Date men from Canada / British Columbia / New Westminster, 46 year old

Date a soulmate from New Westminster, Canada. Wow what to say in only 4000 characters! I would first start off with that I am not into games. Simply put, I am looking for a healthy relationship that is of a long term nature. I have had a lot of success in my life and a few challenges as well.
I guess that is why they call it life! I have worked hard to get where I am in my career. Saying that, balance is key to me - a healthy balance. Work,family, and personal well being. I believe in taking care of myself physically, mentally and spiritually. I enjoy living life and can be described as a bit of a thrill seeker. Skydiving, motorcycling, bunjee jumping, white water rafting are all things that sound good to me. Saying that, a trip to the spa followed by a nice dinner out and a walk by the ocean is always a winner for me as well. I am very open to new ideas and adventures. Go with the flow is always a good motto. If you don't like physical affection (cuddling,hugs, caresses, quick kisses) then you will probably be frustrated with me. It is in my nature! A major contributor to a healthy relationship is honesty. This is really important to me. I want to be with someone I can get vulnerable with. I am pretty easy going, self assured - not cocky, openminded, willing to try new things and humorous. Family is very important to me and I am committed to being the best Dad possible to my kids. My mom taught me well, so manners come easy. She taught me that a woman should be treated with respect and I am forever grateful for this. Another contributor to a healthy relationship is open communication of feelings. We can't positively progress forward if we start stuffing the feelings. I may not like what you have to say and you may not like what I have to say, but it's much better in the long run. I don't read minds and I definetly don't speak your language! We are complimentary and contradicatory at the same time. That's the beauty of it all. If we are meant to be, then we will be. One thing I promise is that I will do my very best. My personal well being is obviously important. I like to eat healthy most of the time and working out in the gym a mininmum of three times per week. I also work on meditation as a form of clearing the mind. I work on my spitirual development on a daily basis. I don't do clubs or the bar scene. It just not what I am about. Chemistry and mutual attraction are obviously important. One promise I have made to myself is not to settle. I need to listen to my heart and I sure hope you do as well. If any of what I have just written speaks to you, please take the plunge and reach out. I don't know where it will go, but I do know that it will go nowwhere if we don't initally connect. Baby steps are key to me. I am in no rush, I have the rest of my life! 1143 characters to spare - I guess one could say I am not long winded.........

Meet someone special from New Westminster, Canada. You might find me doing cannonballs off a dock with my boys, or swooshing down the slopes on a crisp winter morning. I love the feeling of slipping into the cool water of a mountain lake. I never get angry, and I love to laugh until my sides hurt. I delight in feeling the curves of a mountain road, sneaking off to a cabin with someone special or falling asleep listening to a storm raging outside. I'm the happiest guy around when the company is good.
I found the the greatest career, but my past life left its mark and I'll never be happy in a cheap suit. I enjoy opening doors for a lady, and helping her with her chair. I've learned that with a glass of wine I really do enjoy cooking, and I'm crazy about clean sheets that have dried on the line. I swear I can smell sunshine!
If you have a dog, I hope you will understand if I play with him first.
I've traveled to amazing places, and have been blessed with life-changing experiences. But I know that moments are made special by the person who shares them with you. Want to go on an adventure?
This is why you're cool...
You're bright, compassionate, and reflexively kind. You're mature and successful, but a sparkle in your eyes reveals the mischievous little girl that dances inside you. Sometimes that little girl sneaks out, and fun things happen. You swim in the air around you, and radiate happiness. You're patient, slow to anger, and you love infecting others with your contagious laughter.
You're educated, self-sufficient, and proud of your successes. You are an explorer rather than an observer; a creator, not a consumer. You glide through a room of strangers with graceful elegance, but only your true friends know the secret depths of your character and caring.
You take pride in your appearance. You're fit and toned, and you understand that, sometimes, mud can be sexy. You revel in nature, and your faith is the source of all your strength, peace, and happiness.
Lastly, you understand the beauty and complexity of relationships; that respect, understanding (and a tiny bit of childlike fun) are the roots of a lasting connection.

Meet single man from New Westminster, Canada. My friends look at me as a mild mannered, charismatic, funny and out going guy. I look out for my son more than anything else...family is important to me. I am looking to find a like minded mature women who wants the most out of life and does her best for a drama free relationship...hard to do, as I am guilty of that myself. I like a laugh and a drink and good friends in tow. I look for the best in people, not the worst. Quite the turn around for me considering my childhood. All changed for me when my child was born and life had a different meaning. I have my silly little hobbies which are sometimes criticized, but who doesn`t. I work hard, have a brilliant work ethic and don`t believe in quitting anything because it`s getting tough. Sometimes that`s the one you are with and when you don`t quit the rewards are endless!

