Date men and women from Canada / British Columbia / Esquimalt, 56 year old

Date a soulmate from Esquimalt, Canada. Hi there...
I’m the entrepreneurial type, owning and running two totally different businesses. I love working for myself, following my many passions. I have fun, if it’s not fun I’m outta here! Really life is way too short!
I take a positive outlook, very much an optimist; have a smile on my face and laughing most of the time.
I believe life is what you put into it, pay it forward, be nice, kind and help people whenever you can, karma will come back four fold...
I am really busy most of the time, Ok all the time, lol I am learning to take time off. However, it's hard, I love what I do. Not many people can say that these days, I have so many interests and passions; I just go with what seems to work for me. I bought a Fender acoustic guitar; I’m looking forward to learning to play the thing.
I live in a very funky apartment overlooking the beautiful city of Victoria accompanied by my ever so charming 24 pound pure bred black Maine Coon Cat, Meow!
I love Hawaii and travelling, have travelled all over the world, and want to do more. My cat, however does not like it when I travel, but then he doesn’t take me for granted anymore either. He has become an affectionate lap cat, now give that some thought, hmmm, okay enough about my cat.
I don’t smoke cigarettes, YUK! I don’t drink at all either. I like to dress well and look good, keep myself in fairly good shape I walk everyday for an hour and I just bought a great new hybrid bike looking forward to cycling often this spring/summer. I am also tanned, clean, yes ladies even smell good. Presentation is everything OUI? I am sure you agree.
I love all types of music, rock and roll, Dave Matthews, Cold Play, Collective Soul, Sting, Moody Blues, to classical, Josh Groban, Sarah Brightman, Jazz, Diana Krall, Leonard Cohen, Michael Buble' to just name a few, there's so many artists. Live music is awesome.
Open honest communication is a must. Honesty and trust is huge with me. I am fussy eh? I’ve been told that I suffer from verbal excessiveness sometimes and speak what’s on my mind. You will never wonder what I’m thinking about. I’m very open minded, and think outside the box, I love those people that "get it" and have little tolerance for those that don't..
I like to cook and eat good healthy food, so if you’re a lady and this sounds like what you are looking for.... What can I say... Let’s mix up some ingredients!
