Date a soulmate from California, United States. I’m an old fashion guy. I open doors for women and people older than me, although the latter are getting fewer and fewer. Flowers are great for saying I care about you or I’m sorry. I try not to take myself too seriously and enjoy being around people with a similar approach. I like being outdoors and enjoy outdoor sports like golf and skiing although I’m not particularly good at either. I enjoy hiking and fishing. My favorite fishing spot is anywhere in Alaska. Away from work, I like to relax and take life easy. At home, I try not to let the small stuff bug me, after all a rainy day is just an excuse to read a good book or see a movie. I like doing things for those I care about. I can spend hours looking for a special gift. I like to make people laugh.
I grew up in Pennsylvania and have worked and lived in Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, Texas, and Arizona. I have spent some time overseas including working out of Scotland, a brief stint in Australia and several months in Iran. Now I’m rooted in the west and except for trips to see family and friends, prefer to stay west of the Rockies. Somehow snow in the Sierras seems much nicer than slush in Pennsylvania. I wouldn’t mind getting back to Australia and would love to visit New Zealand.
Family is very important to me. I enjoy my two sons, who presently live at home. My oldest has enlisted in the Navy and heads for basic training in November, then to Charleston where he will be in the Navy’s nuclear program. My youngest is home until January when he heads back to college. He had a very good time at last school year and apparently didn’t did waste a lot of time doing mundane things like attending class so he is sitting out a semester. His girlfriend came out this summer and he is highly motivated to get back to Colorado and do well. After January it’s just Joe, my Siberian Husky and me.
I enjoy my job, which involves overseeing construction and engineering projects in the LA Area and Hawaii. While my projects are south, I spend most of my time in the Bay Area.
I’m looking for someone who is laid back, active, has a good sense of humor and is affectionate. Good communications are key. If I say or do something wrong I would like to know what I did or said and not wonder why you are upset. I’m looking for a long term relationship and believe that can only happen with good communications. I’m flexible and like to try new things although opera is probably out. If you play golf or ski that is great. If you enjoy watching sports, live is better than TV, that’s a plus but not a requirement. Enjoying walks and dining out at quite restaurants is also a plus.
Meet single man from California, United States. Let me introduce myself. I am fun and easy to be around. I know how to laugh at life as it tries to make itself difficult. I have a distant psychology background and know how to listen – I can listen and not try to fix your problem though, unless you ask. I have had more dating experiences in the last year than I ever thought and am ready to settle down with that one woman who wants to be with me.
I was married for 42 years and we just decided to move on to new futures. I left with lots of knowledge of what I will do differently. I am looking for a long-term relationship and know that it will not be easy. Someone our age(s) have idiosyncrasies and habits that have to be adjusted for in a new relationship. I think that most things of difference are manageable and really think that differences make the relationship exciting. If we were just alike, then life would be boring.
I want to meet a woman who is proud of herself – beauty is wonderful but how you carry yourself and how you think of yourself is more important. Are you looking to be in someone’s shadow or do you hold your own in a conversation? The person who will be for me will be an independent person. We will cherish the times we have together to share our days and build a greater bond. We will find time at the end of day to sit on the couch and wrap ourselves around each other to re-discover why we are together. A bowl of popcorn or a movie will be ancillary to our wanting to be together.
The woman that I want to meet enjoys cooking. She also loves to share the kitchen with me so we can tempt each other with tastes. I have to admit, I am “meat and potatoes” but am willing to explore. I am not a fancy wine connoisseur and am happy with a simple wine with my meal. I know the difference between cooking and baking and I am more of a baker. Baker’s ingredients are specific and that should tell you a lot about me.
I have traveled a little. Been on a few cruises, been to the Big Island and went to Australia and loved it. I would love to go to Europe, I think mainly for the history and to see their normal furniture that is considered antiques by us. I have raced Porsche automobiles on courses all over California but do not any more. I have owned the fanciest of cars and now am more relaxed with a ten year old Taurus that I can park anywhere and not worry about door dings.
My current passion is historical walking tours of San Francisco. I found a company that has guided tours and I am learning a lot. I will bore you to tears with my knowledge – just let me talk because I do wind down. I am in training to become a guide – there I could bore people because they like it?
I am a gentleman – I open doors for ladies and enjoy it. I think it is great to walk down Main Street and be holding hands with my lady. I am one that likes to surprise you with small gifts or surprise phone calls to show that I care. I am not embarrassed by showing affection and in fact am not embarrassed by much but I WILL NEVER EMBARRASS YOU.
I am looking for someone that likes to have fun – to laugh and act silly and act surprised when I surprise her. Part of my affection is shown to those I care about by teasing and playing. I want a relationship with a woman who wants a relationship. If you are a player, don’t bother me. I am sincere and serious.
I am looking to meet you if you are not “full of yourself” and really want to meet a guy who will treat you right. I will not put you on a pedestal but will treat you like a princess.
