Date men and women from Canada / Alberta / Calgary, 54 year old

Date someone special from Alberta, Canada. Quiet at first but I soon open up. Sense of humor and high energy. Prefer small groups to large crowds. Artistic (landscape painter), musical (piano and keyboard), sensitive (I cry at weddings, funerals and sappy movies) and a bit of a romantic (but not a red roses kind of guy-more like spontanious cards and gifts).
I am self confident but not arrogant and respectful of others space. Good listener. Friendship and chemistry are important. Just feeling at ease with someone is wonderful. Very respectful of women and will treat them with class. A nice guy who has been through some painful experiences and came out with a much stronger charactor because of it.
I love my three kids dearly and we have a great relationship today. I have a soft spot for struggling kids and would not have a problem loving someone elses kids either.
I do not need a counselor, mother or maid. I want a woman who knows what she wants in life without being self absorbed. Who enjoys art and music and does not take herself too seriously. A woman who knows when to be vulnerable so I can be there for her but not so needy as to suck the life out of me. A lady who looks as good in jeans as in an evening gown. A lady with class and grace and who is not out to reform, control or transform her man but who appreciates that we are all individuals. A lady who can carry on an intelligent conversation.
But most importantly-I am looking for that special lady who I can be proud to call my best friend!

Meet single man from Alberta, Canada. A consulting professional, I have relocated to the Calgary area from Seattle. Originally from Denver, I feel like Calgary is a sister city and very much like it here!

Turn-offs: Rude or egotistical people, negativity, drama/moody, casual sex / volume dating, judgemental, superficiality / pretenders, needy.
*Please read* Match / Contact preferences
Experiences so far on the site have been "interesting"! I have met some nice people, but have found there are definitely widely differing agendas at work out there. Based on my experiences, some fine tuning is called for here. Sorry if it might sound intense or unfriendly, but I am just being practical to save our valuable time.
#1 If you are seeing / dating someone now, are recently separated/divorced (you're not ready!), trying to patch things up with the ex, or looking for company, we are just not a match. Since some people have actually asked/tried, I will also mention I am not the tradeup, backup nor activity buddy.
#2: Please have a current closeup photo available to share.
#3: Genuine people only!
Many of us find pretenders slip up and reveal themselves within a few minutes of meeting. So, if you represent something in your profile or in a note to me, best be ready to "be real and walk the walk". I am far from perfect, but if I wrote it, you will see it / hear it in person and I will give you honest feedback. We're here to find a great match, right? So let's not waste time and get to meaningful meetings already! (smile)
#4: You are ready for a relationship and know what you want.
Like others, I totally agree on the importance and also practice taking it slowly to start and getting it right in finding that special someone. What I can't work with is someone who doesn't know what she wants or is not ready - how do we even go about determining a match? Also, pass me by if you feel you must meet/date 50 (or 100) people before you can decide on Mr. Right. I will know my special person when I get to know her, not after I have met some arbitrary number of people.
Who am I looking for?
I would like to meet a genuinely nice and charming person who is witty, active, positive and confident, articulate and appealing, both inside and out. I find confident, witty, active women in their 40s and 50s to be incredibly attractive. It is especially rewarding to encounter someone who shares the philosophy of conducting oneself with class and the golden rule as a daily practice. So, if you have the above, a warm smile, captivating eyes and an intellect to match, you will definitely make an impression on me!
My goal is to build a lasting relationship with deep emotional, intellectual, spiritual and intimate connections based on trust, respect and totally open and honest communications.
For interests, I like to dance, and hope to learn salsa and maybe some ballroom with a partner. Hiking is a big interest and if you are up for exploring the vistas of KCountry and AB, say hi! Add a little mountain biking, kayaking, scrambling, rafting, day/weekend trips, dining or dancing and the summer adventures await!
I am well traveled, especially the western and SW US, western Canada, parts of Europe and the south pacific. No Harley here, but I do enjoy drives in the convertible.
My music tastes go with wherever my mood takes me, but jazz, RB, bluegrass, classic rock (70s/80s), some old Motown and even some classics like Vivaldi and Puccini.

