Date women from Canada / British Columbia / Vancouver, 45 year old

Date someone special from Vancouver, Canada. Here are a few things I care about enough to notice (other than delectable fresh figs): the perfect lemon tart, the pattern of clouds in the sky and the migratory birds in the water, the crema on the espresso, the sound of the car door shutting, the homeless person asking for change, the stonework on an old building.
I'm looking for someone with a compatible list of things he cares about enough to notice, someone who's curious, confident (enough), and, of course, considerate. Someone with interests both similar and different -- enough in common to start a conversation, and different enough to keep it going.
Along the more usual lines: I enjoy going for walks in the woods with the dog, or snowshoeing when its winter. I'm getting back into yoga. One of the things I like most about Vancouver is the food -- there are so many options -- high and low, affordable and outrageous, and then there is the abundance of ingredients to cook myself. I like good theatre, movies, live music -- from classical to alternapop to jazz to rocknroll. Just so long as it's good :). I don't much enjoy things like shopping or sitcoms or most TV (though I confess I recently derived untoward pleasure from buying some cheap funky wool socks). I have rediscovered the joy of playing Scrabble. But that might have something to do with having played it recently while watching the sunset over the water (and winning). I like to travel, to places far and wide, and a bit off the beaten path, but not so far off that it's a struggle. I'm contemplating a bike tour of Laos and Cambodia, or maybe one in Kenya and Tanzania. Never been to either place, and would like to go to both.
I like being asked questions and asking them myself. And I tend to answer honestly, and prefer the surprise of an honest answer.

Meet a woman from Vancouver, Canada. Hi you. . .
Firstly, about the pics: I seldom have my photo taken and when I do I seldom think they look like me so finding some to place here has been a bit of a trick. Recently I let my hair change from dark brown to this so in the interest of being current I can't use older pics; it's like if I had recently lost or gained a lot of weight I might struggle to find representative pics. Also, while I enjoy doing many things I do not have pics of me doing said things, aside from these of me at the beach. Please don't be creeped out by these, it's just me relaxed and not draped in a shawl. : )
Next, in the words of Ani Defranco "I am 32 flavours and then some." So how shall I convey to you what is germane about my character?
Well, I am a bit of a nerd; I enjoy reading and talking about books. If you don't read we are not a match. I see Poetry and significance in simple things and like to point it out. I love someone with a quick wit: allusions, plays on words, irony and double-entendre and I am in! Probably right after light in the eyes I am attracted to your sense of humour and wit.
I work with youth so I feel youthful. I stay current with pop culture and just generally what is on the ethos. This includes music. You must enjoy music and it must extend beyond 80s rock please. I love to dance and sing and be silly. When comfortable, you may find me kibitzing with strangers. I try to have a beginner's mind and so am often delighted and surprised.
I am interested in philosophy and spirituality. While I am not a match for a devoutly religious person, I would like a meeting of the spirit as well as the mind, heart and body. I practice yoga and am improved by its ineffable benefits in addition to the physical ones.
Getting out and doing things delights me. I like to walk in my neighbourhood and enjoy the goings on there. I frequently walk along Spanish Banks and Jericho beaches, I am good for a hike or a bike but I am not one to 'do the Grind' frequently trying to get my time down. I am not driven in that kind of way. I'd really rather dance all night and get a work out that way.
"Snuggling in" is what my son and I call an evening in watching something pleasing or puttering around the house in our 'snuggies' aka pjs. My son is hilarious, creative, and just the most amazing person to come into my life. If you have kids that is great if you don't I know you will get a kick out of mine.
Anyway, I hope this gives you a bit of an idea of what I am about. Really people have to meet to know if there is a connection. I'd like to have a walk and a coffee with the right person. The sun has decided to shine. Let's see if it will shine on us.

Date a soulmate from Vancouver, Canada. About me: have a young and strong heart, see the world with smile and curiosity. Sense of humor, passionate and independent make me different. Little shy with stanger.
I live with my son. He is now 15. Soon I'll have more time on work or develop my multi interesting since he needs me less. But whatever things I do, I know I will need a companion. I deserve a good person, my friends always tell me that.
About you: A decent person. Honest, active and caring. Difference of our culture and background will only make it more interesting in a relationship as long as we have the desire to learn from and respect each other.

