Date a soulmate from Grass Valley, United States. I'm a social services professional who is recently retired. What am I? Depends on who you talk to--some say funny, smart, caring and devoted to discovering the positives in life, people, environment. I do easily accept constructive criticism when I "go over the edge" in my opinions. I'm an ENFP in temperment and typically my best friends are either SP's or NT's. Have been certified as an Advanced Trainer in Nurtured Heart Approach.
I've been single several years and am "comfortable in my own skin". I am certainly discriminating about who I will let into my life--better to have a few truly great friends than many acquaintances. Try not to panic about my marital status--it's only about helping with medical insurance.
Children, puppies and kittens invariably have me laughing and melting inside.
I am most proud of my children, my professional accomplishments and skill on the slopes (as long as my knees last!).
Ladies, I am looking for the moment I first see you and the universe stops for a second. After that, the first touch, the first embrace, the first time your scent fills my head and leaves it reeling....ah, the intoxication of you! First kisses, dances, laughs--I want it again just as you do.
Now, a word or two about this online meeting arena--seems to me that there are no easy paths to finding Ms. Right. As always, we have to play a game of numbers; meeting many who are good people but don't "strike the spark". And, it's tough when we have only a few pictures and words to go by; unfortunately, communication is only about seven percent words and the rest is all nuance, tone, body language, etc.
That being said, I don't typically respond to winks; if you have some interest in me please take the time to say a few words in an e-mail. If I have a mutual interest in you we will move forward to more discussion and a potential face-to-face. Then we can both discover whether the pheromones match up ;-) and we go forward to defining the relationship or just simply have a nice chat and then say good-by. Really, this can be a low risk, high reward endeavor.
Meet someone special from Grass Valley, United States. I like to think of myself as a Godly person, attend church regularly & help/encourage others. Was married for 24 yrs then met last wife at church. Married for 4 yrs before her untimely death. Enjoy working in yard, fixin' stuff around house, attend-ing social functions, cooking for that special some-one (I can also be great sous-chef). Not a sea food eater but love staying at the ocean. Very hot blooded, passionate, huggy type guy. Enjoy giving & receiving a little touch and also holding hands. Believe both people in a relationship should be whole & self sufficient and come together as one. I tend to be a bit witty as my brain is on 24/7. Communication & expressing yourself is very important to me. Being honest & truthful is part of me. Relationalships take time & trust so Let's walk & talk together.
Date a man from Grass Valley, United States. I've retired from my first career, and now turning my attention to my passions. I enjoy hiking, kayaking, wilderness adventure, and cultural diversity. Would like to travel the world. I'm not a fashion snob, and am frugal. I look for a fit, adventurous, but responsible companion who shares similar interests and passions, who knows that quality is not always determined by brand name or price, and does not need to be showered with extravagant gifts.
Meet single man from Grass Valley, United States. I am a hard worker and tend to be very focused. Some 18 years ago I decide to retire and focus on what were my passions (Macintosh computer consultant built a successful business--Then Day Trader in the stock market). Both have been successes and allowed me to visit Europe and Thailand twice in the last ten year. I also go to Vancouver BC twice a year and when possible make trips to Hawaii. Both speak to my heart.
I love the arts, was President of the Nevada County Arts Council. Music really speaks to me, Classical, Mowtown, RB 60's, 70's, World, Celtic etc. Dance WOW, some 15 years ago I stated a tradition, to celebrate my birthday I would take my daughter and friends to see The Alvin Ailey American Dance Troupe. I love all of the MGM Classics. I dance in a local Halau (Hawaiian).
I play racquetball 3 or 4 times a week, love to play cards, drink red wine. I love bargains, getting somethings I really like 50% off. I tend to buy what I want when it is on sale. I like my money to go a long way. I live simply, but with comfort.
I love to cook, and friends tend to like it. While visiting San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, I finally got a handle on how to dance salsa Yea....I love to dance but somehow salsa was challenging..
I have been blessed to be able to do what I truly love, great health, some wonderful friends and enough serious challenges/mistakes to keep me growing.
There is so much that I do not know and have not done. I wonder what that may be? I hope the lady that comes into my life will love some of what I love and love some of what I do not know. She may open new doors for me.
I consider myself a gentleman and therefore, would like a lady that I can assist and nurture and be assisted and nurtured. I am a touchy, feeling, sexual kind of guy so I love to play and do tend to have strong passions and lots of energy.
