Date men and women from Canada / British Columbia / Vancouver, 52 year old - page 6

Date a woman from Canada. Me? I'm passionate about (not in any particular order):
- My puppy - she's five now but very much a pup at heart - like me :o)
- Turtleneck sweaters;
- Decaf americano (I know -- why bother -- I actually like coffee);
- Palm trees...would love to live in a place with lots of palm trees one day;
- My friends;
- My new life as a retail business owner/entrepreneur. Can I just say this? I LOVE my boss; she's awesome :o)
- Children - even though I chose not to have any;
- Jazz music - if you know KPLU/KKJZ then you are definitely my kind of man! (Why doesn't YVR have a jazz station?)
- Travel, travel, travel (even though I can't get away these days);
- Weekend getaways;
- The playoffs - most but not all sports;
- Candlelight;
- Public displays of affection;
- Killer smiles and white, flossed teeth;
- A man in a suit;
- A man that cooks (I really loathe cooking for one);
- Salt and pepper hair!
- The sound of an acoustic guitar;
- Touch;
- Swimming, walking, being outside, being inside
- Subtleness;
- Intelligence;
- Kindness;
- Laughing ... a lot!
Deal Breakers:
- Bad spelling;
- Ending sentences in "eh";
- Being called a guy, as in ... "can I get *you guys* anything" ... I'm changing the world one waiter at a time :o)
- Smoking;
- Dishonesty;
- Jealousy;
- Camping! Please don't make me go camping!
More about me ...
- I'm 5'8" tall;
- Blonde;
- Considered attractive by my male friends (and women too -- not that there's anything wrong with that);
- Intelligent;
- Independent;
- Inquisitive;
- Fun and almost fearless.
- Far deeper than bullet points on a page -- bullets merely represent my preference for some things minimal.
One of my fave movie scenes:
EXT. FRONT SEAT OF CAR - NIGHT
JANE and ADAM talking on the way home from a party.
JANE
Wow, fun is not overrated, is it?
ADAM
You know what's great?
JANE
What?
ADAM
How much I like you.
JANE
Thank you. I really like you a lot too. Even
though, oh, you didn't say "a lot".
ADAM
I was thinking it.
JANE
So I'm not too old for you?
ADAM
How can you be too old for me when
I'm older than you?
JANE
I just figured that the women you're fixed
up with are thirty five or...
ADAM
Jane, age is one of my favourite things about you.
I'm just going to put this out into the universe---ultimately, I'd love to live in YVR (Vancouver) six months of the year and somewhere coastal (in California perhaps) for the other six months of the year. I recently opened a retail business (which, I'm telling you is not for the faint of heart) and when I can get it to a point where it can be self sufficient, then how good would that be?

Doing the Vancouver thing and 14 days a year vacation is just fine with me. I am 30 years here and still discover new places.

Date people from Canada. This subscription is running out and it's likely a good thing. Thank you, dear gentlemen, for your gracious words. These glimpses into another's life are moving and deeply humbling to me. I've been reminded that men and women are different for all the right reasons, and ultimately? not so very different at all. We all pursue happiness, each in our own way.
Thank you -- enjoy your summer, and may you find your heart's desire.
:o)
well-situated in every sense, I'm delighted with the way my version of the universe unfolds. And I'd really enjoy the company of one good man. Like me, you might be gently ambitious and excited about your career (or your retirement), deeply interested in people (though not necessarily extroverted), and live in integrity as a matter of principle.
I crave a connection with a man in whom I'm well met. Something that looks like this... we can have a conversation across the room with a look, a nod that speaks to something we both know, and make a decision -- all of this without words, all of this from deep honesty, open communication, and a real interest in knowing each other.
Raised in a european household, I was influenced by world beats in my values, food, music, reading, and spiritual understanding. This is a beautiful world and I like to engage it, more than observe it. I thrive in the company of someone who socially and intellectually stimulates me, and seeks out opportunities for us to explore together. Quiet alone time is important to reboot; quiet time spent with my partner = the finest gift of all.
Laughter, good friends, time outside, beautiful red wines, my dog, literature, music, travel -- all factor large in my days. You?

