Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am adventuresome, love spending time with a woman who enjoys going out or staying home, would like to ski, travel, hug and grow with someone.
I have a great appreciation for a great woman, love to give, am prone to public displays of affection, give flowers for some of the most mundane occasssions. I recently returned from NY, took in the MOMA ( got a couple of photos), The Village, but sadly missed seeing Broadway Shows this time. I can be alone without being lonely, but would consider it incredibly good fortune to meet the right one. I spoke fluent French when I was 18, but as the saying goes, use it or lose it, so I am down to the basics now.
I prefer talking to texting, am old fashioned in that I was brought up with manners, great taste, still open doors for women, and I can only hope you'll have me at hello
It was the 50s the first time I skied and went SCUBA diving, 60s when I graduated H.S and College, 70s out of law school and came to Califronia from NY, late 70s when I flew a single engine plane, 80s went around the world in one trip, and also did barefoot water skiing, the 90s spent cherishing watching my children go from babies to people, and the new millenia brought Jui Jitsu.
My hope is that there is someone out there who can start a new exciting and lasting episode to my life.
I love a woman with a zest for life, a quest for communication, affection, romance, and my being able to say, I am glad you picked me."
Meet single man from California, United States. I am retired and financially independent, and I live alone in my own home within a block of the beach and the bike-path.
I am in excellent health and physically active.
I'm still optimistic about finding my lifetime companion, so...
If you are a woman who is honest, with a strong sense of humor, and who also enjoys attending food and wine events, and/or loves going to the opera and classical music concerts, please let me know.
Maybe it will be the first step toward a life-long relationship.
My primary photo was taken in November, 2009, as was the photo of me in the foyer of The Metropolitan Opera. The others were taken over the past four years.
I celebrated (?) my "Medicare birthday" in December, 2009, and I began my journey down Route 66 (age-wise) in December, 2010, so my stated age is correct.
I believe in honesty, and I hope you do, too.

Meet men and women from Hermosa Beach, United States.
Communication is essential: with words -- generous, honest, supportive; open, funny, warm - especially with each other; or non-verbal -- a look, a touch, a gesture.
Patience is a gift; patience with each other's imperfections, and closer because of it.
Evolving: we both know we aren't "done;" we will still dream, grow, and learn -- to focus on what draws us together, not what separates.
I have dear friends and family, yet enjoy spending time on my own. Though I can take care of myself, I want more -- a True Companion, friend, lover -- a good man. An honest, loving, gentle man. With children, or not. But a passionate man. A man who wants one last love; a fair and fully conscious, committed relationship.
Of course, the trick is to find each other. So here we are.
I can't imagine life without music -- of all kinds -- folk songs on a worn guitar, chamber music or concerti on ancient instruments; blues, jazz, or rock -- from San Francisco to Mississippi; Cuba to Greece. Gardening in the warm earth; preparing and eating healthy food; sipping Mediterranean wine or Chinese tea. Movie magic -- classic and current, foreign and domestic, fiction and documentaries. And there's live theater, museums and architecture; poetry, and the ocean. The sun and the moon. And the stars. There's love, laughter, playfulness; intimacy and passion; tenderness, gentleness, teasing, touching, laughing, caressing, kissing.
As we get to know one another, you'll discover my sense of humor and my style; how hiking in spring meadows and woods, walking the beaches everywhere collecting rocks and shells; creating pottery, or exploring antiquities in places such as Turkey, Greece, France, Italy, the old Yugoslavia - are some of the peaks of my life. I crave that connection with past cultures and civilizations, and expect to continue -- it could be to distant places, or the Grand Tetons, the Hudson River Valley or the Great Smokey Mountains. Hopefully we'll both love to travel, and enjoy it moreso together, wherever we go.
What marvelous things will I discover about you? Will you enjoy talking into the night? Staying in or going out? To a local farmer's market or to our favorite cafe, or for a drive along the Coast, a hike through old growth Redwoods, or a walk in the Dordogne rain? I don't know yet, but I will.
What I do know is that we'll appreciate each others' tenderness. Our actions will match our words. And most of all, we both have a dream of one last long, deep and loving relationship. And we know we can make it happen.
Date someone special from Hermosa Beach, United States. I am an upbeat, moderate to liberal , outgoing, very affectionate and creative woman. I've been told that I am a GREAT kisser. I have been on a journey of personal growth and spirituality for many years which has freed me of my "old emotional baggage". It has afforded me the ability to create my own inner peace and happiness. I have a natural artistic ability. It shows itself in many ways, one of which is the way I design and decorate my home. I have a wonderful relationship with my son and daughter both 38years old. I enjoy the theater, music (classical, pop, jazz, theatrical) and anything to do with art. I also love ballroom dancing. I have done extensive traveling through out my life, and would surely enjoy more with the right person.I like to snorkel when I swim with wild dolphin( I just returned from my 6th swim with them. This time off the coast of Bimini in the Bahamas), bike along the strand and even ride a boogie board in the summer. I like my own company, but prefer to be with that special fella or entertain family or good friends. I've made my home a safe and comfortable haven for "my man". I am so excited I have a 5 yr old granddaughter and an 18 month old grandson. Oh what a miracles; I am in heaven. If you have kids or grandkids, I'd love to share them. Come enjoy life and laugh and grow with me.I am seeking that special man to be my partner in life. One who has like interests and is able to share himself both physically and emotionally. I hope he would desire an intimate monogamous relationship filled with communication and lots of laughter. I would love it if he could to be playful as well as serious, is a liberal thinker and has a love of life and family. and a desire to learn and grow together. Hopefully he has the time and means to go away for a long weekend now and then or take a trip out of the country. I am a romantic (if you haven't already guessed) I live by the ocean the beauty of a sunny day or a sunset often moves me to tears- it's meant to be shared- will you be the one? : )
