Date men from United States / California / Palo Alto, 64 year old

Date a man from California, United States. I would say that essentially I am a creative soul who embraced the art of building as a career and spent decades as a craftsman and contributing designer. I have three very fine sons who make me proud and a large interesting family. I seek a woman who has feminine grace and charm, a wicked wit, a devoted soul and playful spirit. I don't sing my own praises lightly, but I will say that I have thrived on my sense of humor and need a kindred soul in that respect.
To complete the picture some, I should say that I took an undergraduate degree in psychology from UC Berkeley and then went on to study art, sculpture and interior design at San Jose State. If you have ever been through a long and complex high end home building or commercial project, you might say that these were the perfect tools to carry in your bag. I can assure you that there has been a very funny movie script stirring in my brain for many years and each new project adds more material.
I think I still carry a sense of what counts in this world from my experience as a student in Berkeley in the late sixties. It was a time of immense cultural upheaval and change. Creative imagination was fueled by the crises of the times and a value system became a part of who we were. It seems distant now, but we were expected to take whatever we did seriously and respect the art and quality of the craft, whatever it may be. For better or for worse it was not about money but character and this was true for the man or woman you hope to fall in love with. All still possible...

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. My philosophy is that it never hurts to try and make a connection with another human being. Both people have everything to gain and nothing to loose if there IS a connection. Creating a friendship with a member of the opposite sex is the best start I can think of. If more grows, what a great surprise. If you create only a friendship you win too. I LOVE the outdoors...I would rather feel the sun on my skin or watch the stars than be inside. It puts me in perspective with nature...more people should understand the relationship we have with the universe...starting with Earth. What is the most important thing in Life? If you are reading this then one answer may be a loving healthy relationship with a member of the opposite sex. Another good answer would be chocolate, but I know where to find that!!! Caring for another is a gift that some of us have found elusive at times (like now!) Finding that special soul is not the simplest thing I have ever done, and yet the romantic in me keeps checking every nook and crannie knowing that someone is out there and that I hope to find them while I am still alive :-). I am a romantic with realistic tendencies. I know you are out there, but I also know the odds are against us finding one another but I haven't given up.I am looking for a energetic, romantic, passionate woman WITH or WITHOUT children. I have none but dearly love having them in my life, thank goodness for my niece, nephew and friends with children. Younger women seem to have an energy level more like mine, BUT NOT ALWAYS (my experience!). When I have had the pleasure of being with a woman that has children I have felt it was a bonus.

Date single man from California, United States. If not now, when?
I'll admit I am not fond of the dating scene now-a-days. Post or answer an ad or profile, exchange a few emails, talk on the phone and a date or two to find out if the pictures are current and who we really are. Decide its not what we are seeking. Lather, rinse, repeat. And as much as it's work and sometimes with no pay back, I'll continue because I still think there's time to build a library of shared memories. And too many of mine are scattered around the globe with friends not often seen or ex's of one variety or another.
I have no interest in parallel dating. And while I'll admit that FWB has an attraction for those periods when I find myself alone, I really would prefer my last first date. I've come close in the last few years, but...
An S.O. once said I make everything seem possible. I bring that to the table. I'd like you to do the same. Not as important that we share the same interests as the same values, though shared interests are great and I have many. I'd love for you to bring new opportunities for things I haven't experienced along as well.
I can be out and active or home with you making dinner and watching a DVD. Or practicing "toe curling" if we progress to sleeping together. You'll be looking for the hidden bottle of blue pills. They don't exist. I have been fortunate that way and it seems to be appreciated.
I'm early 60's and as everyone seems to say recently, look and act younger. Creative, spiritual and bright. Liberal. Quick witted. Dog lover. Golf hacker. Financially secure but truthfully, have never seen a definition of that overused phrase. I do not do "long walks on the beach" as its too crowded with everyone out there that claim they do.
Looking for a friend, playmate, lover, partner for movies, live music and festivals, cooking in and dining out, travel and new adventures. A match that can be spontaneous, loves travel and live music with a youthful outlook and energy. I'm likely to see 50 or 60 shows a year and often base travel around shows. Think David Nelson, Furthur, Allman's and the like.
You are age appropriate, youthful in outlook and appearance and truly looking for that last LTR. Geographic desirability is the Bay Area. The Peninsula makes it so much easier for spontaneous get togethers but I wouldn't want to limit myself geographically and miss a great potential connection. I don't mind driving for that great match, especially if you are willing to do the same
Let's see if there is enough spark to meet over a margarita, macchiato or Merlot.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Who am I?
1. I recently moved to an intentional community, where I'm learning "valuescience".
2. While I work in healthcare, I am a scientist by inclination and by training, as the scientific method allows us to discover what works and why. Lately I have been working on changing habits to increase health and happiness and to decrease suffering.
3. After reading that the Dalai Lama said, “Kindness is my religion”, I started studying Buddhism.
4. I generally look for the humorous side of things. I agree with Audrey Hepburn, who said, “I love people who make me laugh” and Victor Borge, who said, “Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.”

6. I begin each day with a gratitude practice.
7. I aim to fully occupy the present moment whenever I can.

Meet a soulmate from United States. Mature professional man seeking other half for fun and if all goes well a long term relationship or marriage. Looking for someone who enjoys an active life style theater, beach, boating, music. Let's meet and see what we have in common.

Date single man from United States. I am a widower with two teenage girls, one of whom is graduating from high school this year. The other will be a sophomore. I have devoted the past 11 years to being there for my kids. With one ready to leave and the other with 3 years remaining in high school, I felt it was time for me to explore the unknown in terms of finding a life long mate.
People typically label me as "a really nice guy." I tend to get along well with almost everyone I meet. I enjoy being with people in group social situations as well as being intimate and alone with a spouse/partner. I engage in convesation easily and am interested in other people's perspectives and interests. I am a good listener, having learned that skill through both work and personal relationships.
I am seeking someone who is gentle and kind. I have had enough stress in my life from work, my teenage daughters and the loss of my wife that my goal for the rest of my life is to enjoy it to the utmost with someone who is fun, lively and loves to laugh. I am a person who likes to touch so my partner must enjoy hugs, massages to the neck and spontaneous smooches.
As one can tell from my profile, I am an active person. I used to jog a lot until I had knee surgery last year. I am now recovering and have started biking but I still do a lot of physical therapy to rehabilitate the knee. I was playing basketball and softball until last year but have had to hang up the shoes due to the knee. Swimming is boring so long bike rides will have to do for now.
I am 60 years old but everyone says I look like 50 or less as I keep active. I don't expect my partner to be as active as I am but I would hope that they have respect for their health. I try to eat healthy and I would hope that they do as well.
I look forward to meeting someone who is indepedent, kind, caring loving, communicative, and just a really nice person.,
