Date men and women from United States / California / Gold River, 66 year old

Date single man from California, United States. My friends would say that I'm witty and good at trivia. I like to think of myself as reasonable and fair-minded. I'm active and enjoy hiking (w/picnic lunch), biking, sailing, and weekend getaways. A perfect date might be wine tasting in Amador county (remember Napa 20 years ago) followed by a leisurely dinner and conversation...or dinner at home (I can cook) and a movie...or exploring the Sierra with fly rod and wine. I'm very proud of my two grown children and now I have twin grandkids. I'm a CPA by profession and up until ten years ago owned a transportation logistics company. Started life as a hard-core republican but have mellowed out and am liberal on many issues. I'm a pretty easy going guy who appreciates the things a loving woman can bring to a relationship. I'm looking forward to meeting you.This part is difficult. When I bought my first house I told the realtor that it had to have a fireplace...she said "fine, take a look at these." I bought the third house in the group. It was a nice little three bedroom brick and of course it had no fireplace...but I knew I liked it when I saw it and it was a great house. Go figure. So if you're a happy person with your baggage packed away and I look interesting to you then you'll probably look interesting to me. We can discuss it over coffee.

Meet men and women from California, United States. Being sincere, kind, considerate, open and honest (speaking from truth) are traits highly valued by me. I’m looking for someone that is grounded, self-secure, has a positive sense of humor (not sarcasm or insulting), knows and loves himself, is in good health…body, mind and spirit. No drugs, no smoking, no one-night stands. Daily prayer and meditation is very important to me.
Home and family is where my heart is…and my grandson brings the joy of my life. I enjoy spending time with family and friends cooking, going out to dinner (I love exploring new restaurants), and other ideas. I currently belong to an Italian cooking group that gets together monthly enjoying healthy, delicious meals prepared by the group along with great conversation and vino, of course. Someone that loves Italian people and food is a must.
I like to read for information and about ways of living a happier, healthier life. One of my favorite things to participate in is good conversation over coffee on a range of subjects. I also love the ocean and traveling to the coast…especially walking barefoot in the sand with the waves coming in at places like Big Sur, Carmel, Monterey and, of course, Europe. I enjoy going for picnics, touring local wineries, listening to and experiencing music (live/recorded), watching movies (non-violent), live theater, and am open to trying new activities/adventures. It is also important to me to exercise and enjoy taking long walks (there are great nature trails by the American River).
I love life, I love myself and have been very blessed to live a rich and meaningful life. I enjoy romance: fresh flowers, candles and music are near me always…and of course the love of my life right there by my side, matched in love and chemistry, would be “La Dolce Vita” for me.

Date someone special from California, United States. I'm a retired high school and community college business teacher with an outgoing personality. To describe myself, I would say I am sincere, caring, kind, generous, sensitive, spontaneous, and a lot of fun! Think I'm a great communicator, and also a very good listener. Have a wonderful family--2 beautiful grown married daughters, 3 grandsons and 2 granddaughters. Emotonally and financially independent, enjoy short weekend getaways, and longer travels. Hawaii is a favorite spot, also enjoy Carmel/Monterey, Palm Springs, Lake Tahoe, and San Diego. Started playing golf 10 years ago and love it! Even got a hole in one last summer!! (But have only broke 100 a few times!!) Love the theatre, movies, concerts, the ocean and the mountains, and most of all, family and good friends. Enjoy music (soft rock, oldies, rock 'n' roll (who doesn't??) :o) some jazz, a little country, sound tracks, etc.) and playing my car stereo REALLY LOUD! :) I am easy to talk to and comfortable in most any environment. Like to jog, play golf, walk, outdoor activities, boating and water activities, some sporting events, love live theater and movies, enjoy entertaining at home, and relaxing with popcorn and a video. Like to dance, am very social, but enjoy quiet one-on-one time also. Looking for an occasional golf partner, dinner/movie companion, good friend, best friend, and who knows?? My ideal match would be someone who has a good personality, loves to laugh and joke but knows when to be serious, is easy to talk to, and a good listener also. He likes to travel, enjoys weekend getaways, and wants a lady in his life to share in his activities also. He plays a little golf (or a lot!), likes the theatre, dining out, having friends in, dancing (at least a little bit) small parties, the sun, pool, the ocean, the mountains, and just staying home watching a movie and cuddling!! He is looking for a one-on-one relationship, is honest, sincere, caring, sharing, and just a fun-type guy. He will treat his lady like a princess and enjoy being treated like a prince. No game playing, just open and honest communication. I know he's out there... sound like you??
