Date men and women from Canada / British Columbia / Vancouver, 42 year old

Date people from Vancouver, Canada. Looking to meet someone that I'm attracted to both physically and mentally (umm..I guess we all are :), that has a playful side as well as the ability to indulge in meaningful conversation and has a great sense of humor. I would consider myself stable, a bit of a romantic :)... aww..... and I like to believe that I have a great sense of humor :)
In my spare time I write music, do yoga and play a variety of sports. I do like to keep in shape and would prefer to meet someone that takes a level of pride in their appearance as well. I'm not looking for a supermodel by any means though and I'm not a 'boobs' or 'butt' kinda guy. I'm just looking for a quality partner who can make me laugh here and there and that just 'gets' me and I get her.
Anyhow, that is my big sales pitch :) I wish the best to everyone in their search!

Meet men and women from Vancouver, Canada. Many are making love. Up above, the angels
in the unshaken ether and crystal of human longing
are braiding one another's hair, which is strawberry blond
and the texture of cold rivers. They glance
down from time to time at the awkward ecstasy--
it must look to them like featherless birds
splashing in the spring puddle of a bed--
and then one woman, she is about to come,
peels back the man's shut eyelids and says,
look at me, and he does. Or is it the man
tugging the curtain rope in that dark theater?
Anyway, they do, they look at each other;
two beings with evolved eyes, rapacious,
startled, connected at the belly in an unbelievably sweet
lubricious glue, stare at each other,
and the angels are desolate. They hate it. They shudder pathetically
like lithographs of Victorian beggars
with perfect features and alabaster skin hawking rags
in the lewd alleys of the novel.
All of creation is offended by this distress.
It is like the keening sound the moon makes sometimes,
rising. The lovers especially cannot bear it,
it fills them with unspeakable sadness, so that
they close their eyes again and hold each other, each
feeling the mortal singularity of the body
they have enchanted out of death for an hour or so,
and one day, running at sunset, the woman says to the man,
I woke up feeling so sad this morning because I realized
that you could not, as much as I love you,
dear heart, cure my loneliness,
wherewith she touched his cheek to reassure him
that she did not mean to hurt him with this truth.
And the man is not hurt exactly,
he understands that life has limits, that people
die young, fail at love,
fail of their ambitions. He runs beside her, he thinks
of the sadness they have gasped and crooned their way out of
coming, clutching each other with old, invented
forms of grace and clumsy gratitude, ready
to be alone again, or dissatisfied, or merely
companionable like the couples on the summer beach
reading magazine articles about intimacy between the sexes
to themselves, and to each other,
and to the immense, illiterate, consoling angels.

Meet someone special from Vancouver, Canada. No, my name is not Sam :) It's an acronym... If you were wondering :)
Born and raised in Vancouver. I have a professional career which I am devoted to and love. After 20 years, it's afforded me my lifestyle of travel and standard of living.
In my spare time - I'm usually involved in some type of motorsports and more recently trying to figure out the game of golf. I'm a mechanically inclined, handy 'round the house and can cook up a storm kind of guy.
I am blessed with close relationships with my family and friends. I like to entertain at home - cooking up meals to match a bottle of red or firing up the grill and relaxing with friends over a few cold beers.
My musical tastes vary, I listen to most genres. I am classically trained in piano. I speak a few languages and have lived on two other continents in my life. I enjoy traveling and recently discovered the enjoyment of cruising. I also indulge in the occasional escape to Vegas a couple times a year. I am fascinated by other cultures and have an affinity for picking up languages.
My mantras in life have been to live by the golden rule and birds of a feather flock together.
Right now, I'd like to meet someone who would like to go out and share some interesting activities - such as catching the latest indie flick, checking out some concerts or indulging in some exotic cuisines (so much to explore in Vancouver). I'm not into serial dating and would much rather prefer to make contact, connect and meet.
To be honest, I do miss the company of someone special on those spontaneous escapes from routine life. I plan to settle - so I do have a clear vision of what I would like in a relationship.
My preferences are local, independent, career-oriented (employed), confident, open to new adventures, loves to travel, interested in the possibility of starting a family.
So if you are interested and would like to find out more - connect with me with a wink or a message. I will reply :) good luck!

