Date men from United States / Arkansas / Oakland, 56 year old

Date someone special from Oakland, United States. I'm committed to being with people who take an optimistic view of life, who think that life is for enjoying.
I like my job, love my kids, and think the world has a lot to offer. My oldest one is graduated and married, my second is in college back East and my youngest is in high school. I travel alot for work, and never cease to be amazed and intrigued with what you discover in the various parts of the world, both domestic and foreign.
I've learned that I'm really looking for a close, meaningful relationship. I think every day (really, every day!) of how blessed and fortunate I am. And while I think one can have a great life without a partner, for me, having an intimate, deep, emotionally engaged relationship with someone special would make it more wonderful. So while I'll happily go do fun things and embark on wild adventures, since you never know when you'll make a connection, that's what I'm ultimately looking for.
I've noticed that I've been working hard, and need to take more time to relax. I'm ready to take some time to meet new people, see new things, and enjoy life more. I've been successful in business, but really need to focus more on the non-business side. And looking forward to it.
You might want to know that I can get teary-eyed at emotional heart-tugging movies. It's good to make an emotional connection with people, I'm just not sure its great to do it while watching a film. Oh well.
If any of this, or especially if most of what I've said, interests you, let me know so we can see where it might lead.......

Meet a soulmate from Oakland, United States. I am an educated, adventurous and outgoing guy who has a wide variety of interests and seeking a best friend, partner and lover to share our lives together. I am genuine and enjoy intriguing, intelligent, stimulating conversation, but am down to earth enough not to take myself too seriously. I like humor and fun woven into all that we do together and share.
I consider myself one with strong values and high integrity and energy. One that is truthful, confident, competent, engaging and social. Chivalry is alive and well with me as you will be treated with respect and dignity
I like to embrace a close relationship, whether that be a enjoying a hike in the woods or a walk on the beach, skiing, cycling, traveling, cooking a great meal, going for a ride on the Harley or just cuddling watching a movie. On the other hand, I like to balance my life by taking care of myself, eating well, exercising and savoring of family and friends.
I am relatively new to online dating, but find it a better alternative to a "chance meeting" at a social event. I am looking to meet someone of similar interests, philosophy of life and desire to share companionship and enjoy time together. I seek a friend / partner would is confident and has her own interests, as it would be great to be exposed to ones which I have not explored. If you share similar aspirations, do get in touch.

Date a man from Oakland, United States. I think I have a dry sense of humor. I am the nice guy down the street always willing to help. Foodie.
Just learning what the world is like after a long marriage. I enjoy long motorcycle rides in the countryside always on 2 lane roads. Physically in good shape. Love all kinds of music especially classical. This is a first step into the wilds for me

Meet single man from Oakland, United States. I'm a pianist -- generally, a few jazz performances in the Bay Area each month. Teaching includes a jazz workshop for kids. Writing includes a published book/CD series on learning to improvise.
I like this work, and like that it leaves time to devote to a relationship, friends, and self-reflection.
I'm sustained by thoughtful, speak-from-the-heart conversation. I also like bringing humor to everyday interactions. Share a laugh? Sign me up.
I swim about a mile most weekdays, reach for both fiction and non, and tend to go for character-driven rather than action-packed movies.
Don't know about you (we've hardly met), but I like eating out as well as cooking together, wandering into the woods and going out on the town together. I enjoy concerts and exhibits, swing and blues dancing, and getting comfy on the couch in front of a movie. I like the way a loved one's touch can stop time. I know one magic trick.
I grew up here in the East Bay. I've also lived in Santa Cruz, Tokyo, Yosemite, and just outside of New York City. I'd like to see more of the world. You too? I lean to the left on political, social, and environmental issues. My house now makes its own electricity and heats its own water. Best of all, the mortgage is paid. I live debt-free.
Who am I looking for? Well, someone who, like myself, would love to be in a relationship rooted in shared admiration, attraction, affection, humor, straight talk, walking the walk, respect for individual needs, providing a safe place to land, and deepening trust along the way.
