Date women from Canada / British Columbia, 45 year old

Date a woman from British Columbia, 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 someone special from British Columbia, 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 someone special from Canada. Hi there, I am a lady who has put my life in perspective, I have hopes, dreams, and future goals. I am somewhat of a thrill seeker and love to try new things, from trying new foods to white water rafting, which is on my bucket list of things to do. I am a happy, caring person who enjoys great conversation, spending time with family and friends, in which I adore and value. I enjoy the simple things in life, and feel great helping the people I care for achieve their goals. I am in the processing business and my job is physically demanding, and on my days off I feel the need to stay active, enjoying my motorcycle, hiking our local trails, spending time in antique stores looking for that special treasure. I love to travel and see what our world has to offer, and would love to share these experiences with a fresh new outlook. Are you up for that? Well i must admit I love to stay busy, however I do have a soft cuddly side. lol. and do enjoy staying in with a good movie, or in the back yard relaxing. I surround myself with good people, I am an optimist, who sees the positive in any given situation. I try to stay conscientious on the foods I eat, what I drink, and how much rest I get. I am very honest and tell it how I see it, I am imaginative, and open to new ideas. I would like my partner to share the same values, and interests, and with the right chemistry I believe miracles can happen. Looking forward to hearing from you....

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.

. Hello
I'm a single 45 year old lady that is looking for someone to complement me. Not only in the physical sense ... and physical is important, but also in the adventure, spiritual, ethical, mental and humorous sense.
I have a full time career which I enjoy very much and a 10 year old daughter. But I know that I'm at a stage in my life now where I would love to share with great guy who isn't afraid to live life to the fullest.
Good luck to all, who are searching :)

. I'm very outgoing, love to laugh and have fun and explore all the opportunities that life offers up. I love my work and work hard, but appreciate my free time and use it to get out and have fun!
I love to travel and have travelled extensively through Asia, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Australia, Central America, Mexico and the US. I speak Spanish and enough Mandarin to survive in China. I have lived abroad for numerous years and would consider doing so again. I still want to explore South America, Iceland, the Nordic countries, Russia, and many other places! Quieres ir conmigo?
I love the outdoors and enjoy kayak touring, hiking, tennis, snowshoeing and camping in the wilderness. Photography is my biggest passion but I also love music (I play piano and some guitar) and literature. I enjoy live theatre, cooking and dining out as well. I have a deaf old cat as a pet but love all animals (except for nasty biting ones with bad attitudes). I don't have much time for tv, but can enjoy a few shows from time to time (but not a big fan of watching sports on tv - except maybe tennis!).
I'm looking for an intelligent, independent, compassionate, highly active partner with his own career and passions to share life with, including travel. You must love animals and nature, and be physically active regularly. I live a pretty healthy active lifestyle, and am looking for the same in my partner.
Who knows - let's meet for a coffee or walk and see if there's a connection?

. I am a newly single mom looking to begin the next chapter of my life. For every door that closes, a new one opens. I am excited about the future. I am hoping to meet a soul mate who I can share my future with. Life is short and it is best shared with somebody you love.

. sweet friendship and love. honesty. laughter. intelligent conversation. meaningful conversation. challenge for mind and body. agape. sharing music, movies, walks and afternoons in the sun, or the rain

. Hello,
My friends say I am an outgoing woman, with a zest for life and even a zany sense of humor, I think that is a good thing, you may have to decide yourself. I keep up on the world news and am an avid CBC I and II listener, not that I agree with it all but it is more interesting than most radio. My favorite TV shows are on PBS except for Modern Family.
I am self employed and a lifelong learner. I make a point of getting better at my career, I find it satisfying. I have been known to be called 'Cliff Clavin as I know just a bit about a lot of things and it can get me in trouble.
For fun I like to bike both Mt. and road. I enjoy road trips and hiking new areas. I used to kayak a lot but think it safer with a partner as I have respect for the water. I would like to get back into it in the next few years.
Travelling and a bit of adventure is important to me. I have been to a number of countries and love meeting people and exploring the culture. I want to get to India in the next few years, bike up the Rhine Valley and visit the Galapagos Islands among other things. We also have a fantastic Island here so I am sure to keep busy here too. Do any of these things sound interesting?
My friends say to make a list of what I want in a partner but I am not a laundry list kinda girl, I am more of a chemistry kind of woman.
Here is a rough draft.
You must have some hootspa and a love for life.
No sleeves of tattoos or the like it is just not my thing.
You must respect the elderly and people in general, and of course animals as well.
Cheers,

. 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?! :)
Bring it on.
ddf essential as are raincoats

. Hi, thanks for checking out my profile.
I am a fun-loving person, who values family and friends. I believe strongly in nutrition, health, and exercise with dance being my biggest passion. Travelling comes second and I am a sucker for white sand beaches and clear blue waters. I am educated, speak 3 languages, but can write in none. Looking for someone to enjoy life with of similar values and faith. Happy fishing!

. Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired...... I am attractive, athletic, witty, sexy and and if standing in a crowd, people can pick out my radiant energy - my friends always tell me I have a glorious smile. I love to be active in sports and stay physically fit. Looking good is important to me, but you will definitely never consider me high maintenance. A pony tail and a baseball cap are comfortable fare , or I can look just as stunning and comfortable decked out for a formal event.
I am a romantic, but also desire someone who can share with me their funniest of stories, be adventurous, likes a little competition, and enjoy treating the woman in their life to nights of intimate dining, casual outings with friends, or tossing a steak on the bbq and sharing a bottle of a favorite wine - red is my favorite, but I just completed a wine tasting course and am swaying to white - guess a leopard can change her spots!! I am passionate about golf, and would love someone to continue to inspire me at my game!
My idea of my special partner should have a solid career, and has the freedom to travel on a moments notice, specifically someplace warm - as I am a water sign and enjoy the tranquil currents of a Caribbean sea over the frozen ski hills along the coast.
Communication is a must... I tend to be a bit of a talker and enjoy the sound of my own laugh. I also would cherish moments of quiet on the couch with a romantic fire or just propping a book up in bed while you read a passage of your current favorite read.
I live in the sunniest place in Vancouver, and have a smile to match!!! Happy to provide a photo upon your request!

. I'm a well-educated Chinese, nice and attractive,enjoy life,love family and friends. Hope you are caring, understanding, humorous, conversational, interesting in new things, and has similar hobbies. I can share my life with you.
