Date men and women from Canada / Alberta / Peace River - page 7

Date someone special from Peace River, Canada. I was here for 12 months but got tired of all the fake profiles and the players. I don't get why people sign up on this sites to play games - or get into the country. Really? Do they not have anything better to do? However, being an eternal optimist, I thought I'd give this one more try.
If you're a real person, with real interests and real feelings, feel free to get in touch. If not, don't waste my time and clutter up my inbox.
If you have an open heart and have acknowledged your baggage, maybe we can talk. I'm not convinced that we ever get rid of our baggage, I think it can simmer below the surface and be triggered when one doesn't feel safe. I also believe the triggers can be lessened as trust is developed.
Honesty, maturity and integrity is crucial to me. It is frustrating to me that I even have to say this. One would think by the time you hit your 50s, this would be a given. Apparently not.
I expect to be treated with dignity and respect. That is how I treat others, I want nothing less for myself.
I have dogs. Sometimes lots of dogs. I am involved in purebred dog rescue and my house can seem like a revolving door for displaced, needy dogs. Fortunately, they do find their way to new homes.
I think quickly and my mind is continually making quantum leaps, which to the uninitiated, may seem intimidating (or just plain weird). Fortunately, some people do get it.
I love lazy Sunday mornings and strong, dark roast coffee (don't expect me to function well before my morning cup of coffee).
A westcoast native, I currently live in Northern Alberta (it's a long story), but I am seriously considering a relocation back to civilization and a warmer climate in the not too distant future. Alberta winters are fast losing their appeal. I just need to decide where it is I want to be for this next chapter of my life.
One of my favorite quotes:
“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
~Marilyn Monroe
Don't say I didn't warn you.

Meet a woman from Peace River, 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...
