Date a soulmate from Vancouver, Canada. This is me....
I work 9-5, but some say i live like I'm semi-retired - I have no kids. My life is simple, organized and under control. I have been married, have loved and lost and still enjoyed the ride! I keep the drama out and the passion and love in. I have freedom to do mostly as i like - as long as it is in the economy seats. Enjoy weekends away, dinners in and out, socially presentable and looks that won't scare your dog. house trained, mother approved, enjoy to cook. I am a man who likes to kiss slowly, forgive quickly, laugh easily, love fully and try to embrace all that life has to offer. I enjoy many things but for me it is more about the company then the event or place. Travel is my 2nd passion. My 1st is my partner to treat as my priority, to respect and love deeply to inspire and be inspired by... a women that makes me want rush to be where-ever she is!
Is this you ?
UPDATE July 20, 2012 - I've meet some wonderful people on here, some id liked see more, and they didn't, some they wanted more, and I couldnt give more.
As mentioned above I don't have kids, not by my conscience choosing but kids just never happened. I don't hate or dislike kids I just feel at 44 years I'm past the age to make kids my priority. If your kids are still your only priority we probably will not match, if you childeren are grow and you have time for youself and not needing every moment of every day to be super mom...we may. I do prefer a partner with no kids, just because that's what I am.
I a little lost to the process or logic at times here, I'm am a stranger as you are to me, we know little to nothing about each other and both generally are looking at the pictures first then read the profile... If you reading this then.... WINK, I'm not a bad boy nor a nice guy. I'm just a guy looking for someone "special to me" to share time with, not a one night stand or a quick hook-up, I'm also not looking to be your companion for dinner or here to stroke your ego that your beautiful and wanted. I'm not married and not a serial dater.
If a slip in grammar or spelling mistake is enough to make me not a match,, if I don't respond in 23 mins and this makes you feel insecure, if you can't respond to my email with in 7 days, if your to busy to actually date someone, if your ideal man is found in 50 shades of gray, If your over 5' 9 sorry (not your fault, but neither is my face mine) if your pictures don't look like you do, if you need to see my financials statments, please move on.
It maybe sounds I'm bitter, but I'm not, I'm just stating how I feel. I'm just human! I still feel the effort is worth it for the reward, but it up to each of us to make the reward we offer someone seem worth wanting. UPDATE END.
I am looking for someone to share life with, not just the exciting and amazing moments but the day-to-day life that takes 70% to 85% of our time, maybe a little crazy, are you into traveling, a little home entertainment with friends, weekends away.
Someone that values trust and respect as key features in any relationship. Someone that has wants/needs and gives back at the same level. You can make me smile when i think of you. You can be passionate and spontaneous. You can love deeply and be deeply loved. You don't live in the past. You expect the best of the future. You can smile and laugh at life, even when rain soaked changing a tire on the way to a wedding. You are mostly bubbly and light. You never take me too seriously and could make me laugh in case I took you too seriously. You see in me the features that i have not only the ones that i do not have. You know how to change your mind at the last moment and make it seem the most sensible thing in the world. You show your love in your actions and adore me despite all my imperfections. You have your own thoughts and ideas but they are not the only thoughts you can

Meet someone special from Vancouver, Canada. Would like to meet an honest and straightforward lady who is not fearful of expressing herself and is compassionate. I'd like to be able to "glow" when I'm with her. I learned long ago that beauty is part of the soul and not the body.

Date single man from British Columbia, Canada. I am a latin guy kind of new in Vancouver, trying to find someone to share time and the best of my time. I like sports like running, squash, doing my beggingings in Yoga and mainly soccer. Out of the field I like travelling, either a small car drive in the Fraser Valley o oversease like Europe.

Meet people from British Columbia, Canada. I am a kind (as I am often told), loyal, financially and emotionally stable person who is looking for a partner that likes to smile, is kind and curious, and has a positive attitude towards life; a partner who wants to share the joy of raising a family. Below are a few words to describe what is important to me and what makes me happy.
Firstly, I cherish and love my family and friends. I have a brother and sister with whom I am very close. They have made me a proud uncle to 6 nieces and nephews. I also have several close friends who provide me with incredible support. Though I currently do not have any pets, I enjoy their company, especially dogs and cats.
I am curious about this world. I enjoy life by trying new things, travelling to different places, learning/discovering something new, connecting with people and their cultures, reading a good book, watching a thought provoking movie/documentary, engaging in a stimulating conversation....etc.
I was born with a strong work ethic. I have worked hard for many years and feel lucky to have my current career. After achieving a level of success, I now pursue and enjoy more balance.
Smiling and laughing is so important for me. I live with the glass half full and accept that life is a journey of ups and downs. Whenever I can, I try to find the humour in life and try to enjoy even the simplest of things.
I like to live healthy. I am not a sports-junkie but I do like the way my body feels with regular exercise. I also like getting out to enjoy what Vancouver and BC has to offer. That could be as simple as walking Kit’s beach, hiking Cypress Mtn., amateur kayaking in Deep Cove, swimming in Alice Lake etc.... I also enjoy experimenting in the kitchen with new healthy recipes. ....Okay, ....sometimes I will enjoy frying my food such as fried chicken and apple fritters. I also have a weakness for red wine, a cold Stella and quality dark chocolate as well as carrot cake and pumpkin pie.
I care about people and the world we live in. I also care about living my life with purpose and integrity. I am also a pretty good recycler.
One final thought I would like to share. Several years ago I read a poem by an aging Nadine Stair regarding the power of “moments” that has stuck with me. Here is a couple of sentences: " .... Oh I have had my moments. If I had to do it over again, I'd have more of them. In fact, I'd try to have nothing else -just moments, one after another...."
If you share a connection with some of the words above, I would enjoy hearing from you.
:-)

