Date men from United States / California / Hayward, 58 year old

Date single man from United States. I recently relocated back to the bay area from Southern California. I have been a staff pharmacist / neonatal intensive care pharmacist in the Santa Cruz area for 10 years. Then took a job in Southern California as a Director of Pharmacy for a year. I became home sick and recently relocated back to the bay area. I am presently a staff / clinical pharmacist at a local hospital. I have a nice out going and vibrant personality.I enjoy the forest, the mountains,and the ocean.I train with weights 2 to 3 times a week, I work with a fitness trainer twice per week. We work on core and aerobic conditioning. I live a very healthy life style which includes physical health, emotional health and spiritual health. I work on having complete balance in my life.I am an animal advocate. I believe that animals need protection and care. I am also very devoted to my profession.
I make a wonderful friend and colleague. I am generally calm and entertaining, and always dedicated and reliable. I have a traditional streak. Home, family, job, and community are very important to me. I am sympathetic, cooperative, hard working, and I believe I display a good deal of common sense. I enjoy developing social relationships. I am very fun and outgoing in social environments.
A perfect match is someone whom I can make friends with * she would be a partner and best friend. I think that two people seeking a relationship should become good friends at first . I believe becoming friends first allows communication to evolve more completely.
Something that I think would be fun from a date is to learn new things. In reading some of the profiles - I would enjoy learning from them and showing someone some of the things I do. I like fine dining, theater(like plays), and home movies (I have a nice home theater that I watch movies on). I also enjoy train rides, hikes at yosemite, and especially laughter. My list is endless. I am very good with children. I do not have any of my own. But I can change diapers, teach a young man how to play ball, heal and comfort ouies to hurt feelings.
But most of all - I do think that I am a stable, loyal, very caring, empathetic, and understanding person that can offer alot in any type of relationship. One last thing before I go. I still believe in chivalry.
