Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Cherry Hills Village, 54 year old

Date a man from Colorado, United States. I'm a single, secure and stable man (you can call me Triple S), and am looking for a Triple S Female counter-part to explore the possibility of a long term relationship.
I am interested, ultimately, in a long term relationship. To get started in a new relationship, I feel that we need to start as friends and let it grow. I am looking forward to new experiences and trying new things.
I'm not into drama - it takes too much energy. To me, drama is something you make. We all have life experience, not necessarily drama. I have very limited baggage. I try to be tactfully straightforward. I do not have a hidden agenda.
In the future, I want to share my life with someone who will walk with me - not ahead or behind me.
My perfect match would be romantic, ideally like football, like to cook for family and friends or spend time in the kitchen with me while I cook, want to have fun. One of my favorite places is Fallingwater. I am also interested in art, opera and dance. I love to dress up but need a place to go .
My guiding principle is the Golden Rule (Do unto others what you would want done unto you.) I want to share my time with someone that has the right balance between work,fun and us.
While I'm independent, I do like romantic activities - walking on the beach, quiet dinners, etc. I am looking forward to new experiences. In the future, I'd like to travel more - Bermuda, California, Hawaii, Ireland, Italy.
I love to have fun and enjoy life, we all have an expiration date, however, we don't know when that will be so my motto is "Life is too short". I refuse to spend time arguing and fighting. Won't go to bed mad or leave the house in the morning mad. In today's society you don't know if you will wake up in the morning or come home from work, so be happy and love and miss the one you are with. I'm not the type of person to hold grudges or dwell in the past, the past cannot be changed, forgotten, edited or erased. It can only be accepted. As don Henley says, "you keep carrying that anger it will eat you up inside".
I use to worry about a clean house (don't get me wrong my house is always straightened), but I have come to realize that dust bunnies don't go anywhere and they can wait if a better opportunity arises. I believe that when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.
don't worry I still have all of my teeth, LoL. To me there is nothing more relaxing then sitting on the beach or camping. I can also just cuddle on the couch.I also love to just hang out with friends,Like to go fishing and crabbing been a while though.
I'm from the old school and appreciate having my doors opened. I think I look better in person then in pictures. I've been told that I don't look my age,i wonder how i look then??
I'm looking for a caring, loving and forever relationship. Looking for someone who can appreciate a caring, loving, faithful and truthful man. Looking for someone to be my partner and my best friend. Can't stand a liar or a cheater so if you are one of these please don't contact me. NO GAMES EITHER, GAMES ARE FOR KIDS!!!
