Date men from United States / California / Alhambra, 54 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. Taking a break as of July 08,12. Thanks!
About who I am, what I bring to the opportunity; I am tall, happy, sweet, smart, funny, a great listener, a patient, man, full of spiritual learning and I feel life is a mystical quest.
My build is that of an aging linebacker, still dance, do yoga, lift weights. I’m looking for my dance partner to dance many different forms, literally and figuratively. Swing, salsa, rock and roll, slow dance to a sexy jazz combo…ah…looking for that partner. I do hope you like to dance. In addition to it being fun, this is important to my spirituality. Dance is a moving meditation to me. I’m very open minded on spirituality and hope you are too.
I cook many different cuisines, love Farmers Markets; love to explore wine, food, especially cheeses and chocolates. Oh, yeah, there are many differences in chocolates. Let me show you food combinations that will delight, figs with bleu cheese, wrapped in prosciutto with a pistachio in the center, homemade Hot and Sour soup, lasagna. Lunch at an Urth Cafe, dinner at Ugo's in Culver City, or Momma's Fish on Maui, or Oenotri in Napa.
I studied history (Roman and Medieval) for my love of learning, I studied computers to make a living, I studied art to have beauty in my home always. I would rather go to a museum or do a road trip and go wine tasting long before I'd go to a sports event. I prefer things like the Hollywood Bowl, gardening, jazz clubs, art galleries, the Getty (Villa and main), Met in NY. Love sitting by the fire reading. I prefer thoughtful movies to action movies, I like foreign or art house, but I also am a sucker for a good Western or Sci Fi flick. Love historical movies, open to romantic comedies.
Who am I looking for? Honesty, No faked ages, no old photos! Size, if honestly shown, is not an issue, sassy plush can be good, don't hide! Please have a job or stable retirement income! Do not use drugs PERIOD! 420 not good! supports cartels indirectly no matter how you slice it!
I like open, communicative and curious dating partners. I hope to meet someone who speaks their mind and can listen to me speak mine. I’m happy in my work, if that is true for you then that is really a plus. I’m generally active and joyful in my time on the Earth, and hope you are, too. PLEASE be available to get together regularly,I need someone who is not married to their job, or is stuck all week in a town far away from here.
I love being a dad, that is forever. I’ll be delighted to meet your kids or grandkids. I love cats, ok with dogs, doubt I’ll ride horses again, but could be coaxed. I'm handy around the house, love to garden, remodel, cook, etc. My artistic side comes out in advising based on what others want for an end look.
My mornings are spent listening to NPR news or classical music or jazz. I get up very early, work out in the morning or swim an hour. I live near where I work so I have a short commute. I am willing to drive to date someone.
I’m liberal and probably will stay one, a live and let live kind of guy. I'll discuss politics and other touchy subjects but won't argue.
Hmmm, on the topic of feelings, and communication, I’ve done a lot of personal growth work, can and do express my feelings in depth, spoken and written. I'm big on intimacy, physical, emotional, spiritual. I’m an incurable romantic, want to find my last First Date. I’ve studied Sufi Poetry; do you know about the poetry of Rumi? Hafiz? These Sufi poets have had powerful effects on me. It expanded my understanding of Love on so many levels.
All in all, I'm looking for a woman about my age, probably, but I am open to older or younger women. If you are younger than 40 and have a deeply spiritual soul, want to explore, let me know, I have an open mind. If you are honest you are beyond 65, and still have a penchant for your passions a few times a week, let's talk, I’m always happy to meet vivacious and sincere women, no matter the form
