Date men and women from Canada / British Columbia / Metchosin, 42 year old

Date men and women from British Columbia, Canada. Thanks for stopping by. I am a local entrepreneur (mortgage broker) looking for a committed relationship. As a relative newcomer to Victoria I'm still enjoying the change of pace and everything island life has to offer. Learning new things and exploring different parts of the amazing island is my passion.
My interests include outdoor activities of all kinds, adventure, hiking, road trips, politics, business, healthy living, and last but not least, great food. Food is a simple pleasure best shared with a special someone. I would luv to take a cooking course and learn how to make more delicious meals. I do enjoy the occasional glass of good red wine but have recently taken a break from it while I focus on fitness.
As a self-employed, business guy I am very independent (financially and personally) and like to steer my own ship. I believe that we are all works in progress and that positive changes come to us if we are open and work toward it. I have faith that I can meet the right lady to share all of the wonderful experiences yet to unfold in this amazing life.
On a lighter note, I am a bit of a car guy and enjoy getting out on road trips whenever possible. My last road trip was to Oregon and it was a blast. How about joining me for another adventure?
I post the odd business related video on youtube under ristorates so check me out there and tell me what you think. :-) If you like what you have read so far send me a note. I would enjoy getting to know you.
Talk Soon.

Date single man from British Columbia, Canada. Avant Garde Eclectic Eloquent Man of DifferentTastes
Among my activities are hiking, exploring open spaces , most sports and using my senses (not the one referred to as "common") optimally – like smelling cinnamon, the wetness of the earth and freshly cut grass, tasting a tear, listening to the birds' symphonic sounds at five in the morning, feeling the warmth of a loving hug and tasting the sweet in between sour.
Interests include biographies, sharing and listening, reading and writing, challenges that ignite the spark, theatre, art that means more than just a still image and galleries, recipes, travel of course, novels and movies...
I'm adaptable, honest, transparent, don't hold grudges and enjoy times in the rugged outdoors as much as I do the comforts of my home. I'm spiritual, masculine, attractive, affectionate, financially secure, communicative, kind, and loving.
I love moments that offer beauty in art, people, nature, words and actions. Huge trees, fireplaces, the moon, stars, bonfires, thunder storms, butterflies, rural places and their people, long stretched-out roads and cross-word puzzles all fascinate me with their mystique and the many stories they carry. If only they could tell!
I believe passion is probably one of the most important dimensions of the human composition – without that we are left without those dreams and aspirations that keep us going.
It would be nice if you have a head with eyes and a mouth and ears attached to it. Throw in humor and the ability to change a tire - well not mine; the car's - and you're halfway there already...
Someone above normal; respectful, stable, transparent and consistent in thinking and behavior. Someone who has a curiosity about the world and a joyful passion for life, one who shows humor and integrity.

I would like to meet a beautiful, smart, caring, loyal, creative woman. Good sense of humour is a must!! Outspoken, Social, Pretty with a great fashion sense...Classy and down to earth!

Date someone special from British Columbia, Canada. A cuddle on a chilly night. A walk through the market hand-in-hand. One A.M. underducks on childhood swings. Someone who isn't afraid to try, love and be loved. That is what I want.
Me you ask? I'm professional-meets-punk, turn wannabe philanthropist. Its not that I think outside the box, the box is simply irrelevant.
I have sincerely lived and with that I hope it has brought some wisdom, but my sense of adventure still pushes me to try something new anyways. From the bleeding edge of technology to the social issues of working to end poverty to writing a book based in psychology-meets-quantum theory. A blend of science and art. I am me. Nothing more, nothing less, no one else.
An equal. It sounds like a simple concept. But the reality is that I have learned, it is a very rare thing. Can you bounce between different social circles without a pause? Go from the Union Club to Logan's to watch a live band to an art gallery? Do you have the strength to challenge me? Will you speak your mind and say what you really feel or try and tell me what you think I want to hear? Are you comfortable in your own skin or do you worry and stress about what others think of you? Do you say please and thank you and when required take ownership and say sorry and mean it?

