Date a soulmate from Grand Terrace, United States. Things that make me smile are babies and puppies. I looking to find a woman that wants a longtime relationship and thats into pleasing her man as I will be doing for her! I'm not into serial dating or headgames, I do not like to argue and if problems arise I've leared to get over it quickly and move on. Love at first sight is great, if not chemistry will work, if not initial attraction can play an important factor and grow into a meaningful relationship. Communication is at the top of the list and I will stirve to keep us on the same wavelength for happiness and fun. I served as a U.S. Marine during the Viet Nam conflict and was brought up to believe in chivalry, therefore was taught to protect my woman. I been called a mans man often and I like that as I wouldn't like to labeled as a wimp.I was raised near the beach and surfed most summer days when going thru highschool. I love all water sports and just really enjoy doing anything outdoors. I like to travel and have been to Hawaii two times and would love to go back again soon. Dinning out and trying new restaurants is fun. Day trips, weekend getaways, exploring, and travel are important things that brighten my llife. I like to dress casual and comfortable but if the occasion calls for it wiil wear a suit. I take pride in the way I look and would expect that from anyone I meet. I have a daughter and grandchildren that live about an hour away, they love to come stay a few weekends out of the summer to enjoy swimming and the tasty BBQ's I have for them. I enjoy get togethers with family and friends and will be looking forward to expanding that list when meeting yours! Hoping to hear from you soon!
