Date men from Canada / British Columbia / North Saanich, 36 year old

Date a soulmate from Canada. I have friends that think only crazy people are on the internet, I disagree (I imagine you do too). To me, this is just another avenue to meet people. You ready?
I am a positive person. I wake up happy and I try to do my best at everything I do. I've learned that what you put into this world is more often than not what you'll get out of it. May as well be positive!
I'm thankful for family, friends, and my health. I send out Christmas cards and I take the time to visit with people even if it means long drives or flights across the country. I care, I'm passionate, and I believe 'what goes around comes around'.
I'm not a total health freak, but I do workout 5-6 days a week. I shop for non-fat & organic products where possible, and I don't typically eat junk food. I do have the occasional nachos, fried foods, muffin or cookie (I do have a sweet tooth) but I don't stock my cupboards with candy, chocolate, or pop. Enough said.
My friends would describe me as funny, loyal, caring, and 'street-smart'. I'm also rather persistent and determined which has made me quite successful in many aspects of my life. I've been told I'm an excellent communicator. I can express my feelings and I am a very good listener. I've spent the time to get to know myself, and in so doing, I think I've learned to better understand others as well.
I consider myself normal, emotionally stable, and level headed and people who know me would agree. Though that may sound boring or "Vanilla", there's no shortage of fun stories in my life. I've had some awesome experiences and they continue to happen. I'm always down for an adventure and I think life is what you make of it. It's about putting out that positive fun vibe and then keeping an open mind as the opportunities present themselves. (Yes, I did read The Secret)
Fun stuff: I like dogs more than cats, but whatever..My favourite dinosaur is a pterodactyl, I have a motorcycle and love going for rides. I'm a runner and I like to race the 5K. I have a road bike, but it's old and I suck on it, but it's good cross training. I don't swim very well, but I took lessons and I've jumped into the ocean off a 20' drop and survived, so I think I'm ok with water. I go to the gym, but I'm not a beef-cake. I like to drink lattes and dress nice but I can also fix your car's brakes, or whatever else is wrong with it.
So what does that make me, a Metro-Redneck-Athlete-Comedian???
YOU:
You live a healthy lifestyle. You're kind and caring by nature. You know what you want and are somewhat independent. I think I would prefer someone who is more socially outgoing than not. However, as long as you have the confidence to say what you think and feel, it's all good.
When I'm in a relationship I love to spend lots of time with my partner. Given that, we probably won't share ALL our hobbies. I would like someone that has enough of 'their own thing going on'; so that we can each pursue our own separate interests and bring those experiences back to the relationship. You know, it gives us something to talk about and keeps things fresh.
It would be nice to share a love of music as I almost always have the radio on or a cd playing. I used to play the piano, so I have a huge respect for any musical talent. I like to go camping on a 7-10 day trip at least once a year, so hopefully you'd be interested in doing that as well. I'm not a neat freak but I keep a clean home. I don't think I would work well with a messy person, though you never know.
Lastly, it's tough to feel chemistry with someone through an email; you never know with whom you'll hit it off. Sometimes you just have to meet in person and see how things go.
ie. I'm not looking for pen pals here (or hookups)
I'd certainly consider someone who lives on the mainland and would hope that if you're over there, you don't discount me because of the distance. My family is there and I come over often.
If you haven't found The One

Meet someone special from Canada. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile and maybe learn a little about me!
I am looking for someone to spend some quality time with. Someone who does not judge the book by the bag it comes in and knows how to laugh and love. Some one who wants more out of life. Has to be ambitious and maybe a little more out going than me (kind of a shy guy here till you get to know me). I am a very hard worker and I like to relax when I am not working! I want someone who is willing to make as much time as I am willing to make & willing to work together to build a relationship in the end ;)
I am a bit of a goof and love to have everyone around me laughing as much as I can. I know where I want to go and do have a very clear direction on how to get there. I am a pet and people person and love to be around both. I have a very serious side and when need be it comes out. Always always honest and expect the same!!!!!
Long term is the final destination but taking it slow and getting to know each other first is the key. Not into Other relationship stuff or anything like that. I want meaning and substance and a real honest woman in my life.
Hope to hear from you soon!
