.
I have a very high energy level, and that would have to match your temperament...can you tolerate a bouncing dude?
My background includes being a social psychologist, former business owner, and junior college professor. I live in the Mission Canyon part of Santa Barbara, and I love to travel and I love the ocean. Must enjoy RV travel.
If you are a religiously oriented person, I'm not the one for you.
