Date women from United States / Arizona / Paradise, 60 year old

Date someone special from Paradise, United States. Retired from the airline industry after 29 years, and I still have a curiousity of different world views and cultures. I enjoy kayaking, love the mountains and have lived in various cities with my career. I am a very loyal ,sincere person with a sense of humour and am seeking a trusting soulmate to enjoy all the great things this life has to offer. I love to travel and would like to visit Italy again, South America, oh, too many places to list! Doing one big trip a year during winter has been fun the last 4 years and I would like to continue, to escape the cold here.You, hopefully being retired also, must like occasional travel. Summer travel here in the west is what I enjoy also, so much to see!
I have no children but am close to my family who live in the Bay Area. I am affectionate and fun to be with, so my friends say, and that I can create some pretty good things in the kitchen! I love working in the yard and consider myself to be pretty handy, creative, and talented.
Looking for a soulmate, best friend and confidant is my main interest, leading into a long, last, and healthy relationship. I realize we can all be a little set in our ways as we get older, no relationship is perfect, but I try to be flexible and spontaneous, which can be very important, as situations arise.
I prefer back roads to large cities, but San Francisco is a favorite, whether to walk the bridge, the marina, a Giant's game, North Beach, or simply to dine in one of the many fine restaurants, visit Angel Island, take a ferry boat ride, to many fun things to list
I am very passionate and affectionate but Mr. Right will realize that, and giving is important in my relationships whether it be with family, friends, or you? Sharing and giving is how I like to live my life.
I am sorry, gentlemen, but I am not interested in tattoo's or motorcycles.
Anywhere in, on, or around water is where I like spending time the most.
Driving is not a problem for the right person, as I live about 10 miles east of Chico. What is distance when you are retired?
This process on Match is uncomfortable for me-I feel like I am on public display! I would rather talk one on one, and get to know you. If I sound of interest to you, well, I'd like to hear from you!
