Date men from United States / Arizona / Paradise, 56 year old

Date single man from Paradise, United States. This is the part that we all like so much. I would much rather meet someplace and get to know you over coffee or dinner or whatever. However, we have to say something about ourselves on this site, so here goes . . . . . .
My friends describe me as a gentleman, honest, patient, fun-loving, easy to get along with, a good listener, dedicated to family and friends. I would say that I'm an optimist who thinks that life is much more fun on the positive side of the ledger. I generally take things in stride without getting too bent out of shape if they don't go exactly as planned. I can plan a trip in advance or grab a few things on the spur of the moment and head out to see where the road leads.
I am a successful professional. I try hard to stay in shape. Although I've never been completely domesticated, I can find my way around a kitchen.
I have three great kids (well, they're not exactly kids any more, but you know what I mean) who are all very successful in their chosen professions. When we meet, I will probably be tempted to brag about them - but just a little - and you can brag about yours, too.
I like a lot of different things, and I'm open to trying just about anything at least once, but I think that it's more about who you are with than what you are doing. Whether it is exploring the world or watching a movie at home, it is a lot more fun to do it with the right person.
I would like to meet someone who looks forward to discovering what life has to offer each day, someone whose interests are both similar to mine - so that we can enjoy things that we have in common - and different from mine - so that we can expand each other's horizons on this Magical Mystery Tour we call life, someone who is equally comfortable in jeans and t-shirt and a little black dress, someone who wants to start slow, build a friendship, and take the time to really get to know each other. Friends first. Coffee. Conversation. Maybe dinner and dancing. After that, I guess we'll just have to see what happens . . . .

For various reasons, I have chosen not to post a picture, but I would be glad to send you one or exchange pics. Just e-mail me and ask.

Meet someone special from Paradise, United States. I'm a fairly fit, middle aged man that would like to met an, honest, caring, humorus, sexy (many different things can fit that bill!) woman. A giving woman who believes that she deserves a giving man. I enjoy staying physical and taking trips to the Mendocino coast, SF,NYC, etc... I really enjoy conversing and trading tales while we're hiking or just having a cup o' joe. So... I'd rather keep the details for when we text or meet. I'm not stuck on any one body type, hair color, etc... I work hard at trying to be a good man, friend, lover, and life partner. If any of this interests you, drop me a line. I look forward to that walk in the rain and a cup of whatever in front of the fireplace when we're done. If not-Good luck on your journey. Stay well!
