Meet someone special from British Columbia, Canada. Life is short. There are lots of fun things to do out there. I like unplanned agendas ... whether it is getting in the boat or a car for the weekend or traveling in Central America. I am looking for equal parts compassion, spontaneity and adventure in my partner. Its nice to spend time on the couch once in a while, but I don't want to live there. I try to keep in shape and eat healthy but I don't see anything wrong with the odd shot of tequila in life too. I love live music. I find music soothes the soul and takes me to a better place. I love alt music. There you have it

Date a man from British Columbia, Canada. I enjoy going for coffee with friends. I am terable at typing so it will be short. I am greatful just to be alive as the doctors thought I would not make it through a surgery. I had my own bisness for aprox. 30 years. I am looking for a woman that I can say is a verry good friend that is loveing caring and compationet.

Meet single man from British Columbia, Canada. Well I can an see the is the road less travelled, and perhaps tough to conjoure my profile, reflection being what it is. I am a multi faceted guy with both traditional honest and ethical motives with sprinkling of a humorous daredevil and times. I love to travel and explore the depth of places, things and people, Ive dated a a few scorpios and enjoy an edge to life and excellent 5 play. Most would look at me an immediately dismiss me because they dont feel I fit in the right box, Ive made new boxes where few have gone before. Having fun with my love, thinking about her wherever I am in the day, buying little love symbols or a bouquet just to say I love you are a few facets.
I believe in and seek the inner connection with my love, 2 souls, in knowing and in love living the magical process is incredible. I ve always had friend girls around me, a few guy friends over the decades but I have always enjoyed the depth, breadth and excitement that my friend girl friendships have been, and they I. Honesty, truth and personal ethic are very important.
I love to travel, drive, fly or ship. Ive been to europe a couple times, a month in the UK, and a month in Germany, france and Holland.
I went on a carribean cruise last year, visiting 6 countries then went to Australia for a month spending time with the local people, kangaroos, wallabies, and Otto my friend Koala bear above.Had a chance to speak with an aborigine, fascinating. I feel like dr doolittle at times with animals and my heart goes blink blink during those spca commercials.

Date a soulmate from Canada. I am a young at heart urban professional that loves city life, and being outdoors. I have a great career that I love and have been doing the same thing for over 30 years. As a creative person, I am very observant of trends, styles and attitudes in society today, and cherish the time to soak up influences from art, design, movies and culture. As an urbanite, I prefer to leave my car at home and walk or cycle everywhere. There is something about walking the neighbourhood, talking to people, saying hello to cats and dogs, and looking at interesting plants.I live a few minutes from downtown, and love the buzz of the city, but enjoy and cherish the quiet area I live in. I have no interest in living in Suburbia.
You soak up trends from architecture, graphic design, interior design, fashion and music. You can easily fit into a hip urban crowd at a design event, yet feel just as comfortable hanging out with the locals at a farmers' market, then you are the gal for me.
I am looking for a wonderful woman to develop a close friendship that would eventually lead to a long term relationship. I do miss a mental and physical connection that only comes through time getting to know each other. I don't expect you to do all the same things as I do, but you are open to trying new things, as much as I am to your favourite things you do. That's the fun part of getting to know each other. You should be slim, fit, urban focused, exercise, eat healthy, care about the environment, punctual, not prone to arguing, and mentally and financially stable.
Although I prefer to cook at home, I do enjoy dining out, and a few of my favourite places to eat are Pronto, Vij's, and Rangoli.
I enjoy traveling, and want to do more, and this fall I am visiting Spain, Italy, Africa, and France. Hopefully Vietnam is in the cards next year. A few favourite places I have visited in the past are, Nepal, Hawaii, Haida Gwaii, the Yucatan in Mexico. I very happy to stay in a five or one star hotel, and have slept with utter enjoyment in Cabanas on a beach.
A few things I like (this is not a shopping list)
- Running
- Road biking
- Kayaking
- Camping under the stars
- Hiking
- Art galleries
- Gourmet Cooking
- Urban culture
- Music off all types
- Movies (foreign and domestic)
- Design (interior, architecture, graphic design)
- Helping friends
- Traveling
- Watching and attending sporting events
- Dwell Magazine
- Saturday Globe and Mail
- Organic food
- Composting
So, if you feel my words resonate with you, then I'd love to hear from you.

