Date men from United States / California / Barstow, 63 year old

Date a soulmate from Barstow, United States. I'm both hard-working and fun-loviing. I'm adventurous, spontaneous, educated, financially stable, compassionate, considerate, warm, thoughtful, kind, and WITTY. I'm down-to-earth and unpretentious. I'm very loyal, honest, self-aware but not self-centered. I'm chivalrous, passionate, and love to have great conversations about what's going on in the world today.
I've been very successful and fortunate in my profession - teaching - and in my avocation - coaching teams that have won several State Championships in cross country. I love my job, teaching history and getting high school kids excited and curious about it. Seriously, I get these students to love history.
I'm OPTIMISTIC. My optimism has played a big role in getting my students excited about history, in getting my athletes to win championships, and in getting people excited about LIFE!, especially those people to whom I am close. I started a high school community service club that does many activities every year to help the elderly and the poor.
I am definitely optimistic about finding a special someone, especially a someone who loves to SMILE and loves to LAUGH! Dry humor has always been an important part of me. It started when I was young in order to hide my shyness - a boyish shyness that still exists today.
I love to travel. I'm going to Peru and NYC in the near future. I like the theatre, the arts, and sporting events. Go UCLA! - I competed for them when I attended college. I love going to the movies, especially love limited-release films. I also like quiet times at home, reading, watching DVDs, having conversations. Simple things.
I'm healthy and fit, thanks to a lifetime of athletic activity. I love kids - my students keep me young-at-heart. I love ANIMALS. In fact,
because of me, one of my three lovely daughters is an animal trainer.
