Date men from United States / California / Escondido, 50 year old

Date a soulmate from Escondido, United States. I have traveled millions of miles in the past meeting interesting people and places. Times are different now that I am divorced. I would like to share my experiences with a warm affecionate woman. Listening to how you got your travels and memories throughout your life. Myself and my CompanionLover need to have similar interests but have there own opinion. Food brings family and friends together. Cooking is my way of sharing stories with others of every day events and history lessons. Some time I like to just get crazy and try new things. Communication between each other can and should be after time just a look,
and we know the answers. I like to have fun and comedy is good for all.

Meet a man from Escondido, United States. Well here goes. I don't have a lot of dating choices in my work and the "bar or club scene" isn't my deal. Not a player. Looking for someone special that I can spend time with. I don't think i'm too bad on the eyes and try to keep myself presentable. I think my best trait is my sense of humor. I think that's important in a relationship. I can be a bit of a tease but don't worry, i can take what i dish out.

Date single man from Escondido, United States. From the mind- I'm a great guy that is looking to share the best part of life with. I love to dress up and go out or put on a swim suit and jump into the pool or the river depending on where I'm at. I can handle myself at a black tie affair or backyard BBQ. I have a small successful business which affords me a lot of time off and a comfortable living. I love to talk and get to know people and am a great judge of character. (something that is required in my work) I'm hoping to find someone that enjoys my company and I hers. I love the river, mountains and ocean. Now that was from the mind. If you want to see from the heart read below.
From the Heart- I am new to the social scene having been married since I was 18 and a father at 17. In my 20's and 30's I often heard the term "growing apart" but never thought that would be my wife and I. Then one day almost 3 years ago I sat my wife down on the couch, looked at her and said, "is this working for you". We both knew without saying a word that it was over. We had become wonderful companions and loved each other but were not "In Love" with each other. Following that came the chore of telling our children, our families and our friends of our decision to separate and eventually divorce. After 28 years of marriage it was difficult for most all of them to accept. We lived together in the same house (separate bedrooms) for a year while we took our time deciding how to split our belongings and finding her a nice place to live. She has since moved out and is comfortable in a nice home in Temecula. It gives me piece of mind knowing that she is safe and happy. I have now made my house "my house" and I feel confident and comfortable entering the dating world and looking for the person that I know I will spend that best part of my life with.
I have two children that are grown, one is married and has given me 2 of the most wonderful granddaughters a man could ever hope for, she is 32. My son, 26, recently asked his long time girlfriend for her hand in marriage and they will be married in Oct. of this year.
My father, who passed 2 years ago raised me to always treat a lady with respect. My mom never opened her car door and always had a seat pulled out for her. I have grown accustomed to the same detail and still believe in a little bit of chivalry. I enjoy a nice meal out or just picking up Roberto's and going to the beach for a sunset. I have always said that the worst dinner at home is better than the best meal out. I really enjoy vacations because my business allows me the time off. Fresh air, new places and meeting new people are so much fun. To do them with someone I care about and cares about me would just make it that much more special.
I'm looking for a friend that grows into a love, one that has some of my interests but also knows that she has a life too. A person that is open to share with me but not afraid to say, I'm going out with my friends. I'm an easy going guy and all my friends say.........................hold on for this one it may surprise you..............................."you are such a catch for a lucky lady". What else are friends supposed to say? I'm looking for the person that wants to share stories with me, a glass of wine, a nice dinner, a walk on the beach, or a cruise on the bay. Someone that loves to laugh, one that understands my since of humor and knows that I'm almost always joking, one that is genuine, honest and confident, one that wants to paint the town or stay at home and share quiet times depending on how we both are feeling. I'm looking for her. I know she is out there and when our paths cross, it will be right.
Thank you for taking the time to read a little about me. I enjoy answering emails and would love for you to send me one even if you don't see something that sparks your interest but you just feel like dropping a note. Good luck in your search for the special one that loves you like you deserve to be loved. :-)
