Date men from Canada / British Columbia / Vancouver, 54 year old

Date a man from British Columbia, Canada. About me? Hmmm...well,I am gracious and grace-filled...definitely a result of my faith I would say. I'd also share that I'm a honest, content, positive, who can hold my own and joke with the best of them. I'm definitely a great friend and comfortable in his own skin.I very much enjoy entertaining, as well as dining out, dancing and socializing with the most amazing friends (what a gift!) and love meeting new people. The other side of the coin is that I find immense peace in the quiet of my home, in stillness, reading, sipping a glass of really dry red wine, or watching documentaries or movies.
I still see the world with awe and wonder...with alot of wisdom thrown in. I wake up every day, happy and grateful for another day of just being. I have a passion for music, a great latte and on occasion an amazing glass of red wine. I'm known to at a last minute's notice book a flight… north, south, east or west. Spontaneity...nothing better! Honestly, I really am pretty simple and down to earth. Love to laugh, particularly at myself and my imperfections...yes, I am perfectly imperfect...so if you're looking for perfect, I'm probably not the one for you.
I'm here to meet my friend...
I am fortunate enough to know a couple who hold hands literally everyday, have meaningful conversations, smile and whisper into each others ear how lucky they are to be together. After 30 yrs, their second marriage,both are in their 80's.The wife has confided to me that they have never argued, that she is so in love with her husband and that she is the luckiest woman alive...how she adores him and truth is he equally adores her. They behave as if they were young teens...How I have watched this couple with awe and appreciation. Is this type of relationship still possible? What a blessing to have this type of friendship. Love, trust, equal admiration and respect for each other. Some day...
I hope to someday meet a woman who can appreciate the same things noted above...as well as be just that, a woman. A woman who appreciates the daily gifts of good experiences, as well as the challenging ones life offers. Someone who is confident, articulate, communicate with honesty, think positively, along with appreciating the inherent goodness in people, and most importantly the tentative nature of things...aka life. As a friend,you should have a sense of humor, be witty, intelligent, wise and recognize the importance of romance, mutual chemistry and passion...an absolute must for me. Oh yes… and be perfectly imperfect...like me and did I already mention passionate???
I feel that two people should have enough in common to co-exist but enough differences to be individuals and keep it interesting.
I am a work in progress. Enough said wouldn't you say?
Here are a few Quotes I LOVE:
"“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” ( SO HOPING 4 THAT)
"We are most alive when we're in love." John Updike (I BELIEVE WANTING TO BE IN LOVE IS ABSOLUTELY INNATE IN ALL OF US)
"Laughter is part of the human survival kit." David Nathan (IT IS EXTREMELY CRUCIAL TO GET THROUGH IT ALL GRACEFULLY IN MY OPINION :) )
"It's beauty that captures your attention; personality which captures your heart." (**MY ACE IN THE HOLE**)

Meet a soulmate from British Columbia, Canada. I am a caring and compassionate person who believes that the foundation of a relationship is built on trust, honestly and faithfulness. By nature I am a social person; I love to be with people and enjoy interacting with them on a daily bases. Although I believe that a man's responsibility is to protect and provide for his family, it is the woman who is the heart and soul of it. Consequently, I respect and honor women and appreciate them for what they are to the family. I have a strong moral character and make a daily effort to be a better man by being at peace with myself and by making a positive contribution to the people around me. I don't fight or argue because anger never solves anythings, but I would defend and protect my family and the woman I love, I respect and understand the value of life. Life is precious and so I make a conscience effort to enjoy each and every day. I am athletic, so I like doing anything that connects to people and nature. Such as, sailing, mountaineering and competitive sports. A perfect day for me would be to have romantic dinner and loving conversation with the woman I love followed by a peaceful walk along a moonlight beach. I am a devoted and serious man looking for a special woman who shares and understands my values, hopes and dreams.
The strength of a successful relationship comes from being honest and faithful to the person you love. It takes compassion and understanding to gain the trust of a person, so it is important to me that I find a woman with such traits. I appreciate beauty in a woman, but I don't judge a relationship by it. It is more important to me that she be compassionate with people, loving in her actions, and faithful and loyal in her behavior. I respect and value a woman who is sensitive, considerate and kind

