Date women from Canada / British Columbia / Vancouver, 49 year old

Date someone special from Vancouver, Canada. Hi
My 'site name' reflects my views/frustration on sign up and trying to get a password procedure struggles I had... not a reflection on how I see myself - or online dating sites for that matter. However, it is one which I can remember!
The attributes my friends describe me as include witty, smart, kind, trustworthy, and honest. They also say I work too much...
I am looking to achieve more balance in my life between work and non work and to finding a partner to share that balance (the non work part) with.
In the non-work part, I like to hang out, visit, read, cycle, golf (I can only get better!) the performing arts, travel, hiking and am open to suggestions.

Meet a soulmate from Vancouver, Canada. I like smile. I am happy, sincere, healthy, affectionate (I am told) and easy going. Looking for someone with the same characters plus loyal , responsible and humous....I am much younger than my age in and out.
I put family and loved ones first. Peace, Joy, and harmony are the most important elements I love to have in my family and among my friends. I like travel , arobic, dance... I love to have someone with the same interst and have fun together.
Are you this lucky guy? We will bring love and joy to each other!

Date a woman from Vancouver, Canada. "Girly girl" with an edge...it's true first impressions say a lot, but for most of us it's the layers that are worth listening to!
So...just so the first impressions don't get in the way too much, I'll fill you in on some of the things that are obvious and some that don't show up immediately.
I love stillettos...but I'm every bit as happy barefoot on a sandy beach, or going for walk through the forest or around the seawall
I love fashion...but not to the point that I'd ever spend $2,000 on a handbag or something crazy like that!
I love dining out, great food, great atmosphere etc...but I love to cook, bake and entertain and create that at home for my friends,my daughter etc and sometimes... I really love a hotdog with lots of mustard and hot peppers.
I love the arts, theater, musicals etc...but watching a sunset, taking photos at a botanical garden, or people watching at a little coffee shop makes my heart equally happy.
I love to travel and want to see everything...but zipping down the highway to Tofino for the weekend and spending the afternoon at the hotsprings with someone you're crazy about couldn't be more fun.
I'm not an athlete (sad, but true)...but I've tried almost everything...and with a bit of encouragement and someone alongside, I'd probably try most things again!
I can be a bit of a baby(there's that girly girl thing again!), but I love adrenaline...I've jumped out of an airplane, taken flying lessons, been on racetracks, love cars, and have some pretty funny stories about it all!
I do love a bit of pampering...but I'm the girl that's on a ladder scraping, sanding, painting and trying to figure out how to install my own light fixture. I have guy friends that borrow my tools! Yup, true story! :)
I can be pretty serious about business and tend to take on too much...but I'd get that in order in no time if it meant spending time with a really great guy!
Apparently I look "high maintenance"...but I've been maintaining myself and my daughter on my own for the past 25 years...so, clearly not that high maintenance! ;)
Sooo...that's more than enough about me, but there are a still a few misconceptions about what I might be looking for from you.
You don't have to be wealthy...but I do need a guy that knows how to take care of himself, and wants to take care of the people he loves in the best way he can.
You don't have to be model handsome...but you do need to be a guy that cares about his appearance, is well groomed, in decent shape, gets that it's 2012 not 1980 and will dress up occasionally because you know I think it's sexy!
You don't have to be a brain surgeon or a rocket scientist...but you can carry a conversation about something other than sports and fishing.
You don't need to have a flashy car...I broke up with a guy that bought a Lamborghini...it was more than I could cope with, maybe he was more(or less) than I could cope with but the car was the nail in the coffin! I have a nice car of my own...and if cars aren't your deal and a weekend in Whistler is on our list of things to do... we can take mine! :)
You do need to be kind, honest, fun, considerate, passionate and willing to be the best man you can be...because I'm more than willing to do the same!
Hopefully that clears a few things up! :) Have a great day, good luck on your search! P:)
PS...some of you Alberta men might be wondering why I'm bothering to read your profiles since I currently live in Vancouver, but I'm in the midst of starting another interior design office (in Calgary this time) and thought I should at least do a little bit of planning for a new social life while I'm at it! All work and no play becomes pretty dull before too long! :)

Meet someone special from British Columbia, Canada. I would like to hang out with a person who likes to experience life and have fun, someone who has a positive attitude about life in general.
I take care of myself (exercise and eat healthy) and kind of expect a man or my date to do the same.
I am most attracted to man's brain, I need to feel the chemistry and also like to kiss and cuddle.
I appreciate my friends, and like my job.
I like to watch soccer, tennis and hockey, (I really am a sports nut).

