Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I was born in the Panhadle of Texas.and grew up on a ranch. There were only 2300 people in the county. I went to school in a small town of 75. I decided to leave the country life when I was a teenager because I didn't like all that hard work. I moved to California just out of high school and never looked back.
I like to be busy so my interest are many but I’m not obsessed with anyone thing. I'm neat and well organized. My friends say I'm a laid back very nice man, classy, courteous and considerate.. I am also flexible and could ajust to that special persons needs.

IDEAL DATE
I would invite my new friend to dinner at an upscale restaurant in her area. We would have a candle light dinner with fine wine and the table decorated with red roses……. I feel this environment is the best way to get acquainted-------If all goes well we could continue the evening/night dancing.
I realize this maybe is too much for a first date. So anything my new friend would be comfortable with would be okay with me.

Date single man from California, United States. For now I will just say I am honest, faithful and despite my age young at heart. I have friends that are musicians and often go to their shows. I like most music but tend to favor country, both traditional and modern. I haven't done any camping or fishing for several years but would enjoy getting back to it.
