Date women from United States / California / Santa Cruz, 67 year old

Date a woman from United States. Hi there — thanks for stopping by to get acquainted. I'm Cinnabon because my heart's somewhere in the Spice Islands, — the tropical source of magical flavors and transformative experiences, — and I'm naturally sweet and warm as well as spicy. Overall I'm fulfilled and happy because I love teaching and learning. I believe in working hard and playing harder, which has given me a full life. Perhaps my greatest blessing is my ability to connect with most people about most topics. In the running stream of my life, I've learned to flow around the unexpected boulders so that obstacles never stop me for long. This skill has seen me through my transitions of the recent decade — from happily married to widow, and now to exploring the dating scene. So my life is sweet and full and will be only more sweet and full with a wonderful man to play and share and explore with :-) When I love, I love completely and unconditionally — Believe me, if you can captivate me with your heart, charm me with your wit, and lavish me with focused attention when I ask for it, I'll make your life sweeter for you every day and every night. You'll have my passion and compassion, my acceptance and support. I'm a big believer in the importance of giving men space and freedom to create the lives they most deeply want to create. If you're the right man, our connection will enrich our individuality as well as celebrate our commitment to each other.
Because I love men for their virtues and their flaws, I know how to forgive and hope you can do the same if I mess up. I admire a man who has a sense of purpose in his life, who really thinks about and acts on how he can improve his friendships, his community, and the world. I seek out and respect energetic 'masculine' men attuned to nature and who stay vigorous by outdoor activities. Since I'm financially independent, I appreciate a man with financial skills, a man who knows how to save and spend appropriately, who can hold up his end of an equal financial partnership and maybe eventually join me in supporting environmental, educational or other projects of mutual interest. I'm drawn to a clear and honest communicator with a good sense of humor, someone who is thoughtful and spiritual rather than religious. My practice is to make others happy which leads to my own happiness, and to be grateful; both happiness and gratitude multiply like sunlight reflected by a thousand mirrors. In general, I'd rather be doing than watching, so I prefer exploring wild lands or great cities on foot or even in a 4WD or sports car to watching TV. I love sailing, snorkeling and visiting timeless Pacific islands like Hawaii and Bali, where I can wear garlands around my neck and wiggle my toes in the warm sand. I love all kinds of music, and I'm happiest when the pulse is traveling up and down my body, setting me free. Come dance with me and feel the flow between us . . .
Since I enjoy exotic peoples and cultures and have friends in many corners of the world, I visit tropical Asia twice a year and Europe at least every two years. I'll appreciate your sense of adventure, your curiosity and engagement in the world, and your passion for international travel, intercultural experiences, and the arts. I do have some favorite spectator pastimes: attending cultural events, classical and world music, occasionally watching sports in good company. I also passionately support and enjoy my adopted teenage daughter who adds wonderful color to my life, though all too soon I expect she'll launch into the world of college and work. While I love entertaining friends at home, growing organic veggies in my garden and playing with my cat or your dog, for me nothing beats watching wild animals in a natural setting. Recently, I've trekked distant rainforests to video gibbons and other endangered wildlife. Magical! I know there's someone special who'll be excited to meet me and get acquainted. If my words resonate, please write me to share yourself. — Cinnabon

Meet someone special from United States. Are you a kind, communicative, honest, affectionate and demonstrative man who fundamentally loves and respects women?
IРІР‚в„ўm a city slicker and a country girl; a homebody and an adventurer; serious and funny; simple and sophisticated; social and enjoy my time alone. IРІР‚в„ўm also warm, affectionate, kindhearted, romantic, unpretentious, spontaneous, artistic, open-minded, generally happy and optimistic, sensitive, enthusiastic, moved by beauty in its many forms, innovative, financially self-sufficient, grateful, fun-loving, and committed to ongoing personal growth and good health.
IРІР‚в„ўm somewhat of a bleeding heart liberal. We probably wouldnРІР‚в„ўt be compatible if you voted for George Bush, watch a ton of TV or are very religious.
Life brings continual changes, of course, but right now this is how I spend much of my time:
Maintain an online business; work at a local jazz club, both for money and volunteering; work with Hospice as a grief support volunteer; visit my sons and grandbaby in southern California; make things; hike with different friends and groups; bicycle (I love multi-day trips); walk dogs at the ASPCA; get together with friends for movies or dinners out; play viola in a chamber music group and orchestra; read; cook; garden; listen to music; travel to Oregon to see family and friends; and remain open to spontaneous opportunities as they arise.
Things I want to do soon:
Get a dog; bicycle in Vietnam, walk the Camino de Santiago in September with my brother who is getting married in Spain, take more road trips and camping trips, spend more time in Yosemite and other amazing places, as well as Manhattan, Paris, London…
IРІР‚в„ўd like to meet someone who yearns for a long-term, monogamous relationship to cherish and honor, and who values emotional and physical intimacy, but am also open to finding male friends and companions. An affectionate, kind, communicative, trustworthy and loving nature is far more important to me than things like height, weight, handsome face, charisma, intellectual prowess. If we can laugh together and just enjoy being together, wow, thatРІР‚в„ўs pretty good, right?
IРІР‚в„ўm looking forward so much to meeting you!

