Date men from United States / California / Pacific Grove, 63 year old

Date a soulmate from Pacific Grove, United States. I'm pretty easy going, neat and clean but not obsessive, pretty organized, like to laugh, my sense of humor is a little bent - If you like George Carlin we'll get along fine. I'm reasonably fit, have two very goofy dogs who take me for walks at the beach some mornings and in the park every evening, I do sometimes
require a kick start to get going. I like to cook a lot, but I'm way more creative in the kitchen when cooking for more than just myself. Conversation is my favorite activity and I enjoy listening as well as talking. I love to read and it is rare for me to not be involved with a book or two. I like outdoor activities, movies, plays, dining out and concerts. Recently went middle age crazy and bought a motorcycle after about 20 years since the previous bike. I love to read and consider golf the sport of the dead. I dislike the bar scene, I dance poorly but I'm game to try if you insist and you don't value your feet. I have been here in Pacific Grove for nine years and have come to the conclusion that I'm living in paradise, I'm getting to know the area and explore a bit but not as much as I'd like to because, ...well. it's not as much fun doing that stuff alone. My doge are great but they really suck at conversation and don't seem to have a real appreciation for a beautiful sunset.I'm looking for a relationship, not a date. My ideal match will be someone who is easy going, intelligent, with a good sense of humor, emotionally stable, confident, ethical, honest and energetic. I like assertive but not aggressive - debating is good, arguing is bad Physically, emotionally and intellectually I'd like to find someone who I find attractive and compatable and who feels likewise about me.
