Date women from United States / California / Woodland Hills, 71 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I am retired at the moment, thinking about going back to my profession part-time.
I have a very active life, love tennis, play 3 times a week. I play a little golf, that is I own my own clubs.....and I love to play bridge. I have a very wonderful and supportive family and friend network.
I love to dine, I love to cook and entertain. I have traveled the world and still have places I would love to see. I love movies,reading, my garden, athletics, travels, and quiet time.
I am looking for a man who is very intelligent, educated, some one who can laugh with me and have a sense of humor about life's twists and turns. I am looking for that special "chemistry" that makes my heart beat quicken a bit....a touch, a look, something intangible but you know it when you feel it.
I would like to meet someone of similar background, interest and values. I believe that relationships need attention to survive and if you are struggling with the basics such as common interests,values, and background there often is little time for loving or nurturing.
I want to share my life with someone because I do think that "one is a lonely number".....and I do appreciate a need to have separate time.
I have 2 children, one of each and 3 grandchildren ages 5,18,and 20.
I am healthy, and happy and passionate about living my life in the "here and now" with an eye to future and not the "past". My pictures are all current; all within the last month to one year.

Meet a woman from California, United States. I am extremely honest and expect the same from my partner. I love my country and am doing all I can to save it. One of my favorite sayings is "All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing. I care deeply about my friends and adore my 2 surrogate grandchildren. I love to laugh. I am not anxious to remarry but I would like a solid committed relationship. If you are an Obama fan, we will not get along. Otherwise, I'm open.
