Born and raised in southern California - I love to be outside exploring nature. I am a widower - married 27 years. Recently retired I enjoy getting out with friends and family but looking for that special someone to spend time with and enjoy what life has to offer. Love short driving trips, working in my vegetable garden, bbqing, and fishing. I am old fashion gentleman and very affectionate who believes in opening doors and holding hands for long walks. Looking for someone with similar interests who is down to earth and even tempered. I prefer someone with longer hair and a nice smile. I am not very familiar with internet dating sites and not very fast in the typing area so prefer telephone conversations to get to know one another. Not interested in dating a lot of women....I am a one woman man. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. If you feel we are a match please email me and I will respond 1000dan. Thank you and good luck with your search.
