Date men and women from United States / California / Strathmore, 69 year old

Date a man from California, United States. i am recently widowed on fixed income. i am flirty but totally faithful. i would enjoy meeting a lady that loves to have fun must be honorable and dependable. hopefully she will be in decent health and independent. she must have a civil mouth even if angry.
to me honesty and respect is the basis of a good relationship. i expect to be treated honorably and she can expect the same in return.
i have had good times and rough times in a 43 yr relationship. i have 2 daughters, 4 grand kids, and 3 great grand kids i would hope to share their love with you and if your kids are willing would love to share them as well to me love is like a tender plant that grows slowly.
at times i have a potty mouth but would be willing to work toward its control
im like a old teddy bear but i do have teeth and if forced to use them i will bite.
my present social life was set by a wife that didnt like to be around people but times have changed
i would ask that u check me out lets do this a day at a time. Lets be honest with ourselves and each other if together we fly, well and good. if not lets remain friends.

Meet men and women from California, United States. I am looking for a friend who doesn't take them selves to seriously. one who has worked hard in the past and is willing to slow just a little and smell the roses.
I like road trips to anywhere, might even get on a big bird and international a bit. so if you think this might be something for you, give me a nudge.
