Date men from United States / Arkansas / Leslie, 74 year old

Date someone special from Leslie, United States. I am a retired Contractor. I am not wealthy, but I am financially stable. I am 5' 10 " tall, weigh 185#. Am told that i look and act younger than my age. would like to meet that special lady who would like to laugh and talk about anything and everything. I’d like to have the pleasure of doing some of the things that we both enjoy. We all have special needs to be met. I believe it is the greatest reward to try to meet mutual needs. A reassuring smile warms the heart. To be able to communicate with one another is of great importance to me. To try to understand the wants and needs of each other are vitally important to me also. One must be willing to give and take in a relationship. Also, one must be constantly searching for the little things that would make each other comfortable and happy. I want my companion to feel she has chosen the right person to spend the rest of her life with. I’d enjoy the pleasure of sitting and making plans for places to go and things to do that would be suitable to both of us. No matter where we have been, there will always be a lot of fun and happiness that neither has experienced before. Think about it. It's a big world out there that’s just waiting to be explored! MY PRIMARY PHOTO WAS TAKEN IN 11/2011, THE TWO PHOTOS OF ME IN BLUE SHIRT WERE TAKEN IN 6/2006, THE BLACK AND WHITE PHOTO OF ME WITH MY SMALL NEPHEW WERE TAKEN IN 3/1957 AT THE AGE OF 19. THE REST OF THE PHOTOS INCLUDING THE ONE WITH MY YOUNGEST SON WERE TAKEN ON 7/11/2012.
I HAVE A GOOD LIFE BUT WOULD PREFER TO HAVE A LOVING AND TRUSTING LADY IN MY LIFE NOT TO MAKE ME HAPPY BUT TO ADD TO MY HAPPINESS. I HAVE A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR AND ENJOY LAUGHTER AND GOOD CONVERSATION.. DON'T LIKE HARSH WORDS AND TENSION IN A RELATIONSHIP. A GREAT PART OF MY HAPPINESS IN A RELATIONSHIP COMES FROM KNOWING THAT MY PRESENCE BRINGS HAPPINESS TO MY MATE..
I AM NOT LOOKING JUST FOR A DATE BUT LOOKING FOR A NICE LADY TO SHARE THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH. IF THIS LADY IS OUT THERE SOMEWHERE AND IS INTERESTED , JUST SEND A WINK OR AN EMAIL. ANY AND ALL WILL BE APPRECIATED.
