Date women from United States / California / Palo Alto - page 18

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I have reached the time in my life to smell the flowers and enjoy some peace and harmony. (maybe throw in some exciting, things too), with a partnership in which we will cherish and nurture each other through the remaining hills and valleys that each day brings. A support system for each other; while at the same time having a lot of fun and laughs together!
I am a very loving, fun, kind, nurturing and peace loving person. I was a tomboy as a child and I enjoy browsing hardware stores and auto supply stores. I know there is someone out there who will appreciate these qualities that I possess. I have a great sense of humor. It would be great if my mate not only appreciated that facet of my personality; but also had the same quality.
It's important that my mate is a family man. Personal grooming and cleanliness is at the top of my list. I prefer a flexible man, open to new life experiences, easy going and patient.
Another added bonus for me, would be if he enjoyed dancing with me.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I am a very happy, thankful, outgoing lover of nature in its many forms--plants, animals, people, travel nearby and far away.

In my younger(?), well, middle days, being a photographer fed my love of adventure, and until recently I have taken every opportunity to travel and photograph. I photographed Huichols at 12,000 feet in the Sierra Huichols, and rural farmers in Tanzania and small businesses in Kenya. I've recently been going to Haiti with a group that teaches photography to street kids. I'll go again in July.

At home I'm living a comfortable life, with a circle of good friends. . I like cooking for friends. I'm looking for meaningful ways to use my retirement. Spanish lessons and piano lessons keep me thinking. I spend time with my 99 year old father, an irascible old guy, who is still fun and loves the fray of politics.
I really long for a thoughtful man who is grounded, who knows and accepts himself, who doesn't take himself too seriously, and has a certain humility. It's hard to describe what I need. I want a good friend whose interests and passions resonate, but don't necessarily coincide, with mine. A generous spirit, a compassionate man, who loves physical touch, and emotional openness.
I have one daughter who has moved to Virginia. She is a massage therapist and a singer, and I miss her all the time.

Somethings I will do alone - go to Hanalei for 3 weeks - but not others - travel to Italy or go to NYC. Would like someone who has a sense of humor as well as some wisdom about the world. Someone who feels he has accomplished some important things in his lifetime. (Definition of "important" has to do with what he feels he has done. Such as being a good teacher.)

I work out at the local Y 3 X a week and am presently taking a couple classes locally - a Personal Histories class and a beginning Italian class.
