I am a highly motivated and creative guy. I love being surrounded by mother nature and stargazing late into the night. I am usually well-focused during the week, still I make time for the things that matter most to me. I love to hang with friends whether watching DVD movies or in a beautiful scenic location. Stimulating conversation easily overcomes our boredom.

I cook and do my own dishes. Oh, and I'm vegetarian for 27+ years now. That explains my youthful appearance and high energy. Wait till you sample my gourmet veggie cooking. I guess I'd better mention chocolate desserts here too.

Life as a published novelist can go in many directions. I began writing at eight, and since then, I've gone down a number of useful yet perhaps unproductive paths for a writer. Eventually, I found the inner and outer focus needed to keep my creativity moving forward.

You might say I'm the most motivated when it comes to staying focused on living my life passion. While my college friends now seek ways to make retirement work in a world they didn't expect, I'm looking to create another 80 years of new and fantastic adventures, often with women half my age.

The busy and often complicated life I live is not for everyone. I work hard and also play hard. After a divorce in mid-2006, I'm ready to find and settle down with a very special woman, also easily lost inside her own passionate life, who's willing to explore the many ways we might comfortably share our day to day joys.

At home, I work each day. I live in the country. I workout several times a week and jog on a regular schedule. I like stargazing at night and getting lost in the sunsets at the ocean.

Away from home, I camp, hike, backpack, and travel by RV to interesting, out of the way places. Even roller blading is now an option. I love ocean cruises with outside decks, fine wine, and gourmet vegetarian food.

I'm seeking to meet a delightfully well-grounded woman, and you'll know immediately if that statement applies to you or not. Your age is not really a factor. Loving the outdoors, feeling comfortable inside your own skin, and being physically active is.

Also, contact me on my space dot com / daveo0099. Add same user name on YIM. When you find me, you'll learn even more about me.

I am a pretty easy guy to satisfy when I'm with the right woman. We can chat by candle light or walk in the moon light. We can hold hands and gaze at the stars or sit across the table and chat for hours while looking deep into each others eyes. We can sip fine wine, mix our drinks to taste, or throw back a couple of ice-cold brews. If iced tea is your pleasure, I'm also up for that.

I'm seeking to meet delightfully well-grounded women willing to mutually explore our individual passions and the satisfying moments they might bring.

Life's really not about looks, or age, or money, or collecting stuff. It's only about living intensely in the moment. That's what matters most. Pretense is for people with a life to waste. No mind games accepted here. Be real or get real!

There's so much men and women can share, whether as friends or way much more. In one way or another, we easily compliment each other. I'm ready to go there with the right woman. As you read this, you'll easily know if it's speaking about you.

If you've moved beyond the mind games of life, then consider lingering for a moment along life's path with me. So, if you play nice, enjoy your natural assets, and face life honestly, then let's consider getting acquainted.

When my creativity meets yours, we'll have so many new options open up before us. Both of us will be enhanced by it.
