Date men and women from United States / California / Santa Clara, 73 year old

Date single man from California, United States. I believe that exercise, passion and humor are the medicines for a healthy life. Being physically active moves me through a stressful day and promotes a good sense of well being. I work at maintaining a positive attitude in most everything I do and laugh at myself more often now as I 'mature'. Several of my passions are working in my garden, doing home improvements, cycling and hiking through the South Bay hills close to nature. I look forward to sharing the experiences of travel, concerts, opera and the theater. I can also be content going to a good movie or absorbed in a good book. I enjoy dancing for the pure fun of it but it also provides a certain rhythmic intimacy that I find important between partners. A loving relationship takes daily care in achieving a balance between intimate togetherness and respectful distance. Our passions need some room to grow and blossom. They become a unique part of us and add to the pleasure of sharing. I seek a woman who is physically active and is passionate about some aspect of her life. That passion brings about focus, accomplishment and personal joy. Additionally I would like her to be open to emotional growth and the sharing of spirituality. I am attracted to a warm smile, a laugh and an affectionate touch. I think playfulness is such an intimate and bonding experience and it makes approaching those tough relationship issues just a little bit easier. I have retired from full time employment and have started up a small business which has been very rewarding. I recently returned from a Nile River cruise and had a great time. Next stop, Greece, Turkey or Australia.
