Date people from California, United States. Hello, thanks for taking time to find out about me and what I am looking for. The first thing I want to make clear is that I am 59 years old. The edit button next to my age will not allow me to change it. Since I am new here and not exactly techno-savy, I haven't figured out how to correct this.
I have been a Real Estate Professional for my entire career but I have slowed things down a bit so I have time to enjoy life. Fortunately I am in great health and good physical condition.
II like long conversational dinners and after that, fun and adventure........like dancing....or like a walk to watch the sunset.
I look great in formal wear at a party, but seriously how often does that happen? I prefer blue jeans and a nice looking shirt. I like BBQ"s and cooking with you. I am FUN AND ROMANTIC ..........I am active, intelligent, and I am very entertaining. I am looking for someone who is fun loving and energetic but also likes to kick back and enjoy quiet private time. I appreciate someone who is articulate. I know you will to be attractive and self assured, but somewhat shy is alright too.. I would like someone with a sense of humor and likes to laugh. Romantic dinners are important and movie lovers are appreciated. A woman of strong faith who actually knows God is someone I would like to partner with.
I dance during the week for exercise so please don't worry if you won't be on DANCING WITH THE STARS next season....neither will I. Ballroom Dancing is fun and great sport. The girl in the photo is actually Bonnie Marie my instructor and Professional Dancer.. I mostly dance for fun. Competition is good for improving my dancing ability but not as much fun as SPENDING TIME WITH YOU, someone SPECIAL, someone who is a FRIEND and LOVER, someone to have FUN with, and WARM up too.
I enjoy being in a relationship and I am not a player. I don't like games or the people who play them. So be brave.....reach out....let's talk.........If you are looking for REAL ROMANCE and HONEST communication in a partner then you found the right man. If you still want to play the field and be single but sort of in a relationship then I am not the one for you.
Have your baggage checked at the station, none of us is perfect.....but please be over your last situation, entanglement, marriage, relationship, etc. and ready to move on to adventure.
My kids are through college.and both enjoying their respective careers. My son finished his MBA last year and my daughter did her masters work in fine art. She is a skilled photographer and a pre-school teacher. Now I have time to SEARCH for YOU. I'm looking forward to your response. ...............

Date a man from San Juan Capistrano, United States. My friends would say I'm funny, kind, generous, loyal and a character. I usually don't wait for fun if it's not there then we'll make it. I'm looking for a relationship with ONE woman. She will be loved, respected Her feelings, thoughts, needs and passions will be taken seriously at face value. I have have a great track record with the above statement. I'm young at heart and this plays into why I'm not often serious, however if serious is needed I will be there for you, like a knight Templar. There is much more to be said, but if you like what you read drop me a line. I'd like to meet someone sooner than latter, at a place of your choice. You have to feel safe and comfortable so both of us can relax, talk and have a good time getting to know each other.

Date people from San Juan Capistrano, United States. I can make you laugh or share a deep conversation. Bringing additional happiness to my partner is important to me. While a special connection is vital, the key to that special relationship is compassion, tolerance and respect.
I'm in my late 50's and I'm fit and active. I do like new experiences, so I'm ready to learn from my companion or learn with her. I enjoy traveling and I'm in a favored position now allowing me to do more, preferably with a new partner.
I am that nice guy. ;-) The glass is half full for me and I'm looking for someone who shares that view. I am genuinely surprised that there are not more people who look to find the positive in life's situations.
I am pretty independent and I am looking for a woman who is also independent ... but sharing experiences and nurturing love is a special priority. And support of one's partner is essential.
My son is an important aspect of my life and I expect children will be important to my partner, who has any. Though having a partner without children offers the advantages of easier travel and greater simplicity, I would appreciate the chance to help foster any children of my partner. While admittedly more challenging, the addition of children is a wonderful opportunity to learn, experience and grow... and, of course, share something special.
I am turned on by the thought of being with a pretty, sensuous woman who is smart with a good sense of humor and who wants the full spectrum of intimacy from cuddling to .... (let the imagination flow). A slender figure is a turn on for me, likely, for right or wrong, because it indicates to me that the woman takes care of herself. While an attractive face and figure will draw my attention, twinkly eyes and a great smile will keep me going. And, of course, deep down there has to be that warm heart.
Drop me a note, if you think there could be a fit.
Meet single man from San Juan Capistrano, United States. Me? – financially insecure, couch potato looking for someone to take care of me. And drama, I need lots of drama, life is really too long as it is. (Did you make it this far – okay, that was the shock and awe approach – couldn’t be further from the truth). Oh by the way, I’m not the one in the picture with long hair! But, if I eat, go out to the bathroom, sleep and get a bone thrown to me every so often, I am happy. Life has such simple pleasures! I am actually simple and complex – former boy scout and altar boy – half Italian (which someone told me the other day means I ain’t half bad!). I am a funloving guy, hardworking and takes commitments seriously. And I find this hilarious, people keep telling I look like Richard Gere! I'm telling ya, no matter which way I look in the mirror (and I've tried them all some of which I hope never show up on YouTube) I ain't seeing it. My roots are "back-east", small town and the big Italian family in the hinterlands of PA. Is there nothing better than the intimacy of a "connection"? I think it always starts with friendship and that connection.
So if you are funloving, funny, smart, active and stable - then why not?
Date someone special from United States. I am in a transition of life; grandchildren, career change, semi retirement. I am a licensed therapist and can be analytical and reflective. I am deeply existential in nature and try to live a full life. I am responsible and a very good listener (the therapist in me).
I am apt to put all seriousness aside and be a child from time to time. I enjoy cooking, especially side by side with someone. You will find me playing music with friends and relaxing. A broken leg and torn ligaments have put my exercise and strenuous activities on hold. Some permanent damage due to a mis-diagnosis. A long story.
I am pretty much an open book and not very complicated at all. If you want to know more, just ask. I have healthy boundaries and know how to take care of myself.
Meet single man from United States. ADIOS and VAYA CON DIOS!!! So, This Is It! Time to say goodbye to you all as I am going off Match. It has been an enjoyable 3 months. I have learned a lot about myself and others and I wish you all well. Time is short. Life is fast. It will be over before you know it. And, it is all perfect just the way that it is. I love you all.......AND, I love nature. I love dogs. I love naturally pristine outdoor places and I am fortunate enough to have the land, the time and the money to enjoy them with a beautiful woman who is(or could be) truly comfortable in primitive settings. I'm in excellent physical shape and plan on retiring from the Long Beach Fire Department this year. I have an incredibly-thoughtful and responsible 21-year-old son who lives with his mother in San Juan Capistrano and goes to Saddleback College. And, I am lucky enough to have a ranch off Hwy. 74--the Ortega Hwy.--(the other properties are in N. Cal., S. Oregon, Washington"San Juan Islands" and Hawaii). Meanwhile, back at the Ranch, I have two large and well-behaved dogs, two horses and 100 acres to share with the right woman.
So much for my world, my desires and my plans. I am not opposed to compromise or to the possibility of falling madly "in love" with a woman walking another path and sharing in her world, her desires and her plans. As I am close to retirement, my parents gone and my son on his own, I am at a crossroads in my life.
I am in very good health and flexible in my home base (have traveled the world over) and I am(and always have been) "the father of all adventurers". So, what are you waiting for?----your next life? Remember, "we are born, live and die but in the blink of an eye.".
AND, I like to do dishes and will happily eat anything!