Date a soulmate from Canada. This is the part of the profile where the candidate gets to show off his brilliant sense of humour. I really do have one, but this whole dating process fills me with such earnest sincerity that I don't feel cheeky enough to let it out, so you'd probably have to wait for a second date to experience it (and to be fair, I should warn you that some people regret it).
I prefer a relaxed approach to life when possible, but I am responsible and reliable. The right relationship is important to me, and you can reasonably expect me to put in a fair bit of effort in that reagard. My Briggs-Meyers personality type is INTP, but I am near the middle of both the I-E and J-P axes. I love pets (but don't have one right now) and am a little bit of an environmentalist. I am curious and like to think I am open to new experiences.
I would like to meet a woman who is intellectually and physically active. She should be rational and fair-minded, and respectful of herself, others, and the environment. Traits I find attractive include: a sense of humour, curiosity, athleticism, musicality, kindness and compassion. I am a very tactile and affectionate person and desire the same in a partner. Ideally, my match and I would mesh on an intellectual level through our common interests, and enjoy some of the same recreational activities.

Meet someone special from Canada. I'm only looking for honesty and integrity.
Someone possibly considering travel, and who is a
bit adventurous.
I also don't believe describing myself on a date site
is the same as meeting me in person...

Date a man from Canada. More than just a clich?, the phrase “It is not what happens to you...it’s what you do with it.” is central to my attitude in life. I am a positive and compassionate person guided by strong ethical considerations. That being said, I am a highly creative person that embraces multiple viewpoints and perspectives which keeps those around me on their toes. I have a very adaptable personality and enjoy a great many situations and new experiences.
Humour and intelligence together with a positive outlook and a kind heart is at the core of what I am seeking in partner. I value confidence and assertiveness tempered with compassion and reason. My partner must be someone who can occasionally step outside herself and experience the value of differing perspectives. She must embrace what life throws at her while being able to see the road less travelled. My match is an explorer at heart but is comfortable in the here and now - a �go getter’ who can stop and smell the roses.
While most of our life revolves around routine living, my love interest is someone who is comfortable flying first class one day and jammed into a minivan with 15 other people on a dusty mountain road the next. As a life-long learner I am seeking to expand my horizons where so many only seek the comfort of familiarity. My romantic partner is someone who is equally curious about life and learning – embracing new ideas and even be willing to question firmly held beliefs.
Humour is an important part of my life. Just because the business of life is serious doesn’t mean that we still can’t have fun with it. I am fiercely loyal to my friends and family and have genuine respect for people. I am in good shape and very healthy: I enjoy skiing, hiking, cave exploration, camping, novice rock climbing and so many other activities I never seem to have enough time for. I also enjoy live performances, movies and just relaxing. What I enjoy most about any activity is the company I do it with.
While I am contented being single, I recognize that being in a positive relationship can be infinitely more rewarding. I love to travel as I have been to every province in Canada and many other countries. The most interesting place for me, by far, has been my time in the Galapagos Islands. I have worked in Ethiopia, Sri Lanka and the mountains of the Dominican Republic and there are still so many places on my short list to experience.
While I am looking for that one special woman to spend my life I am happy to enrich my life from contact with like-minded people.

Meet single man from Canada. Looking for an attractive, kind woman with a sense of humour. I'm a bit of a hopeless romantic. Have had long-term relationships but have never been married.
Oh yes, I'm amazingly computer-illiterate.
Spent several years growing up in New Zealand, and plan to go back for a visit in the next year or so.
Like cats and most dogs. Sharing my place with an amazing cat, and oriental shorthair, at least in theory, belongs to my room-mate.
Trying hard to give up smoking, tried the patch, now I am back "on" nicotine gum.

