Date men and women from Walnut Creek, United States. Life has been and continues to be fun, a lot of fun. And in the last five or so years fulfilling. And yet with that twinkle of hope I am looking for that missing part of the puzzle.My perfect match will be completely comfortable in being herself and at ease with me as I will be with her. She will know all my shortcomings, my faults as well as my qualities and strenghts and yet we will be confident that we want to be together. We will share many of the same interests and recognize that sharing them with someone important only amplifies the pleasure of these endeavors. We would be conscious of fitness, enjoy music, dance and travel. All this would be accompanied with a good sense of humor and an appreciation of our good fortune. I also would hope they would be interested and perhaps even become committed to some of my volunteer work and charities. Ah, but I get ahead of myself. Initially, like most of us, I am simplely looking for an interesting, enjoyable companion to share conversation, music and dancing, dining, an occasional movie, play, ballet, or concert.
P.S. As can be seen in the one photo, I am not every woman's cup of tea. And she is a blood relative! (It is an old photo from 2004).

Meet a woman from California, United States. I was born in Madrid, Spain where I lived until I graduated from HS, at the Ursulinas (French School). After that the whole family moved to a So. American Country. As a foreign exchange student I lived for two years in Midtown Manhattan, went to NYU and enjoyed very much the energy and culture of New York and the East Coast. Moved back to So. America and worked for a multinacional corporation as an Insurance Risk Manager. In 1979 I was transferred to their headquarters in San Francisco and inmediately fell in love with the beauty, diversity and culture of the Bay Area and S.F became my home since.
While living in SF I was very involved with the visual and performing arts, Opera, Symphony, Ballet and the Museums.
I have traveled extensively all over the world, Italy, France, Spain, London, Egypt, Turkey, Morocco, Israel, Australia, China, India and lived in Japan and Hong Kong for a while.
I'm genuine and have an upbeat personality, curious, spontaneous, like to do things in the spur of the moment, a good sense of humor, optimistic. Love cooking, eat healthy. I'm fortunate with good health and good genes. I don't look my age and I'm younger than my years in both though and action. I love family and kids and at this time in my life I'm enjoying the simple things in life.
I'm looking for a man who is truthful, intelligent and affectionate, has learned from his past mistakes and is happy to be who he is right now. I would like to find that special man with good moral values who wants to make this new journey the best one of his life, love to continous learning and exploring new things, but also enjoys quite times at home and the simplicity and little things of everyday life.
Date someone special from United States. I am an active person, still working part time because I love my job. I also love to get out, and spend time both traveling (humanitarian, and pleasure) and backpacking when I can. I already have a busy life, between kids, grandkids, work, travel and camp time, but i would love to be in a relationship with someone who shares these interests. At least to start, i am looking for a relationship which preserves some independence on both sides. I have my share of idiosyncrasies, but no major drama and I think no more baggage than most.
I live alone in a house I own and enjoy, and I am still chipping away at developing it. I have three kids whom I do not see often enough, although two now live pretty close. My work schedule is pretty flexible, which allows me to take trips when the opportunity presents itself, and I really enjoy travel. I am reasonably fit (managed the 8 mile days and 1500' climbs with a backpack on the Lost Coast last month) but I'm distinctly lazy when it comes to the gym. My sport of choice is backpacking (the slow suits me fine) but I used to love soccer and often think of trying tennis (sadly, I am not athletically gifted...one foot in front of the other is my forte). I love music, but am not gifted, and would enjoy getting into more dance.
Crafts are also something I enjoy, and spend time doing when I have a chance. I am an OK cook (a few signature dishes, but don't whip up gourmet meals out of nothing) but am a fairly mean baker and make literally hundreds of cookies come holiday time.
Compassion is the most important virtue i can think of, and helping people is important to me.
Under disclaimers, I am NOT a jazzy and "with it" person. As a friend once complained "you don't even know the pop songs from when you were a teen" So true. I am a child of the 60's, but most of the happenings passed by me, while I was mired in studies. While others were protesting Viet Nam, i was still trying to figure out the Holocaust. On the other hand, I am trying to catch up...a bit.
I am looking for a relationship with someone who loves the out of doors, loves travel, and loves kids and people (loving animals is OK also). I am a hopeless romantic, but prefer to move into intimacy slowly (not glacially, however). I dream of sharing road trips, poking in out of the way places, and laughing about funny events and odd occurrences.
The person I would be interested in would have a serious side, but a good sense of humor. They would be physically active. They would be tolerant, and interested in a wide range of people and views. They could be religious, or just spiritual but not either extreme (hidebound in a strict religion, or militantly atheistic).
Goals for the rest of my life (which I am not likely to give up) Continued travel...Angkor Wat, The Wonderland Trail, more of Bhutan, Tibet, more of the PCT, a month or more on the coast, seeing my grandkids grow up, and getting them into backpacking and into service work, doing some serious writing, learning Spanish, finishing more of my back yard... I am sure there is more, enough prattle for now!!
Meet men and women from United States. I prefer men that are intelligent, considerate of others, a good conversationalist, neat appearance, able to appreciate people of all backgrounds and age, a healthy lifestyle and responsible in general. I enjoy a variety of activities mentioned in my following profile. No matter how many interests we may have in commom, one really has to meet a potential partner in person to determine whether the two personalities are a possible match. We all make ourselves sound perfectly wonderful and I am not implying that we are not; however, the attributes that inspire one may not necessarily attract another. I think we all react differently to different types of people. In orther words, a variety of an individual's personalities come into focus with different stimulus.
I usually have a good time no matter what the main activity might be in the way of an entertaining outing. I normally go out to participate in activities I enjoy., I am able to converse on a variety of subjects without considering myself an expert or specialist in one particular field. I am neatly put together and have a reasonably good sense of humor. Like most people, I enjoy having a good time and fun when I am out or even when the time is spent at home.
