Date someone special from California, United States. As I might have already implied, I am going through the maturing process and would like to find a lovely lady, gracious and smartly turned out, 'cleans up well', still youthful and fun but respectful of mature interests...and expectations ( e.g. no rap music, Hannah Montana, ) Britney is OK. Make rest of life fun, full, adventuresome..Family ties to be sustained and nurtured as I will mine. A Lady who wants to 'live a novel not write one'...For example, Sail the Queen Mary 2 from NY to SouthHampton, dressed in 1920's garb and be Gary Grant and Grace Kelly...etc.
