Date men from United States / California / Angels Camp, 39 year old

Date someone special from Angels Camp, United States. I have an awesome secure career serving the public as a firefighter. I am respectful, loving, thoughtful, happy, humble, caring, clean, organized, can be sarcastic too. I like to camp explore the forests around me can watch listen to the ocean for hours. I can get lost in a book store or a library but also am spontaneous, funny, and like to have fun. I love to travel and have been thru California extensively. I believe that life is too short to be unhappy. I am looking for someone to get to know and see where it goes from there. I believe in ladies first, holding the door open, honest open communication, I treat people with respect. I think that two people can have a lasting loving relationship regardless of their backgrounds as long as they both agree to build a relationship built on trust, respect, and honesty. I think it is vital to the success of a relationship for both sides, when the time is right, to love unconditionally non-judgmentally. I believe that is what separates the great relationships from the average relationships.
Give it a chance...
It is hard to put it all down here, what we really are, what we really want. I am new to this. Been in the dating world a couple of months. My kids are my world. I love them more than anything can never get or give enough hugs. I am the boy next door type. “Tall, dark, and handsome.” Genuine. Honest. Gentleman gentle Man. I came up through the ranks have seen the best the worst of people. I don't judge but treat others with respect always. I have a lot of Hope. Not just for myself, but my kids, those around me. I love hard I give 100% too. I am a romantic. I believe in flowers for no reason other than "because." I believe in making my mate feel special that she is the most important woman on earth, in everything and always. Leaving little love notes around the house, sending flowers to work, candles and dinner (I love to cook), free time, YOU time, quiet time. I am a big ol' country boy at heart I have a big heart, am loving, kind, passionate, caring, and Honest to a fault. I look others in the eye when I speak with them, shake hands when I meet someone (or a hug as the case may be), give ladies or older folks my seat when there aren't any left. I am a big man with a large voice and a presence so when I walk in a room whether it's at a family function or a room full of fire & chaos, people notice my presence. I'm not cocky, but possess the right mix of confidence humility, compassion & honor, to do what I need to do or want to do. I have big hands to hold you long arms to wrap around you. I think the most important feature in someone is their heart. So whether it's after a hard day at work, cleaning, camping, or singing in the rain, at her best or at her worst, physically or emotionally, the woman I Love is just that...the woman I Love. I believe in and bleed the red, white, and blue. From apple pie and the SF Giants, to a tear in my eye when hearing the National Anthem. When I see a soldier or a veteran I always try to tell them thank you. Something else, I believe that the woman I'm with is my equal. We would walk side by side together through our journey, hand in hand, step by step. Best friends.
If you're still reading this, thank you. You've gotten a glimpse into my heart, it is what it is. It's a big heart though. I apologize for it being so long but I really felt that I needed to shoot it out there so you can see a little bit of what's inside me. This may all sound like a fairy tale. I'm not perfect. But I'm real. I'm honest. And what I wrote is the truth. I believe we should always be ourselves. No fronts. No lies. No games. And I do believe in Happily Ever Afters. I hope to hear from you.
