Date men and women from Canada / British Columbia / Victoria, 74 year old

Date a soulmate from Victoria, Canada. I have been a cop, newspaper reporter, teacher and counsellor. The work I liked best was teaching. The rewards were the times that student's eyes brightened, letting me know that they had learned something new and exciting. I am an honest man and my references from employers and friends say that I am trustworthy, loyal, caring, and valued by my colleagues. The woman that I would seek first as a friend, but want to end my life in her company would be similarly loyal, caring, trustworthy and committed to our love pact (if that's how far we get to) as much as me. I hope that I find her.

Meet a man from Victoria, Canada. My closest friends find me loyal and reliable. Good comedy makes me smile. Accomplishments that make me proud? After a lifetime of teaching in Canada, California, AND China thousands of teenagers were my friends and thankfully none were discipline problems or enemies.
I want to attract a woman who can share my interests and introduce me new ones. I want her to be a warm friend and comfort, and one who needs the same care and comfort.
My social life keys around friends coming over for supper to watch Canuck hockey games or an evening of cards. Good comedians or gags make me laugh.
AT the moment I'm simply looking for friendship in a relationship and hope it will develop into much more.
