Date men from United States / California / Redlands, 56 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. If you are reading this, we share a common trait already. You have realized that life is too short to just drift through the years, hoping you find someone who shares your outlook and supports your aspirations. You have decided to cast timidity aside and forge your own destiny. Congratulations.
What am I like? I would consider myself to be a kind and loving person, quick to laugh and thrilled to meet new and interesting people. A decent, moral person. Loyal to my friends. Respectful to women.
What do I enjoy? Simple pleasures: going out to diner, seeing movies, dancing, catching a play, or just kicking back with a good DVD and a glass of wine. When I'm not working my day job, I do enjoy writing. I have one book published and several screenplays in the works.
I have a beautiful 11 year-old daughter that reads voraciously – currently at a high school level. She is with me every other weekend and I treasure my time with her.
What am I looking for? That electrifying glance that makes speech superfluous. That kiss that takes the breath away. That divine company that makes you forget where you are. That one, transcendent encounter that transforms your life into something richer than you ever thought it could be.
Too much to ask? Maybe.
I suppose the best place to start is with simple friendship. I would like to meet someone that I could share both the fun and the quiet moments. Someone intelligent, who is confident in themselves without being overbearing. Someone with a positive sense of life.
Men kick friendship around like a football. For a man and a woman it is a fragile thing. Especially, those first impressions. But then, you've already ventured forth into the unknown. Why not go a bit further?

Meet single man from California, United States. Well this is definitely a new experience for me and it feels a little uncomfortable and awkward. I'm so use to meeting someone and having them get to know whatever qualities I have and my character through a natural evolution of time, events and communication. Unfortunately, I have to state and express my thoughts about my qualities and character on my own. It sounds self serving, egotistical and like I'm selling myself, well I guess I am selling myself LOL! So here it goes, I really love life and I love to have fun and laugh whenever I can, we won't be on this earth forever and we should enjoy ourselves as much as we can with our family and friends. I'm blessed and have an abundance of a great core of people that I care about that I spend time with. I really hope that I can find someone that also feels the same way as I do, not only with my family and friends but theirs as well! As much as I enjoy the company of others close to me, it no where comes close in comparison when spending time with that special someone. Life means nothing if you don't share it with someone you truly love and care for. When it comes to me, I'm confident and assertive, but not cocky or arrogant. I choose to be a positive and very optimistic person because negativity is a waste of time and energy. I try to be careful and sensitive to other peoples views and feelings and will not judge anyone! I'm secure with myself, but will continue to grow and improve myself and try to become a better person. I was raised with a lot of affection around me so I definitely have the affectionate chip that's part of me. About Her, I love a woman that is independent that can take care of herself and is not afraid to express herself and show her strengths, but at the same time allows a man to take care of her so theirs a shared balance. I think it's great to find someone that has a big heart and can treat others with kindness, that says a lot about a person. Honesty and Loyalty would be great because its been something I think thats been lost in the core of most relationships. I hope that I can establish a strong friendship with a woman that eventually has the potential for a real and genuine relationship. I also hope I can share and experience unconditional love and passion with a soul mate and partner thats willing to take the journey and appreciate life with me. I'm sure I've left some things out about who I am and what I'm looking for in a woman because I'm much better expressing myself in person than in print, but hopefully that special someone can read between the lines and have the curiosity and incentive to get to know me better eventually in person.

Meet a soulmate from California, United States. I’m a 57yr year old male, six foot on a good day and around 185 lbs. Slim, brown hair and brown eyes. The hair is thinning but there is enough there I can comb. I won’t make the cover of any fashion magazine, or any other magazine but I can wear a tux, a suit, slacks and shirt jeans or shorts etc. I’m looking for companionship, TLC, friendship and perhaps more, assuming all the ingredients are there. I seek a long term relationship and that could be marriage. I like to laugh and enjoy life.
I have a couple of dogs. I have transportation. I don’t do drugs, I do not gamble or get sloppy drunk. I will have a glass of wine or two or whip up my own cocktail. I guess my only vice is football. I really enjoy that. My other vice or passion is photography. I enjoy it also. I like to go camping and also enjoy doing a little cooking or going out to dinner. I enjoy movies and have a large collection of them. I guess I'm old school, I believe in caring for my mate or the person I really care about. I'll be there when you're sick, I'll nurse you back to health. I'll be there when the chips are down to offer a hand up. Note I said hand up. I figure a hand out you get from the government, a hand up from someone who cares.
I like to hold hands; I like my arm to be taken. I enjoy soft caresses and like to do the same. I like to fuss over my gal and make her feel special. No head games played here. I’m honest up front and won’t string you along. At this point in life, it’s fun to laugh and joke and though we should take life seriously, we should take time to smell the roses and enjoy the world.
If I was a classic car, I'd say I was a 1955 classic, tan exterior, brown soft top, plush interior, polished on the outside and inside. Radio programmed for all types of music, low maintenance, reliable
warms up quickly, doesn't smoke at all, solid performance and will let you feel good while you drive :)
Take a test drive, come on.....options are available if requested or installed :)
Places we would go or I enjoy going to is Solvang, Morro Bay, Grand Canyon, Az, San Diego, most museums and zoos. I also enjoy staying at home, just sort of go with the flow.
I hope you'll drop a line and make contact. Remember what we do today echos in eternity.

Date someone special from United States. For now I will just quote a classic Joni Mitchell song: "All I really, really want our love to do. Is to bring out the best in me and you." I'm looking for someone who is happy with herself and her life, who is genuine, open, honest, playful, and romantic. Who's looking for the love of her life. And so am I!
