Date women from Canada / British Columbia / Delta, 52 year old

Date a woman from Canada. **Note - I shall be finishing with Match.com the end of May and going with POF, so you can look for me there...**
Being a teacher and also a counsellor for almost 25 years there has rarely been a day where I have not loved my job. Having taught in Georgia (USA), Ontario and now in BC I have had a variety of experiences and settings that have kept me doing what I do. Many years ago, after teaching for 5 years in a maximum security for young offenders, I decided to take a year off and traveled the world - the highlight of my year away was being up close to the mountain gorillas in Zaire. The second highlight was to play golf in every country that I traveled to - and accomplished this goal! Who knew there were so many different types of grass/terrain to play on.
In the past 2 years I have become involved in political activism - one of my passions is standing up for others who may not have a voice of their own - and so have spoken out numerous times against Gordon Campbell and his actions while in office...I am not a fan of what he has done to BC. I was invited to meet with Christy Clark and Rich Coleman privately, back in November, to continue to voice our concerns, so I do read the paper avidly, knowing full well the slant that is taken in journalism.
My family and friends are everything to me. Being a Scorpian, I am overly loyal, very passionate, highly energized and most sincere. I work hard, am financially prudent and always enjoy a new adventure. That being said, I am also cautious, have been told I am stubborn (not true!) and am not willing to jump into something without really checking it outI
What am I looking for? Someone who is at a similar stage in their life; who also enjoys similar activities. It would be great if this person can cook and enjoys hosting a good meal. Confident, but not arrogant. Supportive, but not overbearing. Sense of humor, can laugh with others and at himself and enjoy the finer things in life. I have played floor hockey for years and have been into kickboxing for the past several months - what a workout...Part of my spiritual healing has involved participating in First Nations "sweats" - this has been a privilege to be invited to and has provided me with opportunities to reflect on life and myself.
Between working and raising teenagers, there is still time left to spend in a romantic relationship! If you enjoy dinner parties, walking golden retrievers, gardening, sightseeing in the city, time outdoors, watching movies and relaxing by a wood burning fire then maybe there could be a connection. It would be fun to hook up with someone who enjoys skiing, golf, going to the beach and conversing as doing this by myself is not as fun as doing it with someone special.
After being in a relationship for 20 years, this is a bit nerve racking, putting oneself out there, but with a busy schedule and not being "up" on the dating scene, I have been told this is another way to meet interesting individuals!

Meet someone special from Canada. Its time to look for someone to share some time with. I am quite outgoing, energetic and passionate person. Have a slightly dry and sometimes silly sense of humour. In my life I am most proud of my daughter, who continues to inspire me. My family & friends are fantastic but it would be great to meet someone who can be a part of my life and discover something new and wonderful with this person. If you have similar interests as I do, then we should connect.

Date a soulmate from Canada. People think I'm funny, but I can be tactless at times (I consider it just being honest or blunt). I am very curious about people, so I ask a lot of questions, but I like to be listened to....My match needs to be assertive, but discerning, active and independent, but not selfish or self-centered. I like watching football (American), and MMA. I've been involved in athletics all my life.
