Date men from United States / Arizona / Surprise, 50 year old

Date a man from Surprise, United States. Great guy looking to meet a person with similar interest who wants to spend quality time together and support each other to be better each day. I believe true friendship leads to love and I want to be able to have a true friend first who can then be called my true love.
I coach high school basketball and I'm very devoted and busy with this so patience is required but I would love to share this with someone who can relate to this sport and the ups and downs that go with this level of sport.
Good food whether it's cooked at home or at a restaurant is a great way for us to spend time together. Italian, Seafood, Chinese, Mexican are my favorites so there are lots of choices.
I'm really easy going and love to relax to make up for all the time I spend with basketball. Spending time with someone is the best way for me to relax. Laughing is also a great release so please lets laugh, have fun and enjoy the time we have together because life is way too short. Tough looking on the outside but a real softie.
I was raised well and know how to treat and respect a woman. I love to hold hands and enjoy the closeness of a relationship which includes kissing.
Be ready for some good natured sarcasim which is all in fun because I love to be relaxed and enjoy humor to help release any stress and tension. It will never be mean sarcasim because it will only done in fun to make us feel better by laughing. YES I can take it just as well as giving it out so please bring it on!!! :)
I love my kids and grandkids so there will be lots of fun that goes along with me and I would love to have fun with your kids and grandkids if you have any. Family happiness helps eliminate a lot of stress too.
I'm looking forward to meeting a new friend so if interested please let me know and let's see what might be.......

Meet someone special from Surprise, United States. Do I really, truly, need to explain that my headline is a joke? Seriously???
This is the part I always dislike the most. To me it seems like self-promotion, because in a way it needs to be. How do I tell you what I believe are my best qualities without sounding as if I'm attempting to "sell" myself? I find humility a far more admirable and desirable trait than arrogance. Finding the line separating confidence from arrogance is sometimes difficult, and the line between them can be so fine at times that it is easy to cross without even realizing it.
People who know be best would say that I can be a contradiction in some ways, because my traits seem to be at both ends at the same time. For example, I can be very firm and defend a position I am passionate about with the greatest ardency, yet I am also open minded and can readily accept other perspectives when I am convinced I should see things in another light. And I am not averse to admitting when I make a mistake and offering an apology, as this is NOT a weakness. I like to think this complexity, or diversity, is what makes me interesting. I do have rather eclectic tastes, interests, and desires, but once you get to know me it won't seem quite so complicated. I can be intense and analytical, but relaxed and happy-go-lucky. I can plan for everything down to every detail, because I don't enjoy being caught off-guard, but I am also very spontaneous and love surprises (the enjoyable variety, of course) and can even be impulsive at times.
But I also have very strong ideas regarding right and wrong, making the best choices, doing right by others before you do for yourself, and be devoted and committed. These are non-negotiable, as are honesty and fidelity.
I want to see the world, and have traveled extensively, but love my home and find comfort and refuge there. I am mature, confident, stable and grounded, but I love taking a cruise and doing nothing, or spending a day at Disneyland rediscovering the little boy in me. I think you get the idea regarding my "complexities".
I'm up for doing anything that doesn't land me in the morgue or prison, and I'm always interested in a new adventure. However, I'm not a real fan of doing them alone, so I'm anxious to find a travel companion, partner in crime type to join me and sit back when we get home and reminisce about what we just enjoyed as we sit on the terrace and enjoy together a bottle of fine wine and watch the sun set....or maybe try to recreate that interesting cocktail we both liked while in Tahiti.
I want someone with whom I can share my world, and have her show me hers. We should complement one another...two halves of one whole. Similar interests but not clones. Same goal so we're working to get there together, but with our own ideas about what will make the journey interesting, and then let's go there as partners and equals, best friends. I enjoy and appreciate a woman who takes care of herself and is a little "high-maintenance", and I even enjoy shopping. I hope to find a woman who wants a man who freely gives to her and enjoys the attention, and is not so "independent" that she's intimidated by a man who wants to shop for shoes with her, or brings her flowers, opens her doors, carries her bags, brings her gifts for no reason than he was thinking of her, and wishes to give in return. I'm not "clingy" and don't want a woman who is either, but two people in love should enjoy and appreciate one another when they're together. If they are put off by that, or "need their own space", there's a problem. If I spend 10-12 hours a day giving myself to my career and the kids I teach and coach, why should I not want to spend my other 5-6 waking hours with my lady? Just sayin' :-). Besides, I'll have dinner waiting for YOU when you get home, along with a hot bath and a glass of wine.
