I am an incurable romantic, and truly believe that a relationship cannot exist without affection i.e., hugging, kissing, hand holding, etc.. If these are missing, there is no relationship. I am a widow, and really miss having someone to care about and to share my life with. At this age I believe there has to be compromise, both given and received, and I am prepared to do a lot of compromising. I just don't want to be the only one doing the compromising. A man who loves me, is considerate and fun will be a king to me.
I am retired from City employment. I was a City Clerk for 12 years. I was raised in the San Joaquin Valley and moved to Capitola two and a half years ago. I am willing to relocate if I find the right guy. I love to cook and am pretty good at it. Now that I have the time, I read a lot and do a lot of knitting for people. I have raised four boys and kept them all out of State prison! That, in itself, is a miracle. One of them is in the Silicon Valley involved in the computer business. One is in the Coast Guard, and two of them work for a highway construction business--one in management and one in labor. The important thing is that they are on their own and doing very well. If my location is a problem to anyone, I will do the driving, if necessary.
Everyone laughs at my first requirement--I want a man who is clean. Next he should not be hesitant about showing affection. I like a lot of affection. He should also have a great sense of humor. I like to laugh a lot, too. If his interests are not the same, I am willing to learn about his interests. He should be outgoing and able to get along in a family of fairly loud people. We are Italian. He should not be glued to the television 24 hours a day. As far as appearance is concerned, he should be able to dressed himself neatly, with clothes that are meant to go together!! (Dress shoes and socks don't go with shorts.) His physical looks are not that important to me.
