Meet someone special from Parksville, Canada. Well, I've finally decided to take the plunge and go from merely testing the waters to diving headfirst into the imposing yet intriguing internet dating pool. As the expression goes, "nothing ventured nothing gained" and that aptly describes my general outlook on life. So, I suppose I should begin by telling you a little bit about myself. I was born and raised in England having emigrated with my family to Canada at the tender age of eleven yet surprisingly I have retained somewhat of an English accent. I'm sure it's due to my having resided in numerous locations throughout childhood that I have always been comfortable adapting to new environments and challenges. I have worked in a variety of professions including such occupations as the full- time ministry, educational field in the public school system, sales and marketing to name a few and virtually all have been people orientated. I place great importance on family and friends and I have two wonderful daughters each unique in their own way. Now, as to describing my own character it seems to me someone else should be singing my praises ... but I guess it's down to me to tell you what a wonderful guy I am lol. Let me first say how grateful I am to my parents for providing a loving family environment in which I witnessed first hand the importance mutual love, trust and respect play in a happy, harmonious relationship. I am sincere, considerate and loyal and expect those qualities in a partner. I am generally outgoing and enjoy meeting new people. I am affectionate by nature and truly a romantic at heart. I have experienced some major bumps and bruises in my life's journey (including a bout with cancer at age 19- that changes your perspective in a hurry) but with loving support, faith and a healthy sense of humor I have prevailed. I believe the adversities that I have encountered in life have made me a more compassionate and thoughtful human being. Although I am comfortable in my own company I am at a point in my life where I want to share life's experiences with that special someone. I want to be able to attend a movie in the company of a woman that makes life that much more meaningful. To have a reason to look for that special gift at Christmas because their presence in your life has brought you additional joy and fulfillment. To plan trips to destinations that are that much more exciting because of who is accompanying you on your travels. I am looking for a woman of substance who is more interested in my character than my bank account. Who places greater emphasis on the spiritual than the material. Who shares similar interests and values and is not afraid to grow. If this applies to you then I may be just the man you're looking for. There's a lot more I can say but I'll leave it at that for now. (besides my hands are starting to cramp :-) If any of this sparks your interest then please drop me a line and we can chat. God bless and best wishes in your quest. PS Please have a profile photo if you want to contact me. It saves time and shows you've made the effort.
