Date men from United States / Alabama / Lafayette, 58 year old

Date a soulmate from United States. Thanks for checking out my ad.
Happy man here looking to meet new friends to enjoy life - maybe that special someone. I am a native San Franciscan, love life, photography, motorcycling, fine foods/wines and spending time with family and friends. I love the outdoors (a true sun whore) from walks/hiking to picnics and biking.
I have a strong enthusiasm for life and a well developed sense of play with a sweet and generous spirit. I am an open minded, progressive thinker and good sense of humor.
I am blessed with having an 11 year old son. My son is with me 50% of the time so you must be able to understand my discretion during these times. It would take several months of dating before I would introduce him to you. With that said you would still be an intregal part of his life. My son bonds quickly with others and you will need to be able to respect and handle that bond.
I have recently introduced my son to riding his bike in the rain and the joys a large puddle can bring to the day ...
Camping has never been a big thing for me. My definition of camping used to be a Hotel with no room service. But I am now getting more into it with my son and friends. We bring our Mountain Bikes with us whenever we can.
For me, there is no such "Laundry List" for a perfect match. It is the blend of many - the smile, the laugh, a broad view on life, a progressive mindset and being happy with who you are.
A few thoughts towards my partner ...
Fun loving
We all have baggage. Learn from it and move forward. Be happy!
Respectful
This world needs more people having respect for others
Open minded/Non-judgmental
Prefer those who embrace diversity and understand how wonderful it is to have it all around us.
Good communicator
Please speak your mind and be yourself.
Great kisser
Everything starts with the kiss and the kiss will always kindle the fire.
Happy with who you are
Be comfortable in your own skin. It is your inner strengths that count.
Self-Aware
I have learned to see what my part is in life, actions and consequences. Hopefully your eyes are open too.
Sensual and Physical
Love the sensuality of our souls and the deepness in our love making. The physical communications is very important.
Love to cuddle and be comfortable in your skin.

Meet a man from United States. a little shy, but outgoing, willing to take chances,going to new places meeting new faces.I enjoy accomplishments of finishing what I start and enjoy the great outdoors. I want someone in a meaningful loving relationship . If you want what every person deserves in a relationship we could work it out . nothing comes easy and I understand that commitment to a relationship is the most important thing

Date someone special from United States. Ha, this is too serious a profile, but Im not changing it! I am too serious! I think born that way. Basically, I'm a romantic, but expanded beyond relationship with lover. A Camelot/ French medieval optimism of life and art of life combined with Buddhist psychology and Sermon on the Mount.(very tricky). I want someone who really loves and honors both me and themselves. Who Is affectionate. Listens to my feelings, and I to their's. Mutuality, not identity, with most of relationship. I want a casual relationship to start, not the expectation that it will be forever--way too much pressure. That's all I need to say, but will fill out details, as many profiles are terse. I do have a lighter side. I eat ice cream daily. I have a range of interests, but especially art and photography--visual arts.. I would like to open a gallery, and would love a partner ( I would do it for the love of it; I realize it's very hard to even break even first year or two running a gallery). Also love the human voice; mostly singer songwriters, women more than men. I like the outdoors: hiking and backpacking, or diving and photographing underwater. Try to get to Eastern Sierra for backpacking or just hiking or camping often, but access in winter a problem. I am learning tennis, and want tennis partner (no experience needed just desire) I want to just lie down sometimes and do nothing-absolutely nothing-lying in grass, looking at moon , counting shooting stars. I'm a cancer doctor. Cut practice to half-time this year. I do believe meaning of life is one of service to each other in very small (a smile) or large ways. Live in Lafayette, and don't want to travel more than 30 min. I read like a fiend. Mostly non-fiction. I want a travel companion, Have traveled alone, but it's not the same. I'm smart, esp. verbally smart, (though intellectually, not nearly as smart as at 20) ,funny (English irreverent or idiotic), most say very interesting,very well-educated (over-educated), still pretty good-looking, moody at times. I tend to feel things too deeply. Usually insightful, again with occasional black holes. More emotional than rational. Often to blunt. Maybe even here. Extremely open-minded. Very non-judgmental. Definitely off-beat and idiosyncratic. I have a big heart, though, as with most of us, lapses when true empathy eludes me .Friends say I look like 50-52 or below , not 57, and I sure don't act 57! I have lots of baggage and a wealth of life experience to go with it.. In terms of relationships, friendship first (so trite). . Physical closeness can be very good way of communicating and love just being held. Through my job and relationships, I have learned to listen to feelings when expressed. Sometimes can add insight to them. Very hard thing to learn, really learn. I'm not as good as MSW's, but good. I want to deal at feelings level, not just activities level. At that level, we can help each other make it through rough patches. Our potential relationship should generate little drama. I have caused plenty of problems and drama, in back and forth, of even potentially great relationships; learned a ton about myself but can't handle much stress anymore. (though at one time, I almost welcomed it, oddly enough, as child of alcoholic) . That means no hurt feelings, no false ideas, etc.; just someone to call ,and hangout with, whom I really like. Expectations on dating site need to be kept in check. Often you know someone for years before even dating-- doesn't work that way here. Again, every person in your life brings out a different side of you. Bring out parts of me I didn't know were there. Let's have some fun, please, let's have some fun. And please say yes to offer for just a coffee date if some of this resonates. I read your profile, not just looked at picture! If I email it means I really want to meet you. David ( Images were taken by me last year in Patagonia; i.e. except my windblown sunburn photo).