Not looking for a heavy drinker or stoner but moderation is fine. i used to have a boat and like to sail. I'm a democrat and from the east coast and not intersted in fighting about politics! In my youth I lived in a lot of communes trying to get back to nature. Now I'm into living easy!

Date someone special from Santa Cruz, United States. I am fortunate to have wonderful health, family and friends. I have always been told that I look at least 10 years younger than my years. Those years have given me a maturity and an amount of life experience to know to be kind, giving and loving to those important to you. Above all, I have a lust for learning new things and live every day as fully as possible. Mostly, I wake up happy to wonder at a "brand new day."
I am also honest with my feelings and am an open book with my friends. There is no time in my world for hidden agendas.
My youngest went off to Law School last year and I recently sold a small publishing company that I owned for 20 years. Now I am semi-retired and ready to find a friend/partner to travel with or to just enjoy a walk on the beach with intelligent and thoughtful conversation.

Meet a soulmate from Santa Cruz, United States. Optimistic, sentimental, and an independent thinker. I listen, observe, and participate. I am drawn to the outdoors and activity. Always have been. I play a fair bit of golf, and in winter I ski when I can get to the mountains. I also like the inside stuff. I'm at home at home, like to curl up with a good book and, when I can't play, watch sports on tv, but I'm not any kind of tv addict. Get out and about as much as possible. Adventurous, I spent ten particularly satisfying years living and working in both Southeast Asia and South
America, highlighted by growth, understanding, patience, humility, and saudade.
I like to laugh; others who laugh easily are a gift to me. "Life is really pretty good if you don't take yourself too seriously."
I am curious to learn and to explore. I am more than comfortable with spontaneity, an expanding of new horizons. I am close to my family, though it's small, and I feel lucky to have lifelong friends who are stalwart and embracing.
I am looking to meet someone who has similar interests, is active, likes to converse, to laugh, to grow, to do. I am interested in someone open and caring. And if you like to golf, that only adds to the mix.

Date a woman from California, United States. People say I'm kind, fun, interesting, smart, generous and loyal; quick to smile; that I'm easy to talk to. I'm adventurous, like physical activities, and like to try new things.
In this phase of my life my goals are to learn more, keep my mind active and my body fit and healthy; enjoy friends, family, travel and am looking forward to Spring and bicycling, kayaking, playing tennis. I love the arts, music, parks. I also like boats, having had both a sailboat and a powerboat.
Why am I here? To see if I can find fun, friends, companionship, and maybe a loving relationship, if I'm lucky.

Meet someone special from California, United States. My friends describe me as positive and enthusiastic with a great sense of humor. I love to kid around, am physically active and have always enjoyed doing rather than watching. I've been told that I act and look much younger than my "age." There are many things that interest me and that I enjoy: trips in the U.S. (recently Hawaii, Maine, WA) and abroad (Spain, Portugal, China), beach walking, swimming and boogie boarding, movies, art museums, painting and drawing, reading, gardening, hikes, Farmer's markets, dining out. I'm semi-retired and work only a few hours a week as a small business consultant within my own consulting firm. I take art classes whenever I can.
I'd like to get to know you and your friends and family by doing some of these things together and being open to what may develop between us. Let's talk and share what we deeply feel and believe. I think I'll know you when we meet for the first time because I expect my heart to race, my blood to churn, and my body to tingle. In other words, our sparks will fly.
My small family is close by and is very important to me, as are the friendships I've made over my lifetime. My daughter who lives locally is expecting her first child in October. I want you to be a part of my family.
I imagine you may be my "best ever" friend for starters, open, honest, and generous with yourself and will enjoy some of the same things I do as well as having your own particular interests that I can learn about.
And, probably one of the most important things: we'll have fun together and if something more serious develops naturally, that's just fine!
