Date men and women from United States / California / Napa, 61 year old

Date people from Napa, United States. I'm a fun loving man looking for an honest, sincere and outgoing woman. I think it is important to be a gentleman to a woman and show respect by having manners and always making sure your attention is given to her. I'm definitely not a couch potato. I enjoy staying home and like you I also enjoy getting out and exploring our world.
What is most important to me it to find my best friend and someone to share my life with. I prefer making a special meal from Bon Appetite to eating fast food but diversity is the spice of life, teach me to love something new! I take care of my self, you should too but I am not that demanding....really.
Why contact me? I am really nice and sincere. I work out regularly and eat to stay healthy. I am gainfully employed and stuffing money under the rug for the next down turn :) I am very easy going. Let’s have fun together. You definitely will not be bored. Are your pictures from the 21st Century? Please do not write if you smoke or you are out of the Bay Area or you are pretending to live in the Bay Area
So many, too many on line....I can not find you without a little help, this is not hide an seek. Help me find you. Write me.

Meet men and women from Napa, United States. I have lived a satisfying, rewarding life. I am grateful. In the high-end world of yachting, I have had to be poised, gracious, witty. I've had to solve problems before they happen. I have had to be very fit, trim, stylish or my career would have been over. I was able to earn the respect of all who know me. I am at home in Napa now looking for a more balanced, settled existence. I do not like pretentiousness; rather simple things please me. A caring, devoted relationship is one of my priorities now. Family values, character, integrity are the force behind the choices I make. I am seeking a man whose values, character, integrity are integrated into his life. Sincerity is especially important to me; big egos do not work. I am a nurturing, caring, fun person by nature. I would like these qualities in a partner. Also, I am a hopeless romantic; unable to give up on the idea that an endearing, enduring lifelong love affair can happen. I watched my parents adore each other their entire lives. I yearn to give my love, affection, loyalty to the right man. I will not settle nor compromise. I will compromise with the right man - one only. You will be compassionate, passionate, considerate, kind, caring. When you kiss me, I will feel fireworks! I expect you will have the same reaction from me.

Friends say that I smile frequently, am a good person and care about people, But there is so much more: although I see myself as shy and reserved, once someone gets to know me, I really come out of my shell. I'm looking for someone to have fun with and has agreat sense of humor. A typical summer day might be to watch the Giants in TV (or in person if I'm lucky) or to play or practice bocce ball.
I am looking for a long-term relationship but not necessarily marriage. But if the right guy comes along, that could change.

Date a soulmate from Napa, United States. Looking for the companionship of a kind, intelligent, honest man who is strong enough in himself that he can afford to be gentle with others. He'll enjoy the outdoors, trying new things, adventure, travel, but he'll also value intellectual and cultural pursuits, good conversation, intimacy (emotional and otherwise), cozying up by the fire. Friendship first, then we'll see. Honesty and integrity are important to me. I like hiking (Yosemite is my favorite cathedral), yoga, physical activity, being outdoors, reading, good conversation, art, music, theater, traveling anywhere, poking around in little sidestreets, experiencing things that are new to me. I get a kick out of people, all the things about us that are the same, and all the things that are different. I like to try new things, to learn, to grow. I'm a dreamer with a practical streak. I tend to see the positive in a situation and prefer to be around people who do the same.

Meet people from California, United States. Life has become less about the goal and more about the moment. My days find me working as a nurse, gardening, painting and spending time with my family. My career has opened the door to understanding most people and painting sets the stage for balance in a busy world. Traveling is always appreciated.....from hotels to camping, international to our local shoreline. Distant travel has taken me to Hawaii, (several times and most of the islands) Peru, Bolivia, Costa Rica and Canada. One highlight held vivid in my mind is kayaking with the orca whales off of Vancuver Island. Unlbelievable and I would do it again in a minute! October found me in Nepal, touring and supporting medical efforts that are linked from Sonoma. Recently glancing through a travel book about great drives through the US my interest sparked. Merging explorations like these throughout the year would be great fun. Added compainionship would highlight any experience!!! My sails have been set and there are clear skies ahead. Symbolically speaking I would rather be one who jumps into the water than sit on the shore. In reality, being in the water is good as well. Warm water preferred.
As for many people writing here at Match.com, writing a picture in words that carries the possibility of creating an accurate perception of my essence and energy is an ominous task. I am a busy person, sometimes difficult to catch yet my ability to dedicate and relate to is strong. My personality type has been described as an intimacy junky and supportive confidant. In relationship I am looking toward encouragement, appreciation and kindness...both in giving and receiving. I would feel comfortable with a person who understands presence and affection, freedom and flexibility. Each person contributing a dedicated energy that can enhance two people together and nurture individually when apart. Although my life is open and alive, the unique celebrations that can only occur between two accepting people would be valued and appreciated.
