Date men and women from United States / California / Oakhurst, 58 year old

Date a soulmate from Oakhurst, United States. HI... My name is Richard. I am 6' 7" tall.
I love life! I always try to pay it forward with random acts of kindness. Sometimes I will see a lovely elderly couple in a restaurant and tell the waiter "I want to pay for their dinner and tip... under one condition...he promises not to tell them I paid for it." I love thunderstorms, snow, warm smiles, real people, cooking, sunsets and rises, concerts ( most any kind except rap or hip-hop ), giving, working hard, playing harder, a Corona on the beach, hot chocolate at the top of a snow covered mountain, children, learning, teaching, dogs, springtime, laughing so hard your cheeks start to cramp, blue skies, and most of all Friendship! These are just a few of my favorite things!!!
I am a warm passionate man who expects and demands total honesty and loyalty from myself and the woman I choose to be with. Your brightness and intellect I consider a great asset...... and am I not at all intimidated by a women with brains, a quick wit, and great since of humor!! I am financially and emotionally secure and am looking for same.
I am a gentleman first and foremost and would never allow you to pay for dinner or open your car door when we are together. I like holding hands, public displays of affection, candle lit dinners, romance, snuggling and long passionate kisses.
New Years Resolution: play and exercise more. Take time to make time.... Get back into skiing, golf more, hiking, mountain biking, flying (both fixed wing and helicopters) my licenses are not current...would like to take my "check rides" and get current and signed off this year!
I travel for business and pleasure all over the world and try to go as often as possible to the fun destinations where trade shows are being held....S.F., Vegas, Seattle, New York, Vancouver, etc. Sometimes China, Taiwan, and Mexico. I attend as a buyer, not as an exhibitor so I can set my own hours for work, play, site seeing etc.
Anyway.... I live between Oakhurst and Bass Lake..12 miles south of the south entrance to Yosemite National Park, about 1 and 1/2 miles to the lake... going on 14 years.
Thanks for taking a look.... and good luck.
