Date women from Canada / British Columbia / Victoria, 43 year old

Date someone special from Victoria, Canada. I am easy going, I have great energy and I love life. I love to read, travel, shop, and going for daily walks. I am seeking same in a male and that he is kind spirited, funny, genuine and of course good looking.

Meet a soulmate from Victoria, Canada. So, here I am stepping bravely into the (supposed) "minefield" of online dating without really having a clue as to the protocols and without having any real expectations...but I do have hope!
I have been separated for 18 months (after 15 years of marriage) and am finally ready to enjoy an evening out with a glass of wine, some good food, and some intelligent conversation with a male friend who is truly interested in getting to know who I am (funny how 15 years of marriage can sometimes cloud one's own perception of oneself). I'm also at the point in my life where I am happy with who I am and truly want to find someone to have some fun with! I have FINALLY remembered that yes, I actually like to have fun!
Here are a few fun facts about me, in point form, because I like to be organized(smile):
I'm a bit of a coffee snob (don't hold it against me but it's Serious Coffee, Starbucks and in a pinch, Timmies);-)
You must like hockey. My son plays minor hockey and we watch a lot of Canucks. you MUST like hockey. Bonus points if you also play. It's sexy.
I do not like black and white thinking; There are always lots of sides to any issue. Essentially...an open mind is critical.
I am a Civil Engineer by profession and am currently enjoying re-visiting this as a career (after a long 10 year hiatus as a domestic engineer :-)
I love living in Victoria; I was born here and have lived in Vancouver and Kamloops but I always came back home.
I love to garden and try to grow most of my own veggies in the summer.
I can fix things. No really. I can. I am very self sufficient. Kind of a female McGyver-oops I guess I'm dating myself. lol
I like movies. Comedies; foreign films; lately I have been catching up with all the films I missed during the decade of all-about-kids.
I like to cook and am fairly good at it I am told.
I like to try new things...tried mountain biking and ice hockey this year..interesting...
I love to ski and look forward to getting up to the mountain more often this year.
Interested in travelling. I would prefer wandering around Paris to lying on a beach in some all-inclusive resort. it would be more fun and exciting. I did enjoy a recent girls-only trip to Vegas though ;-)
I love to laugh and am ready to live my new life.
well...essentially that is me in a nutshell. I am looking for a man who is comfortable with who he is; who is interested in being healthy; wants to have fun; enjoys some of the same things that I do but who could perhaps introduce me to new things as well (open mind).
I look forward to meeting you and finding out what makes you...YOU!

I like to meet people in person because a photo is a one-dimensional representation of who we are. It's impossible to know if someone is right for you if you've never met face to face.

Meet a woman from British Columbia, Canada. I have a couple of must haves for a future date. Must have a sense of humor and a job. I also have a couple of must NOT haves. No ankle bracelets that can only be removed with the help of a probation officer or bedbugs. Pretty much everything else is A-OK. I might be a tad bit pickier than that...but generally I am not above too much

Date someone special from Canada. I've been on my own since last year when my roommate of 19 years ... who turned 20 this year ... moved out. It's been quite the learning curve for me to go from being a single mother to just being single and finally getting a chance to figure out what I want out of life.
I'm a very independent person and enjoy having time to myself. I would like to find someone who is interested in being a part of my life without wanting to BE my life.
I have a wicked sense of humor and enjoy the banter that can develop between two people who know each other really well.
My son and I made an agreement when he was a teenager, and listening to music that half the time you couldn't understand what they were saying and the other half you wished you couldn't understand what they were saying, that I would find at least one song that I liked per group. Due to this, I have what you might call a varied taste in music. There's the music that was my choice from the 70's, 80's and 90's and then there's the music from the 21st century that I chose as the lesser of two evils!
I love to travel, especially when it involves a cruise ship. Please don't ask me to go camping. I grew up in logging camps so my version of camping is a hotel that doesn't have room service.
I enjoy working out, going for walks, movies, reading and golf. It's been about 8 months now that I've been going to the driving range and signed up for a "learn to golf" program this summer. Hopefully I don't start asking where the windmill is when we get to the third hole!

Meet a soulmate from Canada. Tall Men!!! Where are you??? I'm a jeans and boots kinda woman (with a heal, makes me about 6'), looking for a manly man. A bit of a romantic in that I just want to look up into your eyes, and when you put your arm around me, I fit into that nook. I am a nature and animal lover, who would loves to spend time outside. Would like to find someone to go exploring, hiking, or camping on this beautiful island we live on. And the occasional nice getaway is always a bonus too :).
Starting a new chapter in my life and looking forward to it. Change is good. You never know what life will bring you (as long as it's fun!). I'm an easy going woman, who loves to laugh. I have a sarcastic sense of humor that I'm pretty sure my friends appreciate :). Not really into the bar scene, but love to hit the pubs with friends for drinks and laughs. My taste in music is mostly classic rock, but can kick up my boots to some country too. Looking to date and hopefully find that one and only.

Date a woman from Canada. First and foremost, I raise my grandson full time. Yes, my grandson, almost 19 months old! Call me the grandma of the 21st Century :) Moving along...
I always find it is very difficult to talk about myself.
So, I will tell you things my friends say to me and about me :)
I am truthful (not to a fault though)
I find the bright side in almost anything (almost being the operative word)
I am fun to hang out with (I think I must amuse them)
I poke fun at myself when I truly do a major faux pas (seriously)
I have a great laugh (except when a small snort appears)
I love to sing out loud when I think no one is around to hear me (but I have been caught! Red-handed sometimes when playing Rock Band
Things that people I work with say :)
I am a multitasker
I am a team player (trust me, I carry that outside of work as well)
I think you know where I am going here without delving in much further. I would rather get to know someone slowly and have someone get to know me the same way. I relate that to "learning new things every day" attitude.
What I am looking for:
A like-minded man.
Someone who laughs out loud (literally) even when by themselves.
A man that could teach me how to cook!! I love watching the food network, and I can sort of muddle through some great dishes, but, I would love to really learn how to cook.
I am looking for someone adventurous to balance out my life (I know I said like-minded at the top of this list, but seriously, I want someone who will encourage me to try new things when I go with the status quo)
What I would say about me:
I am a kid trapped in an older body that I am trying to take care of by exercising.
I am a computer geek (not passionately, but I am a gamer! If you are one as well, chances are we are *like-minded*.
I am more witty when I am exhausted (I would say at least "I" think I am wittier then).
I am a Trekkie (not a Kirk fan, but a Picard fan! Not to say I haven't seen all of the original episodes with Kirk [tribbles amuse me]
I have a love for music (especially those that have strings in it like the piano or violins). Don't knock me for it, but I do also appreciate most styles of music.
Yes, I have a job, but I don't live to work, I work so I can live and enjoy the ride :)

. I am a real person who is looking to enhance my life with a good friend/possible partner and I too hope to enhance thiers. I do travel alot which makes it hard to develop things but my mom always said,,where there's a will theres a way.
I would love to find a friend to travel with from time to time and spend quiet times together developing our interests. I will not lie, the kind of work I am in makes me want to take care of myself and in turn I woould want to meet a man who apprciates that fact and also looks after himself to the best he can. I am attracted to more so younger men but not to the point of being infatuated or anything with them. My life is an open book to anyone who wants to ask questionas of me,,,,enough for now, more to be added later

So? Are you willing to take a chance on me?

. I am an outgoing woman with a heart of gold. I don't put up with nonsense, or tolerate rudeness towards myself or others. I would like someone with a great sense of humor, as I myself use humor often. I am sensitive...in an appropriate situations.
