Date men from United States / California / North San Juan, 55 year old

Date single man from North San Juan, United States. I really love the way I make my living, I enjoy traveling through the United States. I work really hard, but also enjoy taking the back roads when time allows, meeting new people and seeing new places. I enjoy walking on a beach and just listening to the water, and wildlife around. I love fishing, hiking, and a really good movie, soft music, slow dancing and finding new places in old places I never knew were there.
What I don't have time for are game players, persons who would take advantage of my very giving nature. I keep my friends very close in confidence and am terribly hurt when things go awry. I love wearing jeans, but can clean up if the occasion requires (better be worth it). I don't drink alcohol but don't mind when my date enjoys a glass or two.
I travel way to much to enjoy the company of a pet, but love it when friends have them for me to spoil. I guess what I'm looking for in a partner, is a friend first, someone that is simply happy to be with me, and me with them, someone that will never be afraid to say I love you, know when I'm close and call when I'm away.
Am seeking for A woman who is my best friend and partner in life...Someone who is confident and relaxed with themselves, willing to explore a new person in every way...Someone who i can give my all and do anything for and who feel the same about me..I am very grounded around what is really important in life and simple things are usually the most valuable in my closest personal relationships. Anyone that I would deeply connect with would be genuine, open-minded, kind-hearted, compassionate, forgiving and loyal and will have come through many bumps in life with a naturally happy and optimistic attitude about life. And, yes lasting romance is a big deal to me - I want nothing to do with an ambivalent relationship where expressing love for your partner is not a priority..
