Date men and women from Canada / British Columbia, 53 year old - page 4

Date people from British Columbia, Canada. Down-to-earth country boy, looking to meet down-to-earth country type girl. Put me in the city and I am like a fish out of water. I am hardworking, honest and considerate and I am not afraid to get dirt under my nails. Hands-on, chip-in and get the job done. Not afraid to use a shovel and I know how to use tools. I don’t just live somewhere, I am a member within my community and I help out where I can. I am a single parent with two teen boys. Love boating, camping, hiking, long walks and I am not embarrassed to pitch a tent. I don’t need a fancy car to make me feel good; small, cheap and fuel efficient makes sense to me. Caring and considerate, good listener and sometimes I will jabber on. I am family oriented and I happen to think that the human experience is the greatest thing to have and to enjoy. When all is said and done, it’s not the things, we remember, it’s the moments. Long walks on the beach, the sound of the rain, the smell of snow, the passion in love and the warmth of friendship… these are the things that matter the most.
If you spend the bulk of your free time, holding down the sofa, complaining about others, then we are not a match. You would be active, fun and fit. You let the little things slide and you don’t carry a grudge. You like to get out and enjoy the outdoors and going fishing, heading out in the back country with quads or boating is NOT, just for the boys. When you travel, you are adventurous, you like to explore and you prefer, off the beaten track. You are responsible and you can hold your own, but like me, you prefer the company of another. When the weather is bad and winter sets in, a game of ping pong, darts or pool takes the place of TV and for those quieter moments, you enjoy cuddling up for a movie. You are young at heart and you still enjoy a roller-coaster ride.
Like me, you are and you live healthy. You have old fashioned values and you think of your life partner as your best and most trusted friend, your activity partner and your lover. You realize that in every relationship, there is always compromise, trials and difficulties and the longevity of the friendship is dependent upon honesty, communication, understanding and the will and the commitment to the friendship. Like me, you have not been through a long succession of failed relationships and this is because you tend to find peace and contentment in your current circumstances and you look at and appreciate what is good in your life, as opposed to focusing on what is imperfect.
I enjoy time off and I will soon be off for the summer. Kids are getting older and are less inclined to go camping, boating, fishing etc. So an activity partner would be nice, best friend would be better; life partner and love… hopefully, maybe, eventually? For this summer, I will probably spend 1-2 weeks at Long Beach/Tofino. Wouldn’t mind heading up to Cape Scott to explore. Maybe do some back country exploration. I wouldn’t mind putting the boat in the water and doing some fishing off the West Coast but I need a second mate.
I am realistic and I don’t expect to be off with someone new on these adventures, on a first date, but these are the types of things that I would like to do, what about you? What’s on your list?
Sorry if this was long but I prefer to have everything upfront, removing the guess work. If all this sounds good… send me a smile because I have looked around and I have not found you.
I don’t know why this is rare but there is such a thing as unconditional love.

Meet single man from British Columbia, Canada. Extremely affectionate, serene, simple and healthy. Looking for a lady with SAME profile to share good feelings, travel, have dinner and be friends.
In these two sentences above I basically include the totality of my intentions in the Match.com. So please think thoroughly about them.
I live in Vancouver Canada, but I do not like the weather here, so I will move out, probably in 2015. My first option is Brazil. (My job allows me to work anywhere)
I do not like lies, unless it is to fulfill my two rules of relationship: 1 - One must do everything to make herhis partner happy. 2 - One must do everything to avoiding herhis partner being unhappy. (Please note that these two are not the same.)
Middle-middle-class. DO NOT HAVE MUCH MONEY. But once in a while WE might travel, have dinner in a good restaurant, go to watch movies and do anything else that is not expensive. I do not think I am stingy, but you are the one who is going to judge it.
Anyway, SOME LADIES ARE LOOKING FOR A RICHER PARTNER IN FIRST PLACE, and in second place they look for romance. Hope you are not like them.
Thanks for reading my ad.

Date men and women from British Columbia, Canada. As a person I like to think of myself as confident but not an arrogant jerk. I’m a very humble man who lives a humble lifestyle and most often puts the needs of others ahead of my own.
I understand that in every relationship there’s a time to give, a time to compromise on some things, doing it all in a spirit that's loving and understanding of the other person's needs.
While some might see me as a quiet person, it would be wrong to assume that I am timid. I believe in standing up for what I believe is right, and I'm not the kind of guy who will let people take advantage of or walk on me.
I'm a strong man who will not run from adversity, a man who will always defend the underdog, but likewise, I'm not the aggressive type who will pick a fight.
I don't really care as to how people perceive me as I know I will forever be a work in progress. I, like most others, journey on a path to become a better person. For each of us that path will look different, and it's not for one to define another person's path.
I not out to create the impression “hey what a cool guy”. I DO hope that as people grace my path, they walk away with a sense of having had value added to their life.
I'm not one who needs to be the center of attention, in fact I can function quite well on the fringe or in the background.
In my day to day life I don't try to change my world through some massive campaign, but perhaps in time the history books will look back on my life and say, "He reminded us about the importance of personal honor, integrity, and mutual respect towards all who were around him".

Meet a soulmate from British Columbia, Canada. This is the heart of the matter isn't it? I've been single for a couple of years now and it is high time I jumped back into the gene pool. Despite my wide circle of friends, I have a busy life and don't get to meet a lot of new people... so here I am. If I was to list a bunch of adjectives that describe me, it would be adjectives like intelligent, funny (ha ha, not funny strange), optimistic, big heart, values friends and friendships, loves nature (which is why I do what I do, in work, life and travel), well read, contrarian, honest, nice wine collection, good lover, sensitive and in touch with my 'feminine side'. I love to play sports, not watch with my favorites being tennis, biking, ski/snowboard, hockey (recently retired), SCUBA, sailing and others.
I love nature and animals and I have great relationships with my friends children. I never ended up mayrrying and no kids of my own, despite a couple of long relationships. Music is a big part of my life and I WISH that I played a musical instrument...but don't (yet...want to teach me?). There are very few things in life that I don't like but oddly those include olives and avocado's (...it is a texture thing)...oh, and intolerance, racism, and consumerism! I don't understand republican thinking, I am an evolutionist, movie and book fan, active and outgoing, love to cook and care of others. I have a fantastic career and love what I do as well as working in a small company that I own with my best friends...what could be better?
I am pursposefully not going to be prescriptive in what I am looking for... you will know if there is a resonance here. I have an open mind to most things and in general, race, religeon (or lack of), job, languange, culture etc. - it makes no difference to me. It depends on who YOU are. Of course, I have preferences ...someone active,fit, open minded, does whatever they do because they want to not because they have to, and wants to keep exploring life and love. I've traveled a lot and had an adventurous life... having stared into the eyes of a dragon, peered into volcano's, spent my 30th birthday inside a whale, explored the Arctic and Borneo, battled bears and swam with sharks... I have a few more adventures left in me... get on a ship and let's get out of the harbour...

Date people from Canada. I am a no-nonsense guy. I like people who use their brains, specially before doing something important. I consider myself spiritual, artistic and scientific. I like expressing myself through music, writing, and computer graphics. I love nature and the mysteries and the beauty of LIFE.

Meet single man from Canada. Life really can be poetry in motion with the right person. Being eternally optimistic, I know you are out there. Born and raised here, my idea of a perfect Vancouver kinda day looks like this... Head out to Granville Island early for a giant latte, something freshly baked, the New York Times and great conversation about what's new, exciting, bizarre, cool or otherwise hitting the front pages. Some people watching, art gallery browsing, a bit of marketing as we plan "what's for dinner tonight". Depending on the weather, maybe we catch an afternoon movie, read at the beach or go for a bit of a hike on the North Shore or walk the seawall. Love to cook, entertain, create, debate, lounge, and find the humour in even the most unlikely situations. Life is far too short to not share it all with your best friend and it's always better experienced with two. If all this sounds hopelessly romantic, well, I stand guilty as charged. If it sounds a bit like you, then let's connect, check our banter compatibility and go from there. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Meet a soulmate from Canada. Hi
I'm a healthy, happy, positive minded man. I have children and see them regularly. Friends say that I'm confident, passionate and sensitive. Ok I cry watching movies, but don't tell anyone:)
I'm a VP Sales for a Vancouver based software company. Prior to joining the executive team at my current assignment, I was with Apple Computer for ten years and had my own professional speaking/sales leadership training firm.
I enjoy working out but not in an extreme gym monkey way, also long walks, the occasional round of golf and a few turns on the hill, on my board that is:) I enjoy travel, great music, the odd dance floor wiggle, team cooking and spooning. I have four amazing kids, three girls then the boy, yes I'm persistent:), the oldest two are on their own (23 & 19) the youngest two are with my ex wife (17 & 15) I see them every other weekend and are a major part of my life. I live in Coal Harbour with an amazing view of Stanley Park and I love our beautiful city! I feel very fortunate in that I'm able to walk to my office everyday! I'm ok with driving so let's not let a little distance get in the way of love. I feel drawn to fun-loving, affectionate, fit/thin, attractive, professional women who enjoy travel, music, intelligent conversation and lots of cuddling. I'm also very honest and enjoy the odd little vanilla cigar.
PS... Life is short, Occasionally bend the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that made you smile
PSS... LOVE: "If I had my life to live over again, next time I would find you sooner so I could love you longer." ~ Anonymous ~
PSSS... "If she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing. If she's worth it, I won't give up. If I give up, you're not worthy." ~ Unknown ~

