Date women from United States / California / Castro Valley, 50 year old

Date someone special from Castro Valley, United States. This may be shallow, but physical attraction is important to me and it should be for you as well. It is the spark that starts the fire.
I am energetic with a great smile, playful, witty and like to laugh, especially at myself. Trust, reliability and honesty are standard, not options. I enjoy working out and being in the outdoors, hiking, camping, gardening. I also enjoy just staying in and watching a movie or cooking a great meal. I love seeing new places and some old favorites that I never tire of. I love to travel and experiencing new things.
I have two teen age boys (18 and 14) that add a lot of excitement to my life. They primarily live with me. My oldest will be a senior in high school this year and my youngest will be a freshman. They are at the point where they no longer require my full attention but it is never a dull moment with them around.
I also have a wonderful yellow lab that is a complete bed hog.
A few things that I believe: Balance is important but so is just having fun and experiencing life to the fullest. Every day is a new opportunity to be the best that we can be. Someone recently told me that I roll with the punches and never ask why me? I guess that is true, you have play the hand you are holding and life is too short to simply fold and walk away from the table.
A bit about you: please be honest and have recent pictures. Please do not misrepresent yourself. If we connect, we will meet and if you said you are 6 feet tall and you show up and you're only 5' 6" I'll notice that immediately. Then that entire trust factor goes right out the door with you. Please have no hang ups (ok, I guess that's not really fair since we all have hang ups and baggage from the past, but I think you know what I'm talking about) be patient, be kind, be willing to take a chance with the one that might just be the love of your life. Can we connect as friends and then fall in love?
Please email me, let me know something about you, no winks please. I have made it easy with some simple ice breaker questions. There are no wrong choices. And if you are 'just' looking for sex, please keep going and pass me by. I want something else from this.
Are you attractive?
Do you have a good sense of humor and enjoy laughing?
Are you content with who you are as a man and not into stroking your own ego?
Mountains or ocean?
Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
Sunrise or sunset?
Hugs or kisses?
What is it about the first time you casually touch another person? Taking their hand, accidentally brushing fingers, sweeping a strand of fallen hair off my face, is there a spark? I hope so.
If so, drop me a line, letРІР‚в„ўs see if have a connection.

Meet a soulmate from Castro Valley, United States. Hello,
I am an energetic, cheerful person who tends to look at life on the bright side. Happiness is a choice-I choose it. I love sports and the outdoors. I can also spend hours reading a book if it's a good one.
I am looking for an intelligent, sincere, loving man to share life with. I prefer monogamy.
I am very openhearted, but as the sole parent of my kids, I must proceed carefully. I would love an enduring relationship again, but I know it can't be rushed. If it's meant to be, it will happen.
Please email me for more.
Have an awesome day!
