Date men and women from United States / Arkansas / Valley Springs, 57 year old

Date men and women from United States. I am a mature man who is into the western lifestyle. I love to ride and care for horses and appreciate others who share this passion. I'm caring, loving, intimate person. I enjoy writing poems and short stories. I know how to treat and appreciate a woman, I'm old school, chivalry is not dead..... I am looking for a woman who is comfortable being herself, not impressing others. Who is outgoing, adventurous, and a loving intimate woman. I am looking for a companion to journey on adventures at home or on the road. I'm a one woman man. I like, love, and enjoy, holding hands, and hugs. I "really" want a life companion not a dateing companion. I give all that I do 110 percent, that includes family relationships and my new love it that is you. I guess what I mean is no games please. I don't expect instant sparks or passion, I know what I like and if we feel compatable, I will court you with a respect, and all my heart and soul. I mentioned I write poems and short stories. Here is a couple.
Moonlight Rendezvous
Restless and overflowing with emotions a lone cowboy rides out to a vista of breathtaking views, above the great San Joaquin Valley and the snow covered mountains.
A full moon hangs in the night sky and shines down on a high grassy hill where he and his sweetheart promised their unending love before her journey.
Atop his trusty horse, Arizona, with his love’s beautiful horse, Roses, saddled and ponied beside him the view opens up as they reach the summit.
The only sound heard for miles is that of hoof beats slowing as he reigns the horses in. The horses test the air. Lifting their heads, they look and listen and accept that all is well.
The Valley and the Heavens open before him bathed in silvery moonlight.
The view warms his heart, as memories flood over him of her embrace as they gazed up into the same star filled heavens together.
His sweetheart’s absence pulls at his heart as he yearns for her companionship.
Suddenly, he senses her love about him, and realizes his love is under these same heavens. He feels her love, her presence. She is with him!
The stillness of the night is broken by the sound of leather flexing on a waiting saddle, and Roses stirring, padding her hooves in the soft grass.
Love has no boundaries, it lights the spirit and fills our souls.
Songs of Spring
The sun warms the countryside under the bright clear sky as it starts its journey towards the west.
Spring has arrived with its warm greetings, beautiful color, and wonderful fragrances awakening feelings of love and passion among all God’s creations.
Young butterfly’s dry their wings in the warm breeze, Song Sparrows sing out to court hopeful mates in the blooming almond trees.
Redwing Blackbirds flock to budding trees and sing out their greetings to one another. Mocking Birds are paired up and share their gossip on the wires stretching from pole to pole.
Streams full of last winters snow runoff bubble and tumble over smooth river rocks and glide through secret pools hidden under a forest canopy.
Yearling colts and fillies, nicker, and dance in pastures. There hoof beats like soft drum beats in the tall grass.
Bees are humming as the float among the carpets wild flowers full of color spread across the countryside. A rhythm builds out of natures serenades touching the core of ones soul with indescribable peace.
A couple resting in a scenic meadow embrace as they are caught up in God’s special springtime symphony. Their senses soak up the warmth, beauty, sounds and energy surrounding them.
Their hearts quicken, their breathing becomes as one and lights a soft glowing ember of love. Spring sets the stage for romance and love takes flight.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Hi, I'm Tom I am looking for a women who likes to go out to dinner and a movie. I am shy at first until I get to know somebody. I am very genuine and kind hearted. I have the gift to gab (unless it comes to dating, lol) and ironically almost always run into someone I know...regardless of where I am, near or far.
I have lived in Valley Springs, a small town, my whole life. I was on the fire department for 30 years. It is something that I miss. I am a manager at a family owned grocery store. I like the quality family atmosphere.
I was with my wife for over 25 years and I am compltely new at the dating game. I love spending time with my family but am looking for companionship. I want to be able to go out, laugh, and have a good conversation.
I have 3 beautiful daughters, 3 grandsons and 1 granddaughter and another grandchild on the way. They keep me busy with their sporting events and school functions. My grandkids range in age from 8 years old to 5 years.
My number one hobby is Nascar. I have been watching Nascar since I was young...when it wasn't the popular sport it is today. (Yes, I am a Jeff Gordon fan!) I also like to tinker around the house and work outside in the yard. I like little weekend getaways to the ocean and mountains.
I have always left the technology stuff up to my kids. I finally just purchased my own computer. So, I am new at this online dating thing and typing. If we have the chance to Instant Message, you will see that I am still learning. :-) I look forward to just talking with someone and getting to know someone for friendship or something more- who knows.