Meet someone special from Canada. I love the mountains and the open road. The horizon captures my imagination.
The best time of my day is always the morning. I like strong coffee. My favourite meal is breakfast (at any time of day). I like to be on the trail early when the day is young and full of promise, the air is cool and crisp and the light is clean and clear.
I don’t like plans, goals are better - I've discovered there is a difference. When it comes to stuff - less is more!! My goal is to experience more of life and spend less time (and money) accumulating stuff.
I've learned some lessons the hard way but I’m sure glad I did - they were gifts, even (maybe especially) the most painful ones.
I like simple solitude but sharing a real connection, true experiences and "present" moments with the right person would add a rich dimension to my life. I'm hoping that person will amaze me in many different ways just by being herself. I'm fairly sure you are out there. :-)

The other is as though everything is a miracle." ~Albert Einstein

Date a man from Canada. i am just a regular kind of guy that has been single for to long this time haha, looking for a regular kind of girl, I don't care much for the bar scene but I can be coaxed into going once in a few years.

Meet single man from Canada. Iam good natured,still believe in morality, (honesty, integrity and sincerity) holding a door open for a lady and am a giver not a taker.
I like dogs and horses, my music taste varys from classic rock from the seventies and eighties to modern pop baroque and celtic.
My favourite pastime is offroading, exploring back country roads, there is nothing like smelling fresh mountain air and seeing diverse wild life and fauna. the thrill of seeing were a road will take you, stopping by a creek for a tailgate lunch or going to a lake to canoe or kyak with a sunset campfire.
It is my true desire to be able to share that exsperience with a mate who would also feel enthusiasm for it as well.

. Ah Match.com where serendipity meets the internet!! What did we do ten years ago? It is exciting and challenging to get back into the dating scene. I have had my eyes open looking for that special someone; will it be at the grocery store? (there isn’t a special aisle in Price Smart, I checked); will it be on the trip up the Grind or in the tram going down? (everyone keeps to themselves even though we are cramped in like sardines); will it be on the lunch time walk over to Cap mall? (perhaps I need to diversify and go to the Quay).
Well I think you get the idea, so time to try something new, yaah!!. You can see me, but I can’t see you, so after reading all this if you are interested drop me a wink. Us men are not the brightest of the two genders, you know it’s true.
Ok right the shopping list or the resume, immmm which first.
Well here is what I think that I am (I will supply references if I make it past the formal interview, ok?):
Outgoing, warm, caring, affectionate, positive, and funny (I hope),
I like to stay active, although the sofa is a nice spot to relax at times,
I view the world with an open mind and marvel at all its possibilities,
Every day is a new adventure; you never know what might happen,
I am fortunate to be a single dad of three boys (22, 20 and 3). The two older sons live out of province and I miss them so. The little guy is a sweetheart and thanks to his mother I enjoy great access. Which still leaves me a far bit of time to enjoy (MWF and Sunday nights).
Having said all that there are moments (everyone has them) when I can worry, be a bit moody, and might on occasion complain. Are you still there??
What am I looking for? A pulse, a sense of style and adventure, patience, ability to laugh at me and yourself, all wrapped up in a 40 to 50 something body. It would be amazing if you were healthy, active, enthusiastic about outdoors (going cycling, hiking, snowboarding running, paddling or camping) .
On the flip side you might have some baggage (let’s be honest, we all do and it makes for interesting conversation) might have some kids (we can share some parenting tips), that has an optimistic view on life, and is warm and affectionate. What really matters is on the inside.
Plans, life is what happens while you make plans, so right now I am living each day as it comes, after all I just moved to New West from the North Shore.
Hey you made it to the end, interested? Send a wink and we will see where life takes us.

I am grateful for having Jesus in my life and all the blessing God have bestowed upon me. I enjoy volunteer work. The type of person I would like to attract would love the Lord, be kind and gentle, be somewhat adventurous.

"If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on." Steve Jobs
I do love the outdoors and the south Okanagan is a great place for an Outdoor Lad and is Outdoor Lass. Hiking in the mountains or across the desert floor, having adventures in new places in our backyard is so much fun! I also love to travel across our great (and mostly neglected) country. Have you even been to PEI or Newfoundland? I’d love to go back to those red sandy beaches and huge sand dunes in maritime Canada. And sail and kayak around Haida Gwaii and the Gulf Islands.