Meet someone special from Canada. Looking for lust in all the best places....here, there, anywhere....not looking for a life mate or soul mate or relationship....just want a bit of summer fun in the sun or the park or at the drive in...whatever pops up?! :)

Date someone special from British Columbia, Canada. I'm easy going to a point but need someone to spoil me. I'm shy but yet straight forward at times.someone to spend time with and have some closeness, laughs, fun, not worry about having to always go out all the time.

Meet a woman from British Columbia, Canada. My career is very rewarding; I strive for a healthy balance of work and play. I love to learn, laugh and grow; a positive attitude is one of the things I find attractive in a person. The past is simply the past. My friends say IРІР‚в„ўm fun to be with, kind, romantic, sexy and a great listener. IРІР‚в„ўm one that canРІР‚в„ўt wait to get out there and try new things and can also sit back and relax.

Date a soulmate from British Columbia, Canada. We would connect if you appreciate foreign films, (being open to read subtitles would be a good start!), the creativity of live theatre, the freedom of music festivals and can laugh at the absurdness of life. A quick mind and a quick wit is always attractive. I am drawn to people who can see the funny quirks of life without being superficial. I love being outdoors more to appreciate nature than to keep fit (though that's an added bonus!) I'm not a Grouse Grinder but love being outdoors whether hiking, snow shoeing or just admiring the beauty of nature.
My friends describe me as easy going, warm, friendly, and down to earth. A person that can find the humour in the mundane. My bags are packed and my passport close at hand for that spontaneous trip away.
You have an open mind, an interest in travel, other cultures and current affairs, and in life you dream big. Comfortable with coming off the ski hills and changing for a night at the theatre. You've probably taken the path less travelled and when you hit a road block, your instinct always tells you there's a brilliant light at the end of the tunnel...
I enjoy an active social life and blessed to have great friends, but a lazy day now and again, just smellin' the roses with someone special would make life even sweeter...

. I'm new to the area and I'm looking for a man who works hard and knows how to play hard too:-) I need a man who wants to explore this beautiful world with me from urban hikes to road trips and beyond. If you are a passionate man who really likes to enjoy life and and have fun and you like to cook and try new things then what are you waiting for?
My friends would describe me as fun, loyal and adventurous. I have traveled and lived in many places in 2 countries and enjoy both urban and rural areas. I am not at all the party-type of woman and prefer a night out with a small group of friends or that special someone. I've started to visit the Gulf Islands and there is still so much to explore in this city.

. Hi.
To start, my physical attributes…I am pretty and petite, curvaceous, with dark curly hair and hazel eyes. I wear little or no makeup and have a sweet smile and freckles around my nose. I love to laugh so my face and eyes are often lit up and full of life. My style is classic with a contemporary, bohemian flair. I look in my 30s, and more importantly, I am young at heart and open-minded. I am generally attracted to men younger than me who are confident, mature, passionate, worldly, and emotionally intelligent.
I am a human rights lawyer with a fascinating and dynamic career that takes me all over the world. I have lived and traveled in many countries, including some of the poorest (and most dangerous) places on earth. I am privileged to have been exposed to a variety of cultures and to have learned what is truly important in life. I live my life in a deliberate and conscientious way, to make a real difference in the lives of others, and with passion and a quest to learn about culture and human behaviour.
I also have an interest in the arts - world music, theatre, film, and dance. I volunteer with various arts festivals throughout the year. I enjoy exploring creative ideas and discovering new and intriguing places. I thrive on challenging, thought-provoking conversation with open-minded people. I have a witty sense of humour and have dabbled in improv. I also dance salsa and swing. I enjoy all types of socially intimate settings, from playing board games to small dinner parties, and outdoor discovery activities such as biking, boating, hiking, and road trips. It is always more important whom I am with than where I am or what I am doing.
I am a down-to-earth, articulate, assertive woman with a whimsical sense of fun and an unconventional approach to life. I am sexy and sensual and have a healthy attitude toward sex. If your interest has been piqued, please drop me a note or a smile (with photo only please.)
MarLa

