Date men from United States / California / Sebastopol, 59 year old

Date someone special from United States. I'm active - I teach high school special education in Northern California. I love to travel, play guitar, mandolin and piano. I also cook a lot and fish during the summer. I would like a match who enjoys music, theater, traveling and romance. Spontaneous and upbeat a must; be an "off the beaten path" person like me.
I'm attracted to smart women, humor, nicely turned ankles, soft skin, singing, an adventurous spirit - also, I am a sucker for a pretty face.
I am half Sicilian and Half Bulgarian; second child of a war hero and a roller derby queen. Raised an hour north of Manhattan, so I am a country boy. I live in West Sonoma County and love the countryside and the pace and the ability to be in SF in an hour. My heroes are Les Paul, Carl Safina, Warren Zevon, Jimmy Carter, Thomas Lauderdale, Martina Navratilova and my parents.
I love teaching because I know I will never get it right and that is the greatest challenge. It keeps me coming back to it every day. Education is the most complex set of human dynamics in all of creation. There is nothing that compares to the level of responsibility and importance inherent in this field. I have to work with colleagues I can learn from, and I've been lucky to have plenty of those over the years. I am up for some travel, any kind of dining, fine or funky, live music, live theater, wine tasting, dog walking, exploring...
Happy Trails!

Meet a man from United States. I find myself spending most of my time gardening, reading, and spending time talking to friends, to which I am grateful for their support and companionship. I would like to find my best friend and partner to share this and more.

Date a soulmate from United States. I am learning more and more about being open minded to living life on it's own terms. Reacting less, grateful more.
I run a business and I have had to learn management, (not who I am) but getting better at it.
The busines has survived and I know I'm lucky to have it. It pays the bills and it has allowed me to explore so many great places and pursue so many dreams with more to come.
I invented hardware for my industry and have other ideas for invention that come up all the time.
I have traveled to several states in the last few years, hiked in many different wildernesses. Love to experience wildlife. I love to try and get rare photos. I'm obsessed with bears. Saw one in the Arizona forest. Been to cougar tracking school in New Mexico. Came within 40' of a bull moose in the Rockies.
I love hiking, camping, rivers and lakes.
I'm writing a story about the West inspired by my hikes.
I want to learn about wild edibles.
I want to learn the Italian language.
I have begun performing as a singer.
Dying to travel to an Island, Europe, anywhere.
I have an ongoing list of things I want to do in my wallet.
I love dining out here and there, good food, seeing the sites, the night life, meeting people, the music.
Regarding a possible mate, after all this time it would be so awesome to find someone I ring with, who gets me, and to find that we get along and like each other so well that it's obvious we are good for each other.
I'm I living in a bubble? I have to believe it's possible.
Having the same interests is a plus, outdoors, sports, active.
Practice fitness, walks, yoga, healthy eating habits.
Also time to be alone, exploring the inner self and discovering misdirected tendancies and positive qualities and solutions.
On the other hand, it's fun to be sloppy once in a while, just to grin and laugh about it.
I like a woman who is warm and sweet, playful, even a little shy rather than overly confident.
But who isn't afraid to explore a little.
Easy to laugh together is always a very good sign. It's shows the compatability when it happens to the two of us rather than just one is laughing.
Sometimes I think I know what I'm talking about, but not always. That's why it's good to have friends. To reflect. Having a special friend is even better!!

Date someone special from Sebastopol, United States. I appreciate beauty in people, places, things.
I've worked on personal growth for many years. I have worked so I would not have to work so much. Expanding interests in exercise, music, singing,and hobbies.
Different kinds of humor for different occasions. Silly, witty, sarcastic, and Gary Larson. I can and do laugh, at myself, too.
I like sharing feelings, insights, observations, and support for my mate. Making decisions together is important. Being mutually honest and trusting is essential.
I allow myself to be vulnerable, passionate, masculine and talk from the heart.
I am looking for good chemistry.
To share intimacy as we let ourselves unfold and as trust matures.
(i do not know what it is about you that closes and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands
