Date men from United States / California / Newman, 54 year old

Date a soulmate from United States. I'm a guy that has always valued family above all else. I'm honest to a fault although I'm not convinced it's a fault at all. I find it easy to laugh at my self. I'm dependable, loyal and kind. I'm a good judge of character and tend to focus on the positives in people. I love to dive into projects not scared to get my hands dirty. I like to joke and tease.
I prefer the simple things like sitting back and admiring that garden we just weeded together or holding that picture up until my arms ache as you decide the perfect spot. Simple things? Yes but with the right person, those are the things that count in life.
I like to play tennis, woodworking and DIY projects. I don't watch much TV but I do like biographies, history and documentaries.
I like to spend time with my grandson.
Your honest and strong. Independent but not afraid to lean on your partner. You would rather spend time with your family than most other activities. You communicate before assuming. You smile easily. You have a childlike fun side. Not embarrassed when you laugh out loud. Love to learn new things and share the things you know.
Acting your age is for schoolmarms. I punctuate and use complete sentences when I text.
Finding someone to do stuff with is not the hard part. The hard part is finding someone you like staying home with.
If your profile does not include a photo, it ought to read like Hemingway.