Date men and women from Metchosin, Canada. I am hoping to find someone with a great sense of adventure and desire to travel. I guess it is important to be with someone at the same place in life ie. have a nice career/job, may want a family, but still wants to travel and see the world. She should be affectionate and able to have fun in all kinds of situations.
P.S. I realize my profile says I'm in Metchosin, but this is incorrect, I think their is something wrong with the postal code interface that determines my city. I actually live in Saanich, very near to Victoria itself. Cheers.

Date single man from Metchosin, Canada. I am a down to earth person who loves most things. and who loves to please people.
Family is important to me.
I am looking for a match that likes being around people and having fun together, doing enjoyable things and having a great time doing activities that promote laughter, fun, and common interests.
Examples are Dinners, Music, Walks, Hikes, Golfing, or other things that keep the heart and mind happy. That last part is important as well, because people matter.
One of my favorite things to do is research and watch newer movies, and find music, especially high-energy remixed 80s songs, to listen to and share.

Meet people from Metchosin, Canada. I am an adventurous guy who loves to travel and willing to try almost anything.... I'm a bit of a thrill seeker who also likes a good time out. I am definately into the beach, surf, and sand. Do you like a man who likes to cook exceptional meals for you? I am ready to get out there and have fun, are you? I have much to tell you, are you interested? Not sure what kind of relationship I am after, but if the right women comes along you never know....

Date people from Canada. I am am friendly, outgoing and social. Love to stay in watching a movie, hockey or just listening to some music with a glass of red wine. I also love to entertain and spend time with family and friends. I am looking for a man who is genuine, funny and who is looking for the right girl.

Meet a soulmate from Canada. I am not sure if a few pictures and some witty text will find me a match but if it starts a conversation to get to know you better I am willing to take a chance if you are.
I think chemistry is important. I know it seems cold but I do think even from a photo and a few words you can get a sense whether there is an attraction there worth digging a little deeper into. I feel beautiful inside and out although I wonРІР‚в„ўt lie, there are days where the pony tail and yoga pants are the way to go. To clarify, it doesnРІР‚в„ўt mean I am lazy and donРІР‚в„ўt care, it means I am comfortable with myself to just be me naturally.
I am a Gemini. That info serves no real purpose except to warn you there are two very different people in here which I think are amazing. For example, I own equal pairs of high heels (sassy numbers) and flat shoes (gum boots and sneakers), like fine dining to a burger and fries, wine or beer, I have an SUV and a sports car, love art museums and car museums, camping to five star hotels, luxury travel to backpacking, miss manners to inappropriate behaviour when called for. Get my point. For me, a partner who could share in that would be amazing. And, IРІР‚в„ўm always open to expanding my horizons so if you have a hobby or something on your list you like to do that I donРІР‚в„ўt, well IРІР‚в„ўm willing to give it a try if you have the patience to teach me. Worst case, if I hate it, then it becomes your thing and you have my full support so go have fun! Please only respond if you get this and live it, not want to live it one day :)
Some of my friends would say I am outgoing, funny, a renaissance women, others would say IРІР‚в„ўm shy and reserved. My thought is that I fit the energy of the person IРІР‚в„ўm with while always being myself. Yup, IРІР‚в„ўm just good like that. I donРІР‚в„ўt do fighting and screaming and if we disagree then I like to talk it out then and there vs. stew on it for days until we are still mad at each other and have forgotten why.
I'm an Island girl born and raised. Love to spend time with my family who I'm very close to. Also, there are my two dogs. You must love dogs because they are like my kids (not in a dress them up in ridiculous outfits kind of way) in that they get my full attention with lots of walks and love.
I am an artist. This is new for me. For those who are panicking right now and thinking oh my god IРІР‚в„ўll have to take care of her please donРІР‚в„ўt worry. IРІР‚в„ўm a big girl and can look after myself. I am perusing art because I choose to and have the means to do so. Worst case, I have an accounting designation and the business degree with 15 years of running my own business. Just sayin, itРІР‚в„ўs a pretty good backup plan
I am fortunate to have lived a great life thus far. Done lots of the grown up responsible things like career, raised an amazing step-daughter and achieved lots of the material stuff one typically strives for. It's been nice but now I'm looking for that which is more inspiring and holds greater meaning.
So I am in explorer mode which mean a potential partner better be really good at listening without judgement, be support, creative, and inspire me(us) to follow my(our) dreams. I am great at all those things so I expect the same in return. Oh, and someone who can communicate their thoughts, be a bit of a romantic is also on the list.
To be strait, I am widowed in the last year. What I can say about that is I have learned more about myself and my ability to love unconditionally that I ever could have imagined. I know what it feels like to be loved unconditionally and I have seen what courage, grace and dignity look like. I am not sad but grateful for the entire experience.
I'm sure there is a lot more to say but that will come in time for those wishing to talk more.

