Date women from United States / California / Orcutt, 56 year old

Date someone special from Orcutt, United States. Though I may not look like the stereotypical 'California girl' I love the California lifestyle. I am keen on the fresh and healthy lifestyle, the laid back lifestyle and the sunshine that graces the days. I've been successful in business and have come to understand that life is about family, loyalty and enjoying the company of those you love.
I think that we choose to be happy or to have fun, partly by who we choose to invite into our lives. Activities of all sorts can be enjoyable with the right company, but until I find that one right guy I'll keep moving in exercise classes, enjoying our beautiful beaches, traveling, snapping photos and attending concerts, plays and movies. Admittedly, though, those things would be that much more fun with someone special.
I'm looking for someone who has that spark..that certain 'something' that makes me feel at once at ease but still excited and full of anticipation. It's difficult to define in words, really, but I'll know him when we can look at each other and speak without saying a word. I believe in romance, in affection and in stolen glances that are ours and ours alone.
My ideal man is communicative, affectionate, humorous and devoted. Silent types may seem mysterious, but I'm more interested in the guy who's strong enough to speak his mind and share his feelings. Living a healthy lifestyle is important to me, and will be to my partner as well. I also like to sometimes splurge and dress up on occasion.
I think that how someone treats others, especially strangers, speaks volumes about their character and integrity. I'm looking for the guy who treats the wait staff at the restaurant as kindly as he does a close friend.
My idea of an ideal relationship is hearing the highlights of each others days, laughing at amusing tidbits but having empathy for the difficult times. Laughing is the best medicine. My close friends think I'm funny.
There's more to talk about, of course, but so much of that is better in person. If you're the type of guy who is proud of your professional success but know that relationships and people are what really matter most, and you'd enjoy the company of a caring, friendly and witty woman, then I hope you'll say hello.
