Wanted: inspirational, passionate female willing to tolerate a decent, hard-working, single dad who still believes in chivalrous things like opening your door without hesitation and sending flowers just because...

I do appreciate meaningful conversation (even friendly debates over personal beliefs can be fun), honesty, faithfulness, and core values.

What do I have to offer? Hmmmm. Well, stable environment, integrity, spontaneity (be prepared for weekend getaways with little notice), joking, laughter, tickle fights, passion, not afraid of affection in public, to name a few. My kids are older teenagers now and this allows me time to enjoy some time out in the world.

Things I like - California sunshine (native born), morning coffee, satellite radio, Chicken Alfredo, being outdoors, dinner and dancing in Monterey, lazy Sunday mornings in bed (do those last three always go together?..), driving on country roads with the music cranked up...

First encounter should be a friendly glass of wine or cup of coffee.
For a first date, perhaps a nice quiet dinner where two adults can get to know each other better and see if there is mutual attraction.
