Date a man from Canada. Enough with the games, already. If you're the kind of woman who is honest enough to get up and leave after one drink and say "we're peobably not a good match," you may just be who I'm looking to meet.

"The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration."
I guess I'm looking for an inspiration- a kindred spirit to explore the world with, enjoy the ups with and persevere through the downs with, a smile to wake up to and a look that can bring a smile to my face. I'm looking for a game changer.
Me: smart, funny, easy going, kind, imperfect but real, deceptively passionate, athletic, open minded, thoughtful, dependable, loyal, honest and trusting (hopefully not too trusting).
You: can drive a stick shift, spell your profession (correctly), watch The Daily Show or The Colbert Report (and perhaps little else), are genuinely looking to meet someone, whether it's to find new friends, a relationship, someone to date... it doesn't really matter, as long as you are NOT here looking for someone to trade messages with for months on end.

I'd like to get out more and meet new people - it seems like there's a whole lot going on out there that I've been turning a blind eye to...

Meet a soulmate from Vancouver, Canada. Meeting people in the city has been a great experience so far, usually through work, meetups and random games of beach volleyball. It is difficult to sort out who is looking for a relationship and then thier other interests, expectations and all the details that would come with an online dating profile.
My tastes are pretty simple and I'll try (and enjoy) most things with someone else who is confident, independent and adventurous.

Date people from British Columbia, Canada. I’m a confident person who enjoys living life to the fullest and would love to meet someone who likes to be active, enjoys traveling, craves adventure, and can suffer through a great glass of wine.
I enjoy live music, sporting events, movies, traveling, dining out at new and old restaurants, going to patio’s, hanging out with friends, and spending quality time with someone special.
I have a challenging job that can sometimes take a large amount of my time. Thankfully my schedule can be very flexible when needed, long weekends and holidays are always a priority.
I’m a pretty easy going person who can get along with almost anyone. I don’t have a checklist of what my potential partner must have, I think everyone is unique and has different qualities that set them apart, but some shared interests would be a great starting point.

Meet a soulmate from British Columbia, Canada. When I was a child, I grew up in New Zealand and my family used to go camping all the time. One day when I was about eight, I was walking to the beach from the campground. I guess I was singing and dancing while I walked-oblivious to others and in my own world. An elderly couple saw me and later in the day approached my mother at the campsite and told her how they thought it was wonderful how my parents had taken their “special needs” child camping and how “brave” they were.
My mum could barely stifle her immediate anger, and later, when my parents had a chance to think about it, they said they could barely stop laughing. They told me this story years later when they were sure I wouldn’t be offended. It occurs to me now how when we are young it appears perfectly natural to dance and sing publicly, unawares and uncaring of whom is watching-yet when we are older, we are certain that those that do imust be somehow mentally abnormal. I think if I had a wish it would be to keep the spirit of that child alive in me somehow, even if I don't dance and sing publically anymore.
Being that I am a guy-over time, I have become cognisant of a number of personality traits that I should probably be upfront with.
I have a tendency toward
-Believing that a bed does NOT need to be made everyday
-Having a good laugh rather than a good cry
-Never admitting to have watched Oprah on principle
-Buying magazines with articles like "Have a washboard stomach in two weeks!" and "Alyssa Milano Exposed!"
-Believing "tidy" and ”clean” to be synonymous
-Thinking I might look edgy and mysterious sometimes (could be the smoked mirror in my condo's elevator)
-Adhering to the adage that if I take more than 10 minutes to shower, shave, comb and brush I am a bit of a wussy-boy
-Understanding "Best Before" dates to be broad guidelines and ignored completely
-Absolutely refusing to wear jewelry, a tattoo or using an "emoticon" EVER (I put all these in the same category)
-Thinking facts should never get in the way of a good opinion
-Attempting to fix things until they are completely broken
-Believing that if it bleeds it can be barbecued
I am looking for a woman who understands these innate tendencies and does not want to "fix" me. I promise to accept her idiosyncrasies with equal grace and tolerance.
