Date men from United States / California / Morro Bay, 56 year old

Date a man from California, United States. I am an easy going hard working guy with a positive outlook on life. I am originally from Holland but have lived here for the last 26 years or so. I grew up in the flower bulb trade and that’s what brought me to California. What was ones a romantic and wonderful business to be in has become another corporate monster and therefore five years ago I decided to make a career change. I quit and started my own little home improvement service. Together with my son we go to work each day and when it’s all done our customers are happy. Doing more than what you promise and show up on time are two factors in making it all work and that’s what I expect from people around me. Something kind of hard to find here in California
Currently I am looking into buying a sail boat. Growing up in Holland that’s what I used to do and now that the kids are grown sailing is one of the things on my bucket list.
Besides hiking my roots always go back to growing stuff so I love to come home and puddle around my garden. Or I just take my bicycle around town and on my way home I grab a beer at my favorite waterhole down the street.
First date? No pressure- a simple dinner or lunch. Attraction is immediate or not, so the date can have a life of its own and continue or we can shake hands and call it a day after the first hour. I'm not big on month long e-mailing to get to know someone- I prefer face to face contact. Words and nuances can be misconstrued so I believe seeing and hearing a person is the most important step to getting to know them.

Meet single man from California, United States. I just moved from Solvang to Morrow Bay for work and starting a new phase in my life.
I consider myself to be a true Renaissance Man. Well educated, with a doctorate in law, but can still repair or build just about anything. I am a gentleman who enjoys the outdoors, be it sailing, camping, cycling, kayaking, or driving along the coast. I am looking for someone who would like share the wonders of the natural world with me. I am a get it done type of person. Be careful what you ask for when your around me. You probably will get it. I am looking for someone who is emotionally available and real.
I am romantic and level headed. Ok there is a wild side but it’s reserved for play time. I live a healthy lifestyle, not vegan, but I try to eat organic. Currently on the cave man diet. I enjoy cooking. I use locally grown minimally processed foods. I try to live as green as possible without going overboard.
As far as drinking, I said never but I do sip some wine once in a great while. I know many local vintners, so the occasional taste test is obligatory.
I have 2 young children who now live with my ex most of the time. My ex and I are on good terms and share custody.
If you are real, available, and balanced, drop me a line. PS: NO Photo, no response. You can see me, it's only fair that I get to see you.
PPS: I am no longer a paid member.
