Date women from Canada / British Columbia / Mission, 59 year old

Date a woman from Canada. A lady, young at heart,(which helps to look young??):)attractive (good genetics):) A romantic that loves to give and receive romance with all its little surprises. Passionate, compassionate and warm hearted, perhaps to a fault. I enjoy life, living and learning the lessons of life; some are painful and some leave good memories.
.Displaying my feelings here may not appeal to some, but being honest and true, with respect for yourself, helps free you from being needy and selfish. More opportunities to enjoy and respect deserving others and what they have to offer. Romantic dinners, out or at home, with candllelite and wine. Outgoing, I'm comfortable in gardening sweats, muddy from digging and working in the yard, with grass and leaves in my hair, or in a lovely evening gown, shawl and heels looking forward to an evening out for dining, theater, walking hand in hand with warm conversation.
Profiles are a wonderful introduction to people and what they are looking for. But meetings and conversation, produce the comfort level and chemistry that relationships can be built on. The "spark",that some are looking for at a first meeting, can be illusive, and I prefer to look at a person on a deeper level. As I hope they will with me.
I place high values on friends and family. My friendships have come with me over the years and are very important. When traveling, I want to see the culture, absorb the beauty, the people, treasure the experience and learn, as travel provides an excellent education.
Good companionship, conversation, laughter, I am comfortable with people, one on one or in a crowd. Have a very good sense of humor, which is part of my personality, comes easily and adds to the comfort level. I enjoy being a lady, still appreciate chivalry, and open to your new ideas and adventures.
Acknowledging emails, both sent and received, some phone conversation, followed by dating, and as many on this site "long term" my hope. A good sincere man looking for the same. AND not playing games,or trophy dating, or pretense. A special man, a man able to accept and display feelings,.perhaps you, to love and give love. We are best friends, sharing our lives and learning as we go along.
Gardening, travel, music of all genre,(from classical to rock and in between), nature, the ocean, pets,(have cats), reading, good conversation, spontaneous and affectionate moments,(hugging/kissing,)laughter or just holding each other in comfortable silence. Supporting each other and sharing experiences,such as star lit nights, relaxing and cuddling in front of a warm fire.
Constantly learning and growing. This quality of life keeps me busy along with an exercise routine and and a healthy lifestyle.

Meet someone special from Canada. I like to have things at home go my way I guess because I raised my 2 girls by myself, worked and went to college to get my pharmacy degree. My babies are now in their thirties and I am very proud of them . They turned out to be very self sufficient and caring women. I get emotional at a beautiful sunset and warm rain in the summer. I hope to find someone who is kind and empathetic self aware and willing to be a good friend before romance comes on the scene. If it does'nt at least I would have 1 more friend.
