Date men from United States / California / Buellton, 53 year old

Date single man from California, United States. My initials are D.I.M. I desire someone personable, warm, affectionate. Must be high quality individual with good values. Honesty, trust, fairness and mutual respect important to me. Should wake up optimistic and live each day to its fullest. I like intelligent, secure women that are honest and open and have the ability to communicate their emotional needs. Prefer someone grateful, no stress cases, complainers, shallowness or worriers.
My sons are now 14 and 16 years of age. Both well adjusted, xlnt students. They have a good mother. I was happily married for 22 years. Married at age 30 so ready to settle down.
I am very independent and don't need, but would like to find someone to share my life with. I am a very positive person and know how to have fun. I am not a player. I liked being married. I loved my family. I respect and admire a good mother and women generally. I don't want to be single and I don't need to be married, but desire to be happy with the right woman. I work hard, like to play and then stop. I don't sit still until I'm done. A type "A" trying to slow down. I'm not the kind of person that makes "big" mistakes.
I am easy going, tend to go with the flow and enjoy whatever I'm doing. I think more than talk, but very open and honest about myself. I'm told I'm a good listener. I am not controlling or a perfectionist and I don't like those personality traits. Having things organized (gotta lot going on) and doing things well makes everyone happy and is good enough. I like people that are happy, unique, witty and/or playful. Personality is more important than looks and love matters more than money. I like doing the right thing, to have conversations that have meaning and people that are positive, loving and fun. I love to hug. For me, love is built on trust and respect. Money is not my God, God is. I am fiscally conservative; i.e., I save on little things and then spend big! and socially moderate. I follow world affairs. I have coached youth basketball, baseball, special olympics and been a YMCA camp counselor. I am currently a Rotarian. Love healthy living and constructive activity.
I know you - someone who enjoys life, wants to meet life's challenges with character and will grow old gracefully - are out there somewhere so please contact me! Doug.
