Date single man from Vallejo, United States. First impression: "He's tall (big)" and "he seems comfortable with himself, and others.....smiles a lot". Lots of education and I've enjoyed it all. I am creative with ideas, curious to others' perspectives, and past the need to dominate /win. I've done the serious questions, spent my time in spiritual quests, and now mostly try to enjoy myself and my fellow travelers. The idealism of my youth remains in my romanticism, tempered, of course, by the pragmatic. I'm known as a man who lives by his word.
I've gone through several career choices, and have been teaching high school for 25 years. I enjoy kids; they're interesting and often funny. I've been ballroom dancing for 25years (inactive the last 10 but want to return), enjoying the non-verbal male-female involvement. On my 3rd tuxedo; I enjoy a lady who likes to dress. However, mostly, I am casual and informal, playful and wry. I get down dirty, up in the Sierra camping a couple of weeks, each summer, but I do like my Queen mattress in my tent trailer. I keep season tickets to the symphony and to the theater. I volunteer usher at Napa Valley Opera House. Get into the city once or twice weekly for CommonWealth Club programs.
A metaphor: the image I see is a boy and girl, maybe 5 years old, playing together in a sandbox. Sometimes they play together and sometimes, each does his/her own thing. They like each other and they enjoy their hours and their days, whatever they're doing. Beyond that, I'm not particularly concerned blonde, brunette, or redhead or any other particular. I will find her fascinating and of interest in our conversations.
