Date men from United States / California / Chino Hills, 48 year old

Date a soulmate from United States. A shy extrovert who believes that real life lessons can also be found in films, I am comfortable in a social setting but would rather be engrossed in a film, a book, an art exhibit or in a foreign land. I crave discovery and surprises and learning something profound and new. Summers are nice as long as I'm close to the beach but I love rain since it's very magical.
I am most happy when I am in a creative bubble. I have written and directed a film and currently just finished my second one - a drama set in the world of the Los Angeles rock n' roll music scene. Also trying my hand in writing a novel and finishing it would result in a great personal achievement for me.
I love conversations. Anything under the sun will do. I do not profess to know everything and I will ask you if I do not know what the hell you're talking about. Jazz and blues bars and lounges I prefer but it does not mean I cannot get down on the floor with the best of them if I have to. I will do anything once because if I don't, what is the point of it all?
What am I looking for in a relationship? Same as what you're searching for. But maybe best not to look so hard because it might just pass you by. Just let it all come to you. Because it always does and it always will. Now hanging on to it, that's the tricky part.
My passions in life are something I have to tell you in person. It is better said face to face. That way you can tell if I'm really passionate about it.

Meet a man from United States. The 2011 Rewrite:
As with most of us on Match, still single but still enjoying it as well. Few ups and downs, but I can say 90% have been up. It's just that one that slipped past the guard and you didn't realize how bad they were till the Doctor said don't worry it's only a flesh wound. Just kidding a little.
I am very committed to finding that special lady, I can share some of my good times with. My kids are grown/growing. My daughter graduates high school this year so I can now past go and collect $200. With that time I want to start to fill up passport #2, and enjoy more of the adult part of life, so someone like minded and doesn't mind laying in the Sun somewhere nice will be greatly appreciate.
I am very low maintenance. Gregg likes him so Gregg so I entertain and crack myself up constantly. I don't mind getting on Saturday morning driving to Vegas to have breakfast at The Blueberry Hill Cafe, hanging out for a day and be back in time for 11 o'clock Sunday service. If I don't like me I certainly can't like you.
My day to day stuff is pretty regular in that I work a lot and I also work out 6 days a week. Fitness is very important to me and I prefer it to be important to my partner. 6 days maybe a little much for you but being fit and healthy should not. On the must have meter this is probably 8 out of 10. You don't have to have a 6-pack, but I don't want a keg either. Vain? Yeah I guess so, but I work very hard to be physically appealing so a little in return can't be to much to ask.
I also work very hard at being fit mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I believe most people that know me, ex's included, will and have said, I am the type person that demands things but give much more. I'll certainly support your dreams if you support mine.
So it's getting to be summer in L. A. that means travel, beach, concerts, and outdoor time. Let's enjoy some of it together and let's see what happens. If nothing else I am good for dinner or a movie with no catch. What do you think?