Date men and women from Alberta, Canada. This is all new to me and I'm hoping to find a lady that just wants to enjoy life. I'm not into gossip or drama because life is too short and every day has to be a good day. I'm very proud of my four daughters and I have a good relationship with them. I'm also very proud of my 2 grandchildren and come Sept. there will be 1 more!!
I'm looking for a lady that enjoys walks, roadtrips, traveling or maybe just a nice night at home watching a movie. Cuddles are always welcome and I enjoy all movies except sci-fi. If you enjoy to laugh then you will be happy as I have been told that I'm funny. Sporting events, theater or just going for a walk to talk is ok with me. Bars and clubs are not places I enjoy and I never go out with the boys for a drink.
Dancing is something I would love to learn and no matter what your into I'm happy to join you or stand aside to cheer you on. I'm interested in many things and willing to learn anything new!!
The most important issue I have with this site is honesty!! It's not easy to find someone but, it's impossible if people post old pictures and don't always tell the truth? If you believe your profile and your pics are recent and you like what you see on my page!!! I would love to hear from you! Good luck to everyone!!

Meet a soulmate from Alberta, Canada. Here I am, this me... no other place Id rather be..... Well Ok there are many places I would rather be but for now I intend
to devote some time to finding you...
To simplify this if you play tennis I would like to meet you, and if you dont, I hope you find someone who makes you happy!
Like everyone on here I have lived and loved and sometimes it was good sometimes it was bad and sometimes it was ugly.
I have to say at this stage I am no longer interested in what might be good. I am now only interested in what I know is going
make us both happy for a very long time. The good honest person with a heart of gold and the loyalty of a St Bernard is expected. I know that part of the relationship takes a while to determine and prove so although just saying so doesnt make
me a believer and nor should my saying so make you one either. However we must both be willing to take the time necessary to feel that level of comfort that comes from knowing you are with the right person. Having failed to take this step on more than one
occasion has cost me dearly. So for the immediate future all we can do is find out if there is a physical attraction as well as
common interests and expectations. I am fairly fit at 5'9' 150lb I keep fit playing tennis several times a week.
I enjoy Tennis, golf, and sex, not in that order but you need to like those things also. There are many other things I enjoy doing such as cooking, hiking,
mtn. biking, movies.... As well family is very important to me I am very close with all my family and I have one adult daughter
Who does not live with me.
HAHAHAHAHA........... sooooooooooooo funny...... seems like women do not read beyond the third or fourth line!?!?!?!
If you read this far congrats you are in the minority. Please put Tennis in the subject line and I will respond
Thanks for taking the time to look over my profile and good luck in your search !!!

Meet people from Alberta, Canada. I enjoy meeting new people. Would like to find a partner who likes camping out, movies and holding hands,who likes to show her affection. I love music, and seeing bands, dancing,etc,.Material things don't turn me on too much nor artificial people. I'm attracted to sincere, warm giving people as I believe that best describes me!

Date someone special from Calgary, Canada. I want to take it one step at a time bringing forth honesty and integrity. I realize that people bring baggage inti any and all relationships. But if they put all their cards on the table they can grow with each other. I don't care what the appearance is it's what you have in your heart that determines if it will prosper or not.

