Date men from United States / Arkansas / Arkadelphia, 59 year old

Date someone special from Arkadelphia, United States. I'm an ordinary decent guy, who enjoys life, family, and friends, and treats other folks as I would like to be treated. I don't cheat, lie, or steal, and expect the same from others. Life is too fragile and short for unecessary drama and petty behavior. I take one day at a time, and thank God for each day. I really enjoy quiet walks, conversation, and a good book. I much prefer talking to someone face to face, if possible, rather than texting. I'm conservative in most areas of my life, and do have convictions that I won't compromise. I do love to laugh, and enjoy having FUN!!! Love my kids and grandbabies, love to spend time with them, you can learn a lot from a four year old! I have a big heart, a big house, and lots of love to share with the right person. I suppose I could best be described as the classic "Southern Gentleman". Couldn't help it if I tried, it's the way I was raised. My Father taught me many years ago, by example and words, that women are to be treated with respect, always. I still believe that.
One of my favorite quotes is from General Robert E. Lee: "Get correct views of life, and learn to see the world in it's true light. It will enable you to live pleasantly, to do good, and when summoned away, to leave without regret."
Like most folks my age, I've had my share of disappointments and joys in life, but am looking forward to better days ahead, and a lot of fun and laughter! You must love the Lord, have a sense of humor, enjoy children, and small dogs. I would like to find a good friend first, then we will see how things develop with time. Don't mean to be blunt, but you need to know that I am NOT looking for one-night stands, nor am I interested in being your "sugar-daddy". I'm a very friendly, down-to-earth person, and would like to find someone with similar values and interests. Your age is not so important as your character and emotional maturity. Please be reasonably sane, and no smokers, or drug abusers, please!