Date single man from British Columbia, Canada. Life along the seawall is good and getting better.
I was born and raised in a small town and still retain the values that are learned and experienced with that fortunate style of upbringing. My friends, clients and acquaintances all know this. Now you know too.
Witty, cheeky, quick-minded man looking for a cerebral match who takes care of her body and mind. A silly streak can be a bonus, when used appropriately. Hopefully you understand the demands of a sales related profession where I might have to work late to tie up an offer one night and then be free to take off for a holiday on short notice.
I am cautious about meeting someone that is obsessed or excessive about dancing, travel, skiing, boot camp, yoga or some other current fad. Honestly, it seems to be all some of you talk about or look for in a partner. Moderation is a better fit for me and I hope you can agree. Of course it's nice to do the aforementioned, however (again) a more moderate approach is what would fit well with my temperament. I'm still quite athletic and do enjoy participating in activities.
My musical tastes are quite varied, rather than pinning it down to what is in my player or my mind right now.
I do have a creative, somewhat artsy side that I was able to tap into on a regular basis. I'm quite handy with years in a skilled trade background, as well as having professional sales experience and director duties many times over. I really enjoy doing renovations, building, fixing, designing, troubleshooting as well as real estate. Your handyman awaits your needs.
The past has included participation in many sports, one at a national level and some extreme sports. The penchant for high level risk has tapered off though. I'd rather do something with you.
A really good fit is what I aspire to find, as a perfect fit is something I looked for before life gave me a reality lesson.
Meeting for the first time could be something we can walk to and talk along the way, leaving the cars at home if possible. Bonus points if you include dessert as part of Canada's Food Guide. You can bring pictures of your cat if you want.
Remember this: Balance is having a cookie in both hands.

Meet someone special from British Columbia, Canada. I am light-hearted, playful man with an adventurous streak and a quiet gentle nature. I am insatiably curious and thoroughly enjoy exploring and trying new activities. While I enjoy the finer things, I value experiences over material possessions and am most often delighted by simple pleasures. Small things make me happy.
As an active professional who travels, I seek to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Fitness is very important to me and I exercise frequently and often intensely. I alter my exercise with the seasons favouring cycling and water sports in the summer with Nordic skiing, spinning and the gym in the winter. Flying, learning to sail, and long rides in prep for the Grand Fondo are a few of this summer’s planned activities which will be balanced with adventures with my daughters and BBQs with friends. I am hoping to spend more weekends this year tripping to Washington, the interior, Whistler and the Island. I also have my eye on some longer excursions further afield but for that I need a traveling companion.
I am a patron of the arts, but alas, not a performer. My tastes in music are broad and I am equally at home in a coffee bar or at the VSO. These days, CBC Radio 2 is my constant companion. I have season’s tickets to the VSO and the Vancouver Playhouse (before it went under) and enjoy picking up some live music at the pub, catching the latest on the big screen (5th Avenue is my style) or taking in the Bard. The arts always go better with a meal, a glass or two of wine, and good friend.
I am attracted to women who are independent and secure in themselves, adventurous, affectionate, with a broad range of tastes and a diversity of interests. To catch my attention, you are likely to be a professional, educated, highly active and looking to share life's adventures. I appreciate the spiritual, intuitive and caring nature of women and long for a more intimate connection.
When I get to know you, I can be a bit of a teaser, very playful and just a touch competitive (cribbage players beware!). Through all of this, I’ll take great pleasure in doing little things for you and being thanked with a smile, gentle touch or hug. I both give and receive affection easily. xoxo – isn't everything easier on the internet? ;)
At this time, I am simply looking for friendship, companionship and someone to explore life's pleasures with... ... a spark, good chemistry and intrigue could take us further.

