Meet a man from British Columbia, Canada. Its my ability to be your best friend and my ease to get along with, are definatly my best qualities.
My daughter is the most important thing in my life, and making sure she is always pointed in the right direction is my main priority.
I am not a social media person, I am a firm believer in mutual eye contact across a crowded room. Face to face conversation says more about a person than hiding behind a computer... but here I am...lol. so plz no endless messages back and forth lets get to know each other the old fashioned way!

Date single man from British Columbia, Canada. Hi!
I'm professionally employed and the single parent of a 3 year old son. I grew up in Salmon Arm and am currently living back here, after spending 10 years in downtown Vancouver. However, I'm looking at relocating somewhere a bit bigger in the near future (hopefully this Autumn). Kelowna, Kamloops, Calgary Edmonton are my main cities of choice. My most likely destination will be Kelowna. I've lived there previously and really like what it has to offer as a city. However, all the cities mentioned often different appeal to me and my career allows me to be very flexible in where I live. Meeting a great woman, in any of the locations, would make my choice easy.
Some of my main interests in life are eating healthy (certified organic when possible), enjoying fine dining wines with friends, cooking the occasional gourmet dish, BBQing, snowboarding, cross country skiing, hockey, finance, warm beaches, relaxing to a good movie and being a dad.
I'm looking for a quality woman who is down to earth, easy going, self-confident, good with children, wants to have one or more children of her own and enjoys intelligent conversation. It's important that she shares the same core values in life as I do - integrity, motivation and the desire to learn are a few. However, I also believe having different non-core interests, really allows two people to learn and grow from one other. And, ultimately, that's what life is all about in my opinion. Ideally I'd like to find someone who skies or snowboards or is interested in learning how to. Given I enjoy cooking, it's a big plus if you like a wide variety of foods. I would have trouble being in a relationship with strict vegetarian or vegan. I'm big on proper nutrition and eat very healthy, but I don't restrict myself from anything, other than processed foods and sugars. The appreciation of a good glass of red wine would be an additional plus.
No smokers or drug users. However, if you like to smoke pot and get giggly with your girlfriends once in awhile, I am fine with that (I don't smoke it), as long as it's not a regular habit for you. I'm not a fan of huge tattoos (smaller ones can be sexy), breast jobs or excessive makeup. I'm more into the natural beauty thing.
Between my career and raising a child, I am pretty busy. So, I'm not too much into sending countless emails back and forth getting to know each other. It's just too time consuming. Also, it's just kind of impersonal. If we haven't decided to meet in person after a few emails, we probably aren't meant to.
Any questions, please ask. I'm pretty much an open book.
Final note: I lost my wife of 11 years to cancer in 2010. I am not looking for sympathy. However, I find it easier mentioning this up front, rather than it coming up awkwardly in conversation later. I have myself listed as 'Never Married', as I don't like being specifically searched for as a widower on these sites.

Meet a soulmate from British Columbia, Canada. UPDATE: As of the end of May 2012, my membership expired and I've decided not to renew it. So, if you haven't received a reply from me, it's because I'm unable to via 'match' ... but, thanks to the suggestion of a friend, I've migrated to POF, under the same username, pretty much copying all of my profile details; no games, as I have nothing to hide and I'm not at all interested in being a 'player'. Please feel free to reconnect and/or reach out to me there - I'd love to hear from you!

