Date men and women from Canada / British Columbia / Coquitlam, 44 year old

Date people from Canada. I'm really just hoping to meet a nice, decent girl who can be my best friend as well as my partner in crime. Meeting new friends online would be a definite bonus as well. My friends (when threatened lol! ) tell me I'm gentle and kind hearted and generous to a fault (whatever that means). I don't make empty promises and will gladly be there for you when you need me. I have respect for other peoples opinions and values, even when they conflict with my own. I have a lot of respect for women, especially those single moms who not only have a career but raise their kids as well. I don't know how you do it, but hats off to you special girls. My own mom raised seven of us when my dad passed away while we were all still little, so I'm from a tight knit family and they're are all very important to me. I have a great career and love what I do for a living. I'm a bit skeptical of online dating, but I figure "what the hey, people I know have met like this", so I'd thought I would give it a try. I mean, it's tough meeting people these days what with work and all that. I don't play head games and am very easy going and loyal. Integrity is not just a word with me, I take it seriously. I know there are a lot of girls out there that are good decent people because I have met them, but they are usually already in a relationship and that's something I don't mess with, period. I have a lot of what some might call old fashioned values, but to me it's always been important to be gentlemanly toward everyone regardless of their social standing.So if your in the Vancouver area and would like to chat give me a shout. Friendship would be just fine with me as well. I love to meet new people:)

Meet single man from Canada. I'm an easy going guy who is looking to spend time with a lady who enjoys simple things, loves the nature and wants to get the most out of life. Throughout my life I have come to realize what a big difference we can make by caring for each other. Opening the car door for a woman is one of those things that I enjoy doing. Even a simple smile to a stranger can cause a big impact to the overall balance of happiness in the world.
Some people may think that I'm a bit too serious, but if you get to know me better you will notice that I actually enjoy laughing and joking. It is just that English is my second language and I can't always find the right word to say at the right time.
I'm grateful for what I've been able to achieve during my life and I keep looking for ways to give back in return.
I love my two daughters with all my heart and I'm trying hard to be the best dad. One that can raise and educate them well instead of spoiling them.
I'm learning to cook now and I also like music, concerts, running and hiking. It would be a lot more fun doing so with someone who also enjoys these simple things. I'm really a bad singer, but unfortunately I like karaoke, so if she can handle this I would be thrilled!. If this happens to be too much, maybe we can trade that for some guitar riffs on the Rockband?
I'm eager to meet that special someone ...

Date a soulmate from Coquitlam, Canada. Thanks for checking me out!! I will try keep it short and sweet. I am a pretty active girl and love to keep busy staying fit and spending time with my great friends and family. I am very adventurous, spontaneous and I love to travel and have been on some incredibly fun adventures. My favorites in the past few years have been Ireland for a family reunion, bike/boat trip in Croatia, and Canuck's night in LA with my best pal where we got to see the game and then went to a Hip concert across the street. My friends count on me for humour, which I like to deliver and that is definitely a trait I admire in a partner. As much as I value health and fitness, I also love to take back the odd beer or three and do enjoy just laying low, watching good movie and definately cooking a meal together . I hope to meet somebody who values their health, has a great sense of humour and adventure and who loves to get out and enjoy life! Must love fish tacos. Lots to say, but maybe we can say it over a tea/ beer.

Date people from British Columbia, Canada. I am a nice girl looking for my match! Not an easy thing to do these days....if you are looking for someone who does not like drama and lives a simple but beautiful life than perhaps we can chat. I am looking for a true gentleman who treats me as well as I treat him!

Meet men and women from British Columbia, Canada. I like trying new things even when it could be out of my comfort zone - which would summarize this experience of internet dating!
A little about me.....
I would describe myself as easy going, down to earth, caring, compassionate, determined and independant. My boss has described me as "the calm in the storm." I've been seperated for over 3 years (hopefully divorced soon), and have learned alot along the way (through this experience as well as past relationships). I continuously try to learn from my experiences, and enhance my personal growth. My family including my 2 amazing sons, my 2 wonderful sisters, and my close friends are very important to me.
I love a variety of activities during the summer - soaking up the sun, beaches, bar-bques, and drinks on the patio. I'm fairly spontaneous, although have learned alot about planning ahead by having children. My necessities in life include dark coffee, red wine, and chocolate - dark chocolate! I enjoy being active, running, being outdoors, and working out - although I have to confess, some of my motivation for exercise is for harm reduction.
What am I looking for?
I want to find someone who is down to earth, can be real, likes to laugh, can communicate even about the hard stuff, has emotions, and isn't afraid to share them. If watching sports is more important than living life, we would likely not be a good match. If you live somewhere that would require taking a plane to see each other, same applies, we would likely not make a good match.

