Date men from United States / Alabama / Danville, 53 year old

Date a soulmate from Danville, United States. I thought I would try this Internet dating process as I haven't met my life partner hiking the Dipsea trail, at the bookstore, museum, camping in Kennedy Meadows or Mt. biking the Flume Trail. My initial feeling is the internet is somewhat impersonal and voyeuristic - and requires a lot of weed pulling. I've heard of summits being reached..... so here I am for a couple of months. By the way, what's up with people winking from different states. Seriously?
I'm looking for an open minded, adventuresome, funny and smart woman to have some giggles over a bottle of wine, trip to a museum or a bike ride through Golden Gate Park. Yes, I considered a pet but he could't dance nearly as well and rubbing his paw was poor substitute for a foot massage. Let's not discuss his table manners.......
I'm originally from Seattle so I have an appreciation for mountains, the color green, water, culture and rain. My favorite local get -away is Carmel where I can't wait to rub that soft white sand between my toes and build a beach fire at sunset. I love spending time in the Sierra's, anything in Marin - anything -, and enjoy the solitude of the desert.
I'm a history nut and believe you can't truly enjoy a place unless you bring something to it; namely an understanding of what you're
looking at and it's place in the world. My favorite foreign film is Jean de Florette and the sequel Manon of the Spring(surprise
ending, bring some tissue) and it's a Wonderful Life. My fantasy trip(s) in the next two years are to watch the sunset over Giza and
welcome the sunrise at Machu Picchu. I'm self-employed so getting away is never a problem - I'm armed with a Passport and I know how to use it! I'm usually reading three books at once from adventure stories (Jon Krakauer), lots of nonfiction, the classics, Buddhist teachings, and lots of magazines.
Upcoming trips you ask? I'm relaxing and fishing from a floating cabin in British Columbia next month, climbing Half Dome in Sept, attending the Strawberry Music festival for three days in September, camping in several state parks until the end of year and then trekking New Zealand in November. I like my alone time but a sunset should be shared. I love to camp but you can hardly call it that when you pull your house behind you :).
I'm 90% good guy and 10% bad boy. I was married for over 23 years so I'm experienced at devotion and loyalty. If you leap frog in
and out of relationships, I'm not the guy you're looking for. I'm an Eagle Scout and former Marine turned pacifist. I remind myself daily how fortunate I am.
I am seeking a committed relationship with an emotionally intelligent woman who shares my outdoor interests and is
emotionally accessible. Someone who is vulnerable so we can get a little "messy". I'm not interested in carrying your bags or mine. Carry on baggage only, please. If pressed I would describe myself as a cross between Indiana Jones and Jimmie Stewart. I Love to laugh at myself and with others. I'm a good cook and am always on the lookout for new vegetarian recipes.
Turnoffs: anger, impatience, defensiveness, intolerance, ignorance and conservatism.
Turn ons: kindness, charity, intelligence, spirituality, adventure, fitness, loyalty and devotion, laughter, smiles, soft lips, and a wink when I catch your eye across a crowded room.
Intelligence goes a loooong way with me. If you don't read or have an interest in exploring the world around you both within and
without, we aren't a match. In a similar and more personal vein, I'm looking for a partner who seeks personal enrichment as part of a committed and loving relationship.
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” -
Rumi

Meet a man from Danville, United States. Photographer / Teacher Looking for someone to Laugh with. I love looking into someone's eyes and seeing that kernel of intelligence and knowing they "Get You" I realized about myself I am at my very best when I am giving to someone I care about.

Date single man from Danville, United States. Big hearted, blue eyed, fun loving guy seeks free spirited woman for passionate long-term monogamous romance. A soul-mate, confidant, life-long partner is who I seek. Together we'll not let yesterday take up too much of today. Presence, honesty, passionate living, and respectful heart-to-heart communication, are attributes to which I strive.
The following rhyme may help you get a sense of who I am and the type of woman I seek:
Random acts of kindness, wonderful to behold, the hopeless and hungry, brought in from the cold.

In nature we witness most beautiful creation; we joyfully embark with renewed inspiration. In art there is truth, artist’s visions to see, and so much the better when you share them with me. There’ll be dancing, and loving, and laughing its true; an adventure most melodic, life together us two. There’s music for singing the song we call ours, and songs to be sung when we sleep under stars.

You are kind with a smile, a feminine touch, heart and good humor, don't expect to go Dutch. Witty and smart, you’re sharp as a tack, when I get us lost, you’ll know the way back. You’re happy and fearless, with passion and panache, with zeal for life-living; we make quite a splash!

Passionately I’ll love you, with friendship and truth. I learned long ago, to not be uncouth. First you will come, that certainly is best, and then when you're ready, I'll do the rest. I'll remember your birthday, I'll honor your trust, and without any worries, we'll have others to dust. Together we can rough it, dress for a show, move on the dance floor, and play in the snow.
It's hoped you've enjoyed this “who I am” rhyme. Are we a match made in heaven; coupled in time?
Let's find out.

Compliment what she does
Send her roses just because
If it's violins she loves
Let them play
Dedicate her favorite song
And hold her closer all night long
Love her today
Find one hundred ways
Don't forget, there could be
An old lover in her memory
If you need her so much more
Why don't you say?
Maybe she has it in her mind
That she's just wasting her time
Ask her to stay
Find one hundred ways
Being cool won't help
you keep a love warm
You'll just blow your only chance
Take the time to open up your heart
That's the secret of romance

Meet a man from Alabama, United States. I am one year out of a 16 year marriage. I find that a lot of women in my age rage (mid to late 40's) are looking for a serious committment. I am okay with that, but I want to take it slow.
I want to take my time to get to know someone. Not rush into bed for the sake of doing it.
Even temepred and calm are great qualities to me.
Intelligence and beauty are okay, but if the personality isn't right, it won't be a good match.
