Date women from United States / California / San Ramon, 68 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am young at heart, has many friends, belong to Charitable World Wide Organization. I like a good laugh with my family and friends. I like to travel to foreign countries. Have been in business for 32 years and like to work. Have a busy social and work life but need someone to spend extra time with. I love animals and have a dog at this time.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Finding someone special I would think the following, we have fun togther and everyone knows that. We enjoy friends and family and like time together alone as well. We laugh and smile at each other and ourselves.....We can kid or tease each other with respect for each other. People would see us as caring and interesting. It is important to enjoy new things like people and new places. I think each day is a gift and make the most of it.......
Being on the shorter side of life left to live I do believe each day is or can be better than the day before. I do love to be happy which I am most days, not many days do the storm clouds appear. I find learning new things is so much fun when you get older, I guess because I am surprised old dogs do learn new tricks. I am tenacious with projects with my camera or computer and find great joy in creative things. I have a love of photography and some day want to take more classes. I have taught myself a lot of things and feel I learn the hard way some times but it makes me a better student. I am laid back but very strong when I need to be, I keep very busy and find most days I never sit down on the weekends, there will always be time to rest later in life. I am healthy which I am very grateful for and feel making the most out of life now is what counts as you never know what is in store later on. I do not have a picture in my mind of the person I would like to spend time with but I think I will know him when he comes along. That is what this kind of dating is all about, meeting new people and seeing if there is a connection. I do not think I have changed much since I was 20 but then I guess I must have in some ways. I sure am smarter now, thank heaven for all that life experience stuff I got first hand. Well let me know if who I am or might be to you is of interest.......you never know.

Date a woman from California, United States. I enjoy life and its many opportunities. Most important to me are my family and friends. I love being active and being healthy enough to hike and dance (just started tap, looking for a jazz and ballet class..oh, and ballroom too). On the cerebral side, I appreciate being able to work just part-time in a stimulating environment. After my second retirement I want to take water color and photography classes. I also would like to find time to write the books I keep thinking about and go to talks offered by the Commonwealth Club in SF.
I hope to find a guy who has a sense of humor and a positive approach to life, one who wants to be active as well, someone who would find it fun to hike often for exercise, someone who doesn't need to spend many hours per day watching TV.
A dream trip would be to travel with my guy best friend, visiting and hiking in our National Parks. I would also love to take a weekend break to walk the beach on a winter's day and relax with a book by the fire. Hopefully he would want to climb the many hills and steps in San Francisco with me, seeking out the famous Victorian painted ladies.

Meet a soulmate from San Ramon, United States. The two most engaging aspects of my current life are my grandchildren--one little girl here and two boys in Oregon--and fiction writing. I recently pitched my current novel in progress and have an interest from two top agents. I may also be able to pitch a prior novel I completed 6 years ago to these same agents. So much of my time is finishing, editing, writing queries, and synopses to get them in shape. I do attend writer conferences and workshops, but am always interested in fellow writers, whether their preference is fiction or non-fiction or poetry.
I also am enjoying a new connection to a church in the area I just moved to (San Ramon) and am interested in meeting someone on a similar faith journey. I am very liberal in my politics and sincere in my faith--sometimes a hard combination for others to appreciate or understand.
I retired two years ago from a 40 year career as a therapist, the last 19 at a Kaiser facility. I do appreciate those who either have had careers focused on helping others or have done so outside of their careers.
I am looking for a monogamous relationship but not necessarily marriage or even blending lives. I would just enjoy the affection and emotional connection to a man who appreciates some of the same things in life that I do. I drink rarely and do best with someone with the same habits in that area.
One of the things on top of my list of "wants" is to connect with someone with a great sense of humor--able to laugh at himself and laugh WITH me. I'm not sure you're out there...but if you are...please write. I'm a sucker for a witty, literate man.
