Date men from United States / California / Fremont, 47 year old

Date a soulmate from Fremont, United States. OK, I'm new to the single life. I don't know the first thing about on-line dating services so please excuse any mistakes I may make.
I'm an introverted, kind hearted, hardworking, educated, healthy middle aged man (who looks younger than he is) looking for someone who's independent, attractive, intelligent, open minded but too busy to socialize or probably ever date. I'm the real deal, not a scam artist or a "player".A relationship must begin with friendship so let's get to know each other one step at a time. Who knows, you may have a laugh, make a friend, or more. If not, perhaps you would settle for a dinner companion once in a while?Yes, I have been married before (twice). If that bothers you then I fully understand and you can stop reading now and remove my profile from future searches. If you’re ok with it then read on.I have 4 kids: three grown good adult boys who do not live with me but visit occasionally, and one wonderful precious little girl who sometimes does live with me. I love my children very much. They are all wonderful human beings for whom I am proud. I'm open to being with someone who has kids or doesn't have kids. (After having four I think I'm pretty good at it!) That being said, I won't be creating more children. Too blunt? Sorry, I just don't want you to be mislead. Again, if you’re ok with it then read on.I lead a busy life (work and time with my daughter) so dating is nearly impossible. However, I'm free on Saturday nights and almost every Sunday! Perhaps when I finish renovating my house I'll have even more time?
I don't skydive, race sports cars, fly my own jet, bull ride, or hunt wild game in Africa. It's down to earth for me. Besides, why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane? I've never owned a Ferrari or Italian suit. My car is one year old and I dress well enough...French cut ok? I don't have six pack abs but I'm trim and fit. I bathe regularly and try to take good care of my teeth (you've got to love that!). Work out occasionally and will more with a good friend. Can't dance, perhaps you can teach me? Still with me? Read on...Perhaps just coffee, lunch, dinner, or a drink with some good conversation? I like taking walks and going to the movies. A museum or a park is terrific. Browsing a book store (if you can find one) is fun. Driving to a new place, listening to some new music, eating a new food, and what's wrong with cuddling up on the couch with a glass of wine and some soft music? Did i just say "cuddling"? Yes, I did. ;)Sorry ladies, I'm not James Bond, Bruce Lee, Mister Rogers, Brad Pitt, or any guy who was ever on the cover of GQ. I did get my picture in Money Magazine once...not because I had a lot of money though. They were just taking a survey of random people in Rockefeller Center. Am I bad looking? You got this far so I must be doing something right. By the way, I look better than my pictures...really.
No games, no tricks. Believe it or not there are men in this world who don't just want to have sex. I'm one of them. Intimacy is terrific but without love it's EMPTY.
So just relax! Start an e-mail conversation. I don't bite. Take a chance. Isn't that why you got on this site to begin with?
