Date women from Canada / British Columbia / Pemberton, 57 year old

Date a soulmate from British Columbia, Canada. My friends tell me I am strong & independent, honest & loyal....a fun person to be around but a bit on the serious and shy side. Am not a stubborn woman but I have had to learn to protect my self and my interests. With my late husband disabled, I was the breadwinner and caretaker of our home...he oversaw any "projects" but it was my hands he directed. It did prepare me for life on my own and I am proud to say that I am managing well. I don't mind being alone....but I don't like being lonely. I do miss having someone around to talk with, work with, cuddle with...all those "shared" times. No one can honestly say they don't need closeness with another person.
I am on the shy side, not unfriendly, just quietly cautious...until I get to know someone, then watch out!! Love good times and laughs with family and with good friends!
