Date people from California, United States. Born in Texas, raised on the East Coast, and transplanted to the Bay Area in the late 1970's, I now consider myself a full-fledged California native.
I was a physician in private practice for over 20 years in the East Bay and although I enjoyed the challenges and gratification of working in a helping profession, I was also happy to be able to retire relatively early and spend time living a more relaxed lifestyle.
Since then, music has been a big part of my life and I'm currently studying piano with a world class artist and teacher. Live music, theater, and a great movie also are some of life's pleasures. I have a subscription to the San Francisco Symphony and enjoy jazz and pop concerts.
A perfect day for me would be sharing a great meal overlooking the ocean or bay, followed by a long walk on the beach.
My photos are all recent. I'm youthful in appearance and spirit. I will try to find you but if I miss, please send an email or wink my way if you feel there might be some good chemistry.
Meet men and women from California, United States. WHO I AM: Born in VA to a “southern belle”, who created a gentleman. My Personality tests say romantic & idealistic. Romance: I do things like arrange dinner as the sun moves into the ocean, or remember the day we met and celebrate it, bring you a card that expresses how I feel, or protect you from the wind when it’s cold. I don’t think consciously of these behaviors – they are just who I am. Idealistic: I believe in love & trust. I have integrity, do what I say – & don’t play “dating games”. I am monogamous & always have been. I have lived in SF Bay Area for 37 years. Single since '99. I am humorous, athletic, very healthy & exercise daily. I can also “string two sentences together”. (small smile) My career is professional manager. WHAT I SEEK: In the movie “Shall We Dance?”, Susan Sarandon’s character says we all want a partner to witness our lives, so that our lives will matter to someone. That language resonates for me. Would you like a man to witness your life? Your life will matter to me. I will learn who you are, what’s important to you, what pleases you, what makes you smile, & what lets you feel love. Then I'll provide them. Mark Twain wrote: to obtain the full measure of joy, it must be shared. I agree. MY IDEAL PARTNER: she has a college education, is bright, has/had a career, children, significant relationship(s), experienced loss [divorce, widow], has a caring, soft smile, connects mentally, emotionally & physically with her partner. She is physically attractive & active 3-4 times weekly. She is sophisticated, confident & emotionally & physically warm. She is not “dating to be dating” but wants a relationship. She deals openly & honestly with conflicts. She enjoys holding hands, likes being romanced. She can trust and believe still. If this “portrait” appeals to you, I’d like to hear from you. PS - Please look like your photos - i look like mine!

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I'm a fun loving, laid back man who loves active sports - tennis, golf, travel, walking, hiking, boating - and is looking for a fun loving woman to play by day and snuggle by night. I enjoy movies, music, theater, bridge, fires, candle light .... the good life! The person I am with is more important than what I am doing. I am looking for a long term relationship with a one special person. I have 2 grown married kiddies!I am looking for an attractive, active woman (if you play tennis and golf you go to the head of the class!) with an affectionate nature and a down to earth personality who wants to love and be loved. If you want to walk down the street without holding hands or an arm around you, I am the wrong guy! Hope to hear from you!

Date men and women from Pleasanton, United States. I love life, and fill mine with fun and challenging things, and would love to share this adventure with that "special someone". I enjoy meeting new people, but am also open to a more serious relationship. I truly believe in chemistry, and what it means in a relationship.
You will find me to be very warm and loving. I came from a very large family of Irish descent. Spending time with family and friends are top priority for me. Last minute get-togethers are sometimes the best. Throw some steaks on the Bar-b, open a great bottle of wine, and you have the recipe for a great day or evening.
My life is very good, and I have a great deal to share with someone. I am very sociable, and am told attractive. I love to laugh and make others around me feel the same. I try to not take myself too seriously.
A favorite saying that I read years ago is; "Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile."
If you are still in wonder of this great life that we are in the middle of, and wish to explore new adventures with me, please apply within...
