Date women from Canada / British Columbia / Kelowna, 55 year old

Date a soulmate from British Columbia, Canada. I've subcribed to match again after a time away and ready to meet the right person.
I like who I am. I'm pretty easy going, hard working, self motivated, responsible and a good friend. I value family and friends, good times and laughter. I see the beauty in people and in nature. I enjoy simple, old fashioned things and a little luxury is nice too. I love finding great bargains when I shop. I enjoy lazy weekend mornings and pajama days sometimes. I think one of the biggest challenges in life is finding balance and it's also important to stop and smell the roses. As I get older I know what I like and don't like and what my passions in life are. Would love to travel more and see how others live especially near palm trees and beaches. I've lived in the same city almost all my life but very open to new adventures. I'm creative and enjoy my work in interior design/decorating. I live with my teenage daughter and life is busy and peaceful, but I'd love to find a man to share life with - the good and the bad, the ups and downs.
I'd like to meet someone who can accept who he is and who I am, respect and help each other and make the most of life in a positive and healthy way. I think I have a lot to offer and hope to spend the rest of my life in a loving and wonderful relationship with the right man. I'm not looking for perfection as no one is perfect and my perfect man may be quite different than expected. Honesty, affection, fun, laughter, enjoying each other and appreciating every day is important because life is too short to settle for less.
Does this only happen in fairy tales?

Meet someone special from British Columbia, Canada. I came to Canada 16 years ago from the UK. I have been seperated for three years and have worked through the debris of my past relationship and am now open to the possibility of a new male relationship/friendship.
I believe my friends would describe me as easy going, low maintenance, fun, good company, supportive, good listener, caring and non-judgemental-live and let live.
My grandaughter brings a smile to my face every day, as does anything to do with animals and nature, there's always something to be grateful for every day.
My family are a high priority in my life, two wonderful adult sons, daughter in law and grandaughter in Canada, also family in UK and Australia.
My social life can be hectic, as I am blessed to have a lot of awesome female friends, and enjoy sharing interests with them, be it their families, hobbies, interests.
I love being with my family, dancing, music, horse riding, enjoying dragon boat racing-past three years-socializing in general, have tried kayaking, sky diving, white water rafting and enjoyed them all. Enjoy riding pillion on a motor bike and am considering taking the course so I can get my own bike.
My ideal partner would be someone who enjoys the simple pleasures in life, going for a walk, hike, motorbike ride?, enjoys a good conversation, has a good sense of humor, going to the movies, dinner, sharing interests, cuddling up on the couch-movie- just being in each others company- cooking together/gardening together??- am open to trying new things and interests-love learning, experiencing new things.
Looking for togetherness, but not at the exclusion of all others. Someone who enjoys their own time as well as time with me.
Looking for a friend first, and who knows where it might lead, you can never have to many friends.

Date a woman from British Columbia, Canada. I am a strong, confident, down-to-earth woman who is looking to meet someone who enjoys an
independent, active woman - a man with a wonderful smile and a sense of adventure. I am a supportive friend, sister, daughter, mother (my children are grown) and my friends and family are extremely important to me - as are honesty, loyalty and kindness.
Ultimately, I would love to have a long-term, loving, committed relationship with someone special but I don't feel the need to rush this. For now, I am just hoping to meet someone who enjoys sharing life and who loves to take part in
life's little and big adventures. My ideal match would have a overall positive outlook and a curious nature. As I have said I am really attracted to a great smile and a sense of humor. And I believe chemistry is important, but since you never really know what goes into that, as far as the physical goes, the person I'd like to meet takes care of himself and takes pride in his appearance...the rest is up to fate. If this sounds like you let's start with coffee and who knows???
In addition to my listed interests, I like to stay active (walking, hiking, golfing, yoga, working out - just about anything!) I also enjoy live theatre, concerts, and I volunteer at a local hospital.
Favorite Hot Spots: I LOVE Mexico and I LOVE to travel! I have been through Canada, the US and Europe. I have also travelled to Mexico and Costa Rica. I like being near or on the water and I really appreciate a warm weather climate since I have spent most of my life living in a cold weather climate.
Favorite Things: I am an adventurous eater and will try just about anything (at least once!).

. I WILL COME BACK TO THIS PART OF MY PROFILE, I READ AN ARTICLE YESTERDAY AND MATCH.COM WAS THE TOP DATING SITE FOR CANADIANS, WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY MATCHES OUT THERE BEFORE I SPEND LOTS OF TIME DOING THIS. HAVE A GREAT NIGHT, C
Update, hmm so they say this is the top dating site for canadians, well interesting enough, i have been contacted by way too many scammers, it really bothers me that there are so many men and maybe woman(i dont have access to their profiles) are scamming so many single people. they come off as very very caring peoople, want all that love and romance stuff that maybe at one time we dreamed about, or still are dreaming about and they take advantage of that. so i have spent the last few weeks weeding and figuring out who they are and what their profiles say so that i don't get caught up in this kind of behaviour. i am very upset that there are so many people doing this - so GET OFF THE SITE IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE SCAMMERS, WHO ARE USING SOMEONE ELSE'S PICTURES THAT YOU HAVE STOLEN OR TAPPED INTO THEIR COMPUTERS - TO CONN OTHERS.
SO ONCE AGAIN:
ALL SCAMMERS GET OFF THE SITE - WE DON'T NEED DISHONEST PEOPLE ON HERE, LET US ENJOY THE SINGLE LIFE LOOKING FOR OUR OTHER SIGNIFICANT OR WHATEVER WE MAY BE LOOKING FOR.
So, guess what my top dislike is
DISHONESTY AND LIARS.
Now, what do I like, happy guys who know how to smile who are not tainted from their previous marriages, relationships and are so set in their ways - it's their way or no way.
Considerate, strong personality with lots of positive experiences.
okay will come back.
ENJOY

