Date men and women from Canada / British Columbia, 68 year old

Date a soulmate from British Columbia, Canada. Here's what I think about a good relationship between a woman and a man. It grows from the emotional—chemistry—and the practical—interlinkages in personality and beliefs. I think that chemistry stems from a combination of looks and scent, with voice and inflection coming third. I like tall women (either athletic or slender, but if you're in the middle of trying to get yourself back in shape, that might be fine. Also, I don't have any trouble with someone about 5'4" and up).
A good relationship avoids unnecessary conflicts over beliefs (religion, politics, etc.), financial matters, drinking and smoking, housekeeping, etc. There's also the matter of communication.
I'm very liberal in my politics. I was raised in an atheistic family but personally just say, “I don't know” about the divine. I accept the beliefs of others so long as they don't try to impose those beliefs on me.
I have a hard time tolerating smoking. (Cancer is really bad—why encourage it?) I drink in moderation (one drink a day—usually homemade beer or a glass of wine) and don't do drugs.
I enjoy creating things—digital art, photography, fiction-writing (I take writing classes), spend a lot of time on the computer planning trips, make my own bread and yoghurt, make wine and beer, like to cook (don't enjoy cleaning up, but I do it). I've made my own croissants, know how to sew on buttons, iron shirts, and do practical things like electrical maintenance. I play the piano daily (love all sorts of jazz, blues and bluegrass).
I was an exchange student to France and worked there. I speak French fluently and admire people with language ability. (I love traveling in Europe and Mexico, and I'm sure elsewhere—try me).
I worked hard and was very frugal, so I'm well fixed financially. However, due to my upbringing I tend to obsess about the cost of things. It's something I find difficult to get over. (My two brothers likewise are overly frugal).
I try really hard to communicate with my partner. Sometimes I don't succeed. If you think I'm not getting something, just touch me nicely and say, “I'm thinking that you're not understanding what I'm trying to say.” Then say it again, or in a different way. Eventually I'll catch on if you're patient. (I'll do the same, if you'll allow it).
I was raised in New York and so have a tendency to anticipate what other people are going to say and finish sentences for them. I also tune things out. If you catch me doing that, please say so. (And vice-versa, I hope).
I like cuddling and caressing. On the other hand, I'm not good at reading other people's emotions, so I tend not to initiate. Try to warm me up. It almost always works.
I work out three times a week, doing weight training and aerobic classes (sometimes swimming). The longer I live, the more I'm convinced that exercise in moderation is the key to health and longevity. On the other hand, I have no interest in spectator sports and, lacking good depth perception, do not play ball sports. I'm not really interested in someone who doesn't take care of herself physically (I want you to be around when I'm really old).
I like volunteer work, am on three boards and answer legal questions online as a volunteer. I don't watch television and get most of my current news on the Internet.
I'm very computer literate and handy at learning new
programs, downloading things.
I'm not fastidious about dress or keeping my desk neat and tidy. Maybe I'm thinking about too many other things. (I do the
dishes, however).
I try to find humor in things.
If I write to you, it's because I think I see attractive things in you. But I'm really interested in the long haul—I want to know if there's a real fit, not just an apparent one. I'm quite willing to put in the time to find out if you are.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I am not yet divorced because Canadian law mandates a one year separation before filing for divorce. I am living alone presently.

Meet a man from British Columbia, Canada. I’m an up-to-date, well-educated formerly professional (retired) man who hikes, reads, travels (Japan—lived there briefly; Barcelona—all Gaudi all the time), dances (blues on two shoes, ballroom on one), cycles, gardens (specialities: rhododendrons, skunk cabbages, slugs), uncles, talks, kayaks, dines, howls at the moon. I live in a Japanese-cannery shack wood and pottery-filled house I’ve built near Raspberryville, but get to the city often--although I live in B.C., near the border, I have Seattle and Portland connections.
I'm said to be kindly and whimsical with an off-beat sense of humour and I'm appreciated by most children, many adults and wild animals.
I'm hoping to meet a bright, quietly feisty, funny, complex, artsy woman for shared adventure, friendship, laughing, blushing, romance, staring at strangers, lending an ear, just missing the train, wasting time, tracking sand into the cabin and so forth. A woman who has many interests and curiosities and wants to pursue, share, and introduce them. Someone who'll run away with me and be at home with me. Someone who's "matchless."

