Date men and women from United States / Arizona / Chandler, 58 year old

Date a soulmate from Arizona, United States. I admit I am a romantic. I love, theater, Italian food, summer monsoon storms and nightime walks on the beach when it's windy and a little cold. I will tell you up front I turned 61 a couple weeks ago. My profile was a couple years off, and I've tried to change it but can't seem to find the secret key. My pictures are recent and representative. My kids are grown and off on their own. I'm very proud of them all, and have a beautiful granddaughter who is 2 yerars old, named Sydney, and I think it's pretty cool. I work out more than 5 times a week to stay in shape,including swim workouts with a Masters team three mornings a week. We usually do about 2500 yards a workout. I would appreciate a partner who also thinks it's important to stay in shape and to stay fit. In addition to my work I'm the assistant varsity coach for one of the local high school basketball teams. I love working with the kids, probably cause I don't want to grow up.
I"ll always get your chair at a restaurant, open your car door, and walk on the outside. I always get the check. That one is non negotiable. On the other end of the spectrum I don't attend comic book conventions, I don't have or play video games, I don't dress like a Trekkie or do Starwars lasar fights. And I don't wear a speedo to the pool. Bet that makes you breath easier.
I am looking for someone who is witty, fun, a little daring, confident, secure and independent, who enjoys travel and adventure. I'm looking for a best friend and confidant. I'm 5'8" but I stand up real straight. Actually that's midway between Dudley Moore and George Clooney. If you want to wear heels that make you taller than me, I don't care. In fact I kinda like it. If I'm going out with you I won't be checking my emails looking for greener grass. I am looking for one great relationship. My last relationship. I want to fall in love one more time.

Meet someone special from Arizona, United States. As with many aspects in life, sometimes the most challenging element of a pursuit is simply getting started. You and I are searching for essentially the same thing. Someone that will enjoy who we are, share similar regards for what a person should be, and what the balance of our lives can offer us.

Meet a man from Arizona, United States. I believe the family is where good values are developed. Being the oldest, I was held to a higher standard and with family traditions... the expectations were goals to work for ,and I am now thankful for.
I would love a partner that I can give total trust to. To find a "best Friend" to share the big and small adventures of life.
I have been told that I am too literal and that at times surely. I prefer an air of humor and laughter as mush as possible.

Date a soulmate from Chandler, United States. Can we start out as friends first, I am willing to take things slow and learn about each other. I would like to find the lady who is someone that is confidant and knows how to handle herself in all aspects of life. Who is willing to work together in all of lifes little ups and downs.
It won't take time to develope a friendship, but we can take time to help each other to gain love and respect for each other. And then again it could be Love at The first word we type.
I have not been on this site long and am still trying to say more about me which is sometimes difficult to do, But that is what everyone says when they first start out.
The things I like to do:
Talk, converstions with meaning.
Dinner at a nice restaurant or a small hole in the wall. It is the person you are with that makes it that place to remember.
Small drives on the weekend to discover those new holes in the wall that you missed.
None of this can happen until we start our first conversation.
I was born in Canada and moved to the states when I was just 3 years old. Ended up in Kirkland Washington for most of my life going to school there. Transfered down to Arizona in 2004 and have since taken retirement a little more seriously. Now I travel around and try and see more of the state. Still have alot more to see hoping you would like to do it with me.UPDATE: I just became a new american citizen
The newest thing that has happened to me was on June 1 2012, I was sworn in as new American citizen. I had taken my test and finally got to become a new American in june. Now I can speak my mind and vote for the very first time in november. Yahoo.
Now I'm ready, are you?
It dosen't hurt to email, give it a shot. What have you got to loose. WE could turn out to be best friends.
By the way my name is Craig

Meet men and women from Chandler, United States. I'm approachable, fun, warm, and witty. I love my work and career, but have come to appreciate work-life balance just as much.
I enjoy relaxing around the house, but when I tire of flailing around, I generally force myself to take road trips, try new restaurants, attend concerts, hit the driving range, attend a car show, or even hit a casino. Always better to share with a partner.
I would enjoy meeting someone of similarly varied interests, someone who enjoys the stray pun, has light behind her eyes, doesn't take life or herself too seriously, and has an open spirit and adventuous soul.
I’ve always thought the journey is as important as the destination, so look forward to sharing the full experience. I was born and raised in the northeast, grew up in central NY State, lived 20 years in Vermont, went to college in New Jersey, but love it here in AZ. I can also make a great frozen Margarita, if it helps take the edge off!

