Date men from United States / California / Santa Rosa, 56 year old

Date someone special from Santa Rosa, United States. Hello!
You know, it just shouldn't be this difficult. If I drew a circle on a map that was 5o miles across centered on my house, it would contain over 5 million people. Why is it so tough to find that one person?
A combination of opposites, I'm very easy going, but serious when need be, quiet on the outside but the wheels are turning inside, fully present, always mindful, reliable, adventurous, and most of all a drama free, fun guy! I'm semi retired and for now doing freelance photography. I used to be an aircraft mechanic, yes I do have my pilots license and an instrument rating but haven't flown since retiring from airplanes. I love to explore. Lots to tell, ask me...
Im looking for some one who likes to be active and has a positive outlook on life. Im looking for some one to get old and gray with, a partner to share and explore with, a relationship for life. I like to go places and do things like farmers markets and street fairs. I like to visit San Francisco to take advantage of the great entertainment and eating spots.
I'd love to hear from you.

Date someone special from United States. Hi and thanks for reading my profile!
I'm tall, dark, and single.
My parents are Ecuadorian.
I was born on May 1, 1956 in Manhattan, New York, at St. Vincent's Hospital, very close to the World Trade Center. When I was six, my family moved to Los Angeles, where I was raised.
I try to go to church on Sundays, but I need some extra encouragement. Lately I've been watching TV church.
My two boys live with me part time, the youngest being in the high school graduating class of 2013. The oldest is in college at the JC.
I like to go out with friends and am looking forward to making some new ones. I would like to meet a Christian gal who wants to go to church too, who is family oriented, and believes that a good relationship has Jesus in the center of it.
People who say that religious beliefs should be kept to themselves or is between them and God (mostly the "spiritual but not religious" type, but not all), should know that I am not ashamed of my belief and actually the Bible says to shout it out so I try.
I'm a professional with my own office in Santa Rosa and have a flexible schedule. I've been there since 1997.
I think one has to get to know someone real well these days in order to feel that special connection to them that would allow the relationship to last. I believe marriage vows should not be broken so easily and only for good reason. (That's why they say, " for better, for worse...).
I hope this information in a nutshell is sufficient to establish a fair initial impression of my character. However, I will also say that my friends and family know me as a screwball at times, as probably most of your families do too after the fascade we put up is removed. Laughter is the best medicine.
Since winks are a free service to non-subscribers, I wouldn't know if returning one would begin a rappor, so I won't respond to them (unless they're in person).
Peace and love.

Meet single man from United States. About me. I'm told I'm young looking. I don't dye my hair. most of the grey is in a beard if i let it grow. I have a nice smile. I have a sarcastic sense of humor sometimes and I can get in trouble with that. Am quiet and goofy. But I can speak up when needed. I love music and play classical guitar. I come from a family of wood workers, mechanics, and jack of all trades, but that's not me. However, I can cook and enjoy doing it. Clothes shopping makes my back hurt. So when I do go shopping with you (and I do) know that its a true labor of love:) I enjoy laughing - who doesn't - at me and with me, its all good. I want to help people. That's my purpose in life and of course have fun doing it. One of the best feelings I've had in a while was paying for the groceries of a family of four in front of me in line, not knowing if I could really afford to do it. After the initial sticker shock (can a family of four eat that much?), the feeling was great! I like taking what I think are short cuts that end up being long cuts, but finding something new in the process. I'm a pretty good heater - I don't mind popsicle toes:)
My children are grown, once committed, monogamy is what I do and what I assume.
what am i looking for? I really am looking for a LTR . I made my mistakes and I think I have learned a few things about myself and how healthy relationships can work. I'm eager to test that! I have looked at alot of profiles and its easy to say I like going to movies, museums, camping, hiking, travel, good conversation over coffee... I like all those things and more. I like being active. The deeper part is so much more subtle. Chemistry is a biggie but even that, plus mutual interests doesn't necessarily make IT. I think a large part is "getting" your partner - reading the way they display and express love and affection and of course they getting you. Everyone does that so differently! The continuum ranges from the clearly disfunctional - either obsessed with your partner or completely cold/aloof("but I got her a nice house to live in!") type - to everything inbetween. Here are some attributes that I am looking for: smart, sensual, feisty, pragmatic, kind, loyal, generous, fights fair, looks forward to making up, independent, nobody's fool but willing to take the risk, honest, values relationships over things, not a purest (a hot dog is OK once in awhile:) willing to listen and be listened to
Understanding your partner, willing to bend toward them, and not be too serious about it all.

Date a soulmate from United States. I believe in mystery, instead of a big sales pitch up front. Basics: I am handsome, intelligent, funny at times. I am very caring, giving, and loving, very affectionate, very easy going, and I am loyal and honest.
I love the outdoors, and would rather be out than in.
Love strolls on the beach, picking up rocks to polish, walks in the park holding hands. I have many hobbies,I love photography, I am the ultimate DIY'er, and can fix about anything, if it is repairable. I have many, many, other interests as well, and would love to meet someone who will have time to travel and play in the near future.
I like to communicate and share ideas, thoughts, and insights. I believe chemistry and common interests are very important.
I am not looking for perfection. Just looking for a sweet, easy-going, intelligent, communicative gal, who loves to have fun, and is flexible, with varied interests. One to share with and learn from, and someone who sees value in the simple things in life. Whether it be walking hand in hand along the beach, or picking an apple from a tree. Of course I like to go out to dinner as well, love to go to live music concerts, art galleries, museums, window shopping, walks in the park, etc.
Looking for someone attractive, easy going, and always fun to be with. Someone who truly loves themselves, and loves and appreciates life. I would like someone who is affectionate and loves affection, PDA's are big on my list of turn-on's. I am very affectionate and a great kisser, and you can never give or get too many hugs.
p.s. I am also very flexible, and if the woman I am with wants me to go shopping with her for clothes, help clean the house, etc., I am more than happy to do what she is happy doing, as long as there is a happy medium and it goes both ways.

Meet a man from United States. Hi, I'm Colman. My friends say that I am easy going, a people person and a great listener. I currently work for Golden Gate Transit as a bus operator. I drove a school bus for 17 years, so I like children. I was also a volunteer firefighter for 22 years. Fire engines and trucks intrigue me. As you can see I love to drive. I like to work but my time off is important also. I have lived in Santa Rosa for 29 years
My favorite music is classic rock and roll, I will listen to most music except rap and heavy metal. My match would be fun, loving, caring, FASHIONABLE, likes perfume and cologne on her man. Willing to put up with my different working hours and days off. She would like to spend as much time together as possible. She would love to hold hands while walking and the spontaneous hug and kiss and of course PDA.
I am looking for a long term relationship with a lady that is a GIVER not a taker. A woman that would like to spend time together cooking at home, go to the movies or going out for a nice romantic dinner. Even a burger at In N Out would be good, that's my favorite. I like Mexican and Asian food.
I like action/adventure and comedy movies. My favorite TV shows are NCIS, Criminal Minds and Without a Trace. I am not much into working out at a gym. I love to walk anywhere, not so much into hiking. I treat a lady like a lady with respect. I AM a gentleman, always have been. My mom taught me well, thanks Mom RIP.
