Date a soulmate from California, United States. I took early retirement in 2010 after 30 years in software development for a large financial corporation. I'm pretty active with interests and hobbies and am looking for a ladyfriend that has interests and hobbies of her own. I like aviation and am a pilot as a hobby. I used to do a lot of boating and I can sail and drive a powerboat. I'm down to earth and easy going and like to be with someone who has a similar personality. I like to get up fairly early and get a start on the day rather than hanging out into the wee hours of the night. I find I like to be around a woman that doesn't take herself too serious and can laugh at herself. Someone with a good sense of humor and someone that treats other people with kindness and respect. I've been pretty good at financial planning and preservation and am looking for someone with similar traits. I would be interested in friendship at first developing into a loving relaitonship as we get to know each other.
Meet single man from California, United States. I'm sufficiently handsome. I'm known to be extremely nice and non-controlling. I'm a lawyer, but I also have a separate business buying and selling vintage paintings. I'm looking in a low key way for someone with intelligence, wit, charm, and a beautiful face. Assuming that you possess these characteristics, I really would trade a dull half century with someone else for one great hour with you. I don't know about you, but I've experienced what it is like to kiss a sweetheart on the banks of the Seine River in Paris at night as the illuminated barges float by, and to walk along the moonlit beaches of southern Italy on the Ionian Sea. These are things which should not be done with a mate who is merely lukewarm or indifferent about the relationship. My view has always been that one should not give up his or her desires for mere convenience, or accept a somewhat unsuitable companion just because that person is nearby or easily available. Fortunately, there isn't anyone around at the moment who would have to be traded away for you. I can just strike something up with a person of interest if one happens by without having to abandon or hurt someone else's feelings. Sometimes it takes an intense effort to find such a woman, but in other cases she can appear on her own like a star in the night sky. Perhaps that could be you. Favorite City: Paris. Favorite line from poetry: "It rains into the sea, but still the sea is salt."
Date men and women from California, United States. Hi Mr. Right,
Well, the sands of time are slipping, and though I'm a very happy and self-sufficient person, there is a lot of love going to waste here.
Yes, the odds of meeting a true match online may be pretty dicey. Yet, I take heart from my dear friend, who at age 75 has recently found the love of her life. They are in total puppy love. Like being struck by lighting--it can happen. Inspires a person to feel adventurous, n'est-ce pas?
I've noticed among friends of our age (including the older 75 yr-old above), "it" generally doesn't take at the first meeting. (The Tao of Dating--yep, I'm boning up--mentions this too.) She thought he was too little. He thought she was too fat. Let's face it guys, after a life well lived, we all have our proverbial warts. (If they're not there, they've been removed, with artificial substances substituted--YECK!) Maybe the magic of making a relationship work has to do with accepting those warts in ourselves and in our partner. (I'm trying to learn something here...)
So yes, I'm ready to meet someone I can adore. A real man in search of his counterpart, a real woman. I'm tall, slim and very fit. When people meet me, they think I am sophisticated and proper. When they get to know me, they are astonished at what's really there...well, I'm not telling you here. Also have an extremely active mind, well educated, love my work, and LOVE to travel. And let's be honest here--I really do want to adore you. Which means you must love to laugh, be well-educated and passionate about something you do, as I am, and love your family. And please love Classical music, or at least have pioneering ears.
So, i'm feeling adventurous--are you? Then take a chance and write,
P.S. You have my guarantee that I look at least as good as these photos, which date from 2009-12.
Meet people from California, United States.
...intriguing intelligence, evolving consciousness, enlivening chemistry, profound appreciation, genuine acceptance. Previously I had a long description of the type of man I would want to love me and I would love but I no longer like it. I could switch gears and tell you more about me (although expressing what I want in a man revealed as much about me), but I think my header does that. I could tell you what my friends think of me but they are supposed to like me It might be more helpful to tell you what my enemies think but I'm not that foolish. I could tell you what I think of me but how reliable is that? I think what is more telling is how a man and a woman feel when they are together -- if they are truly at home with themselves when they are with one another. If a man "gets" me, is intrigued by what he gets and shows it -- and vice versa -- well, that sounds like a pretty good start. Some information that might help that happen is: I'm not very good with conservative thought, whether it's religious or political, or conservative eating habits. We may be like novels: you can tell whether it is well written within the first paragraph (sometimes first sentence). Whether you are going to enjoy it may take a little longer but requires face-to-face interaction. Thanks. Oh, I much prefer emails and only contact a person by email. Best to you.
Date a woman from California, United States. Just your regular classy, attractive, affectionate, incurably romantic gal who is ready for a long-term committed relationship. I have a quick wit and love to laugh. I'm comfortable dressing up for special occasions as well as dressing casually in jeans. My interests are varied and include films, theater, concerts, symphonies, travel, dancing, reading, fine to casual dining, being near the ocean, romance, quiet evenings at home and much more. Sorry, but camping and cats are not for me...allergic to both! I'm slender and I try to keep fit, although I have a weakness for DARK chocolate. Offer me dark chocolate...I'll follow you almost anywhere! Being affectionate is natural to you. You have a good sense of humor and try not to take life too seriously. You're open-minded, a good communicator and a good listener. You're attractive, physically fit and trim and at least 5' 9" tall. You're at a point in your life where you want to and can make a relationship a strong priority in your life.
