Date a man from California, United States. Romantic sole. Love to laugh often at myself. Look forward to new adventures in travel. A great friend, love people . Adore my grandchildren and spoil them when ever the situation occurs. Can dress up or down depending on the situation. Try to enjoy each day, have fun and learn.
Looking for a girl who is low maintenance, cares about others more than self. Fun to be around and appreciates everything that is done for her. Someone who you can hold a conversation with that is on the same plane as you. A person who takes good care of herself and is open to new ideas. One who makes a great friend. If you have these qualities let me hear from you.

Meet someone special from California, United States. I'm an English major from New York, traditional in some ways but a true loner and explorer in others. I try to know my feelings and stick with them.
I love to laugh and enjoy people who can make me laugh..
My kids are somewhere out in the world leading their own lives. I have no other ties. If we should ever decide to stay together I’m yours.
I love dogs and like cats but don't have any of my own. I think birds are the most fascinating, mysterious and miraculous of all creatures. I never cease to wonder why they fly and what made them decide to learn.
I come from an athletic family. My father was a champion tennis player and I inherited his body. I am muscular and well-coordinated. I take good care of myself. Recently I told one of the kids at the gym how old I am. "Boy," he said, "you are really ahead of the game." Perhaps. Sometimes I look young and boyish, but at other times not so much.
I am a Jewish agnostic who believes in a moral universe. The God I believe in is not anthropomorphic but perhaps more like the Force in Star Trek. I've done my share of traveling and would love to do more. I once lived in a Buddhist monastery in India, and worked on yachts in the Virgin Islands, and climbed with the Colorado Mountain Club in Boulder. I still hike often.
To know me best, you'd need to know what's on my iPod. I love all music but especially Classical and Rock. The Stones and Pink Floyd are my favorites, also Moody Blues and the Beatles. My favorite classical composers are Bach, Mozart, Mahler. I like Scott Joplin rags and the American pop greats Gershwin and Porter.
I once lived in Manhattan and wrote TV commercials exactly the way it's portrayed in my favorite series MAD MEN. I appreciate good movies and will go out of my way to see one. My favorite painters are the abstract expressionists.
I think it's important to learn the kind of partner you work best with. That's who you want to look for.
My head was so filled with fantasies when I was young. How hard it is to grow older and watch those dreams vanish in the light of reality, to face who you are and who you are not. I try to become the person I really am, and to understand that person, whoever he turns out to be. I've stopped looking for Playmate of the Month who, even if she existed, would surely have no interest in me.
What if you met someone you could love more than anyone else on earth? Would you recognize it in time to grab hold of that person and never let go?
