Date men and women from United States / California / Santa Rosa, 68 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. I am a healthy, intelligent, thoughtful, sensitive, passionate and caring man. I'm 68 years old, and I look and act younger.
I am honest, open and grounded, and I would like that in a woman.
I know myself quite well and I think that in order to have a truly intimate relationship that is a necessary foundation.
'intimacy can happen only after we work toward a more solid self, based on a clear understanding of our part in the relationship..."
—Harriet Lerner.
I have two beautiful daughters 27 and 29 years old, both working in their chosen professions, nurse and teacher. I am very proud of them and they are the most important people in my life.
I don't watch TV but do like the series and movies I've watched on Netflix, like 6 ft. under, The Wire and others.
I'm interested in learning to dance and have taken classes.
I am looking for a woman who likes the outdoors, is open and friendly, with a sense of humor, knows herself very well, passionate and listens with compassion and equanimity as I do.
She must have self confidence and self esteem. I believe we all have baggage, but just as I have dealt with my issues, I would want her to have done the same. I don't want perfection just integrity, authenticity, and a compassionate nature. A WOMAN, grown up, fun loving, and real.
Getting to now each other can be adventurous, fun and exciting.
I am only interested in a serious and committed monogamous relationship.

Meet people from California, United States. I am an older person but young at heart, I like riding motorcycles and driving hotrods, (I have both). Im sort of looking for companionship that could lead to a relationship, and my basic philosphy is "Say what you mean,and mean what you say". Im not much of a socialite but I like to be out and about (doing whatever), with the right person whenever the occasion arises. I am clean and sober now for 11 plus years but I have no issues with a person who can handle their own in those areas. I have a good life and Im grateful for my family and a few great friends, yes this is the good life, : ).

Date single man from California, United States. The words that best describe my core operation it would be: Spontaneous, Gentle, Empathetic, and Creative. In matters of a loving relationships I like doing activities that are creative and bonding. Oh. say dancing on the beach. and taking of on a moments notice to see a festival. What I mean by empathetic is respecting my partners feelings even if I've got definitive plans. I've found things go better and are more creative when the energy is shared. I've had such great memories doing it that way. It's fun.
I'm looking for a relationship that is strong in heart. I hope to give a lot and I have a lot to give. Giving it fulfills me. At the same time I'm looking for a mate who's looking to support me and my personal growth. I believe that to many relationships are battlefields. Each partner pushing selfishly to have it their way. There is so much to gain by listening and finding common ground. "How can we both get what we need?" is the train of thought I think works best. There are usually an endless amount of ways to do things. It takes being open and above all to really listen!
Relationships involve risk in being open to hurt and disappointment. It's my firm belief that it's worth it. It just takes being open to trusting and believing in the process. A lot of the good things happen because of letting go of preconceived ideas. and old fears. and a willingness to do it differently.
Reading profiles I get the notion that most of them could be written by someone else. Lol. Mine included.
I’m thinking that exposing what I like about myself is a bit risky.
My experience is that starting a relationship by presenting myself as I think the other wants, doesn’t work. And have them do the same. That hasn’t worked for me. I am tired of looking for and starting a relationship based on trying to cure our mutual insecurity.
I find I'm put off by profiles that talk mostly about how stable, financially secure, and self reliant that person is. A voice in my head says "well what do they need a relationship for since they have it so together." I'm looking for someone that's HUMAN and needs what I can supply and will trust embarking on a journey with a spirit and adventure.
I’m looking for a self aware, growing love partner. Someone who will lean on me and who I can lean on when life gets rough. Someone I can grow with and who I can help grow. I hope you get a sense of who I am from this. E-mail me and let's start!

Meet people from United States. I am a healthy and a happy financially secure woman who has many wonderful friends and a close family. I love to travel (Going to Eastern Europe in August), enjoy taking walks and hiking, playing golf , some easy bridge., and lots of reading. New adventures appeal to me. I also enjoy going to the city, eating at good restaurants, museums. wonderful wine (including the grapes I grow and the wine we make in the backyard), going to movies, live music and theater, meeting new people and cherishing old friends. The SF symphony, and the Giants are high on my list of favorite good times. ACT (American Conservatory Theater) in SF is a favorite, as is the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
Staying at home quietly with good books, music and quality TV, good movies.....that is also one of the best evenings.
I really enjoy playing golf, though I have a high handicap. Hiking in our beautiful wine country is a also favorite pastime.
I am a Midwesterner by birth (Chicago area) and have also lived in the Wis., Italy, Michigan, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and best of all...Sonoma County. My parents and grandparents were teachers, my father was a law professor. I was raised in a very happy home where love of learning and a joy of life were a constant theme.
I'm grateful for my friends and extended family, including my two children and their families. We are all independent and also fortunately live fairly close by each other and have a wonderful time with six young grand kids I highly value integrity, laughter, and a curious mind.

He enjoys being active and can also enjoy the simple, quiet pleasures of life. Golf, hikes, dinner out, travel anywhere, books, trips to the city, most music venues, even lectures and classes are great fun for me.

I think someone who enjoys interesting conversation and has a very good relationship with his friends and his family members...would be attractive to me..

Date a soulmate from United States. I have no desire to attempt to live life in the fast lane any more. I have slowed down and I do smell the roses every day. Gratitude is my frequent state of mind, I am grateful to say.
I have lived a rich and varied life. After spending 4 years on a cattle ranch in Idaho, and 33 years on the east coast, I finally succeeded in getting back home to California, which was no small task to be sure.
I laugh at old "Mash" reruns, silly pet antics and intelligent men with a dry or better yet, a "play on words" sense of humor.
Even though I have a BS in Psychology, and advanced training in numerous personal growth and healing practices, I have made a living with my hands much of my life; renovating houses, and driving a semi crosscountry, among other things. I also had a hypnosis practice for 15 years and helped hundreds of folks stop smoking and deal with other personal issues.
Today I am most greatful for renewed good health and to be living here in paradise (N. CA).
I don't have much social life these days. Never was into clubing or what today is called "Partying". I married too young and had babies too soon. Frankly, I don't think I missed anything really important.
I have lived in the country and in the city. I love the country but small town life is the best in my world these days.
In a "relationship" I am most interested, at this point in life, in friendship and companionship. Someone to share the day to day stuff of life with. Traveling would be fun and a great adventure whether close to home or across the world.
If I had all the money and power in the world, I would make sure that clean energy was developed quickly and implemented all over the world; that the oceans were cleaned up and protected for posteriey, that zero population growth became the norm, and that the value of co-operation became the highest value in this and all cultures.

Meet a soulmate from Santa Rosa, United States. I'm an evolved, unique woman, and I like good companions who take responsibility for themselves, are kind, generous, and yet don't waste their money. Sometimes I break the social rules of my ilk, so the man who choses to accompany this female should be open-minded when the "lady" doesn't keep her mouth shut in charged situations. I love shaking the bod to live music, and my favorite place to visit was the Kivas in New Mexico and the Temples in China.
