Date men from United States / California / Petaluma, 57 year old

Date single man from California, United States. I am a romantic at heart. Searching for that special person who appreciates and enjoys the company of a good man. I am kind of shy at first and really open up as we get to know each other. I have a good sense of humor, like to laugh, but have my serious side as well. I have a high level of integrity and hope to find that in my partner. Mutual trust and loyalty are very important. I am looking to develop a close and meaningful relationship with someone who likes to communicate, enjoy life and have fun while building a future together. Could it be you?

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I grew up in Marin, went to school in Southern California and Indiana. I currently live on the outskirts of Petaluma not too far from the coast. I wish to meet a fun lady who enjoys the outdoors and being with family and pets, meeting others and going on spontaneous adventures and vacations.
I've been told I'm old fashioned because I open doors, like to snuggle, send thank you cards, and bring fresh flowers for no particular reason. I like giving little surprises from time to time, and watching as your eyes light up! I love being in the kitchen preparing meals and listening to music. I'm most comfortable in casual clothes but clean up pretty well for special occasions.
My favorite vacations have been to the Greek Islands, Mexico, Florida and trips along the California coast. I have a bucket list of many places I want to see around the world and would love to compare my list with yours. I like scuba diving and look forward to vacations that include this as well as site seeing, hiking, bicycling, wine tasting, and photography. I like designing and building fine furniture as a hobby, so you might find me working on a project in my garage shop with a CD playing. I like making fresh juice in the morning and then a smoothie for lunch that energizes my day. I've lost significant weight and had fun doing it. Do you know any good recipes?
I miss the walks with my dog Jimmy who passed last year at 17. He was a great friend that enjoyed everyone he met and taught me something about happiness... we only need three simple things everyday to be happy… something to do, something to look forward to, and someone to love. If something I've written above appeals to you then I would love to hear from you.
Enjoy your day and eat healthy!

Date someone special from California, United States. My match needs to be passionate about life, and above all have a unique and well developed sense of humor. Life is too short not to laugh our way through it. I also want someone in my life who is kind and non-judgmental of other people and really doesn't care about social status or the consumerist values that permeate our society. Basically I'm looking for a funny angel :)
I have two boys (teenagers) and take my responsibility as their father seriously. My hope, though, is that they don't grow up taking things TOO seriously. So far- so good. I love children and sometimes I really miss having little boys running around the house.
I love dogs but can't really have one where I'm living...so if you have a dog, that would be a really good thing so I could have a dog-by-proxy :)
I come from a very typical Irish American Catholic background but ultimately can't believe in a God who's pettier than I can be :).
Feel free to ask more if you require more information :)
