Date women from United States / Alabama / Decatur, 74 year old

Date someone special from Decatur, United States. I believe that we each need someone to enjoy in our later years, someone who brings the best out of us, someone who enjoys doing things with, but realizing we also need some space to call our own. I have enjoyed raising our family, and feel that they each have their busy lives, and live far away. Sometimes, I feel lonely and would enjoy a special someone who cares for me, and I would care for him. I would enjoy being in the company of a strong, confident man who is proud of the life he has lived and ready to enjoy new things, even simple things with me. I'm looking for a companion, who wants to get to know me and be friends, then to see where we might go from there. I would want to have that "special someone" proud of me, and be interested in the accomplishments of my life - and I would like to know more about you too. My friends would describe me as someone who enjoys people and who always sees good in people. Respect is great, I feel that Love cannot attained without respect.
I would like to find someone who would like to get acquainted thru e-mails back and forth, or calling and just relaxed visiting about each other. If we want to meet, then a cup of coffee, or lunch would be nice. I remember the times when way back - friendship was first, then courtship later - and couples really got to know their partner and knew their interests, hopes and dreams. Yes, we can all dream - life is an exciting adventure - we don't know what God has in store for each of us. But the anticipation is part of the adventure.
