Date men from United States / California / Galt, 57 year old

Date single man from California, United States. -- 07/14/2012 - Currently involved. Thank you for your interest. --
Me: Looking for an intelligent minded person who is not afraid of communication and taking the effort to build a relationship. I am not looking for a "weekend friend with benefits" and I am actually really divorced! I am looking for someone to share my life with and to have her share her life with me. No tricks, no secrets, no alternative plan, no games. I have been hurt before and I must risk getting hurt again to find that which I seek. I am willing to "put it all out there" for someone special. I do not want to hurt anyone. I want to cuddle by the fire in the winter, and I want someone to shower with flowers! In other words a “soul-mate." I want to hear about her day and have her tell me how things are going. I love to listen! About the cowboy hat, I must confess I am a "poser." I was going to a Rodeo after-party. I was the photographer for the barrel racers. I like horses, but don't have any and don't ride as much as I would like to and have no one to teach me.
I have a college degree and have 2 children (boys). One lives outside the home, and the second is finishing his degree in the home sometimes. He is self-sufficient at 23. I do not want more kids as I barely survived these two! I have two younger brothers who are identical twins. Imagine the fun they had in grammar school! Yes, I could tell them apart.
I am active because of my job, and I have taught martial arts for over 20 years. I have a secure carrer and do not have any debt except my home mortgage. I also enjoy just hanging out and going for a walk in the evening. I have a small photography interest that keeps me busy in a hobby I love. No time to turn it into anything else, it’s just something I admire and enjoy. I ride mountain bikes. I don't go crazy, but it is good non-impact exercise. I also like archery and I shoot competitive pistol (IPPC). I raise, form, and arrange Bonsai. Specifically the Japanese maple. It sooths my soul and makes me happy!
I like camping (with a trailer of course!), the outdoors, motorcycle riding (Harley) and just walking holding hands. I love the beach and the ocean! I was born in San Francisco and visit it often. Yes, really, really born there! I am a talker and a listener and love both equally. I have stable job and stable career.
My friends would tell you I get along with anyone, anywhere. They would say I could walk into a room full of strangers and leave with a friend. I am wickedly sarcastic and my humor is dry. I am a smart ass! They would say I am affectionate and dote on my other half. I would be dedicated and loyal to that special someone all the days of my life if she would have me.
About Her: Loyal to a fault, truthful, direct, independent and honest. Likes the Sierra foothills, taking hikes, likes mountain lakes and the ocean! Like camping (trailer camping - the ground got too hard!), western events (Stonyford Rodeo - go every year), likes walks on the beach, working mutual projects, cooking together in the kitchen, and TALKING. Communication is big for me. Texting is also great and I will check in with you often passing along little words of love and thoughts of you. Likes long leisurely motorcycle rides along the delta into old Sac for dinner. Likes exploring and going to new places. Likes to travel. Likes gardening. She would be outgoing and likes meeting new people. I can't stay at home all the time, and due to my job and other obligations, I have social events I am required to attend. Winter is long enough to stay at home (Yes, I also like sitting by the fire just enjoying my other half and I cut split my own wood too!).
Be interested in a L.T. (long term) relationship. I had my fill of quickie flings. If you give me a chance, I will treat you like no other. I am in for the long haul and will not run out at the first sign of trouble!
Serious inquiries only. No scams. No games. *** NO OUT OF STATE PLEASE. ***

Meet a man from California, United States. I am looking for a rare jewel, a pretty woman outside who is beautiful inside. Her words, actions and deeds will reflect that beauty.
She will be fun, fit and be comfortable to be with because of her inner beauty and concern for others.
You might find me feeling the curves in the road on the way to a mountain retreat with a special lady beside me looking forward to a day of fun and adventure. Then again you might see me flowing across the dance floor in a new ballroom dance step. Or you could come along and watch me as I delight the children with a magic show or play balloon games with them at their birthday party. You would be touched watching me as I twist balloons and see the smiles that come on the children's faces as I create a special balloon sculpture just for them. If you were with me as my friend you might be lucky and hear as I have the voice of a little girl who says “this is the best day of my life”. You cannot have a better day than that.
If you were really special, you would be a Circus Circus in Nevada and be a part of clown school. There you would see the life change that happens to almost all of the students. But of course it requires a special person to serve the children.
I also edit, co-author and take photos for articles for wikihow helping to promote peace and love in the world. My life is not boring but it is exciting and filled with adventure and service. If your life is the same we might be a good match.
