Date men from United States / California / Laguna Niguel, 62 year old

Date single man from Laguna Niguel, United States. I am told I don't look my age. My real age is 68, but I "adjusted" it above so as to be included in more searches by women that might otherwise not have seen my profile. I really feel like I'm in my forties.
I'd like to find that special woman to with whom to share the best. A woman who appreciates the finer things in life as do I. I've worked hard all my life and now it's time to enjoy the fruits of my effort. I'd prefer you be affectionate as I am very affectionate and very romantic myself. Must be the Italian/French part of me. I also was raised to be a gentleman and treat my woman with respect. I love surprising her with spur of the moment gifts. Feisty is OK too. I like the challenge!
I'd like a woman who enjoys travel both here and abroad, enjoys life, whether it's a formal occasion or just kicking back at home or walking on the beach. Anything outside is good for me. I love to cook and am pretty good around the BBQ or the stove. Let's pick a special wine from my cellar and invite our friends. As a side note, I will help with the clean up!
Family is important to me and I don't take responsibility lightly. I have two children and just became a grandpa. I love children and family and will welcome yours as though they were my own.
I would like to give back to the world some of the gifts it has given me. My church, Pacific Mammal Center and City of Hope are a couple of my favorite charities. Doing for others is a real high.
I am semi-retired so I can now schedule whatever is interesting. Italy, Croatia, London, Caribbean, Napa, New Orleans, NYC, Las Vegas,Hawaii, just a few of my favorite places. Let's add yours to the list or just do them all over again and make our own memories.
My expectations are really very simple. I want to spend the rest of my life with my best friend and lover, cuddling, kissing, walking on the beach and traveling and just anticipating your approaching footsteps. Aaahh, love is wonderful. Like me you should be a happy person that enjoys life every day, just not by yourself. Ultimately, I just want a friend and lover with whom to enjoy life. Life is meant to be shared.

Let me hear from you if you are divorced or widowed and, like me, want to find someone special with whom to enjoy life and grow young. Let's make the best of what's left, but together. Together is what it's all about.

Meet someone special from Laguna Niguel, United States. You say tomayto and I say tomato
....no need to call the whole thing off; I'll still love you.
British chap, now a Yank after years studying the natives here in the Colonies. I regularly donate blood to help others become Anglo-American. I designed cars in Europe, Detroit and SoCal, then founded my art business, but wonderful, loving kids are my greatest achievement.
I love life and thank God for my blessings every day: family, friends, health, career, home, pet, places I've been, people I've met, etc. I used to be tall, dark and handsome; luckily I'm still tall....
Raised in the rain and greenery of England, I flowered in the warmth and beauty of California. I grew up in a flat, nondescript suburb of London with a 20 yard view across the street of brick houses. A few mies away was a small hill. Wildlife? Blackbirds, maybe a hedgehog.
Now I wake up to blue skies and sunshine, sea breezes and swaying palm trees, red bougainvillea and boats on the ocean, and end the day with beautiful sunsets over mysterious San Clemente Island, 40 miles away. I can hear the mission bells in San Juan and the waves at Monarch Beach. I see humming birds flying backwards, eagles soaring high, and on a local walk view the majestic San Gabriel Mountains -- three times higher than anywhere in England.
I mean, could life be any different?!
I bring a loving, caring nature and great sense of humor to our relationship. Honesty, integrity, loyalty and high self-esteem are the foundation of my character and yours. Thank God we are authentic and have the faith and commitment to stay happily together for the rest of our lives. Our relationship is so important that you and I both put �we’ before �me’.
I love your good humor and the way you laugh! I really appreciate your femininity, kindness, intelligence, genuine warmth and affection; your personality, positive attitude and playful imagination. I like that you are touchy-feely, easy to talk with, and can deal effectively with any disagreement we may have without spoiling our affection for one another.
Strong women can be admirable. Margaret Thatcher was terrific ...but I don't want to live with someone like that! I chose you because you are not afraid to look and act like a girl, and you prefer dresses to jeans. How nice! I like your curves too -- I’m glad you're not skinny like many try to be.
We will enjoy love, fun and devotion, and a wonderful rapport with each other.
See you soon,
Peter
Please note: I'm looking only for someone who lives in Orange County. I will not respond to contact from overseas, out of state, or out of county. Sorry!
