Date men from Canada / British Columbia / Mill Bay, 58 year old

Date single man from Mill Bay, Canada. Romantically, I've been a hermit for about 6 years now. I'm pretty comfortable with myself, and by myself. I am looking for a female friend, to start. Looking at how I said that: "to start" implies I obviously desire more than a friend. As I see it, the whole idea here for both of us, is to have some fun.
I'm introspective, honest, and gently direct. I practice loving kindness. I'm pretty bright. I recognize and value many kinds of intelligence, though.
I think I am a somewhat unusual personality type. I don't fit in with a lot of crowds, nor do I care to.
I have found myself too codependent in the past to maintain a healthy relationship. That's why I've taken this 6 year break. I expect to be working on this in any relationship, but I am hoping to find someone to relax together with, into a mutually supportive chemistry.
A note: as I write this, (June of 2012), I am recovering from a broken foot that I suffered at work. This part of the (match.com) process would be a much shorter entry, if I did not have this extra time on my hands right now. And since I am on crutches, obviously I won't be a very interesting hiking or dancing partner for the next little while!