Date a man from Canada. Loyal, enthusiastic and fun. Always positive and looking at the bright side. I like being self-sufficient and busy, but also having a partner to unwind with and talk and share. I am not looking for a spouse - I like my space and having some alone time on a regular basis. I am interested in everything, and love to read and chat. The most important thing in my life is the time I have with my daughters, and I understand the same in others. Being active is critical for me - I love to get out and grab life and shake it a bit. I'd rather ski, bike or do the Grouse Grind than watch TV, but also like the odd movie or good show on the tube. Being physical and intimate are important as are good friends, good wine and good food.

Meet a soulmate from Canada. I find this part a bit hard as I always had problems describing myself without falling into the trap of judging myself: it's very easy to confuse the two .
I am a very caring, warm and passionate man, very just and very fair who believes in traditional values, love, honesty and mutual respect. I never married and that was out of choice, because i have never found the right match but I do believe in good, solid, strong relationship, relationships born out of friendship, understanding and respect and that is another reason why I'm on here.
Experienced, well read and well traveled I love to cook, dance, love to engage in lengthy conversations ( wines and life in general my favorite topics ), I live a healthy lifestyle although I work too much , I exercise regularly, I am very thankful for being in such good health. I like to dress well and keep myself well groomed I have a high sense of hygiene and I certainly look for this same trait in the person I'm looking for I am very happy with who I am and what I have accomplished so far in life .
I love sunny days at the beach, hikes in the wilderness, picnics in the park, comfortable shoes, beautiful smiles and warm eyes ( eyes that express a lot of tenderness), happy glances and kind words, candlelight dinners and soft touches , I love to touch and be touched,love to cuddle love to kiss and a lot of tenderness as I'm a very affectionate man... don't like arrogant or rude people ( mean people suck !!!) or people that are cruel to animals ( which along with children is what I love most in my life ), don't like cold pasta, uncooked chicken, pizza without anchovies. or a cloudy day at the beach..:)
What I look for in my partner is ladylike characteristics ( femininity ,class, style and elegance ),affection, passion, understanding with a hint of mischiviousness, good sense of humor and a lady that looks after herself, someone who reflects more or less my own personality ( or close compatibility )....there's a lot more to say but I'm tired of typing, I like to leave the rest to a later date :)...you want to know more just ask.
Thank you for taking the time to read all this and good luck with your search!

Meet someone special from Vancouver, Canada. I am easy going and like to be spontaneous with the right person. I travel a lot and that makes my social life difficult. So relationships are not in the cards but meet the right person we will have a great time. Really it does not matter were you are a park bench or a sandy beach as long as its with the right person we will both have smiles.

Looking for companionship with same type of person who is buzzz were we can connect and enjoy our time together and be in our own zone.

. Its a new year, so my attitude is new year, new life, new attitudes. I've been told that I have a Robin Williams kind of humor. I'm well read and wanting to be well travelled. I normally vacation in May or September, when all the kids are back in school. Interests include Cycling, Cooking (I like to improvise),Writing. Pastimes include window wishing when I can find that right woman, would that be you?Be relatively assertive, with a quick smile. Someone who can make me sit up and pay attention to her. I know I can be stubborn but I can practice! Hair color is not a big deal. If you can bring your appetite and willingness to learn that helps immensely. A partial interest in Sci-Fi or mysteries and some one who likes dogs would be nice. I'm not at the age where a womans body has to look like a movie star, just a star would be fine.

. I'm not a complicated person. I`m romantic, I love to smiles, laugh and try not to take myself too seriously. I love doing anything from one tank trips, to going to museums, to going bowling. I also love anything that is around water---walking on the beach and watching the waves crash against the shore is very relaxing and fun to me. Actually almost anything is enjoyable if you're with a friend to share the experience.
I want a honest loving partner for a long term relationship.I want someone who is nice, caring, funny, good natured, big hearted, opinionated, trust worthy and loyal. I want someone who is going to treat me with the same level and respect that I show them. I want to be a priority in someone's life and not an afterthought. Someone I can share my secrets, thoughts, dreams and intimate moments with. Affection is VERY important. I love hand holding, hugs, snuggling and cuddling, and most of all KISSING!!!
I am sure there is more but what fun would it be to tell it all here? If you want to know something else just ask, if not...have a great day!
