Date men and women from United States / California / South San Francisco, 58 year old

Date single man from United States. not looking for a "match" per se.....want to enjoy company, conversation, compassion and whatever else arises between us. given i hafta go on about my wonderful qualities, i have no faults of course, except maybe my overzealousness to be generous and helpful or my proclivity to be interesting and inquisitive all in one...did i say i was a big liar too?....lol

Meet a soulmate from United States. Positive, easy-going, and caring, yet independent, I'm an active person and enjoy working with my hands (building, drawing, etc). I thrive on a healthy lifestyle but am not above downing a bag of potato chips or a pint of ice cream. I prefer close relationships with family and a few dear friends rather than being in crowds. Picnics, reading to another person, going out for breakfast, patio dining, road trips, summer swims, walking/hiking, bicycling, off-road motorcycling, Photoshop, and drawing are a few of my loves. I tend to prefer casual to formal, but can dress for the occasion.
So what qualities do I prefer in a partner? Cheerfulness, flexibility, and a sense of humor, and committment are big pluses. I appreciate someone who can laugh at themselves and see the positive side of life without being judgmental. Creativity, interest in continued growth, active caring and sharing, mutual admiration and respect, open and frequent communication; I think these are all so important to a thriving relationship. And I prefer a participant to a spectator. Someone who I can learn from and who's open to learning from me.
But lists are so one-dimensional and I tend to be fluid, learning all the time, with my interests adjusting as I grow. As for a relationship, I've learned it’s the indescribeable chemistry that counts. For me it all comes down to finding a personality I naturally mesh with, someone open to sharing each of our independent lives with. So let’s chat and see where it goes!
...oh, and long distance relationships don't work for me. Please live in San Mateo, San Francisco, or Alameda counties.
