Date women from Canada / British Columbia / Comox, 50 year old

Date someone special from Comox, Canada. Hi there, I'm an easy going person, looking for a mellow guy, one who knows who he is and how to let others be their own person.
I know it takes more than a couple of chats to know if we're meant to be. So if we start out meeting and having fun, and then it goes to dating, or not, and then it moves past that, or not, whatever works!
I like kind, non judgmental people. I believe everyone is special to someone at some point in their lives, and everyone deserves to be treated with the same kindness and respect I would like my 'special people' to be treated.
I like biking, skiing, reading, yoga, movies, the ocean and the forests, so I know I live in the best place in the world, and I plan on staying here. Except for when I visit other places - warm and not too touristy is my preference, and if I can volunteer while I'm there, all the better.
I like to travel light. Literally and figuratively.
I have a strong desire for physical affection, and know that hand holding, kisses, and cuddling (and etc) are an important part of life.
I make a good living, and I don't need to care about what someone else makes, (as long as they can take care of themselves!) when who they are is so much more important.
I I like (and need) intelligence in a man, but I don't confuse it with educated. Life smart is worth a lot more than book smart.
I grew up in a family with a LOT of girls - we all turned out strong, independent, intelligent, compassionate, and considerate. If you're not looking for a door mat or a blank slate, and can handle a woman of independent means and thoughts, feel free to message!
I am seeking a calm, mature, mindfully aware, intelligent, funny, adventurous man to explore life and love. One who can stimulate me mentally, emotionally, and physically, and is willing to be stimulated. But first the mental and emotional....... because if that's not there, the rest won't matter.
