Date men from United States / Alabama / Jacksonville, 56 year old

Date a man from Jacksonville, United States. I'm a guy who has a positive attitude towards life (the cup is always half full). I work very hard to stay fit and healthy. I consider myself to be a gentleman.
I believe in developing a relationship slowly. I think most of us who have been through divorce would agree the probable reason the marriage did not work was because we didn’t take the time to get to know the “real” person we were marrying. I believe an initial chemistry is necessary followed by the “get to know phase.”
I have three children, a daughter (23) and two sons (21 and 20). All three are in college. I have great relationships with my children. Although they are at the age where they are striving to spread their wings, and consequently don’t have much time for dad, I am here for the times they do need me.
My career is in teacher education. I’ve taught on both the high school and college levels over a span of 28 years. I’m currently serving as an academic administrator at a regional university in northeast Alabama.
About you… I am attracted to a woman who has an essence about her. She is an independent woman, but is insightful enough to know she cannot do everything alone. She cares about the way she looks, but isn’t compulsive about it. I am attracted to someone who works to stay healthy and in shape; yet she doesn’t have to have a perfect body, because none of us do.
I suppose that is enough for now. If you feel we might “click,” I hope you’ll take a moment to write.

Date single man from Jacksonville, United States. I'm not a match for everyone, so I am only looking for one woman, who I think I have been waiting for all my life. Where is she? I am a little on the serious side, a thinker, more introvert than extrovert, loves nature, music, art, good stimulating conversation, sunsets on a mountain top, hot coffee around a camp fire on a fall evening, I am drawn to things and people that inspire me, move me and challenge me to grow and become a better person, could that be you?
I would have to describe myself as an intellectual introvert with extrovert tendancies. I'm a thinker drawn towards the philosphical, love to discuss things I discover all the time, isn't discovery enlightening? I'm a very intense personality, very passionate, sensitive type, love to touch and be touched, . I am a complex personality, a challenge for anyone, i know, but i am as loyal a man as you will find, the word committed defines anything I believe in. I am not through living. I have a dry sense of humor(although it can be wet at times, somewhat naughty). I have a need for the sacred and I have places i go to to experience that. I am drawn towards the positive and repelled by the negative, although that has been a life long struggle for me. To conclude i have a multifacited personality, a living contradiction, but what can I do? I am still a romantic at heart but I have been out of the game as they say, trying to slip back in with little notice:)
The woman I seek, well first of all I hope she is seeking me. There is only one like me. She must be free spirited, following her own heart, drawn toward the positive, romantic, passionate, and open to displays of affection. Someone who enjoys reading for pleasure, can enjoy being together and not say a word. I want a "real" woman, no pretense, Mostly I'm looking for my best friend, my life's companion and my lover for life. Thats not too much to ask for ...is it?
