Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm always headed for the light of living a good life. This time around I believe I know myself better and hope I have the wisdom to know what it is I want and need out of a relationship. She needs to be intelligent, assertive, yet vulnerable, energetic, adventurous, into long romantic nights of good food, good wine, candlelight, and music. Anyway, if there is a mutual attraction and chemistry, she will be able to work with me to build a great relationship based on good communication, trust, love, and affection. I hope that you will be the best thing that I ever found and that you will feel the same about me and that we will handle each other with care. In the meantime, we need to have some fun spending some time together, getting to know one another, and exploring the possibilities. I'm very healthy, have a lot of energy and a youthful attitude, and still have a lot of love to give to the right person. I like myself, my life, and the finer things that life can bring. I just need to find that special someone, my new best friend, with which to share those special, precious moments as well the quiet ones too; someone that has my back as I will have hers. Have kids? Not a problem as long as we make the time for ourselves. Grand kids, even better. Mine are 25 and 29 so I am experienced at raising kids and if given another chance could probably do a much better job the second time around. So if any of this interests you, drop me a line and let's start some communication and see where it goes.
Meet men and women from California, United States. First, some sarcasm:
In the 1st go 'round, I got stood-up (cost me $100 for her ticket), lied to, learned 50something women rarely reply to email, the 38-48 bunch sometimes do, and was chastised for shifting my focus to that younger group. I learned Sleeping Beauties here believe they will find Prince Charming via cyber-telepathy without benefit of interviews over coffee, that "percentage of match" has nothing to do with the "probability of response", and that sincere and polite emails often just get ignored. So, I'm past the learning curve, got the ground rules down, and know better how to proceed now, thank you. That said, the real and nice women I met make the 2nd round worth it.
Me: Safe, sane, coherent, NORMAL, stable, no debt, drama, booze, drugs, criminal record, psychoses, or misogyny, and all baggage fits neatly in the overhead compartment. I won't ask you for money, or to move in with you next week, or for you to do my laundry. Getting the idea here, ladies? (Don't think Prince Charming with a funny haircut and wearing tighty tights either. Think battle experienced knight with dents in the armor who has neither time nor inclination for nonsense).
You: Sane, NORMAL, bold enough to recognize possibilities and get out from behind the keyboard and engage with someone who falls within your general search parameters. This is the whole point, ladies. It's a process.
I'm looking for a lover (don't be coy, you are too), girl-friend and best-friend who will ride shotgun for the long haul run on the trails and trials that are ahead. (I'll handle the shotgun when you drive the stage.)
I'm retired, still busy, still work on occasion, but I have time for you in my life. I'm fit and active, but if you rumba-zoomba, hike, spin, rock climb, and wrangle alligators and then, after a tofu and seaweed lunch, hit the gym for your SERIOUS workout 7 days/week, you just might not have time for me. My loss, I'm sure.
If you have the gumption to initiate email contact, I have the common courtesy to respond back, personally, even if it's only "thanks, but no thanks". Geez, what a concept, Must be because I'm so old-school. (That was a hint, ladies).
If you are so busy and harried with your daily life that you just can't focus on any one issue long enough to get anything done, you might want to pass on by.
In my long marriage, we never had kids, by choice, never had regrets, and I later made sure I couldn't go back. This doesn't mean I hide under bridges and eat kids when they try to cross over. If you have kids, and I otherwise fit your profile, drop me a line. It won't kill ya. Really. (Just promise me the kids don't bite, and the teens will be locked in the basement..oh, did I say that? Sorry).
Ok. That's enough for now. We can talk about half-full vs half-empty glasses, embracing life, carpe diem, loving my life, moonlit walks on the beach, staring into your eyes, and other romantic things that are so often cited in here when we meet for coffee.
I may not contact you first on here....the odds are better if men let women make the first contact. If I do a drive-by flirting and compliment you on your pic or profile or whatever, please take no offense...it's not me being needy or desperate, it's me being complimentary.
Yes, my last 2 LTR's were with much younger women. Sorry, no apologies. That makes me neither a cradle robber nor a sugar-daddy. I know very well the older/younger thing isn't for every woman, but when it works it's very nice. Very nice.
Oh, I'm truly 58, but with globs of Garnier eye cream I can pass for 57, easy. I make great pasta dishes, am addicted to espresso, give a great full body massage, can drive a vacuum sweeper, and even though I do use Old Spice stuff, I promise not to act like your dad.
I presume you got the TMIMITW reference. I'm not as old, nor as interesting, but in the ballpark
So, you got past the sarcasm? Wonderful. Actually, I'm a sweety.
Date someone special from California, United States. OK, it's time to tell you how nice I am. This is difficult to accomplish without sounding like you are really full of yourself but here goes.
I am a normal (yes, really!), easy going, confident, intelligent, articulate, optimistic, sincere, and affectionate man. I am in the second phase of my adult life and hope to find that person with whom to share it. I am fine living my life alone, but I know life is more fun with a partner in crime. I enjoy the intimacy of a relationship; it's the dating part that I find challenging. I am an uncomplicated and low maintenance man with simple needs and wants, both materially and emotionally. I am a game player only on the golf course. My guacamole is legend and my margaritas are nonpareil. I have been around the block enough times and am analytical enough to know what makes me happy and recognize the things in life to avoid, such as negative thinking. A little bit of introspection is healthy, but I try not to overdo it.
I have a well developed and irreverent sense of humor. I have been encouraged by friends to try internet dating (this fact has nothing to do with my sense of humor, I hope). Will I find "The One" on this site? I don't have a clue. But I do know if I want to get out there I can use some help. I am not attempting to date a lot of women; I am just trying to identify the one who is right for me. Hopefully it will be the same for her. I tend to be optimistic about life and look for the goodness and humor in people and situations - I know there is a pony in there somewhere. I do not think I am perfect, but I am comfortable in my own skin. Baggage? Sure, I have some. It is hard not to if you have lived a few years. But it is stowed in the overhead bin or neatly underneath the seat in front of me. I consider myself to be an evolved member of the species, but I know some of my Inner Caveman still lurks under the surface. Manners are important to me and I do not tolerate poor behavior in others well.
My ideal match is an exceptional woman. She is a lady who likes to socialize, is open to trying new things (like meeting me), enjoys sports (maybe including golf?), conversation, food and wine, intimacy, and looks for that pony. Like me, you are strong, decisive, confident, outgoing and emotionally available. You understand that being happy is a choice on your part and not a happy accident. You are intelligent and enjoy expressing your opinions while at the same time you respect those whose views differ from your own. Like most people our age who have engaged life rather than having sat on the sidelines, you have experienced great joy and great sorrow and are acutely aware that our days here are numbered, so it is important to be happy starting NOW. Life, like good wine, is best when it is shared. You are looking to share life's experiences in order to make them more meaningful. You enjoy your life now, but would like to make it even better with the right man with whom you share that certain something - chemistry! You know that relationships work best when a couple walks together rather than having one partner lead all of the time. Like me, you feel like you have a lot to give to someone, but first you have to find that one, right person. You understand that a good relationship requires love but also communication, respect, and fidelity. You do not take yourself too seriously and are able to see the humor in every day events. You are a person of intellect, compassion, and integrity and your presence in my life will help me to be a better man. You enjoy giving and receiving affection to and from a man whom you trust and respect. You know that it is never too late to have a happy childhood...You firmly believe the best is yet to come.
There is a lot more to me than the above, but if this much sounds appealing to you, then I just might be your Huckleberry
