Date men and women from United States / California / Santa Cruz, 63 year old

Date a soulmate from United States. Being a "widower" is much different than being separated, divorced, etc. You still love the person, they're just not there. It's been nearly two years now and I have dealt with it pretty well. In times like this you find out who are really your family and who are really your friends. So now, here we go. I'm just a guy so I need guy stuff. A great little place in Santa Cruz, 5 minutes walk to the beach. As a jeweler, I have a really solid workbench where I can pound on metal with hammers. Lots of pots, pans, knives and cooking apps. I know the names of at least 4 of the flowers (out of 50) so I sound like an expert if the conservation ever gets to the plants.
I'm third generation Swedish. I lived in Europe until I was ten. We lived in Germany and France. I am seriously hooked on the French culture. I have relatives in France. I lived with my French wife for twenty two years in Santa Cruz.
We were walking down the Champs Elysees in Paris one day. We were walking behind two very beautiful, young French women. I asked, "Why are the French women so beautiful? She turned to me and said "Because we are." This from my woman who lived in the shadow of the Moulin Rouge for most of her young life.
The French celebrate their life with passion every day as do I. I can love you passionately, inside and outside. The face is only a small part of that.
I am a young, healthy and very curious man. I have made millions and I spent it all on my wife with no regrets. Now I live in Santa Cruz in a very nice little place close to the beach. Santa Cruz is the closest thing to Nice, in the beautiful south of France, that we have in America.
I have an A.A. in The Philosophy of Science and Technology and a B.A. in Fine Arts from Cal. State Fullerton. I enjoy making one of a kind, very unique, jewelry pieces with silver, gold and beautiful stones.
I am not going to be your new guy that will settle down, watch movies and we can grow old together. I will embarrass you in a restaurant and we will laugh about it. I will pretend that you are a world famous food critic and we will get the red carpet treatment. We will go to comic clubs where we will be funnier than the comedians and they will call us names. We will cook together and complain that restaurants can’t cook.
It has been a few years since I was last in France. I’m getting my French back again however. It feels good. I live every day like it was my last, without the grief!

Meet people from United States. I just emerged from my cave and am looking for my Jane. I have a very strong upper body from all of that tree swinging.
When I see an old couple walking together, holding hands it makes me happy. I am grateful for my family and friends who I have known for most of my life.
I am looking for a woman who can communicate and be a good listener. She should lead a healthy lifestyle.
I like to cook and share a good bottle of wine with a great meal that I have prepared.
I also am well trained and put the seat down.

Date someone special from United States. Although still active in my job and career, I value community building and find it through volunteering - particularly in guiding children and adults in learning the wonders of marine life and the natural sciences.
I highly value, and greatly benefit from, the communication skills I have learned through NVC (Non-Violent Communication). What an unfortunate misnomer this practice is - it is really all about compassion, empathy, honesty, and authenticity. If it had a more appealing name, more people would be drawn to it and the world might be even better off!
As a piano player and accompanist for vocalists, I find music another way to express my passion in life.
I am pretty energetic and healthy for my age and I often pass for someone 10 years younger. Oh well - it is what it is :-)

Date single man from United States. I'm fairly easy going. The fine arts have always played an important part in my life. I have many varied interests,among them are astronomy,music (I play several instruments)gourmet cooking,photography and fine literature.I am originally from Europe(Bavaria)I attended school in Switzerland,Germany and the US.I have worked in the entertainment industry over 35 years both as an artist and as technical support.I have travelled all over the world with several major recording artists,but when all is said and done it sure is nice to sit in front of the fireplace with that certain someone and have a glass of wine at the end of the day,while you watch the silver moonlight dancing on the waves.What really appeals to me in a woman is someone who has a great sense of humor and feels good about herself,and is not afraid to laugh.Being well read is also a plus.I also would like to find a woman who is not afraid of commitment. Life seems to be more meaningful when you have a partner to share your experiences with.Let's face it, we've all had bad relationships,we need to learn from them and move on.Life is too short to dwell on the past.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Life is so short. Let's appreciate what is. It keeps getting better and better as I envision it, create it, and grow. I am fun loving, passionate,playful, serious,artistic, and cultured. I feel best when I'm working my body, and moutain bike as often as I can on the cliffs overlooking the ocean. I practice yoga daily.. I also like a balance of mental stimulation and love to read. I'm concerned about making the world a better place., love to camp, garden, hike, bike, play tennis, do yoga, dance, love fine cuisine, love to cook, and eat all organic. No Republicans please. Love music, all kinds, and concerts. I grew up on the East coast, went to school in Massachusetts, danced professionally (modern dance) and performed around the world, living in Hong Kong, and traveling widely . But I always knew I wanted a family and clean air, and that could never be in NYC. I am looking for a lifetime partner, a playmate, someone who is ready to create an adventure with one woman. Interested? Write to me and let the adventure begin.The man I seek is honest,playful, educated, cultured, fun loving, humorous, sociable, spiritual, kind, and physically fit. He is sophisticated but equally comfortable gettin'down and dirty. He is physically active, inquisitive,loves the outdoors, is unthreatened by an independent woman, and interested in listening to others as well as in sharing parts of himself. Honesty and kindness are absolutes. He is both childlike and wise and unafraid to show both sides of himself. He is not macho, but knows how to be a man, while appreciating a feminine, but not a passive or submissive woman.
