Date men and women from United States / Arizona / Paradise, 74 year old

Date men and women from Paradise, United States. I love to love and be loved. I am a romantic frenchman who grew up in Paris and appreciates the beauty of a woman's soul. I have been living in the USA since 1970 and while I love my heritage, I really value the opportunities that I have had here. . I appreciate the simple things in life like laughing, cooking for family & friends, children's smiles,animals, a beautiful sunset, gardening and a good soccer game. There are so many things that can bring joy if you know where to look. I have a lovely home on a wooded lot in beautiful Northern California and since I am retired it is the perfect place to relax and watch the deer eat my roses and tomato plants!.
Some of the things I do, and would hope to share with a woman, are golfing, hiking, gardening, traveling, wine tasting, musical venues (no rap or heavy metal though), beach excursions, museums, movies and learning how to use this darn computer! I am very active in community events and volunteer for some worthy causes. I do not expect a woman in my life to volunteer but it is important for her to understand my passion to help others. Trust and good communication skills are important for a relationship to thrive.
I hold myself to high standards of conduct am looking for a woman that knows the difference between right and wrong. Even though I don't always make the right choice, I always try too.
I was raised in the Catholic church but feel I am more spiritual than religious.
While I appreciate the interest of the lovely women from far away, I do not think distance is workable for a relationship as it takes the spontaneity away. Without that it is hard to truly know someone.
