Date a soulmate from Santa Monica, United States. Hi! Thanks for stopping by. TMI follows!
Happy, enduring relationship are anchored in deep friendship and warm companionship which we create together through an unhurried course that must be honored and nurtured - tons of laughter, chocolate and a little good luck don't hurt either. We like one another, make each other laugh, have shared interests and values and want to spend time together making memories. You are beautiful to me; I look good too you!
I want to meet a smart, wise, happy, warm, affectionate, highly ethical woman with traditional values, who never or very rarely drinks any alcohol, does not smoke anything, is not using psych. meds (very sorry), who loves cats and all animals - and is NOT a Republican under any flag! Your humor, warmth, kibitzing and playfulness are indispensible. Being emotionally mature, present and at peace with yourself are exceptionally important. Extra credit for Girl Scout Merit Badges - and uniform!
All of my information is accurate; please have the same, or please tell me now! My photos are dated 2006 -2010. Yes, yes, I know! - newer photos are coming within my lifetime - but I seem to look the same now as in my latest photos.
I am pleased with my life's accomplishments, some of them exceptional - Charles Dickens would have loved my marvelous adventure. I am fortunate to have gained a broad, serendipitous and unique range of experience and education. I am a second generation LA native. Corner paper boy at 14, auto mechanic and out on my own at 16 and a business owner at 22. I then engaged in sales, manufacturing, service, accounting and management professions along the way and was lastly a Union President. I am now actively retired and training as an actor and having a fine time. By necessity, my humor has grown with every new experience!
I have a modest, comfortable, artistically inclined home that I regard as a warm sanctuary. I am financially responsible and fortunate to have lifetime medical insurance. My teeth are great and my dentist is wealthy!
I enjoy art, literature, classical and artful music, some opera, theater, film, design, science, the world of ideas, food, nature, anywhere near (mostly not on) water, impromptu adventures, day trips and longer travel when possible. I would love to finally see England with you - and take in Paris and Rome as a bonus!
I take a measured approach to enjoying my life and my broad range of interests and am not “driven” or "planned out"; I would enjoy relaxing peacefully at home with you just kibitzing and laughing, or watching the light change on the water - and whatever other spontaneous mischief we might invent.
I am present, open and genuine. I am very warm, attentive and affectionate. I laugh a lot and find humor in most things, even my foibles - I’ll smile at your foibles, come to adore most of them - and will cope with the rest.
I comfort, protect and look out for you first. I am concerned for our children and animals, and I do what I can for our Mother Earth. I need your smile, involvement, comfort, caring and presence as well. I delight in opening the door for you. I look in your eyes when we talk and I look for the humor in our lives. I do the right thing, even when no one is looking and want to associate with people who do the same. I am mostly a Truman Liberal. I tip at take-outs and am courteous to servers. My daughter, son in law, grand-kids, friends and my loveable indoors-only Rescue-Cats, Gracie and Buster Bear, all think I am just great! I never smoke anything, never drink any alcohol and am not on psych. meds. I have no tattoos or piercings, don’t gamble, ride motorcycles, bungee-jump, sky-dive - or drive and phone at the same time - and I have never been arrested!
BONUS; I know how to fix things and how to chop vegetables!
Let's meet and eat! If the ineffable occurs - Great! If not, then we had a very nice date - and possibly made a new friend.
Meet single man from Santa Monica, United States. Those Toddling Years: I was completely consumed with learning how to walk and talk, not dissimilar to what you were doing.
About The Tweens: Plying my skills as a soda jerk at my dad's corner drug store. Speedskating in competitions around the Midwest. Who knew about rollerblading then.
Teenage Times: High School "sock hops", editor
of school newspaper, tennis team member and discovering girls.
My twenties and thirty's: Earning bachelor's, master's and law degrees. Enjoying my maiden voyage to Europe. Getting married. And realizing that all sorts of things interested me... art, architecture, music, theater, wine, nonfiction, travel, food, film.

And continuing that theme (enjoying life), I moved to CA. about 5 years ago. I guess you could say that I'm not afraid of change. I love the serenity of the beach with its beautiful sunsets and its ever changing sky/water paintings. But I also enjoy the vitality of Santa Monica's "main street" environment.
You should be curious about life and have good common sense. Above all, you should be at peace with yourself and consider your glass half full rather than half empty. Being tolerant of differing views but firm in your beliefs are good qualities. Good friends are important to you and you show loyalty to and compassion for those you love. And of course, that much needed attractive chemistry.
