Date men from United States / California / Crescent City, 55 year old

Date someone special from United States. Time to take a breather for a while. I look forward to seeing you at Rite Aid or Starbucks!
First of all, my intent here is to find that special person to spend the rest of my life with. I will expect us to connect with one another on a very deep level and, if that scares you, then you will probably want to look elsewhere. I am NOT interested in dating, unless it is for the purpose of learning more about one another and seeing where it leads from there. I am NOT a serial dater and have no desire to spend time with other serial daters. Though some enjoy that sort of thing, I am not one of them. I do, however, enjoy group activities (e.g., dancing) and would probably enjoy accompanying you to such an event.
I am not interested in sexual intimacy outside of a committed relationship, and don't believe in calling it "intimacy" unless you are able to connect on more levels than just sexually. I am a very passionate person and enjoy sex just as much as (probably more than) the next guy. I believe there are many other dimensions on which to connect intimately and that sex before its time can just muddy the waters, blinding us to more important realities.
I have spent time with those who still have children at home and, though I am an empty-nester, have thoroughly enjoyed that experience. I enjoy the company of those of every age, and children will always have a special place in my heart. They seem to readily recognize the love that I have for them and have little problem warming up to me. If children are still a focus and priority in your life (as they should be), I would embrace that and would not expect to replace a relationship they may have with their father.
Finally, I do not enjoy breaking other's hearts and, in my willingness and desire to love others, tend to get heartbroken rather easily. I am not a wimp, but I am not heartless either and will not want to get involved with you if your intentions are not sincere. We have all met people here, and on other dating sites, who have lost touch with what these sites are supposed to be about and have, instead, gotten hooked on all the attention that they can provide. If YOU are one of those people, please admit it to yourself, get help if you need to, and please don't continue playing with other people's hearts. These are real people you are dealing with, and we are not here for your entertainment. And please do not involve me, and others like me, in your games.
Okay, now that I've gotten all that off my chest. LOL! Some of the things others have said about me include being intelligent and witty, humorous (I will make you laugh), honest, engaging, fun, passionate, energetic, loving, compassionate, open, giving, ambitious, and a "great catch." But I am not a pushover or by any means desperate. I am very content in life, though I do firmly believe that life is MUCH better when it is shared by two people who are experiencing a deep, committed, reciprocating love. If that is what you are seeking as well, then maybe it is time that we met.
Wishing us all the best,
Doug