(Main picture and self photo taken 4/24/10)
I'm entering a new phase of my life. When my wife passed away it ended our magazine (it took both of us to publish) so I am now semi retired doing taxes in the tax season and free the other 2/3rds of the year. I haven't yet determined what I will do with this freedom partly because it's too soon and partly because I am hoping to find someone to share it with.
Our magazine, Costa D’Oro, covered art, history and elegant living on South Orange County’s Gold Coast including haute Orange County (i. e. the social scene) so I am comfortable in most environments. I have a wide range of interests and experiences (which is why we could do a general interest magazine) so I'm confident we can find a lot of things to do which interest both of us. While I don’t consider myself either an alpha or beta male (I’m too independent to be either a leader or a follower), we had the guts to start our own business in a very competitive market (magazines) and the savvy and drive to make it work for 14 years.
Among my passions today are economics, politics and how a society organizes itself. Naturally I'd like someone who shares my interests. Discussing, more than debating, issues is a lot of fun with someone you like who is interested, intelligent and informed. My political views are mainstream conservative. However, one of my favorite sayings is, "If two people agree on everything, only one of them is doing the thinking" so I want someone who shares my INTEREST in these subjects but I definitely do NOT require that she agree with me. (OTOH if you are a passionate Leftist we probably won't get along.)
Financially I'm not wealthy but I do have enough. I won't be able to whisk you off to Paris every weekend but I will be able to take you to nice restaurants. And I'll never need or want to ask for money.
I am looking for someone who is quite romantic and who enjoys cuddling. And yes, making love is part of a good relationship (especially since I am a one woman man). If you're happy with 5 or 10 minutes once or twice a week we aren’t right for each other. I do two sets of a hundred pushups 3 times a week (the most I was ever required to do in the Marine Corps was 65) and run a mile or two so I'd like a partner that is reasonably fit. Of course the more attractive the better.
I do want to emphasize, however, I’m not one of those guys who thinks of sex at the drop of a dress (hat, hat, drop of a hat). I value a woman for her mind, not just her ...hot ...sensuous ...desirable ...body. Also, I have an offbeat sense of humor. But you’ll have to take my word on that for right now.
Seriously though, I had a wonderful life with a beautiful woman for 28 years. (She and I are in the photo where I’m wearing the tux.) She was my best friend and I was her’s and I had planned to spend the rest of my life with her before the cancer ended everything. Naturally I would like another beautiful woman who likes the things I like, who I can satisfy, and who wants to share the rest of my life.
But even if that is not possible, finding someone to share laughs, fun and an occasional dinner with is far better than a life completely alone. If you find my profile and my picture interesting, email me. Who knows?
Full disclosure on smoking. I have ONE cigar at the end of the day on my verandah watching the sun go down. I NEVER smoke any other time.
Oh, yes. I play guitar and have written a few songs (which I guess makes me a certified sensitive guy). I can also play you the most beautiful song written in the 1960s.
