Date men and women from Canada / British Columbia / Vernon, 53 year old

Date someone special from British Columbia, Canada. I have not had much luck with relationships. I try to fix things that are wrong, when they probably can't be fixed. I would like to find someone, who is willing to let a relationship grow, not jump right into it. I am a professional, at the top of my game now, and very good at what I do. I wish I could be the same in a relationship. I would love to have someone to grow old with, who loves me for who I am, and doesn' want to change me. I get lots of reality with my job, and just like to come home, relax and wind down. I will either be watching TV, or on the computer, reading a book or puttering around my house. As a single father to 2 boys still at home, 1 fulltime, the other parttime. (a complicated story for another time) I find I am either cleaning or cooking - sound familiar ladies!!! One of my proudest achievements is that my son who lives with me fulltime - he is 13 - has a form of Autism called Aspergers syndrome. His mother was unable and unwilling to deal with him so he is with me fulltime, and is thriving. His brother who is 10 is with me on my days off, as I work shift work. I am not trying to make my self out to be super dad, I just am more easy going than most, and refused to be a hard ass, just because "that's what parents are supposed to do" I have just come out of two relationships, both with the boys mother, and one other woman, who wanted me to be tough on my boys. I will not do that again!!! If that is how you feel a parent should be, then I am not your man. I have already raised two other kids, a boy and a girl, from my first marriage, who are great, caring and productive adults. I am tough when I need to be, but prefer to be easy going. I get all the toughness and reality at work.
I want a woman who can cuddle on the couch, go for a walk, maybe to a movie or a theatre show, and occasionally a concert. I do not want to be running around everywhere when I am off work. As I said, I get enough or that at work. One thing I will add. - I like to ballroom dance. My mother taught me years ago, and I have always enjoyed it. I have not done it in years, but am pretty sure I could not make a fool of my self doing it.

Date someone special from British Columbia, Canada. I'm friendly, outgoing and responsible. I love children, old people, dogs and horses. I'm a great volunteer in the community in which I reside. I live just outside the city in a rural area with bears, deer, coyotes coming through the yard. I am grateful for the love of my children and my family. I'd like to meet someone who is kind and appreciates me for who I am. My social life at the moment consists of weekly coffee meetings with the girls I used to work with. I enjoy playing baseball, golfing, cycling, canoeing and walking in the country. I'm trying to move on because I certainly wasn't expecting to be widowed at this stage in my life. I'm looking for someone to go golfing, to the movies or out for dinner with. There's a lot to be said for going for a walk hand in hand with someone. It's always more fun to share stories and laughter with someone who's of the same mind. I think life is too short to be lived alone when a person has a lot to offer from companionship to caring about another's feelings. I look forward to meeting Mr. Right whomever he is. Is it you?

Meet a soulmate from Vernon, Canada. I have been through my own life drama and from all these experiences have develop a whole lot of character. I stay away from emotional baggage and I want a partner that has developed the backbone to hold his own. I am an independent spirit that will ask for advice so no need to express your thoughts unless invited to do so. It takes me a while to get comfortable with people but once I do I am very loyal. I would love to have a partner that wants to learn how to dance with me.

Date men and women from Vernon, Canada. I am intelligent, articulate, passionate and very loyal. If you never give me a reason to doubt your word, I never will! I am a one man woman and in for the long haul. I want to build a new life with someone. I am an above average communicator and know you are NOT a mind reader. If something is wrong, I will tell you (why on earth women say "nothing" when really they are pissed off is beyond me!!!).
True connection is created 2 ways - mentally and physically. I need to communicate with my partner on a deep level discussing everything from the world as it changes, our hopes and dreams, goals and challenges, sadness and disapointment, life lessons, good books with deep ideas that change the way we see life. I need this.
On the physical side, I am tactile and affectionate, passionate and romantic. I need affirming words, regularly. Good sex and often, is important to me and essential to any love relationship I am in. I need daily touches, kisses and verbal expressions of adoration. I am spontaneous and creative and expect the same from my partner. I make the time and have the energy for all of the above.
I am self employed, have a strong work ethic and financially secure. I own my home, pay all my bills and save for the future. I am willing to do the "grunt" work to achieve the goals I set.
I have travelled near and far (England, Europe, Hawaii, Mexico, scuba diving down south) and love to discover new cultures and search out the local people, eating good food and having great conversations.
I get along well with people (all mothers love me)and possess a high happiness quotient. Sorrow and regret have a small place in my emotional world but truth, recovery, joy and new beginnings fill my thoughts.
I love music, rock, blues, folk, pop, classical and even some country. I love quietly listening or up on the dance floor (you do dance don't you???). Want to take lessons with me??? Although I enjoy a good movie, habitual TV is not a part of my life. Call me a snob but my mind goes to mush if I subject it to most of what is currently available on TV.
I enjoy the outdoors, camping, hiking, swimming at the beach, downhill skiing in the winter, water skiing in the summer (when I am not on my motorcycle) and just getting fresh air and exercise. I also go to the gym and pool but it is not nearly as much fun as being outside.
I am looking for a humble man that is truly interested in sharing his life and experiences AND WANTS TO GET TO KNOW ME. Some people are all about the events of the day and the drama that goes with it. Others look deeper, beneath those events and are curious about why things happen the way they do, how life unfolds, the lessons to be learned and how the life we have is all up to us. I am much more attracted to this group. Conversations that actually require deep thought, intelligence, expansion of the mind and looking beyond normally accepted beliefs really turn me on.
I prefer a man that has done "personal work", meaning inward inspection (away from blame and victim mode). Have you cleaned up and dealt with the baggage from parents/childhood, ex wives and bad choices? If you have built up walls and are emotionally unavailable, afraid to risk your heart, please move on! Most people need therapy to do this (kudos to you) and some can do it on their own but if you haven't done it yet, you are not ready for me. I am all about forgiveness and peace.
As I read over my short novel (I mean profile), I know the bar is pretty high and the chances of success are minimal. I have kissed a lot of frogs already and