It has been many years since I've let my hair down ... or grow, for that matter. My situation in life has been improving since my separation last year and I now find myself in a position to be able to choose how I spend most of my days. It's great to have this freedom, although I have to admit that I've come to the conclusion that some more structure is preferrable and that I truly wish to be involved with a special someone again, on a long-term basis. So, having had no dating experience for a decade, I feel a tad rusty and the online world seemed like a good option. It's the end of February 2012, and this is my first week at trying to find a compatible soul to share some of my life with again.
If your nature agrees with the exploration of Nature in all her wonder and you can relate to the contemplation of who you are and where you're going, but still find yourself on what seems to be a neverending journey, then we likely have much to discuss. I'm generally turned off by the mundane and overly-complicated monstrosities of society, yet find myself enamoured by a gorgeous sunset or a starry, starry night, moving music and amazing art. Time spent with a special someone has been amiss, however, so I hope you will like to share some of my hiking (all seasons/conditions) regimen, good coffee/tea/dessert, photographic experimentation, great food (cooking or dining out; Asian to Western and everything inbetween, but especially sushi, Thai, hot-n-spicy dishes), watching films, going to live music shows ..... but to know what makes you happy and excited is also interesting to me, so being an open-minded type, it would be great if you are as well. Meeting comes first, so if there's chemistry, we'll know it, yes?
If you're a bit (or perhaps even a lot) nerdy, it's probably a good thing. The open-hearted, intellectual and non-conformists are some that I admire the most, but such traits need not be obvious nor competitive. You're comfortable in your own skin and hide very little in every sense. I'm working on breaking out of being somewhat introverted and tend to favour a strong counterbalance to my tendency to be overly cautious in particular ways. Sometimes I'm pensive, but it doesn't mean that I'm brooding. It's about an exploration of comfort zones, which I will respect as much as I hope that you will respect mine. I'm full of (good) surprises that I will happily reveal along the road to getting to know you! :)

Date someone special from Canada. Never a dull moment. Love to get out and Experience. No sitting around for this guy. Really enjoy checking out live events whether it being concerts, sporting events or what ever is going on. Travel and exploring is always fun.

Meet a man from Canada. Ok, I have started to update this old profile...new photos are up ( June '12 ). Next will be an expanded "About Me" but for now here is a brief me...
Self Employed Web Developer currently in the process of starting a new web company with 3 other partners.
I am am the classical introvert thus a bit hard to open up but when I meet someone that I see potential with I do tend to share more and do make the effort.
I don't "party" and mostly don't like that scene.
I VERY much enjoy you and me time, not so much you, me and everyone else under the sun.
I do appreciate someone that can expand my boundaries..
I am very close with my inner family and view that as a priority in life.
I have become a bit jaded but that is just a protective shell and a kind women is the perfect recipe to bring out the gooey gentle inner me.
I have a quirky / silly sense of humor.
I believe in 50 / 50 very strongly. I have been taken advantage of too many times and won't stand for it anymore. I can give but I would like the love reciprocated ( also realizing that there is NO perfect relationship ).
I do prefer the slender and feminine type of women.
I am conscious of eating healthy but also have room for the indulgent side of food ( in moderation like everything in life ).
Would love to get into Yoga with a women - I view it as a great way to achieve and maintain a healthy body.
I am frugal but not cheap. Enjoy life but make sure you save and build your wealth. Shopaholics need not apply ;)
I LOVE to travel and exploring cities and sight seeing outdoors - but business has me a bit trapped at the moment.
Ok, well that is actually a lot lol...will visit this profile soon to update. I will most likely upgrade by summer 2012.

Date single man from Canada. About me. Well, it's been 12 years since my last first date. So, being totally honest, I am not looking to jump right back into a serious relationship. Just want to put myself out there again, meet some new people and expand my horizons. I decided to give online dating a try as I've never been a "bar" person and at 39, I have no interest in being that creepy old guy that ever bar seems to have. I'm more looking for someone to sit down to a nice dinner with and have real conversations, not ones shouted over music.
I was a professional Chef. Trained and apprenticed in San Francisco. I love to cook, even more now that I don't have to earn a living at it. A great evening for me is cooking a nice meal for friends or family (or that someone special) some wine and just enjoying the company.
I'm well established in my career and have been with the same company for 15 years.
Who am I looking for? I don't have some laundry list of attributes I am looking for in a woman. My friends all tell me I should. But, right now I am just interested in meeting new people. We should have things in common for sure. But, I am also very open to learning and trying new things.
I guess there are a few things that are high on my list. I love camping and fishing. So if the outdoors, some dirt and bugs are not your thing or you hate sleeping in a tent, still open for a nice dinner and chat, but..... I like a self confident woman who knows who she is and where she is at in her life.
I think that covers the basics. If you want to know more drop me a message.

. Go placidly amidst the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its shams, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy
