Date women from United States / California / Santa Ynez, 64 year old

Date a woman from United States. I know it's a high-tech world, but I believe that two people should communicate in person when talking about themselves, their dreams and the world around them.
Do you agree?
I will tell you this much about myself, my favorite personal photo is me perched atop a pony at the age of six. It seems to say what I wanted in life to go places, and live out west (born and lived in the midwest) have animals to keep me company, and have a desire to form a bond with important people in my life.
I'm looking for companionship, someone I can talk to and will listen, a man that will value time together. Openly communicates his thoughts and is wiling to listen to mine. Bottom line I'm not looking for a man that is lookingjust for fun, nor a guy that must commit to forever, but someone with manners and class, who knows life as we know it should be cherished each day as if it were our last.
