Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Erie, 55 year old

Date men and women from United States. You can imagine that, as a single father raising three girls, my life has been busy. You’re right! The thing is, as involved as I have been in my daughter’s lives coaching ball teams and such; I’ve tried to make sure I took time for things I like. I’m hoping to meet a special woman who may enjoy some of those things, as well as introducing me to some favorites of her own. Self-employed, I am driven and work out regularly to stay in shape. Comfortable with my own company, I’m not a “needy” person, but realize there’s a lot to be said for sharing the “fruits” of your labor.
Beginning with chemistry, you know that feeling of excitement and anticipation you get when seeing someone special? That’s important I think, and right now is a void in my life. I am conversant on a variety of levels and enjoy having my opinions challenged sometimes. It can be energizing if they are challenged by an intelligent and knowledgeable woman who has sound opinions of her own. So, I’m a good listener capable of empathy.
I would be attracted to an independent and intelligent woman, who enjoys the outdoors and keeps herself physically fit. My best friend in many regards, she would also be someone I could put my arms around and hold. It’s possible that you are that very woman. If so, I hope you’ll e-mail me right away so we can start getting to know each other and have some fun! If you don’t – we’ll never know
PS. I'm some 14ers and backpacking this summer hope you can join me !
