Date men and women from United States / California / Patterson, 52 year old

Date a man from United States. Hello my name is Michael and I live in Patterson, calif.
I have two children my son is 22 lives on his own. My daughter is nineteen and she lives with me and attends Junior college. I am a concrete foreman at a local construction company. I have been in the trades over 27 years. (Yes I am getting close to retirement) I am rather fortunate I enjoy my job. I enjoy my time off more (smile)
I do enjoy dancing. Due to my knees I cannot dance all night long anymore. ( I had knee surgery in November 2011) I feel like a young man when I am on the floor. I pay for it the next week, so I am a little conservative now; I enjoy cycling low impact is better for my knees. I enjoy fishing and Camping on the boat. I also enjoy hockey, minor league. (Go Thunders) spring is here so I have been placing marigold in the back yard. I find I enjoy gardening, it is rather peaceful.
I enjoy simply hanging with the woman of my dreams (are you her) by the pool or just a quiet evening in the spa. I am always a gentleman I open the door for you when you get in to the car. I always walk on the traffic side. Call it old fashion, or call it what it really is. You would be special to me I would want to protect you. (I know this thought is out dated. Sorry)
What am I looking for? Now that is simple someone who is not scared to follow their heart. Someone who knows what they too are looking for. Someone close by. I do not do the long distance dating. It is just impossible. When I am with a woman I would enjoy seeing her more than just the weekend. A telephone call in the middle of the week. To see if we have time to meet. Without having to drive two hours.
I am currently off match. please do not think I am being rude by not emailing you back. Yes I am still single. Just need to reflect for awhile. god blesss everyone
Michael