Date a soulmate from British Columbia, Canada. Writing in this little box is similar to writing out your dreams in our high school grad yearbooks. Hopefully some were achieved while the majority of dreams tend to get sidetracked by life. I was one of those. I realized that at the age of 45 there needed to be some changes made. Surely it helps helping a doctor tell you that you have tongue cancer but we caught it time. Never smoked, chewed or did drugs. Luck of the draw. Through the 4 months of recovery I have grown to understand that life is worth the living of enjoying the moment. I turn 50 in 4 years and 8 months. I spent time writing out an exhaustive list of 50 items to complete. Sure the goal of accomplishing such goals will be great but to me the ability to learn the skill set needed to do this would be more fascinating.
Some of these goals is eating healthier, more exercise, reading more, developing more skills (how to ice skate stop without using the boards), cooking, grouse grind and many more
My friends would say that I am a loving, caring person, kind to his friends, sees life as half full and loyal to the end.
I seem myself as one who is growing everyday to be the man his father can be proud of, that my children would be happy and call me dad and finally friends would know that my greatest joy for them is to be happy in all that they do.
But the question is "What is he looking for?
1. I too am looking for that one person who can share in the adventure of life.
2. I would like to meet that special person who likes to spend time with me and is not embarrassed about. Might seem funny, but if I was to walk into a room and see her there and she is talking to a friend and then Clooney walks she leans over to her friend and says "See the other guy. I am with him and proud to be with him".
3. When the desire to go for coffee/tea (in Seattle) away we go.
4. I like sportrs but in reality only really follow the Canucks and the Red Sox. Though I do like to bowl, walk, swim and play golf. Not very good at it.
5. Spending time together talking walking, listening, are ways to build foundations.
6. Further spending time making a beautiful supper together is a great was to build trust and see a person's creativity.
7. Going for walks and holding hands because having skin contact is a soothing and calming effect.
8. It is ok to be a big kid but it is great to be a bigger kid standing next to Donald Duck at Disneyland.
9. Going for a drive and pulling over to dance (which I can't do) to an amazing song on the radio.
10. I have many friends but 4 or 5 that I call family. Would love to incorporate groups together for a monthly family supper. If they are a part of your inner circle they should be part of our lives.
11. Roads trip across this great country and our neighbour to the south. A journey is better shared by two.
I am looking to meeting that special someone. For awhile I have been alone and am now ready to meet that special someone who is funny, caring, loves life, can carry a conversation, charming, witty, sexy and would like to spend as much time with me as I would them Even it is a nightly phone call to say thinking of you and hoping you had a great day.
I don't smoke or even do drugs and drink very socially. I have two teens that i am crazy about and try to she then when able.

Meet someone special from British Columbia, Canada. It's the hardest part to describe myself in a few sentences and I think we can know and understand
our personality and desire if we chat and
talk about our perspective of life and the purpose of it. Overall I am an honest and humble man who is looking for his soulmate. I like outdoor activities like doing sport, sight seeing and going out of town
on a nice day for picnic with my partner and friends. I believe hope is gold so think about big achievments coming in the future but enjoy the little things happen in your daily life.

Date a man from British Columbia, Canada. I try to walk with integrity. Being human means that I'll stumble. After all my soul searching, I'm as unsophisticated as they come. I'm so unrefined that I would rather eat my food with my fingers. I like finger food. I still need to learn how to be a gentleman. I'll open doors etc. but I don't know which fork to use and feel stupid standing everytime a lady arrives or leaves the table.
I'm introverted which means that I like peaceful moments in solitude. I'm forced to be extroverted through college and work. This doesn't mean that I can't be sociable. When I am comfortable with the company, my humour shines through, and depending on presesnt situation, it can be mild to very sick humour.
My blessing and curse is hyper-sensitivity. I feel too much and life can hurt. I also love in such a way as to affect myself and others.
My perception on peoples behaviour gives me insight to myself. I like quite mornings with the radio in the background and I enjoy drinking mocha at any coffee shop and watch people as they walk by. Definitely enjoy learning about people.
I get lonely and want to share my life with a lovely woman. What are her beliefs and dreams? What are her hopes and goals? What makes her happy and sad? What makes her laugh and cry? Does she love? I want to be the one to affect all these things in her. I want to make her feel like a beautiful woman. I wonder if she can still love me after I hurt her, break her heart, or disappoint her? Life's not a dress-rehearsal, and as frightening as it can be, the only way to get through life is to go through it. I just don't want to go through it alone.
Aside from physical beauty, a gentle good heart is paramount. Why? A gentle heart is an honest heart blessed with caring and concern. Her human heart understands what principles and integrity is and follows that guideline. I like woman who have their own ideas, dreams, emotions and can express them. I like women who know their power. A beautiful appearance, mind, heart, and spirit is a dream.
