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

Date a soulmate from British Columbia, Canada. This is the difficult part isn't it? How to be personal...
My friends describe me as honest, sincere, and a great listener (it should be, it's what I do for a living, lol). I am semi-retired and have a fair amount of time now to spend enjoying life.
I have also been described as passionate and intense - meaning I care deeply about a lot of issues and truly enjoy engaging conversation, and sharing of viewpoints. Those same friends would also say I am often the clown of the group. My sense of humour is usually dry and I like to be the one to get everyone laughing.
Reading, hiking, movies, social and music time with friends would be my main interests. And I am always looking to learn new things, from someone else. You would enjoy my company if you valued intelligence, and equality, and a sense of 'play' or fun about life.
Sincerity and and honesty would top the list of traits I would be looking for; No more 'players' please. He has a ready sense of humour and, like me, often sees the absurd side of things. He is intelligent and values it in his lady as well. He is comfortable in his own skin, and with his body, and likewise, values that in me too. He enjoys physical affection and likes to receive it as well; that would important.
Well, let's have a coffee and see if we click...
