Date men from United States / California / Walnut Creek - page 24

Date a soulmate from Walnut Creek, United States. The woman I am looking for is a good communicator, in touch with her feelings and not shy about expressing herself. She is not going to bail at the first sign of trouble in the relationship, she is going to fight for it if she thinks it is worth saving knowing full well her man is going to do the same. If you are not a good communicator, hit the delete button now! Good communication is the bedrock of any relationship. That, plus the fact that a couple should start out as friends and really get to know each other before going to the next stage. She needs her own space once in a while, she is not clingy, possessive or jealous. You will each have you likes and dislikes about individual activities but you will "talk' about what really is important to both of you. My special person can be flexible, willing to compromise, doesn't have to be always right or always have her own way. Yes?
I am just your average retired guy. Was a VP with a New York based reinsurance company who headed up their Western operation. I like to cook, make sourdough bread; I like all kinds of music, except rap. I can dress up or down; I like to hike and walk; I am very social and I love people and love to talk to them even more. I can tavel or stay home, although spending a month in Italy in a villa is on my bucket list. I am very affectionate and have no trouble expressing my feelings. I am looking for a friend to do things with, at first, and hope it will develop into something a little more permanent..
Don't be scared off by stats!
No winks! If interested, send me an e-mail. Not stating your true age or, meeting you in person and not coming very close to your photos are deal breakers! "Hat" photo taken Nov. 2011. One with grandson taken Dec. 2010.

Meet single man from Walnut Creek, United States. I am a retired professional (3 degrees) who has done real estate appraisal work and testimony for over 1,400 attorneys in the past 25 years. Now I better smell the roses but wish to have someone with whom to share life. I like independent women if they are willing to take enough time for romance and a true intimate relationship. I wish for a tall and slender 5'5' to 5'9" female so that we can more comfortably walk, dance, etc. together. I am old fashioned in opening doors and helping a lady with her coat,etc. I love animals and kids. I am willing to listen as I am not thin skinned. I am open and honest. I believe a strong man is not a macho man (ie, bully). I believe a man should be protective of his mate while needing her protection in that special way that only can be provided by a woman. I wish to cherish my mate and do all that I can for her happiness. My health is good and I don't carry baggage because I have learned from the past. I am financially secure without showing off. It is very importlant to me to have a loving warmhearted mate with whom I can be manly but yet be able to bare my soul for her advice and understanding. I know how to conduct myself in public places, can dress very well, but also like wearing casual clothes. My sense of humor is strong and I can laugh at myself. Being outdoors is fun as I am an old Eagle Scout but I like concerts, art museums. good lectures and conversations as well as viewing some sports and maybe again coaching soccer and little league. . Physical touching is important and those gentle touches and big hugs help to soothe the soul and keep the excitement going. A woman who is beautiful in more than appearance has learned from her past relationships with her head and heart in the right place. She will desire a loving relationship that she had once or still seeks to find with a caring man. I like doing volunteer work and keeping myself busy in a productive way. Going to the supermarket with a mate and then working together in the kitchen to prepare a meal followed by a comfortable evening together is one of my ideas of great fun. Planning ahead or doing something on a spontaneous basis are ok. Helping her love her children and grandkids is also ok with me. The truth is that I am idealistic, meaning I prefer to be positive about someone and not be a perfectionist. I am athletic without being an athlete. It's said that perfection is impossible in love but it's worth the effort. My heart will be warm for my mate always.

Date single man from California, United States. I am retired from my career as a graphics designer and photojournalist for national publications and really enjoyed my work.
I was educated in art and more recently have enjoyed art history classes at UC Berkeley. I have an art museum membership that I would love to share with someone. My clay work and ceramic sculpture are things I am proud of as an accomplished artist. I also have an appreciation of movies, especially film noir.
I love the outdoors and make the time to go on hikes with friends as well as on daily walks for exercise. I like dancing as well, but please don't ask me to tango just yet.
Dave Brubeck, Ellington, Basie and Mulligan are some of my favorite jazz musicians. I have a wonderful small collection of vintage jazz vinyl and have taken jazz history classes at Berkeley City College. An evening at Yoshi's at Jack London Square for a performance can be enjoyable. Have you ever been there? What kind of music lights your fire?
Travel is something I would like to do more of. I have traveled to Bavaria, Switzerland, Austria, the Czech Republic, Southern Spain, and Northern Italy as well as Mexico and Central America. I am ready to go again. It would be great to share some travel adventures. There are many new places I would love to explore with the right lady.
Relationships are important to me. I value my family (I am a very happy grandfather for the first time!)
as well as a small handful of special buddies that I make an effort in keeping close touch with. In the past two years, my volunteer work as a mentor for young juvenile offenders at a detention facility has been very satisfying.
I am looking for a healthy, committed relationship with someone warm, expressive, and honest with a good sense of humor (it’s good for the soul!) who will hopefully share some of my interests and make my heart beat faster.
I look forward to the opportunity to get to know you and what you are all about.

The stars all the way to the horizon. Full moon to light your face. The perfect romantic light, no?
A change of pace. Explore San Francisco, Marin, the Coast all the way to Oregon.
Job one, take care of the one your with and she will kind of like make you happy.
Well, I can dream about you, can I not? If you saw the movie Murphy's Romance you'll get an idea of what I am and where I'm going.
May be I'll see you there. How do you like your eggs?