Date people from Chandler, United States. I'm passionate about travel. All kinds and all distances. Don't get me wrong I like walking in a fireplace and sitting in front of a long beach as much as the next guy - but there's nothing quite like being with your signficant other in all kinds of weather and locations.
I've been in Arizona just over 2 and a half years and it's looking like I'm going to be here awhile so I'd like to see the sites and take in some of the Arizona flavor and it would be nice to do that with an interested partner.
Kindness and caring nature. Don't take everyday life for granted...strong emotionally and healthy in spirit and body. Likes children and dogs even if they don't have any around. Is centered in their beliefs and hopes and aspirations and know what they want out of life and have little interest in settling for less.

Meet someone special from Chandler, United States. Seems I could start in a thousand different places to write a about myself and deciding just what I would like to express. Of course, I won’t take you to all those places with written words; rather, leave that to chance should we both decide to go on an adventure and meet. Just know that among many good things, you will find a confident, spiritual, fun loving, and forever optimistic man with a happy heart who still looks up on a clear starry night in awe and wonder.
So here’s the scoop on me. I am a single man, a dad, who shares and genuinely enjoys the responsibility of raising three great kids, ages 13 – 15. They usually live with me every other week or so (one who lives with me full time), but do not disappear from my life when they are away. I have only been married once, had children later in life, and love being a dad. We are a family, happy and lively; and my kids and the relationship we share is as good as a man could ever want to have in his life.
I live a very good life and balance both work and family the best I can to keep it growing that way. Although not careless or an extremist, I am definitely adventurous, taking my fair share of chances, and find it quite exciting to explore new avenues. While my job is technical and analytical, and love it, I also have a creative side which is a combination that some may find attractive in a man. In most respects, I would describe myself as versatile and multifaceted, and at my core, a giver, honest, and loyal; and like most, so much more. Forever youthful, impressionable, definitely excitable, and passionate. I always think about and try to do the right thing for everyone….myself included.
That said, I am here to meet others, and not assuming that I will find a serious relationship right away. I am very open minded, certainly approachable, here to explore possibilities, hopefully discover, and if I'm fortunate, someday be in the best relationship ever. Seems we all want unbelievably great chemistry and I am no different. But I am also realistic and have come to understand that my having children still at home and all the responsibility that goes with it may not be attractive for some; hopefully appealing to others.
Our profiles, pics (geeee, I even look like my pics), and emails are a great starting point, so if your interested in knowing more, my hope is that we will contact one another and see how it goes. I find it interesting that when I browse, sometimes I feel mindful of the long run. Other times, I find myself feeling in the moment desiring and desirable. Just be upfront, honest and open with me. I’ll understand if your exploring possibilities too! Who knows…….we may just discover something together that is special after all! Otherwise, I think it’s also fun and exciting to meet others and get out and go on a fun date!!!
Oh, I almost forgot to mention. I consider myself as very, very sensual. Hopefully, I will meet someone who genuinely and strongly desires that in her man.

Date single man from Chandler, United States. Yeah...guess I am an internet vet...some good experiences and some not so good. I am sure some I have dated would say the same. How about you? Same stories...thought ya might. So...down to cases... Politically correct terminolgy that defines the outer me : Calorically abundant...vertically challenged...follically devoid (nature's hand & then shaven for those scoring at home) Reasonably pleasing to those with impaired vision .
The inner me : Strives to earn respect &; give it as well...want to have fun without the gamesmanship that usually goes along with that....Request space occasionally and will provide the same... I had a dog...a Dorset Olde Eng. Bulldogge who was my "baby"...Corny died on 2/12 unexpectedly...& I miss him a bunch! I reserve the right to act like the child I still see in the mirror.do you feel this way ? Hope ya do.......&; also the curmudgeon that being over 50 allows us all to be...if we so choose. (Got my card that tells me so right after the AARP one came...got yers yet?)
Am looking to have a partnership that allows each of us to be who we are...and who we want to be....matter of factly..no strings...no games...no ulterior motives...well, maybe one or two motives (wink....& you should be ashamed ,at your age...well, maybe you nor I shouldn't.)
So, I am not going to tell you that every day will be the most exciting day in a happily ever after life after we've met... I see one of my goals is making you smile...laugh...and be as happy as you want to be...if I can do that...even by your just reading this & no more...then I have done my job....and that pleases me. I do hope to hear from you...& thanks for muddling thru all of this...