Date people from British Columbia, Canada. I know it's difficult for woman to trust just anyone they meet on this site and it's important you think before you act and not have some psycho give you nothing but problems!!! We all hear horror stories about online interaction!!! I know there are good people out there, we all need to be smart about who we're talking to.
Me, I don't pretend to be something I'm not and I have no problem giving someone extra information about myself if you want to meet up, I don't blame you!! They say woman can get up to 100 emails or comments a day on this site and that is crazy and overwhelming for most to take in!!
I'm an honest and passionate guy, I try to live healthy and have a positive outlook on life. I enjoy spending time with my nephews and neices when I can, especially when they are participating in sporting events, it makes me happy to see them so excited!!
My favorite place in the world is Italy, I might be biest because of my Italian heritage but I truly love visiting Rome, Florence and the many beautiful regions in the country!! That said, we live in a beautiful province here in BC, some truly breathtaking places that I had the opportunity to experience when traveling as a musician.
Hobbies!! I love listening and playing music, I'm a drummer and got my first drum set at the age of 5 and thank God every day for such a gift!!!! Music is a hobby and a second income for me!!
Sports, I love Soccer, hockey, Basketball and Tennis!!!
I enjoy going to museums, my two favorites to date are the Met in New York and the Uffizi in Florence!!
I like weekend getaways, Seattle, Whistler, Vancouver Island and whatever sounds like fun!!
I love good food and try to eat healthy! My body is like an F1 car, if you put in low octane gas the engine will seize:)
Work! I love my job and take pride in what I do, stressful at times but I like the challenge!! I'm blessed to have a career that I love!!
What my friends would say about me? I'm loyal, a man of my word, respectful, funny and one cool cat:)
Some woman say I'm a little to much of a straight shooter and say what's on my mind, others say I'm very sexy:)
I hope to find somebody who shares some of the same interests as me, a woman with class and culture, positive, kind, open and honest, passionate about her life and hobbies, to one day have a family with!! Someone to grow old with, someone I can truly say is my love and my life!!
Losing my father many years ago made me realize how precious life is and what is truly important in a person, we tend to forget how important friends and family are until they are no longer with us, it changed my perspective of life and I see things much differently because of what I experienced, having a good heart is more important then anything in life!!!

I am looking to meet an attractive mature female between 35 and 50 for a long term relationship. If this sounds like you, let me know! Cheers

Meet a soulmate from British Columbia, Canada. What does one say to find the right mate? I am attracted to feminine women, I am looking for my equal. I am happy with who I am, and am looking for a woman that is comfortable with who she is. I will always try and make sure she knows how I feel. I am honest to the point of being brutal. But not at the expense of someones feelings. I am ready to give all the time and effort it takes to make a relationship work. I am laid back and try not to take anything too seriously. I love to make people laugh, but am on the quieter side unless I know them.
I love the way Asian females look, it is mostly the almond shaped brown eyes, the beautiful silky hair. The longer, the better. And their skin is so soft and touchable...
I am a one woman guy and believe in taking care of my girl, am very protective and try to be chivalrous.

Meet someone special from British Columbia, Canada. I am looking for an articulate, attractive partner who has an inquiring mind. I particularly enjoy traveling, dinning out, tasting wine. I would like to do all these things with a life partner. what more would you like to know. I look forward to hearing from you.

