Date men and women from Canada / Alberta / Edmonton, 48 year old

Date someone special from Canada. Hi - My membership expires July 14, 2012. Not sure if I will be back. i cant read or respond to messages.
I think the "match" function is random. I get a lot of matches for woman that are lookinng for someone over 6' or who is Causasion, I'm niether.
I'm a simple professional man looking for a partner - someone to care for and to care for me - a hand to hold and a life to share. I don't have any cultural preference.
I believe I carry my self with a respect for others and great warmth and sincerity. I'm not complicated and don't ask for much more than sincerity and honesty.
I work of course, but am not a workaholic. I am looking for someone that genuinely wants a committed, trusting and monogamous relationship.
I like to travel, ideally I would like to spend a good chunk of winter somewhere warm (maybe 6-8 weeks, but if you can't do that, no worries, Edmonton and the mountains aren't so bad), go out to movies, out for a bite, stay in and snuggle, entertain ... almost anything really. I relly enjoy people and doing things together. I'm really just a normal, easy going guy... and I, probably like most people, have a lot to offer.
I want someone to spend time with hopefully fall in love with - I know that will not happen overnight. Someone to wake up with - go for a walk, to the farmer's market - relax and talk with over a coffee or a glass of wine - cook and bake with - or just relaxing together at home. A hand to hold or a head resting on my shoulder at a movie or anywhere really. I enjoy all these things and so very much more - but like most things - there is little I like doing alone. Even the mundane can be fun with the right person and attitude. I do not think you need to have a long list of common interests, you just have to be interested in each other.
I try to stay reasonably fit and get out for a jog or go to the gym most days. I like golf, cycling, rollerblading and most sports in fact - I'm not any good at any of them, but that doesn't mean they are not fun. While I prefer to be a participant and not a spectator of professional sports, going to the odd hockey or football game is fun - but for me it's about the social contact with friends and not really the game.
I believe I am warm and affectionate and would want that returned. No matter where life takes me - trip out of the country (I have travelled a fair bit), gym or back yard BBQ - nothing alone is as rewarding - sometimes not rewarding at all. While I am professionally employed, I am not a workaholic. I don't work weekends or long hours and after a days work - I would like to share the balance of the day with someone special.
I do drink socially - but don't get drunk and a couple glasses of red wine is usually my limit - and I don't smoke.
I have a 17 year old son. He is kind, charitable, uncommonly driven and compassionate. He comes and goes from his mom's house and mine as he chooses, but is rarely with me. It's fine if you have children, but mine is substantially raised and while I love kids - I'm not sure if I am ready for the lifestyle that is inherent with very young children.
I'm not concerned about the colour of your skin or hair - I have no preference whatsoever regarding ethnic background - but there has to of course be mutual attraction and you do need to be honest with me and yourself as to what you want. Age? ... close to my age anyway ... I've always thought that a 10 year differential would sort of be a maximum permissible value. I would appreciate someone that looks after themselves and would go for a run, yoga (I haven't gone to yoga for a while, but I am going to get back into it) and/or to the gym with me...you don't have to be super fit, I'm not.
What now? We meet, we go for a coffee, pick a place with at least 2 exits, make small talk. That kinda thing. I'm not here to find a pen pal, you gotta take that first ste

Date single man from Canada. Just a quick intro about myself and hopefully I will tweak your interest .so we can get to know each other!
Edmonton is home base. Own my own company. My business allows me to travel so somewhat close proximity to an airport is important. Am divorced no children and no baggage .except my Briggs. Have a great love for the mountains along with tropical areas like Maui, have a summer lodge in Northern Saskatchewan. Tough to say which is my favorite as I love four seasons. . I am close to my family who mean the world to me and I love my folks dearly.
On the professional side, I was a long haul trucker for 10 years so grew to love and know every corner of North America. Started my own long haul transport company in 97.
Great friends and customer helped pave a opportunity to travel all over the world. Still have a desire to see Australia, Thailand, and China to name a few. Italy was a favorite. Speanding time with close friends is important.
Play all sports kinds of sports like golf / hockey roller blading, running biking. But have a real passion for water skiing and mountain sledding. Love the beach, scuba diving, being on the ocean.
Wine tasting and cooking together is a big thing that I enjoy as a couple or hosting dinner parties for friends, Hot tubing in the middle of winter with the snow falling or mid-summer with the northern lights dancing in the sky is a must to experience. If you like Harley’s I ride. I like to dance but I could use some lessons.
Well now the good stuff. I’d love to find a lady that appreciates the door to be opened for her. Curbside service is ok. . Evening walks in the dark. Jogging in the rain. Skinny dipping in the ocean. Tagging along to the mountains, going to a rodeo / chuck wagons in Calgary , getting dolled up to go dining or just going on a date night. Live concerts . playing pool or watching a movie. If you have children I think it’s important to do special stuff with them. My folks did many things for me. I am looking for-a lady that enjoys a great coffee, a great wine and a great Martini. I hope to find a gal that enjoys spontaneity and can handle change of plans. Like I mean really bad. ? I want a gal that enjoys a spa day , likes her feet rubbed , hair combed.
Things that are a must. She has to smile big, laugh lots. Willing to take a risk. Be honest –truthful and respectful which is the secret for true love . . Hard to say it all. As there is more.

Date single man from Edmonton, Canada. I'm going to try and not use any cliches here, but probably won't be successful. I am easy going, quiet, considerate, sensitive and thoughtful (deep thinker, not saying I'm good at it. LOL). As I said, I am quiet, in other words shy. Very much an introvert, but I do open up once my trust has been gained. I'm a good listener with a Mr. Bean sense of humour
Never been married and relationships have been few and far between. I don't have any relationship phobias, as such, just found myself in "relationships of convenience - she was alone I was alone scenario".
I am not a loud mouth and don't have a big head, as my father use to say "humble is a proud man". I do have my convictions, but keep them to myself, to keep the peace, when necessary. I believe in the value of hard work and doing ones best. Education is is the pathway to better living, and I hope to do more. These are also some of the things I would seek in a partner. I need a partner that would be independent, but yet supportive ( mutualistic rather than parisitic). I am not comfortable with drama and avoid it at all costs.
I am not finanicaly well-off, but I am employed, with bigger job prospects on the horizion.
On a first date I would probally take her out for a coffee and a walk in the park. I'm really big on motorsports, so a trip to the Go-Kart track would in the cards, nothing too elaborate. And if things go well, a second date would be dinner.

Date a man from Edmonton, Canada. I am just curious about this online dating stuff so I want to see if there really is a lot of people looking for each other in this way. I like to meet someone who is interesting and fun. I guess I will find out.

Meet men and women from Edmonton, Canada. To start with I think it's only fair to say that I work in northern Alberta and unfortunately have to a fair amount of time away from home. Having stated that fact, I would like to be able to share the time that I do have at home with a special woman.
I am a loyal, faithful and attentive man who is a little old fashioned. I will still open doors, hold chairs etc. for a woman in my company. I will always make the effort to show my affection for and the respect I have for my partner.
I try to look at life at all times as a glass 1/2 full, accept people as they are, and face the world at all times with a smile on my face and a joke (sometimes only I think it's funny).
I like most kinds of music although I try not to sing in the shower anymore, generally the water turns cold and the tiles crack.
I'm an open book. Any questions you may have, i will be happy to answer. As you can probably guess, this is my first time attempting this so I'm not very good at it. That being said, good luck to you all who read this rambling.
In fairness, I have to let everyone know that my non-smoker status is only as of Jan. 16, 2012. So far, so good lol.
I moved to Edmonton in June.
