Date men from United States / California / Martinez, 65 year old

Date single man from United States. I'm currently semi-retired but should be completely retired within the next year. I divorced 2 years ago after 20 years of marriage. I miss not having someone to share my life with. My ideal match would be someone who must like dogs, is independent, has a positive attitude about life and is willing to take the risk of a new relationship.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Looking for someone to do things with; walking, reading, cooking and conversation. I have eclectic taste in music, everything from Opera to punk rock. I especially like Blues, Folk, and good ol' Rock-N-Roll. Love to watch old movies and listen to old time radio shows. Would prefer a non-drinker and please no smokers. It is okay to burp and fart and be yourself. Want honesty but tempered with kindness.
I am a good listener and don't offer solutions unless specifically asked. "Take my advice nobody else is using it!" I am a caring person who wears their heart on his sleeve. My children have often said, "My Dad isn't like most other Dads." I am unconventional is some ways and very ho-hum in others. I have been described as a risk taker although I have never thought of myself as one.
The person inside is far more important to me than the wrapper.
