Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Cherry Hills Village, 58 year old

Date a soulmate from Colorado, United States. I am an open person. I have tried to live a life with as few secrets as possible. I am direct about what I want and my feelings. I will be definite about my likes/dislikes. If it does not matter, I will say so. I will trust someone new first. Living your life expecting others to earn your trust and being suspicious of everyone is a very unhappy way to be. I have been disappointed far fewer times than I have been pleasntly surprised by people. I can easily forgive the little things. People are people and they make mistakes. I do not need to be involved in everything my partner does. Knowing they are near is enough. Most important is that you like yourself. I am looking for a companion, a partner and romance in that order. Companionship sets the stage for partnership and romance. Without a partner you can trust there is no relationship. Romance is a very neccesary part of life. It is importand that my partner can express her feelings and thoughts directly. Bottling up feelings until you explode only poisons yourself and the relationship. Expecting another to guess your needs is a sure way not to get what you want. Know yourself and have confidence that you can acheive things you set your mind to. We should each know that the other is there for them. It is not required for us to attached at the hip. Each of us should be able to have their own space and return refreshed to the warmth of each other. We each will have unique skills in life because of experience, temperament, size, interests. I want these skills to complement so that we are better together. I am looking for a woman near my age. I do not have any interest in women young enough to be my children or grandchildren.