Date a soulmate from British Columbia, Canada. Fit and fun (ok, I'll prove it later ;) I'm a very passionate guy driven by strong integrity and morals where I'm looking for a serious and fun life-time partner! One part wild wouldn't hurt! :) Ok, I mean this in a good way....I'm looking for someone who is genuinely happy and knows how to have a good time.
Beware: I have the energy and drive of a 20 something man :) However, I would say i'm very well balanced. I work very hard and do well finanicially; play hard with my friends and like adventerous outtings but chilling is great too; love staying fit; staying close to my family is very important too. Ok, I like to kid around a lot too so hopefully you appreciate humour :)
I'm game for anything as long as it's not always TV! Mind you, I do like comedies and movies. Just being outside and soaking up Vancouver is nice. Nice dinners, walks on the beach, week-end getaways, live theatre, concerts, bbq's, drinks on a patio, winery and many other activities are great.
Lived in Vancouver all my life. Love a huge mix of tunes. Have worked most my career in the computer software industry in business development. Fortunate to have many solid friends...many in their early 30's (guys and girls). I love food (do my own cooking) but have to admit I'm pretty healthy. Never married as I've never found that 'perfect' girl....ok, not looking for perfect but a great match would be cool ;)
My brother has 4 awesome kids with the same great wife (they live here as well). He inspires me!
Most online dating seems to be about the quick pickup. I'm not here to play games. Problem is, it seems most are focused on their own self interests and never learn to compromise. I think it's all about balance, fun, love and mutual respect.

Meet men and women from British Columbia, Canada. I believe that life is for living, and plan to live it as much as I can. I value my friends deeply, and would do anything for them. I recently moved to Vancouver from the UK to take a rare opportunity to spread my wings and pursue a dream of living in Canada. I truly believe that you feel a spark with the right person, whether that starts with common interests or beliefs, it has to be there. I'm often described as a bit of an oddball as I have always followed my own path, although realised early on that I would have to do this within the confines of the society I was raised in. I found that being judged in everything I did (very English attitude) became increasingly untenable so decided to come to Canada where I have found a much more inclusive attitude towards others. I enjoy being social and find meeting new people hugely rewarding even if the first time is a little uncomfortable (hey, I'm English. We have to suffer it's a law!) I have varied music tastes, but do tend towards electronica and chilled music, with a bit of reggae/SKA/blues/jazz throwing in for good measure. I'm getting back in touch with my spiritual side, although I don't see myself as a mainstream religious person. I love stand-up comedy and woefully, have only managed one show since getting here in March. I plan to see more as the comedians here are awesome! So that's some of me, there's more but it'd be a shame to not leave anything else to talk about!

Date a man from British Columbia, Canada. Hi, my name is Tim.
Things have been really hectic, but slowly getting back to normal. I was in Colorado for Christmas, Bellingham, WA to bring in the new year, and now I live in Kitsilano and love my new career, new city, and new lifestyle. It's awesome!

I am am a single dad of two children; my daughter is 15 and my son is 12. They are the most important people in my life. If you have kids, you will understand. I am down to earth, laid back, and I work hard but enjoy my life away from work. I'm pretty active, I'm active almost every day, eat healthy (in moderation) and take care of myself and my kids. I do appreciate balance, family, friends, and my own personal time. I'm a good communicator and listener, honest, affectionate, and I share empathy with others every single day.
I am looking for a best friend that enjoys sporting events or concerts, going on a weekend getaways or longer trips, going to the beach or the mountains, enjoying a patio at sunset; who wants to hang out and work on developing a friendship first. I wear my heart on my sleeve, and I will have your back. Let's create new adventures and memories together.
Being a great Dad takes up a lot of my time, but I do have time left over to share with a special woman. If you have children, that's great. I understand and respect what you go through on a daily basis. I'm looking for someone who knows how to be a true friend. I'm looking for someone who knows they are ready for a relationship, but they are not in a hurry and they refuse to settle just to be in one. I'm not perfect, far from it. I don't expect you to be perfect either.
I am employed by Whole Foods Market (the old Capers). I'm extremely lucky, I love the company I work for and the people I work with. Not many people can honestly say that. I am passionate about food, eating healthy and staying fit, ethnic foods, and cooking as well. I am really excited to explore this beautiful area. I also feel it's important to give back to those less fortunate than ourselves. I teach my kids to appreciate what we do have, not long for what we don't. It's a tough lesson. I am trianing to ride in the BC Ride to Conquer Cancer in June -of 2013, its a two day ride from Vancouver to Seattle that benefits Cancer research. I'm volunteering for the event this year.
If you are an attractive, easy going, fun loving woman who has a great sense of humor, and enjoys a wide variety of interests please drop me a message. 2012 has been an amazing year for me so far, hopefully for you too! Talk to you soon.

Meet someone special from British Columbia, Canada. I would respond to the way in describing your self as follow.
Happiness is the greatest paradox in nature, It can grow in any soil, Live under any conditions. It defies environment. It comes from within; it is the revelation of the depths of the inner life and heat proclaim the sun from which they radiate. Happiness consists not of having, but of being; not of possessing, but of enjoying. A martyr at the stake may have happiness that a king on his throne might envy. Man is the creator of his own happiness: It is the aroma of a life lived in harmony with ideals. For what a human being has, he may be dependent on others; what he is, rests with him alone. Happiness is the soul's joy in the possession of the intangible. It is the warm glow of heart at peace with it self.
I would like to be a tear deep in your eyes caressing your cheeks and diying on your lips.