Meet single man from Calgary, Canada. I don't take myself too seriously (at least not very often) and hope that you do the same. I believe that we are here to experience life and learn as we go. I work hard and try to play even harder I'm looking for (and offer), honesty and integrity and FUN! I seek a Lover, Partner and, BEST Friend. I believe that when faced with challenges, we should talk things through - we BOTH need to feel good. In other words, I’m looking for someone who believes that a relationship is 100/100, not 50/50 - each person giving their all and loving every step of the way.
I prefer someone that knows who they are but still likes to test their boundaries - sometimes more than just a little. My life is pretty wonderful, I'd love to share it with someone with similar objectives and share in their life too! Someone who compliments me, not completes me. I don't care what you do for a living, as long as you enjoy it. Life is simply too short. I love what I do and where it's taking me...
I'm not here to find a 'Pen Pal'. If we think there is some interest in getting to know one another (however slight), let's get together for a coffee/walk. I can’t see what either of us has to lose. While I’m not exactly �New’ to this method of meeting people (i.e. internet dating) I am still working on becoming completely comfortable with the idea (this site and its attributes). In short, my trepidation is driven by the fact that it’s not as real as �real life’. I mean REALLY, it's not like walking in to a store to pick up a few things...you have a list of what you definitely need and a few things that you just want. You know the things you like and what you prefer over others. These are attributes that you need to experience. You can't just talk about it or put it on paper. It's an experience. You simply have to spend some time with the person before you decide. But that being said, there are certain things we look for, certain qualities and traits that our personal senses respond to and that's chemistry (OK, maybe a little psychology and physics too). I’m seeking a life partner, that can't be done 'remotely'!
I can tell you that I am; a positive person by nature, love to laugh, smile always, am compassionate, easy going, playful, kinda funny, smart, classy, confident, secure in myself and, very passionate. But, I'd really rather you find that out for yourself. I do love to be pampered and to pamper my partner in return. I value all my friendships and most importantly, my family and my children.

Meet people from Calgary, Canada. I like Adventure...which can involve many arenas from climbing mountains to exploring personal growth. Nature... wildlife and the great outdoors and all the sports or activities related to being out there...fishing, hunting, mountaineering, climbing, skiing, kayaking, canoeing, camping, mountain biking, motorbiking, diving, horsebacking, etc..
I spend much of my leisure time being active in sports and numerous outdoor pursuits which will vary depending on the time of year. It varies every year and I enjoy attempting new sports. I spend time cooking and working around my house. I occasionally watch movies or attend social events. I do research on trips and activities I organize every year. I am well travelled. However, due to a hip injury I have not been as active in some sports the past year but hope to have that problem fixed soon so I get back at it.
I am intellectually centered, curious and am always looking for new things to learn or do. I am a risk taker and enjoy physical challenges and competition and am good at most things I do. I like romance, intimate conversation and am a good listener. Am affectionate and caring. I am self-aware and have a good understanding of my true nature. Am open-minded and open-hearted. Am a good cook, can sing and dance, am artistic, creative, handy with tools and live a healthy lifestyle in moderation and within my means.
I have some great friends and also enjoy finding new friends and perhaps even that special girlfriend with common interests and a free spirit to try new things. Anything is possible...a serious relationship will emerge and evolve on it's own if it is meant to be.
My Ideal Person: Looking for compability in a person...Someone who is open minded and intelligent, self-aware and emotionally stable, secure, willing to explore new places, interests and personal growth. Looking for a good companion who enjoys a healthy lifestyle. Would be nice to have someone who is fit, active, has outdoor sports skills that could be shared or is interested in trying something new. Who doesnt mind staying in sometimes and cooking a nice meal together, having a glass of wine and watching a movie or reading together. Someone easy going with a good sense of humor. Match is a good start...lets see where it goes from there.

Meet single man from Canada. I like to think of myself as an artist, i love to paint, draw and do photography. I love to cook, dine out, go to arts, theatres, picnic, curl up in front of the fireplace with a bottle of wine, some beautiful roses for you and some exquisite chocolates. I am a little out of shape, but love sports to try and keep in shape, as well as walking and running. I am not one that suffers hours of mindless exercise, but make it fun and I am all over it. I dress up with a tie on to go to work but am just as comfortable in blue jeans, khakis or shorts. I love entertaining, playing card or board games. I like all types of fishing and love to go bird hunting. I am getting tired of talking about me, I want someone that enjoys the same things as me, some one to go out for coffee with and just have fun. I am trying to learn how to play the guitar, so if you sing that would be awesome. I will add to this later.

I like see the latest movie at the theater or watching one at home cuddled up on the sofa.
I always try and find humor in everyday situations because it makes life so much more fun with laughter. I love my career so life is good but just missing piece.
I’m looking for that special lady, someone who is honest, enjoys the outdoors, likes to walk holding hands, likes watching the sunset or sunrise or the stars at night depending where we might be.
Enjoys the adventure of traveling as much as the destination.
