I am a recently single man who is looking for a someone to share in good conversations, drinks, lunch/dinner and we'll see where it goes from there.

I have two teenage daughters, but don't let that scare you. They are great kids and very easy going. An attribute they hopefully inherited from me. I enjoy good food and wine ("Life is too short to drink bad wine!") and have cooked quite a few dinners over the years.

I have everything from Andrea Bocelli to R.E.M to The Eagles to Aerosmith on my ipod but still need my daughter to help me download music...she even talks me into putting some of "her" music and not just "that old stuff" I like. I end up actually liking some of what she likes.

I enjoy the beach and my favorite time is sunset. I really like when it rains, maybe because it does not rain too often in So Cal but I love to sit and watch the rain fall.

I am an eternal optimist with a big heart and see the good in everyone. I'm patient (almost to a fault) and young at heart (not immature!!) I am a romantic and think women should be treated with respect.

I am looking to meet new people so drop me a line......

The best first date I think would be drinks or a simple lunch- no stress.