Date a soulmate from British Columbia, Canada. Looking for a fun, sincere and engaging man, to enjoy a great life-long adventure!
I believe in quality of life, finding balance in work and play.
Open, honest and fearless communication together with genuine respect is important.
Character matters more to me than reputation.
Compassion, kindness and integrity play a part in all my relationships.
Taking care of my body, mind and soul, happens daily.
I take time for stillness and reflect on 3 things, people or experiences I am grateful for before I fall asleep each night.
I live a life filled with confidence, curiosity, passion and exploration.
While my friends tell me I know a lot and am well read, I'm capable of not being too serious and like to have fun. I consider myself to be compassionate and open-minded and focus on daily acts of joy to keep myself grounded. I really do "live in the moment".
I have many interests and have had many wonderful life experiences that I am willing to share.
I love to travel (31 countries to date) and am a very curious individual always up for an adventure. Spontaneous plans or road trips are a welcome activity! I'm definitely not afraid to get my hands dirty, rock in heels and a little black dress or in Gore-Tex/fleece. I am definitely a water baby...love being on it, in it, near it, while participating in any number of fun activities. I just purchased a new road bike and interested in the sport of cycling. If you can assist me with my new adventure, I'm sure we'll have loads of fun!
My interests are varied and include film/photography, the arts/theatre/symphony/galleries, design/architecture, CBC radio, reading, being outdoors in nature, cycling, working out at the gym, the green movement, current/political/global/cultural events, sailing/boating, writing, healthy eating, pilates/yoga, swimming, being creative, good live music, hanging out with friends cooking/bbq-ing, wine tasting, volunteering, singing, dancing, learning, caring and sharing.

I love the smell of cedar, a fine red, delicious food, aftershave on a man's neck, early morning air.
Tulips, fresh fruit in the shower, dark chocolate, stove-top made popcorn, a white cotton shirt & jeans, home cooking/baking (think veggie soup and banana bread), soft bed sheets, long walks coupled with interesting conversation, are simple pleasures I value. Friends and family are near and dear.
It is my intention to meet a man who is interested in learning new things, sharing in life's ups and downs while being open to growing as an individual and becoming his fullest self. Someone who is respectful, a good communicator, a good listener, loving, lovable, sexy, sensual, smart, adventurous, fun, passionate about his desires/goals...someone who values the importance and specialness of family/friends and who is interested in true romance, because at the end of the day....love makes the world go around!
I love the creativity and intimacy which happens when two people let themselves JUST BE who they are and allow romance to unfold and JUST BE what it is meant to be. I love the depth and spiritual connection that evolves when two people open their hearts and share a pure rawness that requires no explanation, no effort, no fear. Ahhhh...how simple and easy life really is!
If any of the above resonates with you don't be shy... send a note and say hello!
P.S. If you have children I look forward getting to know them as well as you!
Please share a recent photograph. Thanks!

Meet a woman from British Columbia, Canada. I'm just back from South Africa and Botswana and feeling the urge to keep going, so here's what I'm thinking: I’ll meet you at the airport and we'll roll the dice: 1 - we go north, 2 - south, 3 - west, 4 - east, 5 - we’re on the first flight out, and 6 - the first international flight! So… what do you think? Are you game? What?! Too early in the year to take a holiday??!! Oh all right then, we’ll have to play locally…
I guess this is where I tell you about myself. And as you know, it’s one of those “where do I begin” moments. So, I surveyed my friends and here are their “Top 10” answers (OK – I limited it to 5 figuring my profile would be way too long!):
1. Loves to travel. Preferably off the beaten-track (Chile or Mongolia perhaps?), and would love to one day say I've traveled to every continent, experienced their cultures, explored their lands, gotten lost amongst their peoples....
2. Adventurous - will try almost anything once! I've learned to dive in the Red Sea, hiked on the Inca Trail, snorkelled with sea lions in the Galapagos, tobogganed sand dunes on 90 Mile Beach, flew a plane over the south of France, and just skidoo-ed on Vatnajokull Glacier and took a quick dip in the North-Atlantic Ocean (brr!)...
3. Youthful with great genes (jeans too!).
4. Enjoys good food, good wine, good conversation, highland single malts, the company of good friends and family.
5. Loyal, intelligent, creative, honest, sensitive, always up, warm & generous in nature...(aw shucks...)
And who are you? Well, being that I havenРІР‚в„ўt met you yet, IРІР‚в„ўm sure you will be a lot of things I haven't thought of. I know you love to travel and explore, in your own backyard and beyond. You are active and fit. You have a playful spirit and vitality; are independent, perhaps with some of your own interests as well as similar ones. Family and friends are important parts of your life, or maybe your friends are your family. You are actually reading this. You are passionate about living life and enjoying each day, excited to see how it will unfold. Honesty and integrity mean something to you, they aren't just words bandied about to "play the game" (and btw, I prefer board games).
Well, that's a start.
Smiling?
Let's chat! Look forward to hearing from you.

Date someone special from Canada. One of the most important aspects of life is laughter as well as having fun and enjoying whatever you do. I am an athletic female who plays most sports. The ones that I do consistently are tennis, power walks, pilates, golf and sometimes horseback riding. Not only am I very active but also love music and theatre or time with family and friends as well as relaxing at home. I am looking for someone that is interested in sharing these experiences with me as well as introducing me to new adventures.

Meet a soulmate from Canada. I am happy in my life and what it has to offer. I love to travel and experience other parts of the world.
I have a great job, I love my boss, I love what I do, and I think my colleagues are great too. And I know from experience that this doesnРІР‚в„ўt happen that often in the working world. My job is a little flexible but demands my attention Monday to Friday so my weekends and time off are very precious to me. I value my downtime and take every opportunity I can to recharge my batteries to take in nature, sun, water, and the fresh air. For some reason this brings me back to neutral ground and I feel like I am ready to take on the world.
In addition I also have a great family, even though I donРІР‚в„ўt have children of my own, my sister, brother, nieces, nephews and mother mean the world to me and are always there for me as I am always there for them.
