Date men and women from Canada / British Columbia / Metchosin, 49 year old

Date people from British Columbia, Canada. Don't let the name 'DigginItInVic" give you the wrong idea. I am neither a Hippie nor a Beatnik. I just get a laugh from the slang.
A little about my past and me: I grew up in Victoria in a fairly protected environment and played hockey all the time. I didn't really like school but did my homework anyways. I'm back in Victoria but have not always lived here.
I'm an engineer now with a couple of small companies. I like to work on projects that interest me. I'm not too interested in 9-5. The result is that I'm working 6-7 days a week and late nights. If I'm not at a desk; I'm figuring something out in my head.
I used to feel isolated in Victoria but through travel, work and the internet my world has expanded. I don't feel any need to move.
To be honest the last 10 years have been financially and emotionally difficult but I've worked through it and am getting back on track. I kept up my volunteer work with young engineers and I put a lot of sweat into developing some technology that I hope to put in to use soon - quite exciting. In the last few years I adopted a beautiful cat from the SPCA.
Yep, I have no illusion that life is sunshine and lollipops.
I'm looking for a bright partner that is willing to deal with the ups and downs, or whatever might come along, together with a level head. Importantly, I'm looking for someone that is also interested in working on an emotionally intimate relationship,
I need my downtime so if you have your own interests and are being ok on your own sometimes that is big plus.
It takes a little time to tune into me so you'd need some patience. I'm honest, kind and reliable. That is how I was brought up.
I'm up for pretty much anything. If you’re thinking 10km fun run, I'll be walking the whole way:) I make very nice meatballs and even Tandoori Chicken - I love Indian food.
Take me for a test toast (yes, I like the Simpson’s).
PS: My profile says that I live in Metchosin. II live near UVic. I don't know how to correct the error

Date someone special from British Columbia, Canada. Hi,
I live in Victoria, BC (Not Metchosin, the system does not recognize Victoria postal codes).
I am looking for a good friendship/relationship with someone who enjoys conversation, hiking, or other activities.
I like the idea of simple life. I would like to work on a few things without sacrificing quality or integrity. I consider myself a decent, honest, and funny person who has unique perspectives on life.
Recently, I got a couple of used film cameras and enjoy creating/capturing a few good images of landscapes.
I also love outdoor activities, including sea kayaking, hiking, backpacking, and skiing.
I enjoy brewing good coffee in the morning and cooking creative dinner in the evening.
Of course, I love reading good books and watching great movies.
I play the guitar OK, maybe around the campfire or in front of a reasonably forgiving audience.
Please drop me a line if you would like to know more about me.
Thank you for checking my profile.

Date people from Metchosin, Canada. I'm smart, but it's corny gags that make me laugh.
I'm on the calm and reserved side, and probably need to be more expressive.
I'm a work in progress, like everybody.
I love Nature, and want to find more ways to help.
I'm looking for attraction, friendship, laughter, chemistry (let the fireworks begin!), respect and growth. In other words, a relationship of equals.

Meet a soulmate from Metchosin, Canada. Well to start with.. Hi, how you doing!
Kinda new to this so.. And never know what to put in this "box".
Born and lived in Victoria most of my life, moved away a few times, but keep coming back. Just can't keep
away from the most beautiful city in Canada! With the most beautiful women living here...
I consider myself a honest, trusting, compassionate man and I expect the same from others. Some of my
friends say I am too trusting and way to compassionate for the times we live in. But that is the way I was
raised and I am too old to change.
I'd like to be more active and get outdoors more and am working on that. Starting to walk to the store instead
of driving. I am starting to think about my health and eating habits more. Passing on that 2nd desert ( LoL )
I have taken up walking and hike some what.. Though it is a bit boreing solo..
I really enjoy a good laugh, even if it's aimed at me. I think humor is what helps keeps us young and excited about life.
I want to travel more as the years go on and see much more of the world than I've seen so far. I like to experience the
culture of the different places I have been I am thinking of Greece or Italy as the next places I'd like to visit. They both have
so much history to see and experience.
I enjoy most sports, but don't rearrange my life to watch them all day. All though, I do enjoy every once in a while being with the guys and catching a game or 2 down at the local watering hole, even when my team loses.
I enjoy a good walk in the rain ( com'on it's Victoria, right!) or a stroll along the beach. Haven't been on a bike in a long time, and inline roller blades are something I am thinking of getting into this coming summer, and would love to take up boating too.
I can't say I am the life of the party, ( Sorry, no Robin Williams or Adam Sandler here ) but I do enjoy good conversations, but am
more of a listener, and wait till I have something to say or contribute to the conversation... we all can't be talking at once, right?
It is not being shy, but just being a quite type person.
I know there is more to say.. and will try to update later.
Well thanks for stopping by.. Hope to chat soon!
Whoot Quit smoking.. 2 weeks and feeling great!

Date a soulmate from Canada. My friends would describe me as enthusiastic, intelligent, adventurous, fun loving but serious, a poor speller, critical thinker, adaptable, versatile, straight forward, good sense of humor, physically fit and interested in maintaining that, love to laugh, and mechanically inclined.
I enjoy my own company or hanging out with friends, going on an adventure or just sitting back sharing a meal.
I am looking for love, friendship, a partner in life. You have to be warm hearted, easy going, able to laugh with me, at me and yourself. I am very affectionate and a cuddler, I love touch, so no sleeping apart. Public displays of affection do not bother me. If you don't like communication through touch then I wish you well on your search for your mate.
I have travelled to a few far flung places and look forward to exploring some more. I motorcycle and love touring on it. I really enjoy camping and sleeping under the stars, but if it's going to be wet I prefer a solid roof.
If you like trying new things and new adventures that is perfect as I do as well but tend to get comfy in my routine. I think life is an adventure and our attitude is what makes it a fun time or a struggle.
I hope this gives an insight into the type of person I am and who I seek as a mate. Thank you for viewing my profile.