. Creative, self made, reliable and down to earth. I have a unique sense of humor and am fun to be with. I am truly an optimist and typically look for the best in people. I am 6'1", in decent condition and tan very easily (so I'm darker than most). I have salt and pepper hair and have been told I have great blue eyes.
I am searching for a special someone with a certain wonderful chemistry. Yes, someone I can't live without! What I value is honesty, integrity, dependability, and respect. You can expect this from me. I am not a player nor do I want one and I have never cheated on the one I love.
If you are the right gal, I have many special ways to shower you with affection. Curious? Ask me!
I'm told that I am a good listener. I know one thing for sure....it matters!
It would also serve you well to have a good sense of humor as I will naturally want to make you laugh and smile often!
(As an extra added bonus, I rarely snore!)
Some of the things I like are hiking, photography, boating and classic cars as well as riding a variety of motorcycles and ATVs. I also like, cooking, movies, live entertainment and Canucks hockey. My main hobby is collecting most types of video and audio music. People tell me that my selection is outstanding and I am known to share generously. I am more than handy with all electronics and can demonstrate this effectively. I am also somewhat flexible and like to try new things.
Everyone likes to know if someone finds them attractive or interesting so don't hesitate to email me or at least give me a hint by saving me as a fav! And Don't be shy just because I am! I'm friendly and if the chemistry isn't right, we could be friends. If you meet me you'll see that I offer a number of pleasant surprises! I can be funny, entertaining, charming, understanding and I wear cologne daily......smile!
Love, whether it strikes at sixteen or sixty always brings with it a rush that is hard to capture in words.

. I have not had much luck with relationships. I try to fix things that are wrong, when they probably can't be fixed. I would like to find someone, who is willing to let a relationship grow, not jump right into it. I am a professional, at the top of my game now, and very good at what I do. I wish I could be the same in a relationship. I would love to have someone to grow old with, who loves me for who I am, and doesn' want to change me. I get lots of reality with my job, and just like to come home, relax and wind down. I will either be watching TV, or on the computer, reading a book or puttering around my house. As a single father to 2 boys still at home, 1 fulltime, the other parttime. (a complicated story for another time) I find I am either cleaning or cooking - sound familiar ladies!!! One of my proudest achievements is that my son who lives with me fulltime - he is 13 - has a form of Autism called Aspergers syndrome. His mother was unable and unwilling to deal with him so he is with me fulltime, and is thriving. His brother who is 10 is with me on my days off, as I work shift work. I am not trying to make my self out to be super dad, I just am more easy going than most, and refused to be a hard ass, just because "that's what parents are supposed to do" I have just come out of two relationships, both with the boys mother, and one other woman, who wanted me to be tough on my boys. I will not do that again!!! If that is how you feel a parent should be, then I am not your man. I have already raised two other kids, a boy and a girl, from my first marriage, who are great, caring and productive adults. I am tough when I need to be, but prefer to be easy going. I get all the toughness and reality at work.
I want a woman who can cuddle on the couch, go for a walk, maybe to a movie or a theatre show, and occasionally a concert. I do not want to be running around everywhere when I am off work. As I said, I get enough or that at work. One thing I will add. - I like to ballroom dance. My mother taught me years ago, and I have always enjoyed it. I have not done it in years, but am pretty sure I could not make a fool of my self doing it.

. I am quite independent. I am looking to develop a healthy loving long term relationship that will lead to family. I am happy doing my own thing but now it’s time to make some changes. Some of the things I enjoy are dancing, traveling, going for walks, biking, gym, and working on some business goals. I am self employed and work in the finance and construction industry. It’s hard to say or describe here what kind of person I am looking for. I sometimes think the kind of person we are looking for is the kind of person that we want to be. This is true to some extent and it has been very helpful for me to see that. On the other hand I think there is a great partner out there for me.
Something else I am interested in is taking care of my health. I have had a few health issues to deal with so it has forced me to learn and improve my overall health. For example I like to eat organic and lately I have been getting into the raw food movement. There are some great raw food restaurants around. Also I am conscious about the natural environment and I try to keep a low carbon footprint. I also love to travel and see the world so because of my goals to have a low carbon footprint it has made it very interesting to find ways to travel and maintain this. I am lucky that I have been able to work and travel at the same time.
I am not going to list a bunch of things that I want my “ideal” partner to be. I mean there are a few obvious things like honesty, common interests, attraction, and common goals.
But like we all know, you can have all of this and no chemistry and so it does not work. On the other hand I am definitely not looking for a whole bunch of chemistry and no common goals to keep things moving foreword.
Right now I am mainly interested in just getting out, meeting people, being real and having fun. Vancouver is a great place to explore and there is lots of interesting stuff to do. So if any of this looks interesting then give me a sign and we can chat and take it from there.
