Date men and women from United States / California / Walnut Creek, 62 year old

Date a man from California, United States. "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." Sometimes I feel like I am an ordinary man who is living an extraordinary life and I am looking for a woman who is willing to be open, honest and who is looking to create an extraordinary life with someone like me. Communication is the key to any relationship. Being open about who you are and what you want and being true to those values is very important. I enjoy life and what it can offer and the "discovery" of new things and new ideas. I have a small business in Nature photography and I have this great relationship with Nature . So, if you are willing to occasionally strap on the hiking boots for a casual stroll or a day long hike to explore the wilds of the mountains and rivers or the fascination of the city, then let's plan the trip. But we could also plan dinner and a play. The excitement and energy of a live performance is far greater than most movies. I had volunteered for Special Olympics for over 20 years, coaching and mentoring the athletes. They are my extended family. Or we could even stay at home in front of the fire talking, enjoying, making plans or being in the quiet comfort of each other. I am often a kid at heart and my learning and growing and spirituality is also important to me and I have learned that sometimes all we have to do is ask, see from our heart and it can happen.I would like to find a "partner" who is willing to consider making a very special life with someone. Give me that special woman who has a laughing, outgoing adventurous nature and who will let me steal them away occassionally and enjoy some excitement. Someone who appreciates the simple excitements of life, values communication, openness and honesty. Someone who is wlling to expand my horizons with new thoughts and ideas and places to explore and who is willing venture into my world and see through my eyes. Someone who can be touched by even a thought or a look and who can give the same. Have you gone beyond the physical realities to see deeper into life? Also, I would like to find someone who is financial secure and able to pursue a relationship with a financial future.
I am not much of a drinker so, if you really like a few drinks or enjoy a day of wine tasting, I am probably not right for you. However, if you value a guy that has always been intuitive, can be fascinated and curious about how how that process works, how life works, cares about people and our planet and has great fun with that in the process, then please contact me.

Meet people from California, United States. I consider myself to be extremely fortunate; I'm healthy and fit, have a great family and true friends. I enjoy exploring, hiking the mountains, enjoying the sound and scent of the ocean, soaking up the sun in the desert, exploring historical towns, driving Highway 1. But whatever we do, it doesn’t have to be exotic, it’s the sharing of the experience that makes it special, and I believe the simple things are most fondly remembered. I’m looking for a special person with whom to build a great relationship, and enjoy the simple contentment of being together.
I am an honest and sincere person, genuine and caring. My age is accurate but it is only a number; it’s the attitude that counts. I am ready to enjoy the best of life with the right person; she is fit and attractive, shows a touch of class, is easy to get along with, is considerate of others and honest about who she is and what she wants in a man. It would be great if you believe in karma: treat others the way you would like to be treated! Integrity, open, thoughtful and caring communication, and empathy for others are important attributes in the woman for me.
I recently enjoyed reading a profile which stated it perfectly: "I am looking for a great friend, an awesome companion, an out- of- this- world lover, and a partner that I would be thankful for everyday of my life.... and somebody who feels the same way about me." And treat me like this not just for our first year, or after 5 years or 10, but always. I know there will be issues and problems... “stuff” happens in life. But if two people love each other, they will do what it takes to make it work, and can get through anything together. I'm not afraid to show my affection for someone and I freely give it; Passion and romance are very important in my relationship.
If you want to know more about me, feel free to ask. I would like to hear from you.

I have tried on-line dating before and have read plenty of profiles, so let's be honest. Profiles are really just picture trading. You really don't know until you meet what someone is like.

Meet men and women from United States. Gentle and caring.
Caring and kind with a dry sense of humour I consider myself to be. After being a widow for several years, now I am ready and desirous in finding a special committed 'gentle' man to enjoy all that life has to offer - be it fun most of the time and challenges other times - there is no such thing as perfection.
My gentle man would be kind and sensitive to my needs as I would be to his. Honesty, integrity and trust is important to me as I am sure it would be to him. Like myself he would enjoy travelling to new places to learn about new cities, countries, and new cultures.
While I try to eat healthy and stay in shape, sometimes nothing will work better than a great gooey pastry! Seriously I practice good eating habits and go to the gym two or three times a week, especially doing Pilates and now trying to swim.
Twenty-six years ago I came to America from London, England where I lived and for seven years. (Originally from Vancouver, Canada) Since I have lived abroad I look for a gentle man who is well versed in travelling and well educated in life.
I have worked in and owned several women's boutiques and now have time to enjoy the luxuries of what life has to offer.

Date a woman from United States. Now that I have your attention! You probably can tell, I don't take myself too seriously. Here is a short version of myself:
I smile when I see babies, birds, cats, dogs, a beautfiul sunset and sunrise if I happen to be up at that time!
I LOVE to make people laugh, or at least smile.
I had a wonderful husband whom I married at age twenty .We were married until his un-timely passing almost three years ago. We produced 3 wonderful sons and I currently have 2 adorable grand-daughters! So, I know how to compromise, love, laugh, and enjoy life! We are all very close and have a wonderful time together!
I do tend to think and speak with exclaimation points....can't help it!
I believe, and I'm told , I'm lots of fun but certainly can be serious, compassionate and carry on an intelligent conversation. I love news talk radio, Politics,(I actually listen to both sides!) , movies, going out to dinner and travel.
I'm seeking a romantic, not-afraid-to-be-touchy-feely - and show emotions type of person. (If I feel comfortable with you, I'm very affectionate. I also think being romantic and affectionate are two very different things.
Photography is my current passion as well as my family. I just returned yesterday from Kona, HA and will add some wonderful pictures! (April, 2012)
Sorry, I HATE camping, but enjoy capturing nature and animals with my photography. I do love, water and the outdoors, but camping does not appeal to me. (Doesn't have to be 5 star hotels, but I do like to be comfortable and love room service when I'm by myself. If I'm with you..well.......! )
I think I'm a true, romantic , and will definitely "liven up your life"!! As the song goes" I'll give more than I get, but I just haven't me you yet1 Seeking the same!
Please e-mail me if you think this is what you are also hoping to find !

Meet a soulmate from United States. Remember "I LOVE LUCy?" Well I'm sorta like her. in the physical world.....
Intellectually, I seem to be serious and then silly and sometimes one, in the middle of the other. It's fun to discuss and debate ideas, philosophies, opinions,and decisions while bantering and teasing...about ones self and each other. I guess that makes me an intellectual. But I don't take myself too seriously and don't expect others to take verbal play too seriously either.
In the spiritual world, I'm spiritual...
Emotionally, I am friendly but slow to trust and love. When I do so, though independent, I am unconditionlly loyal, very affectionate, spontaneous, adventureous, mischievious, kind, empathetic and romantic.
I'm a life science teacher getting ready to retire soon. I'm painting after an hiatus of many years. My two dogs and many students make me laugh, as does my art. I'm looking forward to the future.
I look and act young for my age. I am shy, honest and friendly.
I'm open minded regarding favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food but don't like violent, gross or scarey books, movies, shows and music. Prefer happpy endings and optomistic information, but am a realist. Can find a time, place and mood for almost kinds of music (classic rock 'n roll, classical, country, some rap, alternative, new age, jazz, blues, show tunes, worlld wide ethnic music, etc., etc.,etc.)
Can't eat spicy food. Won't eat food that is still moving on it's own accord.
The six things I could never do without are my friends and family, humor , nature, creativity, health, and ideas.
I spend a lot of time thinking about stuff, lots and lots of stuff, good stuff, bad stuff, half baked stuff, funny stuff,smart stuff, and a whole bunch of dumb stuff.
The most private thing IРІР‚в„ўm willing to admit ...is that the first time I used the fax machine, I xeroxed everything so I'd have a copy. :@)
You should contact me if you have had a long term (10 ) years, monogonus relationship, and preferably kids and that you believe:
... we couldshare "that" mutual chemistry.
....you work on knowing yourself and facing your issues, as I am facing and working on mine.
... you enjoy humor, intellect and adventure in a friendship that is compassionate, accepting, fun and playful.
... you would be willing to negociate the issues that inevitably come up, with conversations that are intimate, respectful and mutually beneficial.
... you could slowly cultivate a rapport with me that includes physical intimacy and possibly a long term relationship.

I would love to find a companion/ friend to share my many interest. Someone that loves to laugh, have fun, and enjoy each day of life to the fullest I would love to have a good friend and hopefully find love.

My journey in life is to love myself first and then extend that love to others in every encounter. I am in Love with Life, and have great respect for this Planet. I take nothing for granted & appreciate all my blessings.
Emily Dickinson wrote-"I dwell in Possibility" and this has meant so much to me. I have learned to listen, pay attention and treasure every moment. I believe all things are possible, and to me this mean finding love.

I was born and raised in the Mid-West, lived on the East Coast for a period of my life( NY), received my degree from the U of Missouri.
I do not dwell in the past, instead, embrace each day as a new beginning, and with a positive attitude. I have learned something from every mistake I've made in my life.
I am attractive, very young at heart lady. I am filled with many great memories of my life. I Love my Family and Friends. My grandkids are the joy of my life.
Age I find is nothing but a number, but how you perceive yourself and others can be the issue.

Meet someone special from United States. I am a very active, high energy, happy individual. I share my feelings easily and am genuine, open and honest. I love being with people and I'm always up for doing something, going places. I love to travel and have travelled quite extensively and lived in many states and countries.
I always try to do my best in whatever I am involved in be it my relationships, work, physical activities, play!!
My 2 beautiful children, now adults, mean the world to me and I would do anything for them. I also am very close to my family and would be there for them at any time. I enjoy the friendship of my many friends.
I try to keep physically fit, although I have a constant battle with my sweet tooth. I love to eat....OUT, IN,... in fine restaurants, local dives--any place with good food!
Music is also another interest I have--I play the piano, used to sing and dance with an internationally ranked a cappella women's chorus, and love to go dancing once in a while when I can find someone who enjoys that beat and can't resist getting up on the dance floor to move with it.
Golf is another favorite pastime. I regret our short summers. Although I am a high handicap player, I just love the challenge of the game.
I love joking around and enjoy people with a sense of humor. A smile does wonders and laughter is the best remedy!!
I get along well with most anyone. I look at life as an adventure with so much learning involved. I am always looking to improve myself in all aspects of my life. I hope to find someone who is educated, attractive, has a wonderful sense of humor, and can "let their hair down" and be a lot of fun.
Please have a photo of yourself, included with your profile as I don't usually respond to profiles without photographs. I can be friends with everyone, but am hoping to find that special person I "connect" with. Where are you..................................?????????????

Date men and women from Walnut Creek, United States. I am passionate about my work, although not a workaholic, self-sufficient yet love a sense of community. I cherish my kids, my family, and my friends, but also alone time. I have a strong need to be outdoors often, love to cook as well as eat meals out. Kind of a foodie.
I am looking for a friend that is kind, successful and not too needy. I want you to love kids and animals, have a lust for life, and have varied interests. You must be trustworthy and reliable and I will return the favor. I am looking for someone who is appropriately expressive with their emotions and knows how to constructively communicate when we aren't on the same page.

Meet a woman from Walnut Creek, United States. I've recently returned to the East Bay after 16 yrs in Oregon. I had a wonderful home there on a river full of salmon, but it's too rainy, and most family /friends are here! Prior to Oregon, I lived and worked in the East Bay for 10 years - Moraga, Lafayette, and Walnut Creek. It's good to be back!
I'm looking for a smart, fun, educated, gentleman who has manners, old-fashioned values, decency, and is looking for a true partner and co-conspirator! It's fine if you're on the quiet side, as I sometimes am.
Friends call me a unique mix of tomboy and classy lady. I prefer casual clothes (nice jeans/pants, sweaters), but know what a nice silk dress or skirt are for the right occasion. I love local and world travel, boating, moderate hiking, Napa, exploring, and many outdoor activities, but my nails are manicured beneath any temporary mud. I love to fly-fish, but almost always release No hunting - I don't believe in killing other creatures for "fun."
I'm very adventurous and love to explore new places and restaurants. I'd love it if you were retired but this isn't essential, as long as you have time to play, and nurture a great relationship.
I have a great little RV and spend lots of time in Yosemite, Yellowstone, Wildlife Refuges, or at the coast, with my camera. I'm a mostly-retired Advanced-Practice RN, and also a professional nature photographer I'd love it if you had some interest in photography - but this is certainly not required. I have a great kayak, too, that has been unused far too long. I love anything to do with water - I was raised in Ohio on Lake Erie, have often had boats. I lived and cruised on a great 55 ft power yacht (half mine) for 3.5 years in the 90's . Bringing it from the East Coast back to Oregon through the Panama Canal was an incredible adventure. I'd love to do some serious boating again before we get too old.
I also enjoy the theatre, occasional symphony, musicals, and other "city" things, as well as meaningful volunteer work. Dinner and a movie is always a fun, low-key evening. Add some ice cream afterwards, and it becomes perfect! Almost anything is nice with good company!
I treat people with respect and honesty and need this in a partner. I love to travel, and would like to see many more places in the world, with a warm hand to hold. Weekends away are nice, maybe every few months, and a more extended trip a couple times a year if possible.
A quiet home life is also very important to me., and I spend many peaceful evenings reading by the fire, playing board games, watching a movie, or just talking and sharing with friends. I hope you enjoy this too.
I 'm not very extroverted and usually prefer smaller gatherings or one special person over large, impersonal, smoky crowds. I can be on the quiet side sometimes and see no need to fill every quiet moment with needless chatter. Sometimes, just holding hands in silence speaks volumes to each other. I'm pretty independent, and sometimes need some space alone. Yoiur need for space is fine, too. I'm not looking for a shadow or a clone!
I believe in good health habits, so - please - no smokers or hard drugs, and be in reasonable shape, as I am. At our age, it's kind of absurd to think we could ask major changes of each other - so I won't - and I expect you would not, either. I'm very happy with my life, but adding a special person to share with would be wonderful.
If we seem similar in outloook - yet different enough to be interesting - please be brave enough to reach out and invest a little time to email me - a quick "Wink" tells me nothing about you. We might find something very special! I believe people need to be close in distance to be able to get together often and nurture and grow a relationship - so I prefer a distance no greater than 50-60 miles, please. I'm very happy to share driving.
