Date men and women from United States / California / Indian Wells, 76 year old

Date someone special from Indian Wells, United States. I've been alone over 17 years and I am really not lonely, but think a nice man in my life would be a plus! To be honest, I don't know if I really want someone in my life 24/7......At this point, I think I'd prefer someone who is content to live in his house, me in mine, with frequent visits back and forth.....I really do enjoy my privacy , and I'm hoping to meet someone who also doesn't feel the need to be joined at the hip. The man who might spark my interest would be very self confident and successful and may still be working. If he's retired, I hope he has lots of his own interests and doesn't think following me to the grocery store would be fun! Doing things together and having similar interests is important, but I also believe it's healthy to have separate interests. Although I sold my business several years ago, I still am self employed and love what I do. I am financially independent. I keep myself fit by daily exercise and yoga.. A perfect day is one when I can putter in my garden and not have to put my "face on". Chemistry is important to me, but I've pretty much given up on finding that again!I am "turned off" by men with hairpieces, bad comb-overs and white patent leather shoes with matching white belts and a chest full of chains! Although I only have one cat, I am suspicious of someone who does not like animals. I seem to have settled into a comfortable "rut" of being single and I suppose it will take someone special to push me out of it. In the meantime, a "special friend" for movies etc. could be fun, even if it is not a "romance". And oh yes.....finding someone who can still drive at night would be a definate plus!!
I should also say that I believe the man I meet and relate to should live in the Coachella Valley - between Palm Springs and Indio areas.....it just doesn't make sense at "our age" to be attempting a long distance relationship.....I'd not be comfortable with a date that then had to spend 2 hours on the freeway heading back to his home. Let's keep it simple.
And one more thing.....the three pictures (one with son, one with daughter and one with sister) are recent...taken Sept. 2011.....the profile picture is 6 years old.....no highschool year book ones but can't find one of "just me" taken recently.
