Date men and women from United States / California / Scotts Valley, 68 year old

Date a man from California, United States. I am so blessed with so many great friends and good memories in life. I worked hard, played, made some mistakes, embraced and moved on with life. Thank God, I can look back and laugh at myself, and say to myself, "Did I really do that!” I do not take life so serious or pretend to be important.
Whether you are looking for a permanent relationship a this time remains a mystery to me, but I do know is that I would seriously enjoy some spirited cafe coffee, lunch or dinner conversation with someone interesting, self-assured and unaffected. The very worst thing that could happen is that we would have a good time.
I have never been concerned not to live and enjoy life treasures, cherish and embrace it with passion in every season of life with vigor and constant humor. Our seasons are just too short for nothing less! I never want my internal flow of humor, and continued memories of fun mannerism of a full life, and youthful life experiences to be arrested... on the contrary, I want to be a man who has given himself a chance of continuing to develop long after some adults have muffled themselves in the cocoon of middle age habits and conventions.
I am seeking a soul-mate companion that becomes my best friend for life and my intimate loving partner. It would be wonderful to meet a new partner that can remember back going to a drive-in and kissing in the back seat and having fun, who is lively, passionate, creative, sexy, playful, great wit, mischievous, a sparkle in her eyes, and a readiness to laugh at herself, and has loved and lost at least once so you know you never want to lose again.
Also, I have had the privilege to be a single parent and raised my son from a very young baby. I am very thankful for that experience. It has been powerful, profound and a great journey!
My Family in my profile as you can see, I am very proud of my son’s accomplishment in becoming a productive and sensitive young man with values and will enable him to make positive contribution to our society. My son played sports, is an accomplished surfer, was a foreign exchange student in Argentina, graduated from San Diego State, recently married to a great young lady and he teaches high school. She is Physiologist Youth Counselor for troubled teens. Also, I have the privledge now becoming a first time grandfather this year. I have a beautiful daughter, she is my sweetheart, full of life, and gives me that sparkle that glows in my heart everyday. She plans to be a sport announcer. She is a trip of joy and love. She currentlly attends the University of Pacific.
Most importantly for my new partner is jointly embracing respectful communications, and always be truthful to each other. We strive never to be a fair weather couple and seek a continued enjoyment for passion in life, not be afraid in making some mistakes, taking risk as life presents itself with maturity, inner strength, plus willing to take a stand, be the real stuff, and be proud of our relationship everyday. Also, liking yourself to give, and not always expecting something back in return. That would be a great lady in my eyes… because it works, both ways, and I would do the same!
I am seeking a new chapter in my life that includes moving on with our lives together, including sharing common values with humor, honesty, respect, intimacy, love, kindness and venture out for new growth, including a passion for life, and most importantly an adventure that made a difference for the both of us.
Also, I'm looking for my 'new best friend' and to experience my 'last first kiss'. I would like to grow with someone, to have a 'last true love', and a lifelong partner and friend, to cherish, and to laugh with; who has the capacity to allow and accept one another's differences/ vulnerabilities and strengths during good/bad times, who always has a positive supportive encouraging attitude. Together, we will take a chance to be in love... and we'll sail on a wonderful new lifelong journey!