Date men and women from Canada. I am intelligent and have a great sense of humor. I have extreme compassion and feel the pain of others. I like cooking, which is one of the most important daily chores but pains for some people. I'm looking for a friendship with a person who is emotionally mature and knows how to communicate. Many people say they are good listeners but most of them just listen but don't hear with heart. Meeting with a person from different culture and background and make it a real solid relationship won't be just a piece of cake but is worth expecting!

Meet a woman from Canada. I guess this is where I am supposed to spark an interest... First off I value integrity, compassion, and adventure. My friends and family are important to me, as is laughter. Secondly I don't live in Metchosm (not sure why it says Metchosm, not that there is anything wrong with it) but, I am a Fernwood resident and love our boulevard gardens and painted poles :)
I can ramble tons of 'simple pleasures' that cost little or next to nothing. I have some weird quirks, but I like them, well most of them without being too much of a perfectionist. I have an unconventional schedule that allows for lots of flexibility with multiple days off and a couple weeks off a few times a year, something else I like.
I love my vocation, it takes a special individual to care for people the way nurses do. But with crazy hours and shift work, self care is placed high on priorities. I go for massages regularly and don't mind sharing my experiences with reciprocation to a partner. Having a fit body also helps in this profession. I mostly go to work in my pj's, aka scrubs (I do have the sexy nurse dress too), spend a lot of time in fitness wear, so putting on that blouse and boots brought back from Italy is something to look forward to.
I love to cook and eat healthy. Dark chocolate (especially with port) is a weakness though. Going to tasting venues is a fun pass time as well as open air markets. I take pride in being sustainable and growing my own veg and berries. I think home improvements would be a bonus shared with someone... and antiques are heavy to move around oneself.
In my spare time you will find me getting outdoors with nature... hiking, biking, kayaking, jogging, gardening, skiing, camping etc, I don't melt in the rain, I have a dog :) I am up for adventures, and don't mind an all inclusive with activity. I've travelled to some amazing places and have a current bucket list I am working on with adventures close to home as well. I do 5 star and a 40lb pack with stove and mattress equally well, without complaints. I have no trouble making an itinerary or being spontaneous. I do have trouble in what to pack and bringing the right things, you would think one would eventually learn???
I am caring in and out of my profession, but affectionate and intimate in a relationship. I have wonderful friends who do amazing fun things I am always included in. I think if people are bored,they are probably boring...I'm looking to share the wonderments of life with someone special, maybe we can meet along the way and see where that goes.

Date someone special from Canada. Hi! I'm not going to post my photo, but just ask me for it and I'll email it!
I'm attractive, smart, easygoing and have great sense of humour (just like everyone else, right?!) I have a career and am self-sufficient...bla bla bla...but would love to find someone to spend time with.
You must be smart, be successful in your own way, and posess a youthful and spunky spirit. Would love to find long term, but am in no hurry...so let's go out!
PS - I don't live in Metchosin...