Meet men and women from British Columbia, Canada. I am an educated women who is physically active (tennis, volleyball, skiing, biking), who appreciates the arts, loves reading, listening to music (classical, jazz, rock), dancing and spending time with friends.
I have many sources of enjoyment in my life: my son, my friends; music and dance; my job (92% of the time :); working in a team; getting better, even marginally, at something; trying, and sometimes succeeding, to be a compassionate listener; experiencing (rare) moments of 'voluntary simplicity'.
I am a big movie fan, so I won't resist the temptation to mention here some of my favorites. I prefer low-key, unassuming films but enjoy watching all kinds of movies in a variety of genres: comedy and especially 'seriously funny' movies (Groundhog Day, Little Miss Sunshine, Midnight in Paris), animation (Monsters Inc, The Nightmare Before Christmas), adventure (the Indiana Jones and the Bourne movies), social drama (Half-Nelson, About Schmidt, The Kid with a Bike). I can't watch very violent movies, though I recognize some can have artistic merits.
I love reading both fiction and non-fiction. Some of my favorite authors are - to name just a few - Faulkner, William Golding, John Le Carre and Richard Dawkins. I skim regularly through The Vancouver Sun, Georgia Straight, Scientific American, edge org and a few other online sources of news and commentary.
I would like to meet someone with a nice smile, roughly my age, university educated, physically and intellectually active, easy going and good-hearted, someone who is self-assured but who can also change his mind for the good reasons.

Do you like bike rides in the city? Strolling through a farmers' market in the summer? Sharing a good meal & good conversation over a glass of wine? Do you prefer to live simply? Well, then maybe we have something in common.
I live life in a quieter key. I like to read and ponder, but I also like dinner parties, good conversation, hiking, live music & dancing. Balance is important to me, and I like to laugh and find joy in simple things. I exercise regularly & stay active -- some yoga & pilates, etc. and, lately, lots of cycling to work and around town. I've found cycling to be a kind of moving meditation, and it it has given me a new sense of appreciation for the city I live in.
My teenage son is with me half the time and he's a big priority in my life. I live in a housing co-operative, and value the sense of community. I also value connections to dear friends, and tend towards a healthy diet, organic foods, and natural alternatives. I would like to find someone special to walk and hike with, hear live music, see a film, dance, share a meal, talk over tea, and more. I hope that you're fit and active; that you care about social justice issues; that you're curious intellectually, spiritually, and emotionally. If you enjoy the sensual side of life too -- a wonderful meal, a beautiful sky, good music -- then let's talk.

Meet a soulmate from British Columbia, Canada. Hmmm... Fun, articulate and outgoing.
My ideal match would be someone with whom I can laugh, enjoy and share experience. Conversation about business, hobbies, travel and bad golf games..
Work is interesting, enjoyable and flexible. I like "dress up" corporate events, quiet dinners out, as well as casual evenings in jeans and bare feet. Comfortable and capable. I can find interesting things to discuss with anyone. Always the best way to learn stuff!
Not necessary to be joined at the hip, although that can be fun. I am outgoing, not randomly flirty, and my date should be confident enough to understand the obvious difference. I have had long relationships. No outstanding drama or angst. In the last three years I have been single or dating non-locally which has its challenges. I am often out with friends downtown, but dinner with couples, bars and clubs are not ideal for meeting interesting dates. Time to see if there are possibilities in Vancouver..
I have three children (17, 22, 23) of whom I am very proud. They are funny, bright and independent. My 17 year old lives with me half-time. The other two live on their own.
I am a lover of warm water and hot weather. Sailing in the Caribbean (I'm a certified skipper for bareboat charters) has been a passion since I learned to sail. No shoes, windblown hair, bikini, white t-shirt. What more do you need? Good company and grog! Well ok cold white wine or bubbly! I have travelled and want more.
I enjoy fashion, architecture and design. Not obsessed, just enjoy.
Traits that I find attactive in men are humour, intelligence and focus! I like to believe that I share these characteristics. Being gracious with people in stressful situations is important to me.
So tell me about you and maybe meet for coffee or a drink? Winks don't work! I look forward to hearing from you.

An affectionate romantic that is single by choice, I tend to be selective, and appreciate those who are the same. I know what I have to offer the right man.
You are a tall, sexy, discriminating gentleman with a devilish side, and varied or unique interests. You have an active imagination, a curiosity about life in general and enjoy the finer things in life. You also value a good relationship with family and friends!
Looking for someone to have fun with, to have intellectual conversation about current events and politics, enjoy some laughs, share a great meal and/or an excellent bottle of full bodied, oaky, red wine.
