Date men and women from United States / California / Altadena, 62 year old

Date single man from California, United States. I tried Match almost a year ago and thought I'd try again. Maybe I was a little impatient and maybe even unaccessible because of filling my life with other stuff -- after all, it was just me to consider. And family took away some of that time as well. But I'll try again. As I read my original profile though, I find that nothing has changed -- my desires are just as I described before -- so I actually made only small changes.
"Overagain and 2 and 3 and 4.." -- as if starting a new song or dance pattern.....hopefully not alone. But the song seems to be as long as Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give it Up" but not the sentiment -- "I used to go out to parties and stand around; 'cause I was too nervous to really get down".
I'd like to find my last love, the beautiful woman whose presence in my life causes me to smile each day, whose absence causes me to hurry to be close to her again.
My passions include activities that provide for others as well as myself. My professional work and community volunteerism are about people - I do strongly believe in public service as a public trust -- both a privilege and a responsibility.
I LOVE AND BREATHE MUSIC!! Most particularly, music is a huge part of my life as a shared communication and experience. I do also have a sports primal side -- I love fast cars and speed. I teach high-speed driving as a hobby along with other car related activities.
I do honor and respect a woman's perogatives. Dating is not a sport, I surely prefer a long term relationship. Dating is only the beginning of opportunities to share some intimacy and conversation and wherever that leads. I thoroughly enjoy sharing my life, and her life, with someone truly special. I will treat you with all the respect and appreciation you deserve. If I am truly lucky, you will be the woman that I can cherish and honor for a while to come.You are witty with a great laugh -- and understand that life has great silly moments of its own. You won't mind occasionally rising before dawn to be outdoors at a race track in Lancaster or Monterey or Phoenix or Portland - or arrive yourself there later (but you don't have to know how to handle a wrench - moral support will do).
You'll appreciate that the best blues and jazz music in town is not always at the trendiest, well-known spots, but we'll go to enjoy the music, not the hipness of the space. Importantly, you'd appreciate the gift of Duke Ellington,Count Basie,Herbie Hancock, Santana, Poncho Sanchez,the Neville Brothers, Temptations, Smokey Robinson and others -- and be willing to be introduced to Marcus Roberts, Keb Mo', Barbara Morrison, Miles Davis and Buddy Guy. You'll be very feminine and yet very confident in what you know. You will understand that I may be a little clumsy getting started here, but I will allow you to put me in check. What I need most is your willingness to make clear what it is you want. And no harm intended, but smooth jazz is DEFINITELY not for me -- I relaize that tastes do differ, but I am not comforted at all by that genre..
For all the things I do to fill my time, I would appreciate having the woman by my side that enjoys what I do -- and allows me to enjoy her passions as well. I think passion is a huge gift to our psyche -- I can't imagine that anyone truly enjoys life wthout a passion about something!
I expect too that special woman will help me to continue to become a better man -- I'm far from perfect yet "God ain't done wih me yet..." I work hard and I play hard. I would generally love to love just as hard.

Meet men and women from California, United States. My friends would probably describe me as a talented, intelligent, inventive, and passionate person with a great, sometime wacky, sense of humor, perhaps somewhat reserved until you get to know me, also very compassionate and loyal. I'm looking for someone who can enjoy the arts, cooking, keeps up with current events. Also looking for someone who likes to travel (even just to get away for a day or two), enjoys quiet time, can laugh at themselves (as opposed to serious/self-centeredness). Looking for someone with their own life, is intelligent, humorous, sexy and romantic, staying healthy inside and out. Does she have to be 100% of the above? No, I'm realistic. I'm not seeking residency on top of Mt. Olympus, but just a damn good view!

Meet a woman from California, United States. I’ve always envied people who are clearly either city or country people. I’ve finally accepted that I thrive on both—from where I live in the mountains above L.A., I can hike out the door to a waterfall, and can get to an art gallery in about twenty minutes. In less than an hour I can ski on Baldy or hang out at the beach! Life isn't half bad in LA ,but would be a lot more fun with an active "partner in crime". II'm looking for a companion to share life’s mysteries and adventures. I especially enjoy the kind of travel where getting there is part of the adventure—backpacking in the Sierras, kayaking from island to island, biking or walking from village to village, skiing or snowshoeing to a remote cabin. I'm also up for traditional car camping or a funky cabin anywhere that's quiet with a place to look for shooting starts. I'm happy with a good movie (not too violent) or book, hanging out by a warm fire. I’ve always wanted to walk along the coast of Cinque Terre from village to village in Italy and would love to go trekking in Nepal. I enjoy visiting sacred places with a mystery to them-- how the heck did the people who built Machu Picchu cut all that stone with such precision?
I greatly value my friends and family (I have two sons, one grown, the other college age), and have plenty of room in my heart for other peopleРІР‚в„ўs kids and grandkids. I enjoy eating out especially in unique ethnic restaurants (Vietnamese and Thai are favorites), and like cooking. Making ice cream and jam (plum,. berry and marmalade) are specialites. Yoga, meditation and Eastern philosophies are vital in my life.
I'm an artist, and love the work I do, including teaching.
I’m looking for a man who can be warm and direct—who wants share the experience of living life to the fullest. I hope we can share humor, music and dance (I especially like Zydeco, African and Reggae), an appreciation for nature and being outdoors.

Date people from California, United States. I would like to find someone who shares my sensibilities and love of life and is interested in the things that are meaningful to me.
I am a good friend and have worked all of my life to be the best that I can be. I am dedicated, hard working, resourceful, deeply caring and very, very funny!
My greatest accomplishment in life has been my two children who are fully launched and truly excellent humans. They bring me great joy and laughter.
At this stage of my life finding a caring, honest, and humorous friend who laughs with me and enjoys me as I am would be icing on the cake.
Hopefully you like cake!