. I am just a regular kinda girl - not to big, not to small, I can be stylin or laid back country. I love both the city and the country lifestyle. I pretty much live in blue jeans and don't need to drive a fancy car. I like spending time at home but do occassionally like to doll up and go oot on the town, most especially to a great meal and good music.
Family is big for me. My daughter is so far away but I do have family locally and I have just relocated from the rainforest of our BC north so not so isolated. I love travel but can be content just hanging out on a stay-at-home. Right now back country roads seaching out the fall colors sounds fantastic.
I love being on the water, especially out on the ocean. I would be interested in learning how to sail. Going after a great dorado in Mexico makes me so happy cause I can feed all my friends on a good fishing day!
Phone calls from my 3 year old grandaughter make me smile and being silly with her makes me laugh! She is the most delightful honest relationship i have in my life - kids are so real!
I love to search out new recipes and cook for friends and i have been told that they love to come and eat. I bake as well and being a old style girl i am busy canning and making use of all this area has to offer. Pie is one of my specialities, garlic baked ribs..fish dishes..
I want a man who can fix things, likes to tinker about the house, likes to share the kitchen but can also be out-going and into meeting new people and having new adventures. I want a man who likes spending time with family and friends but is happy to be on his own. Right now i just need to start slow and hang out with someone - don't need intense. I am new to my area and want to explore. A dinner or lunch date is better than a movie date - I want to talk to you. Could we learn something together? Wine tour? Zip-lining? A new language? Would you like to spend your winter's somewhere warm and sunny? I would! If you think you are ready to start out making a new friend that has many different interests then I might be that friend.

. Hmmm!!! Well, I love to travel, read, movies, family, friends, dogs, aquatic therapy classes, the arts, driving long distances, & way too many other things to list.
I like to talk to strangers and get lost in antique stores, museums, and I am comfortable traveling and eating alone because I am able to entertain myself or have things to think about.
However, some interesting & intelligent male companionship is something I look forward to.
I usually carry a book or two to read if stuck in traffic, line-ups, or if waiting for someone...living in the Okanagan we know that these are all high on the probability scale. LOL!!
About the children question on the list of questions above - short of a miracle I will not be giving birth but I do really like children so I am open to however they appear in my life - neighbours, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and so forth.

. I run a successful health service agency which now allows me some nice freedoms from work commitments I enjoy ancient history and would like to explore other countries and their culture There are many places I would love to visit with a travel bud/honey. I have been to Mexico a couple of times and Hawaii. Any beautiful warm sandy beach is ok with me. I have lived in Kelowna for 20 years. It is a great place to live and come home to. I have 3 great adult kids who have found their niche in life. Always up for an adventure. I have a great sense of humour/wit and thouroughly enjoy others humour. I like to smile. I love to laugh I am easy going but not a pushover. I know a little about a lot of things. I am full of wonder for our world. I am honest, loyal and independent. Not a needy person. I love together time as well as a little space. Not to much of a conformist. Really, a pretty great catch. Modest as well.
About the one I'm looking for...
I would love to meet my mister who is funny, witty, taller,(love british humour) fun loving, positive and open minded. Looking for someone who is easy going and likes to travel. .Stimulating conversationist. My friend, partner and lover.
I'd just like to add...
I have a funny little dog. I like animals, nature beautiful sites, boating, lots of things. I love super soft cozy stuff.
I love to snuggle and smooch. I like to goof around, have fun. I do have a serious side when needed. Love most music, current and classic. Anything that gets my toes tapping. I like to dance . Variety is the spice of life. It soothes a restless soul.

. I am a quiet and very patient personality, and can be shy when I first meet someone new. After I get to know them , I will open up and can be quite chatty.
I have a very caring nature , that always thinks of others first. I tend to go with the thought of " how would I feel if was in their shoes".
My family and career are both very important to me,and I am also very protective of them. I am a mother of two girls ( both grown) , and a grandmother of two; a boy and a girl.
i am looking for a male companion who can first be a trusting friend , if the friendship grows to be intimate, that would be fine too. He must be someone who is willing to listen to my struggles and leave me to fix my own problems.
It would be great if he enjoyed going to concerts ( blues & classic rock), i do enjoy other music, but these are my favorites. If we had the same interests of going to movies, the odd trip to somewhere warm.
I am fine with a man who enjoys spending nights out with his buddies, but on the other side of that, he must be okay with telling his buddies that there are nights he wants to spend time with me.
For me having a relationship is all about trust, I hate to be lied to, and expect an open relationship. I am fine with hearing the hard reality, even if I don't like what I hear

. Genuine and looking for the same in a man, brought up in a small town but have been exposed the the city and knows how to fit in both naturally.
Gets on with all walks of life. Has natural class, outdoorsy yet likes culture etc. Is conservative and creative, fits into both worlds.
