Date men from United States / California / Walnut Creek, 72 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. The woman I am looking for is a good communicator, in touch with her feelings and not shy about expressing herself. She is not going to bail at the first sign of trouble in the relationship, she is going to fight for it if she thinks it is worth saving knowing full well her man is going to do the same. If you are not a good communicator, hit the delete button now! Good communication is the bedrock of any relationship. That, plus the fact that a couple should start out as friends and really get to know each other before going to the next stage. She needs her own space once in a while, she is not clingy, possessive or jealous. You will each have you likes and dislikes about individual activities but you will "talk' about what really is important to both of you. My special person can be flexible, willing to compromise, doesn't have to be always right or always have her own way. Yes?
I am just your average retired guy. Was a VP with a New York based reinsurance company who headed up their Western operation. I like to cook, make sourdough bread; I like all kinds of music, except rap. I can dress up or down; I like to hike and walk; I am very social and I love people and love to talk to them even more. I can tavel or stay home, although spending a month in Italy in a villa is on my bucket list. I am very affectionate and have no trouble expressing my feelings. I am looking for a friend to do things with, at first, and hope it will develop into something a little more permanent..
Don't be scared off by stats!
No winks! If interested, send me an e-mail. Not stating your true age or, meeting you in person and not coming very close to your photos are deal breakers! "Hat" photo taken Nov. 2011. One with grandson taken Dec. 2010.

Meet a man from California, United States. I am a retired professional (3 degrees) who has done real estate appraisal work and testimony for over 1,400 attorneys in the past 25 years. Now I better smell the roses but wish to have someone with whom to share life. I like independent women if they are willing to take enough time for romance and a true intimate relationship. I wish for a tall and slender 5'5' to 5'9" female so that we can more comfortably walk, dance, etc. together. I am old fashioned in opening doors and helping a lady with her coat,etc. I love animals and kids. I am willing to listen as I am not thin skinned. I am open and honest. I believe a strong man is not a macho man (ie, bully). I believe a man should be protective of his mate while needing her protection in that special way that only can be provided by a woman. I wish to cherish my mate and do all that I can for her happiness. My health is good and I don't carry baggage because I have learned from the past. I am financially secure without showing off. It is very importlant to me to have a loving warmhearted mate with whom I can be manly but yet be able to bare my soul for her advice and understanding. I know how to conduct myself in public places, can dress very well, but also like wearing casual clothes. My sense of humor is strong and I can laugh at myself. Being outdoors is fun as I am an old Eagle Scout but I like concerts, art museums. good lectures and conversations as well as viewing some sports and maybe again coaching soccer and little league. . Physical touching is important and those gentle touches and big hugs help to soothe the soul and keep the excitement going. A woman who is beautiful in more than appearance has learned from her past relationships with her head and heart in the right place. She will desire a loving relationship that she had once or still seeks to find with a caring man. I like doing volunteer work and keeping myself busy in a productive way. Going to the supermarket with a mate and then working together in the kitchen to prepare a meal followed by a comfortable evening together is one of my ideas of great fun. Planning ahead or doing something on a spontaneous basis are ok. Helping her love her children and grandkids is also ok with me. The truth is that I am idealistic, meaning I prefer to be positive about someone and not be a perfectionist. I am athletic without being an athlete. It's said that perfection is impossible in love but it's worth the effort. My heart will be warm for my mate always.
