Date men from Canada / British Columbia / Parksville, 52 year old

Date someone special from British Columbia, Canada. Easy-going, compassionate, faithful guy, with a good sense of humour. I am happiest when I have a nice glass of red wine in my hand while enjoying the company of friends or family.
I am a pretty good cook, and enjoy dining in as much as eating out. I like to eat healthy but I am not a fanatic about it. I mean seriously, who could give up ice cream? I am fit but once again not a fanatic. I bike every day and took up running this past summer. I even competed in my first 8K and finished with a personal best time! I am very affectionate and love physical contact, everything from hand holding to cuddling on the couch and beyond. Basically a normal guy who is afraid of being alone. OK and clowns. They give me the creeps. I guess my biggest fear is being alone ...with a clown!
I would describe my ideal partner as someone who is secure in who she is and needs nothing from me other than affection and companionship. She should take pride in her appearance but not be obsessed with it. She's equally comfortable in jeans and a T shirt, as a little black dress. She should be able to laugh at herself and give as well as she can take. She shouldn't take life too seriously, after all no one gets out alive.