Date people from Canada. Is the online thing right for me? I don't know. Having someone become interested enough to want to meet you merely by reading words on a screen and seeing a few one dimensional images... it's a long shot! But maybe, just maybe, she's out there and will read this.
It would be nice to meet someone who is comfortable communicating (even if it's about an uncomfortable topic), intelligent, fit, attractive and funny (seriously, funny wins you big points!); someone who will want our silences to be comfortable, her walks long and her kisses even longer (provided it gets that far). Yeah, I'm a bit of a romantic.
Looks matter to you, as they do to me, but not so much that you're blinded to other captivating qualities one may have. I want to feel like I can't take my eyes from you, but I also want to have great conversations with someone who is loving, responsible, loyal and respectful. Someone who can not only tell me they're present for me but is prepared to prove it to me with their actions. Also, did I mention your being funny is key?
Me? Well, I'm occasionally handsome, sometimes quite charming and usually pretty funny. I love making people laugh. I love my family, though they're far away. My friends are important to me. I'm fit and enjoy being outside as much as I can since my job requires being indoors.
Digital chat is so one dimensional and I much prefer getting to know not just what one has to say, but all the nuances involved in how they say it. Therefore, I'd rather meet face to face and go for a walk or have a drink so we're really getting to know each other instead of simply how well we can spell and what our favourite emoticons are.
I guess I'm looking for someone who, like me, has their life together and is maybe missing that someone to come along and share the triumphs and pitfalls life has to offer. Someone who won't make fun of the fact that my british accent comes back after I've had a few drinks and someone who'll tell me when I have something in my teeth, my fly is down or I have toilet paper stuck to my shoe. And let's face it kids, as we get older, dating is a lot of work (regardless of what the romantics in us want to believe) so again I have to state how important it is that she has the time and emotional availability to date.
The (tongue in cheek) fine print about you:
- If you have big fake knockers (or refer to them as 'knockers'), I'm not your guy.
- If you pick your nose in your car thinking no one can see you, it's not going to work.
- If you think the Merritt country festival thing is a good time or you call people "hon" or "hun" -- we're already so wrong for each other.
- If you're going to write me and use "lol" a lot, type "u" instead of "you", substitute "z" for "s" (e.g., howz it going?) or use caps lock for entire sentences (one/two word emphasis is ok), please be SUPER good looking or I'm not going to be able to see past that ok?
- If you still go to all-night DJ parties, pop pills and come home at 8am looking like a vampire... yeah, no.
The (tongue in cheek) fine print about me:
- I have a couple of tattoos.
- I have a rather non-politically correct, dark sense of humour so please have a sense of humour yourself or, at the very least, be able to tolerate mine. ;)
- Some of my pics show me wearing studs in my ears -- I don't anymore.
- Intentional ignorance, caps lock, flakiness and brussel sprouts annoy me more than anything else.
- I may own more pairs of shoes than you.
PS - If I add you as a favourite and don't send you a message immediately, don't worry, I don't have plans to stalk you from a distance. I might not have had the time, or thought "wow, cute" but was too tired or didn't have enough time to put my best foot forward in writing when I first stumbled upon your profile. Same with winks. If I send a wink, it's probably for the same reason. Take that as a smile from across the room and if you're so inclined, wink back. I'll be sure to get in touch. =)

Meet men and women from Canada. Where to start?!? ;) ... My friends would describe me as the eternal optimist - fun, always smiling and looking for the bright side of everything (in today's world it can sometimes be quite a challenge!?!) I love trying something new, adventurous or out of the ordinary - whether it's a new restaurant, seeing a band I've never heard of, exploring the hidden gems of the city, state, country or world... or just finding a new challenge (the 160km Penticton 'Axel Merx GranFondo' is next on the agenda...) I have a great career in the medical industry, (however I am also an entrepreneur at heart) originally from Victoria and love the outdoors - cycling, sailing, skiing, golf, tennis... you get the idea. I'm not overly competitive, for me it's more about the journey - participating and having fun! I have a good sense of humour and can be a little quirky sometime (think 'Austin Powers' - don't worry, I know when to hold back!) I'm thoughtful, have a big heart and will always offer a helping hand. Travelling for fun (internationally) has become important to me - there is so much to see, do, taste, smell and experience in the world... it's amazing what you can learn from other people and situations in other parts of the world (it can be very grounding does a great job of putting things in perspective!) My friends and family are important to me, but I know where my priorities are! ;) While I enjoy a night of dancing, I'm fairly laid back and can easily enjoy a quiet night at home, with a good movie, a nice bottle of wine, a home cooked meal (yes, unlike a lot of men, I DO cook!) and some great company.
What am I looking for in a partner? As a friend suggested a while back when I asked her what she was looking for in her next relationship, 'my new best friend'. I couldn't agree more, after all, great relationships are based on a strong friendship... :) You're reasonably active, adventurous, spontaneous, enjoy music and concerts, travelling and trying new things. You enjoy and value spending time together, but also have time for your friends. You are independent, trusting, supportive and like to teach and be taught (all a two way street...) - a partner on every level. You can be both serious and silly - although hopefully more silly than serious... ;) - and enjoy all of life's many challenges. Does any of this sound like you? Don't sit by and let life pass you by... take a chance! I look forward to hearing from you!
