Date men from United States / California / Santa Ana, 46 year old

Date single man from Santa Ana, United States. Thanks for checking out my profile. I am looking for someone that shares most of the things I like and also is willing to introduce me to some things they like. Lets chat and see where this goes. I am looking for a best friend that can lead to a serious relationship and a family.
My ideal date would: Have a positive attitude, be low maintenance, be outgoing, spontaneous and fun, be attractive to me and have chemistry with me, have completed college or is attending college, be in or pursuing a fulfilling career, like to travel (even quick long weekend trips), have a similar passion for skiing/snowboarding, like to exercise and play sports regularly, like to dance, like to watch movies (going to movie theater is fine, but snuggling at home with you and a fire is preferred), willing to try new things and show me new things, willing to accept me as I am not think of me as a work in process, enjoys going out and enjoys staying in too. Bonus if you are a good cook (Believe it or not I can cook too. Dad was an army cook and we all learned too. And besides, I love to eat especially sweets).
I am originally from Michigan but moved to CA in 1991 for six months that has turned into a lifetime. I come from a large Italian family with four brothers and countless aunts, uncles, and cousins. My parents were one of the rare couples, in love and married 45 years “until death do us part”. My mom still lives in Michigan near one of my brothers and the rest of us are all over the country, including two here in CA. Graduated from the University of Michigan. I am actively involved with my alumni out here, especially as die hard Wolverine football fans. Been in a rewarding and successful career in banking since leaving school. Currently I manage the OC office for a large community business bank. Been an interesting ride in this economy the past few years, that is for sure.
When I am not working, I enjoy a wide variety of things, mostly active and mostly outdoors. Love the mountains and of course skiing (and am told that I am very good at Apre’ Skiing too!!!). Joined a ski club and we go to Mammoth about once a month. In addition I like to take at least one out of state ski trip each year, so far I have been to Utah, Colorado and Whistler recently. I would like to find someone that share my passion for skiing(or snowboarding), bonus if you can keep up in the steeps and speed too, but can settle for the Apres Ski side too. I generally work out 3-5 times a week or more at the gym and do enjoy rollerblading or biking on the beach and playing tennis too. Love to dance to classic rock and roll music whenever I can. I like adventure and trying new things, an unknown "bucket list" that I keep adding to.
One of my favorite quotes is “If you are not actively involved in getting what you want, you don’t really want it.” What do I want? Wouldn’t you like to know????? Well you will have to email me if you want to know!!! Not into the winks. Not into long drawn out emails and phone calls, let’s chat briefly, talk on the phone briefly and meet in person and see if we are a good match. I believe in the golden rule, treat others as you wish to be treated. If you email me, I will always email you back. Hopefully that karma will rub off on you when I email you. If you take the shy way and just wink, no guarantee of hearing from me. If you think we are a good match, I hope to hear from you. Thanks again for looking me up.

Meet someone special from Santa Ana, United States. I'm a kind, good hearted Southern gentleman who has lived a fun and successful life. I was raised in Tennessee, gradated college and moved West. I stay in excellent shape, am ambitious and have achieved most of my major goals in life. I'm hoping to find a woman that is attractive and in great physical condition, and who has a truly happy and easy going personality. I'm looking for honesty, a kind and caring spirit, and affectionate.
I have two grown daughters from a long term marriage, and they are both established in their careers and have a great business acumen. I have always remained very close with both of them.
I am searching for that special person where the chemistry pops on the first meeting. Then we can enjoy travel adventures, and fun little local places to wine taste or have lunch, or just walk along the beach together. Perhaps that is you. I hope so.
My most recent photos state the date, so please read the caption. Thanks, and I am not live on this site yet, since I cannot figure out how to correct my age. I am 56 years old. My apologies for this.
