Date a soulmate from California, United States. I have enjoyed raising my two childern (now age 31 and 32) from their early teen years and now consider them my co-equals since they are now living and supporting themselves in the adult world. I enjoy when they now come to me for fatherly advice on the challenges of living (they sure didn't look for fatherly advise when they were teenagers!!) or just talk to me about what they are doing, because we now all do the same things. They are both married and my daughter has made me a grandfather. It is so amazing to watch my 13 month old graddaughter develop. Now I want to further enjoy my life and share it with a special person. I enjoy my work life (I'm a certified public accountant) and doing home improvements projects around my home. I am serious when I have to be but enjoy kidding around, laughter and having fun. I try to have a balanced life. I enjoy movies, concerts, some theatre and watching old movies on AMC or TCM. I enjoy talking to my friends and clients about life and current events. I like to be spontaneous and hope that you can also be spontaneous so that there can be more excitement in life. I like history and and sightseeing through old Los Angeles or other places. At times I like to just sit and listen to music. I get my exercise by doing physical labor at my home, working on monthly Habitat For Humanity projects and when I walk, I walk at a rapid pace. I am open and honest with my feelings. I avoid being pretentious because I want to be real and I want to be with real people, not phony wanabees. I approach a relationship by what I can add to it as opposed to what I can take out of it, because by giving you ultimately receive. What I want in my perfect match is a person who can be honest and has values. That you can and will share your feelings with me, whether you are happy or sad, enjoy some of the good things in life, but be just as happy with the simple things. I would like you to be positive in life - that the glass is half full not half empty. Most of all I want to be excited about you.
