Date men and women from Canada / Alberta / Peace River, 56 year old

Date a soulmate from Alberta, Canada. While I live in this small northern Alberta town I am at heart a born and bred British Columbian...before moving here I lived in Victoria and while I hope to return there it will depend upon my children and where they live...but for now I would be happy to have a quiet little peace of paradise to share with someone special...
I have always been independent but like the companionship that a relationship offers...I am okay alone but better with another...a partner whom I can share the ups and down of everyday life with and the joys of travelling to warmer climes...someone who might enjoy a bike ride along the river, a walk under the stars, a barbeque with family and friends and many other things that life has to offer...
I would like my partner to be funny, honest, sensitive, someone I can trust, as I will offer the same in return...
I have never been photogenic but have been called beautiful by some as beauty is in the eye of the beholder...been spending too much time lately eating chocolate but would much rather be doing other things with that someone special that burns calories rather than adding it to the wrong places..
Am willing to do a long distance relationship but hopefully not for too long...take a chance you just might find what you have been looking for just not in the package that you expected...
