Date women from United States / California / San Rafael, 57 year old

Date a woman from United States. I am fun, funny, smart, aware and compassionate.I have been fortunate to have done some exciting things in my life: I saw the Beatles, touched John and Bobby Kennedy, canvassed for McGovern, swam with Pierre Salinger at Lake Como, worked for Steve Young at a startup and was in an elevator with Sting in Madrid. I have been loved alot in my life, so I know that feeling.
I work hard, I like taking care of someone that is worth the effort. I like being pampered. Today, I love to do the simple things, garden, hike, pick a bouquet from my garden or go down the street and shoot pool or listen to jazz outside.
I am not interested in 100 first dates or packing in five "coffee dates" in one day. I am a girl, so I probably can't run/bke faster than you so I don't want to compete with you, but want to find the right things to do together at a pace so we both can enjoy a great adventure.I do believe I can tread water longer than most people because I have been doing that for 25 years, so I could save your life if we capsized.
I want someone that is aware as well, able to be present and has dealt with their disappointments and have moved on and ready to do something different.However, I get that you are a guy and are wired differently. Having said that I am a great listener ( been trained as a chaplain and by hospice), but usually time is limitied, so what do we want to talk about? There are endless things to explore and I want to do that with you.
I know I can make someone laugh, but I need someone to make me laugh as well.I love the movie "What about Bob?"
I like the phone over text or emailing.I don't like the wink thing. Just send me an email asking if I am interested in connecting.
What has happened to the Saturday night date? There is nothing more exciting than getting ready for a date with someone special.
I do hope you find the like/love/partner/sweetheart of your life. At least you are trying!
Peace,

Meet someone special from United States. I am open and ready to enjoy a relationship with a special man.
I am a fun loving, positive, caring person who enjoys baseball, hiking, most any outdoor activity and cooking.
I am from San Diego and just moved to Nor Cal 2 years ago...I'm loving all of the great places here, the fog, the bridge, the park, the people...it's been very fun! I have not been to a baseball game yet, but it's on my list of things to do!
I am looking for a man who is independent, yet looking for his best friend, a man who enjoys life yet saves a special part of himself for his special lady. A sense of humor is a must, being able to laugh and make others laugh is very important to me. Someone who values family and friendships and understands what being loyal really means. A man who is secure in who he is and what he does is very attractive to me.
Life is out there to enjoy, without drama or games, if you feel the same, let's meet!!!