Meet single man from United States. Open to exploring relationship. Love hanging out, walking, hiking and talking. A quiet evening, with a glass of wine, in front of a fire is heaven to me. I live in the country, in a very quiet setting. Cooking a fresh organic meal with someone else is fun. I am vegetarian, but have no problem with others eating meat. Have traveled extensively and plan to continue. I have my two daughters half time, week on week off, and I love being a father.

Date someone special from Lafayette, United States. I'm kind of a walking dichotomy: A Biker with a heart. A Bouncer with a brain. A guy who has always enjoyed edgy situations, but loves acting in theatre stage plays. I'm happiest on my motorcycle, but love gettin' into the kitchen and turning out some amazing meals. (Let me bake you some homemade bread!) I'm bright, funny, ballsy and mischevious, with a wicked sense of humor. I'd like to find someone that is attractive, (But I find attractiveness, in MANY different ways...) intelligent, (Intelligence, is VERY important!) funny, adventurous, confident and outgoing. I enjoy laughter and good conversation with good friends. Actually, I enjoy interaction with a LOT of different types of people and am quite happy to strike up conversation with complete strangers, just to explore who they might be. I'm 3 years out of a relationship and am gettin' pretty tired of riding solo.

Meet single man from Lafayette, United States. I'm 57, but I don't look a day over 48. Newly single after 15 years of marraige. I think the funniest men ever born were Groucho Marx and William F. Buckley, Jr. I laugh a lot, and I brood sometimes. I have many roads taken: actor, commercial fisherman, singer-songwriter, trial paralegal.
I would like to meet someone as easy-going and as driven as I; who listens to the glistening stars and remembers yesterday's wind, but goes to work in the morning and Gets It Done. Someone who has made a life of her own, and wants to share. Someone with yesterdays who still believes in tomorrows.
OK, that's kind of sappy. But you asked.

Date a soulmate from Alabama, United States. I can’t think of anyplace else I would rather be than right here in Colorado. I love being outdoors and like to get out on weekends. I enjoy going for long walks. One of my favorite places is Estes Park. I have been going there for years and feel at home among the pines. I am content to stay at home though, and enjoy the simple pleasures like reading the newspaper or listening to music on the stereo. I like dining out, but could just as easily stay home and cook. When I go out, I don’t care for bars. I would rather go to dinner, take in a movie or go to a concert. I am looking for an attractive woman that has similar interests, one that appreciates a good conversation and is capable of loving me for who I am. She should be caring and trustworthy and be interested in having a meaningful relationship. If any of this sounds interesting to you, please write to me and we will see where it goes from there.

Meet a man from Alabama, United States. I express my emotions openly. I am pretty much an open book. I try to be a good person, and I think I'm successful, most of the time. I don't use drugs and I don't drink heavily, and I look for that in a mate. Honesty is important. I don't like game playing. I would prefer that my woman like outdoor activities, like hiking and cycling. I can spend an everning watching the discovery channel, but would prefer having the adventures myself. I think I'm pretty middle of the road, politically, but I would probably get along with a liberal better than a concervative. I don't care what your religion is, as long as you're not fanatical about it. I'm looking for my best friend, with benefits.
