Date men from United States / California / El Segundo, 49 year old

Date someone special from El Segundo, United States. I believe that I work and play well with others. I've certianly never been accused of being a bully. Nor have I ever been a door mat. Well, I suppose I'm a bit co-dependent but in a good way if there is such a thing. I suppose if you're the object of my desire it could be a good thing?
I'm an average Joe. Actually, I'm an average John. My parents were not the most creative of folks when it came to the naming of children thing! I suppose it could have been worse. They could have named me Horatio or something. It's always good to look for the blessings in life I guess.
I truly enjoy laughing and having fun! Are there people that don't? I'm sure that there are. I'd rather not have anything to do with them and that includes your lovely self if your are a permanent grouch. We wouldn't get along.
I'm trying to drag my carcass back into the gym after a two year hiatus. I should be starting in the next couple of weeks. I'm sick of hearing my toilet cry when I enter my bathroom. Poor thing. I enjoy hiking on the local trails, but it's been a few years since I've done that activity. My hiking boots give me this forlorn look. I'm sure that they sympathize with the toilet.
For the past several months, I've been trying to tame my brand new state of the art bowling ball to behave. I'd like to return to my pre-marriage average. But this particular ball gets its jollys from making me look like an utter buffoon. Which isn't too hard, by the way. I'm keeping up with my 13 year old daughter so I suppose things could be a lot worse!
Speaking of my daughter. She's a real kick. She's not a hellion not a good two shoes. So, she's normal and has a good sense of humor. I have an excellent relationshiop with my former wife who is also my friend. No drama!
I love traveling. I've been to Europe twice and I'm looking forward to going many more times. I've also been all over these here United States, Canada and Mexico. Some of the exotic places I've been you ask? Yuma, Modesto, Tacoma, Sault Ste. Marie, Needles, Alton IL, San Antonio, Detroit, Edison NJ, Reno, Bend OR...the list goes on and on.
I do go to Las Vegas more than a few times in a year. But I consider that more of a hobby rather than travel. Would you like to come with?
There are all kinds of other things that I like and dislike. But I'll leave something for the future! Oh, I absolutely hate string and green beans. I will not eat them with a fox, (including your lovely self) I will not eat them in a box, blah, blah, blah.
I'm looking for a kindred spirit who appreciates taking the road less traveled once in a while. Someone who is quirky and has a sense of humor. Or, humour if you are Canadian, eh.
I'm a romantic. I'd like to spend my life with one as well. I'm neither a serial nor cereal dater and I'm terrible with games. I'm in search of a relationship with someone that is seeking the same. My ultimate goal is an exclusive long term relationship that leads to marriage.
I'm an open book. Ask me anything you like and I'll give you an honest, non-boiler plate, answer.
Be well.