Date people from British Columbia, Canada. Match will never figure out that some of us live in Victoria, not Metchosin.
Hmm. I'd say I'm a sensitive, serious, humourous person, honest, empathic, passionate but non-violent, visually and aurally attuned to life, but not spiritual. My admiring sister and old friends tell me I'm a better man than I think I am.
I've made a lot of "mistakes" by making emotional choices rather than wise ones, but learned much along the way, lived in half a dozen cities, explored the Pacific rim and Europe, and found friends along the way, so I have enjoyed a rich interesting life! No mistakes, just challenging adventures.
Proud of my creative contributions and attention to detail on so many architectural projects.
Ever a news junky, in art school I read nothing but the NYTimes in my art school English class and still got good marks. I love books.
I also love exploring new places whether it's a tiny alley, a distant city or a path through the wilderness.
Raised beneath a piano, I love most music, from classical through chill, but I have no desire to sit through an opera. I listen most often to The Blues, to Jazz, to Eric Clapton, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dillon, Ry Cooder to Etta James, KD. Lang, Nora Jones, K.T. Tunstall ...
I'm no jock, somewhat limited in fact by an old hip fracture. So, though I ran track in high school, I don't run; though I loved trying to master tennis, I must avoid playing leg impact sports; though I used to hike all day, pain now limits my endurance. Still, I love to watch Canadian football, love to walk beaches and trails - and I really should get back into swimming.
Money never mattered, so I have none - and now it matters, so I'm working full-time again.
Do our values, interests and loves touch at many points? Are you a slim, loving person with a beautiful smile and a good mind? Let's walk and talk and stop for coffee sometime.

Meet single man from British Columbia, Canada. I love to laugh and be spontaneous and hope to find someone who feels/is the same.
I'm a bit of a comic, if I can't make you laugh, you're not conscience, but I also have a
very appropriate serious side.
These attributes have always been beneficial assets in my work and relationships.
Philosophical Zen is a big part of my life.
Karma, ethics and self-enlightenment/awareness
are at the core of my personal being and I would
be very pleased to be matched with a like minded personality.
I'm non-judgemental and I feel no need to be in the "right."
My biggest laughs are at myself.
I like repartee. It lubes the brain like crosswords and puzzles.
In others I respect quick wits, intelect and high self-esteem.
I'm very young of heart, mind and body and free from the ego of inexperianced youth.
or stubborn adult intransigence.
I'm also self-reliant and independent. I don't need a nurse, a cook, a maid or a mother.
A wonderful loving companion will do nicely. That's also what I will be in return.
I'm a hopelessly romantic and sentimental about many things.
I know how to share, communicate and participate in all of my
realtionships, personal or professional.
If you are interested in this fireball/mellow fellow, please contact
me soon.
Time is precious and unrecoverable.

Date someone special from British Columbia, Canada. Quite easy going. Perhaps could be called an educated redneck. Love retirement. Love life, my truck ('01 Dodge Dakota R/T), my classic ('91 Corvette Roadster). Try to go with the flow and roll with the punches. Somewhat private but can have fun. Smiles, laughter, and a sense of humor a must. Want a friendship and/or a partnership with open communication and no hidden agendas. Try 91vette at telus dot net to see photos of my classic. My retirement hobby job is mowing fairways at a local golf course three times a week. Retirement, to me, does not mean sitting around watching TV all day and go for coffee at 10 and at 2. Remaining active is my form of exercise.
First meeting would definitely be coffee and conversation.

I like to think I have a good sense of humor, somewhat dry. My friends say I am intelligent and easy to talk to.

Date someone special from Canada. I am looking for a positive person that is not afraid of life and LOVE
2. Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing.
Wow I have to stop writing such
Sad stuff, but life should have he opertunity to be what it needs at the time, be well and love life and life will love you back

Meet men and women from Canada. My professional life. Electronic Engineer/ Management in theComputer Industry. I retired with a generous settlement to do what I always had wanted to do, write and travel. I keep fit by playing tennis and swimming.
My successful marriage ended when my wife was taken by the dreaded cancer four years ago. I ran away from the world after this to my second home in Los Cabos, Mexico. There I found myself by finishing a novel, writing four other books and reams of poetry. It took quite some time for me to learn that life is waiting in our tomorrows, not returning to our yesterdays.
Life. What is life without love ? Some people seem to manage living without love. And some people seem to think that love is something to take from another. I know that love is not a taking experience. It is a giving experience. Love will be when I come alive again. To love again and be loved again. A new life with a new love. Communicating to each other and making happiness happen. I believe in the words of a favorurite poet who wrote, "You are never given a wish, without also being given, the power to make it come true."
Relationships can be complex and have to be built. They are not so easy that they fall into our lap. Of course the first ingredient is, and should be, attraction. Then the next phase is 'sharing'. Sharing. We shall travel to Eze. A pinacle of rock in the South of France which rises up from the Mediterranean Sea below us. In all my travels it is the most spiritual place I have ever been. It is a moment of life. A moment to understand what love is. A moment to always remember. A moment to return to again and again in our hearts.
And where is that special place which might have changed you forever. And where is that mystical place we call tomorrow. Tomorrows. They are waiting beyond a door which can only be opened by one very special key, and that key is love. Life. Love. Sharing and so much more. The sands of time are drifting through an hourglass called life. A life for two who will reach out and touch because they have dared to dream. And I will read to you my favourite book. 'Tomorrow Is Within Us'. A love story I wrote many years ago. Yet it is still my favourite. And we shall find Paradise. Paradise which is not a place at all. It is when two people are in love so completely, that everywhere they are becomes a Paradise.
Buenos Dias. I shall hope to find you and I shall hope that we shall become US.
