Date men from United States / California / Laguna Niguel, 73 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I was born in the Netherlands, had a Dutch father and English mother. I came to the U.S. in 1962, and became a U.S. citizen in 1969. I have been always active in sports, i.e. golf, tennis, sailing, cricket, and soccer.
I have also devoted a lot of time to church and community clubs. As I have grown older, and since my retirement, nine years ago, some of these activies are no longer pursued of course.
My nature is loving, warm and nurturing and I love a cozy atmosphere, as well as a good dinner by candlelight, either at home or in a restaurant.
My ideal candidate will, like me, be quite intelligent, trustworthy and faithful. She will also view integrity as a sacred good.
Her mindset is quite open; she is most of all warm, loving and a liberal free thinker, who is not shy to show her true emotions. She'll feel (as I do) that a true bond cannot form and be sustained without much emphasis on effective, mutual communication. She has the empathy and understanding to understand multi-cultural differences.
She'll be honest in communicating with me about herself. Her appearance is average to vey nice. She won't be the Botox type and dislike things artificial.
Chances are that she has tried this (internet) dating before, and currently might believe that there is no man who will meet her expectations.

Meet single man from California, United States. I am youthful for the years that I have spent on this earth. I have deep respect for people that are honest, out front and don't play games. I am for the most part an easy going person but stand strong for what I believe in. I spent 28 years in the law enforcement field. My politics are conservative but I am willing to listen to other peoples opinions. I am financially stable and own my own home. I love to spend time near the ocean and bike ride there at least twice a week, weather permitting. I hope to find that special lady that shares some of the same interest that I do. I realize that we all have different likes and dislikes.
Please, post fairly recent photos.