Date a woman from British Columbia, Canada. easy to get along, enjoy spending time with family and friends,,,love the water and outdoor activities
very independent. live life to the fulliest......hoping to meet someone, who appreaciates little things in life

Meet a soulmate from British Columbia, Canada. It's amazing how life happens. Just when you think it's all executing as planned, the universe steps in and shakes it all up. It's a new journey for me and maybe I'll be going it alone or sharing it with someone...the possibilities, though, are very exciting!
I have my "bucket list" that is constantly being worked on, and I like a mix of adventure, new experiences, and comfort. I LOVE to travel and have just started again. I also enjoy going to pubs and restaurants and will always decline a nightclub. Being active and in the outdoors has been a part of my life for years and while I'm not at all obsessive, I am in decent shape and able to do almost anything I want ie. hiking, biking, lifting, surfing (I am just getting back into running...can't quite do a half marathon yet!) I love the water...the movement, the sound, the feel of it. I need to live by it. I have a large dog (golden retriever) and love to bond with her. Financially, I am okay. I am a teacher and without children, my financial obligations and responsibilities are minimal. I am very affectionate - love to touch! - and am missing that sensual connection, that spark that flies between lovers. Not into one-nighters. My past has taught me to live in the present and that negativity, bitterness, rage and hate take me further away from the person I want to be. And I also know I don't want to be around people who carry those feelings, justifying them by invoking the power of being wounded. Hmmmmm....so ........still want to explore me further???
My passions include home, family, love, belonging, trust and reliability, loyalty, perseverance, treasured friendships, passion itself, competency, living in the present, music that moves me, books I can't put down, hot bubble baths, beautiful flowers, gin & tonic on a hot summer day, kisses and cuddling, puppy breath, waves on a beach, being active, being lazy, cocooning, being in nature, neutral colours, good design, the warmth of wood, the good in people, deep conversations, dogs, lifelong learning, travel in comfort and safety, and karma.
Through some travelling outside of NA, I'm thankful to have seen how many people live without in order to fully appreciate all that I have. I'm grateful for the incredible people (and dogs!) in my life as well as to be healthy and able to enjoy life unrestricted.
My must haves and can't stands? I have given this a lot of thought because perhaps we ask too much of our partners. My past has taught me that one person cannot possibly fulfill our needs, wants, and desires. But in a life partner, I know I need an intimate connection, where we both are ourselves, unmasked and comfortable. We are physically intimate and passionate with each other, as well as verbally intimate. My partner will be open minded, loving, generous, kind, humourous, patient, trusting and trustworthy, loyal and committed. He will enjoy an active lifestyle but not needing to be an athlete. Just not a couch potato. A lover of chocolate scores bonus points! He needs to be able to see humour in life, while respecting others, the environment, and lifelong learning. Travel would help form that learning and he would be financially responsible and capable of a lifestyle that supports needs and wants for a comfortable, but not extravagant, lifestyle. I am enjoying life on my own but am missing the companionship of a committed man and one who is striving to be the best man he can possibly be. I can't be with someone who lies (even something small - huge red flag for me), who is disloyal, mean or abusive, sloppy or unclean, an addict, self-centered, or a cheater.
There, you have me and my ideal match in a 4000-word nutshell...it may or may not generate any interest but it's genuine and true...it is what it is!

Date someone special from British Columbia, Canada. I am a friendly and approachable person. I'm told that I am easy, and comfortable to talk to. I also talk a lot so it is important that the right guy not mind my talking and is a good listener. I like to laugh, and am often smiling. A sense of humour is a must. No dry humour, or sarcasm. I feel that sarcasm is mean talk, passed off as humour. A form of mind games, which I don't like. I admire a man that tells the truth. I'm hoping to attract a man that is respectful, trustworthy, and loving. He needs to be a DIY kind of guy around the home, but also a man that is able to communicate in the relationship. The right man also holds down a job that he receives regular employment from. I haven't had much of a social life for the past two and a half years due to having a 19 months old, but would like to get out more often. I am grateful for my 3 children which the oldest has moved out on his own, and am proud to be a mom. When I'm not at work, I'm with the 2 kids at home, or working at getting my business going.
