Date men from United States / Alabama / Oxford, 51 year old

Date a soulmate from United States. I have returned to match.com after a year off. Let's try it agin, shall we?!?
Things that I AM looking for in a woman:
wants to be good friends first, then if things work out, something more serious
enjoys the simple pleasures in life (walks in the park, nature/life’s beauty)
allows me to be a gentleman—open doors, bring flowers, etc.
looks forward to day trips to out-of-the-way venues (small-town festivals, concerts, live-music events, historical places) and an occasional vacation
seeks a down-to-earth relationship—filled with challenges, ups/downs, laughter, fun, and adventures
loves God, family and country
smiles at me at the end of a long work day—with a welcoming smile and a kiss that make my day!
Things that I am NOT looking for in a woman:
motorcycle mamas/overly tattooed bodies (however, a well-placed flower/butterfly, etc. is cool…)
red-necked/uneducated (unable to carry and hold a meaningful conversation)
biased/racist (unable to accept/tolerate those of different races/cultures)
too much make-up (too concerned about outward appearances)
materialistic (too concerned with things of this world)
About me:
I have a perpetual smile and an energetic and optimistic approach to life. I served about 14 yrs (active and reserve) in the Army before becoming a HS English teacher. I've traveled around the world (Italy, Germany, Greece, Turkey, and throughout the States, from Seattle and San Francisco to New York). I’ve settled down here in Alabama, but still would love to visit places such as the Grand Canyon, the Northeast U.S.—and I’m trying to get back to see Italy one more time! I’ve got 3 grown-and gone-children, and 6 grandkids. (I’m one of 10 children myself!) I love God and His Son Jesus, my family, my church family and my country. I’d love to chat with you…maybe that spark is there for us!

Meet a man from United States. i do have a lot to share with the right lady . I would just like to find someone that likes to travel and enjoys yard saleing or maybe spending the day crusing a country road , the smell of burning rubber at the local drag race or the shine of custom chrome , i like it simple and enjoy taking it slow i spent the last 20 year trucking on the hywaychild is were i could be found if you were looking i'm not big on football ,baseball but watching the local kids play a game is cool. love spending time at the lake or a park . now i spend most of my time taking pix or working in my shop.