Working on my 7/5 plan: Seven months in Canada and five in a warmer place with rich culture, sunny climes and great beaches. Without doubt, the best of both worlds. Care to join me?
I’m an easy-going, passionate guy with lots to be grateful for. I’m in pretty good shape – closing in on the same weight as when I was a long distance runner for decades. If you haven’t established good exercise habits, such as swimming or walking or hiking and biking or pushing yourself at the gym on a regular basis, we won’t likely be a match. That’s one of my must-have’s.
I’ve been with some of the most Amazing women in my life and feel grateful to have known them all—still friends with most of them. I am very much looking forward to meeting a great lady with a terrific sense of humour, like yours truly! Ha!
“It's no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your record collections disagree violently or if your favorite films wouldn't even speak to each other if they met at a party.” ? Nick Hornby
I have a soft spot for attractive girls who also have smarts, curiosity and the ability to laugh at themselves. You must want to practice the Japanese custom of [i]kaizen[i] – continual improvement and challenge yourself, because I do and I will challenge you!
Most of the women I’ve met range from their early forties to mid-fifties, even though [i]I’m actually a decade senior to my posted age here[i]. Few guess my chronological age, because of my good exercise habits and discipline for many years. There are exceptions to every rule and I bet you are an exception in many ways as well.
Are you that exceptional, semi-perfect woman I’ve been seeking?
We need not apologize for being picky. Compromise on the important things and you will crush your hope and long-term happiness.
"Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something. They're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take." Anthony Robbins
Like you, I think I totally deserve someone great, don’t you? =)
E-mail me. Let’s talk…

. I am a very warm and giving guy who devotes himself to his woman. I have never cheated on anyone that I have been with and have always been an honest and open person. I believe that a woman should stand by her man and support him, but I also feel that it is important for the man to support and have faith in his lady. I believe in open communication, lots of affection, and always being willing to compromise with each other. I love to take a blank canvas of thoughts and environment and add the right words and colors and fabrics to bring it to its natural life and light. My happiness is to being able to find someone who shares special moments with me....like watching the sun rise over the ocean, laying on the grass and looking up at the stars, cuddling on the couch and feeling the tenderness and warmth that she gives to me. I also love it when I know that I have helped someone achieve a goal or dream that they did not think was possible. I love the outdoors and taking part in activities that let me enjoy all of natures wonders. If I am frustrated with another person, then I think what and why they are making me feel this way and what can I do to change the situation. I communicate with them and let them know in a tactful way how I feel and what I think about the situation. I offer up suggestions and listen to them and hopefully reach a compromise that suits both parties.
My choice of woman:
I am seeking for a long-term and serious relationship. I am not into casual dating, nor one-night stands. I have had fun time when I was younger, been married, had serious relationship, been single and now want that one woman who I can spend my forever time with. I would keep communication open and constant in all different ways. I would work steadily towards the goal of our being in the same place together. I would let her know that she is important to me and my future and that I am willing to make compromises to make it work for both of our needs.

. I am a country boy and prefer rural to small town life.
I like nature a great deal
I like to build buildings, renos
I play a lot upon my computer and am messing around with programming
I am into spiritual developments
I like to cook
a relationship where communication between us is the most important thing
And of course there needs to be a level of sexuality that suits us both
And though I may not be the number one person in your life due to children, family
I am still important enough to be in a definite position high enough in priority so to be best of friends and the only lover

. I am honest, caring, athletic, and love the outdoors, kids, and animals. I do woodwork, some contract wildlife work, and work in my orchard, but I'm mostly retired. So when I'm not working I like to travel, go biking, sailing, skiing, hiking and camping. Or I work on my house- its over 100 years old so its a work in progress that never ends, but I love it. I've been fortunate in many ways but one. I just need to find "the one" to share life with. It seems to be more of a challenge than I figured. So the quest continues, how exciting!
Also, I am sorry if I've offended anyone I haven't replied to. Maybe I shouldn't be so damned picky as I know I'm far from perfect, but I know what I want, -sort of?
