Date men and women from Canada / British Columbia / Esquimalt, 38 year old

Date a woman from Esquimalt, Canada. A little about me....I've decided I want more fun and less rules that other people make up that I mindlessly follow. I know what I want out of life and from a partner and I am looking for someone to share lifes experiences and to do stuff with. I love to cook, and am good at it, so I am told. I like most types of music, except hard core metal or rap (glam metal circa 1986 is ok though) and I am close with my very small family. I work hard at a demanding career, I have a dog, and am a huge dog lover, so if you can't stand a little dog hair, we probably won't mesh. I like to get outside and am willing to try most forms of outdoor exercise. I am a bit of a goof, and don`t take myself so seriously that I can`t laugh at myself too.
What am I looking for? Someone who is genuine, interesting, educated (by life or school doesn't matter to me)financially secure (not looking for rich, but please be able to pay your own way!) and someone who works hard, because I do. I am not willing to settle this time round, so someone nice looking, slim and tall, who is secretly a romantic, who is honest, loves his family and is loyal to those close to him. Not really into gym rats, but someone who eats and lives right, who accepts that I may be 38, but I am way too young to be old and don't want to start crocheting doilies anytime soon. Lastly, despite my direct approach, I am looking for that special someone to shower with affection, encouragement, and trust. I am told that we Virgos can sometimes seem cold, so thought I better put that in there because these still waters run very deep.
So, let's chat first, it just might be worth it. I've heard guys hate chatting online, but this is the 21st century, let's embrace it. It has to be better than the other plans to go to the gym alone, or sit in front of the tv or drink your loneliness away with your friends, and we can at least enjoy each others company right? I am just looking for somone who can express their feelings effectively. An easy going, emotionally mature working person who wants to spend their time off work doing something other than shoppping at the big box superstore would be great.
Hope to hear from you.

Meet people from Esquimalt, Canada. Bonjour!
I was born in France, moved to many countries in Europe as a kid and enjoyed it. Arrived in Canada in my late 20th...all my family is still in France so I visit them pretty often and I love them, we are very close despite the distance.
People tell me I have a very cute french accent (am I really surprised?) and always smile, it is my brand. I enjoy every moment of life. I strongly believe that we all deserve love and happiness. I enjoy talking to people specialy if they don't agree with me, it usually leads to interesting conversations. I am open to new experiences and new activities. I used to practice paragliding, but never skydiving (it is something I really want to try!), rock climbing (would like to share that again...climbing alone is not fun...).
As a French woman I love food (but I don't drink...surprisingly) and don't starve myself, so to be fit and wear my pretty dresses, I work out, swim, walk, bike, run and I enjoy outdoor activities. I like to dress up for romantic occasions as well as I enjoy to wear jeans and sandals. I like to be sexy in intimacy but not provoking in public...it is probably my french classical touch.
If you like make-up and fake women, it is not me, as well I am not looking for a guy who loves the take pictures of his abs in the mirror of his bathroom. What you see is what you get.
I have strong friendships and I believe that it is essential in life. I am emotionnally and physically fit and balanced. I love my job, I love my life, I just would like to share it because I think it is sad not to laught with someone who understand you and share your values. I deeply think that we have choice in life and that it is up to us to improve our quality of life through honesty and willingness. I don't like people who complain for nothing. I would like to share a healthy relationship with someone who is not afraid of his feelings and who is balanced.
Is it you?
A bientot!