. I moved to Vancouver from Calgary almost 2 years ago, and feel fortunate to be living in Vancouver and for my new lifestyle.
I like to stay active and dynamic. I like variety, moderation and need stimulation and growth.
I love to travel. I have done extensive traveling and have also lived/worked in a number of countries . I am interested in history, culture, arts, design, music, dancing, yoga, spirituality, nature, hikes, beaches, sunshine, and the excitement of a new place/smell/scenery. I like finer things in life and also cherish simple things in life.
I have a social side and also enjoy time alone...I'm independent, positive, patient, loyal, affectionate, easy going, with a strong sense of self, family, and values.
I believe in becoming the best i can and hence have a perfectionist side that does not settle nor compromise with the bigger stuff!! I am fairly organized but not rigid.
I'm looking for a balanced and healthy (mind and body) partner who has passion for life with some basis in spirituality, who is open to life and all it's possibilities.
Someone with a strong sense of self and a good sense of humor, who is intelligent, mature, fun, young energy, optimistic about life and successful in his own world.

. ME: I'm fortunate to have a challenging professional job that I enjoy (although I'd like to work fewer hours). I'm not a parent but believe parenting is the most important job in the world. There's a time for lazing about, but I'm not truly myself unless I stay reasonably active (bootcamp, etc.). I like to try something new every year (dragon boating). I'm quick to laugh at myself and if you can laugh at yourself, too, then we'd have at least one thing in common. Travel is a passion of mine (last trip: Vietnam), and although I've travelled the globe alone, I much prefer travelling with a loving partner. Speaking of which, I find manly hands oh-so sexy and although I'm all business at work, I know how to have fun too. I'm loyal, affectionate but definitely not clingy. And, last but not least, I'm an optimist ... which is why I'm here. Are you?
YOU: You are, well, you. You're comfortable in your own skin and you don't try to be someone other than yourself. You're open-minded and enjoy challenging yourself, learning and trying new things. You are local and live in the Vancouver area. You are kind and confident. You can enjoy a foreign film and you may be a Canucks fan, but can live with the knowledge that I don't follow hockey! You stay reasonably active and healthy. You may or may not be a parent. You enjoy travel that extends beyond resorts (although, they do have their place). You are, well, I hope, you're here, too!

. im looking for a loyal and devoted soulmate to share my life with. I like a cute honest guy , can be trusted and a family man.
my friends describe me as a cheerful and home loving person.I believe that good things will happen
if you do the same things.

. Looking for someone who shares my curiosity, sense of adventure, passion for life and love of learning. Can laugh at themselves, is energetic and enjoys a healthy lifestyle.
I enjoy the company of those who can see humor in everyday situations; walking in the rain, sunrise, and having a good conversation.
I am a home owner and have a great career that I enjoy. Very down-to-earth, easygoing, fun loving, a little shy, spontaneous, and always up for a good adventure. Independent and self sufficient, not needy or high maintenance. I love to garden and grow food. I have an extreme passion for plants, if I lived in the tropics I would have my garden of eden. I am an early riser, wake up happy and do not require caffeine to get me going.
In the spring/summer I can be found nightly doing outdoor activities; beach volleyball , ultimate, hiking, in my kayak or on a paddle board.
Reading is my choice of relaxation time instead of watching TV but do make time for documentaries and movies.
I believe a sunset is more amazing, the day richer, the view grander, the moment better when shared.
Love to cook...and it's always more fun sharing the kitchen.
Never say no to travel and prefer warm locations, however would rather explore the country or play on the beach then lay by the pool.
I lead an active and healthy lifestyle. Enjoy the outdoors and have a love for nature and wildlife.
If you are independent, try to be healthy and fit, enjoy your own company, love the outdoors and are comfortable with who you are we will get along well. I am a very happy person for the most part but have an emptiness that bothers me on weekends and nights.
