Date women from Canada / British Columbia, 56 year old

Date someone special from British Columbia, Canada. I'd describe myself as independent, self-motivated, sincere, honest, open-minded, personable, with a good sense of humour. Although I'm a borderline introvert, I do have an adventurous side, especially when it comes to travel (the more exotic the better).
In a partner I'm looking for someone intelligent,focused,honest,open-minded, funny, and young at heart (like me) , with similar values such as integrity, loyalty, and compassion. Also, someone who enjoys music, dance, travel, and generally likes to be physically active and fit. Spirituality/ Religion are also important to me.

Meet a woman from British Columbia, Canada. I love my life. I also love chocolate, coffee, good wine, long walks on the beach and poking dead things with a stick. I would like to find someone who thinks I'm beautiful. His guide dog is welcome to join us on our first date.
Please note that just because I am standing next to a tree, does not mean I am a hardcore outdoor type. I love being outdoors and enjoying nature at its best, as long as I can return to my creature comforts at the end of the day - good wine, bubbles and an amazing massage. I do not understand or appreciate the delights of camping, so if you're into that, we would not be a good match. Men like camping. Women like great hotels. Smart men who like women, like great hotels. Here's why.
Great Hotel - arrive, register, shower, hang up your clothes, and you're ready to start your holiday.
Camping - arrive, spend a half hour finding the site, realize the electrics aren't working, and thereРІР‚в„ўs no water hook-up, find the manager, walk 2 hours to get to the bathroom, remember you should have brought toilet paper, erect the tent, realize you are missing 3 crucial pieces..like the door, find the bathroom again (is this the hike trail they advertised?), argue, look for the bug spray, realize that you have no food because HE left it just inside the front door, find the wine, have a sip, oh, what the hell..... empty the whole bottle, then open another for luck, march the 6 kms to the bathroom again, twist your ankle on the way, realize you have no first aid kit and that you forgot the toilet paper again, argue louder, hit him over the head with a large tree branch that just happened to appear in your hand, 3 hours later, finally get set up, sit down to enjoy your new hangover and some warm beer, watch in delight as the site next door unloads your new neighbors - great people from the Ozarks (probably cousins)- complete with 9 children, a breastfeeding wife, a husband who plays harmonica (badly) and 17 flea-infested dogs... 4 of which have just taken up residence in your tent....because it hasn't got a damn door.
Great Hotel – beautifully appointed en-suite 10 steps away, with fresh towels and nice smelling things in bottles, and an amazing man to share your shower with.
Camping - a shovel and (if you're lucky) a communal shower 6 kms away, complete with no towels (because, like an idiot, you forgot yours back at camp), athletes foot, and an impressive nest of biting insects to share your shower with.
Great Hotel - big, comfortable beds, with clean sheets, and lots of pillows.
Camping – a blow up mattress (probably with a newly acquired leak that by morning will have you lying on 1/8 of an inch of soggy plastic on the cement-like ground), with a sleeping bag that’s been soaked in Raid. On the bright side - you found the bug spray....
Great Hotel - if something touches your leg in the middle of the night, it's probably welcome.
Camping - if something touches your leg in the middle of the night it's probably not welcome.
Great Hotel - gourmet food, great wine, romantic music, and someone else gets to clean up.
Camping - burnt wieners, cheap beer, radio redneck, and you get to clean up.
Great Hotel - quiet, soundproofed rooms for intimate moments.
Camping - bite on a stick and hope that you donРІР‚в„ўt finish to an audience of fellow campers applauding, and holding up scorecards, while enjoying your performance through the nylon tent frame.
If you canРІР‚в„ўt laugh at life pass me by. I donРІР‚в„ўt climb mountains, bike across the Sahara desert, or bungee jump over Niagara Falls. I do hold hands, kiss spontaneously, and make sure my man knows he is the only one in my world. I am attracted to a handsome face and a nice body. My world is simple, uncomplicated, always happy, and I would love to make someone else happy
too. Email me. I always respond.

Good luck in your search for happiness!!

. In the winter I ski regularly at whistler, in the summer I like to rollerblade and paddle (kayaking, SUP). I try to include these in my holidays too. I enjoy live performances, dance, music (classical, blues, flamenco, world) and 'ethnic" food. I'm self-employed in healthcare, currently adapting my work so I can visit some remote areas on my holidays and include temp volunteer work. Adventure, cultural and restful travel all appeal.
I know home depot and 'guy stuff' too much from renos and property management on the side. I'm conscious what I eat, enjoy most outdoor activities. I'm off kayaking this weekend around Tofino. I'm ready for a bigger holiday! more later.....
I'm looking for someone whose life, wisdoms and glitches are different but compatible, someone with a tolerant nature and a good sense of humour for the twists and turns of life.

. I'm easy going, love to laugh, and love a great conversation. I smile often because i'm truly a happy person. I am so grateful for this time in my life. I hope to attract someone who is comfortable in their skin and likes to try new adventures. I like a varied social life with an equal amount of quiet togetherness at home. I'm looking for a friendship that will build into more if the chemistry is right.

. I have been described as extremely loyal to those I care. I have worked in health care helping those in need. I would like to be with someone who cares about other people and the world that he lives in. I love to do parties for families and friends. I would like to find someone who is kind, compassionate and honest in all his ways. I am passionate about helping people who are less fortunate, who suffer from some form of mental illness . As a health care professional it is fulfilling to see lives changed and people getting better and move on to new challenges.
I am grateful for having a chance to meet someone here who can join me in this new adventure.

. So, I'm in Toronto, visiting an old friend, catching up on another year's worth of news, and she says, "Let's sign you up on an internet dating service. It's time."
"No," I say, "I'm not that type of person."
She points out that in my line of work (college prof/writer/artist) and given my interests (dance, writing, theatre, art, music, nature, and travel), I'm more likely to meet a middle-aged woman or a Buddhist monk than a fascinating male partner.
This is true, however, the idea of marketing myself online is so, well, yucky. It's like playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey, blind-folded. "It shouldn't happen like that," I explain. "It should happen like this: I'm at a bus stop, or in an airport, or even at the fruit store, and --
"Don't tell me that you both reach for a mango at the same time," she says.
I remind her that as a writer -- an entertaining, intelligent, witty writer -- I would never come up with such a cliche, hackneyed scenario.
"You write romantic comedies," she points out.
"Yes," I reply, "but they're good romantic comedies. Comedies with depth."
"Comedies aren't deep," she scoffs.
We talk movies for awhile, but eventually she circles back to the subject at hand. She refills our wine glasses and offers to fill out my profile. She flips open her laptop. She describes me as some kind of goddess (puh-lease) who hosts great dinners for family and friends (true), who loves to travel to exotic, off-the-beaten-path places (true) and who has the soul of an artist (yeah, okay). She says that I'm sexy yet grounded, funny yet insightful, confident yet kind. I roll my eyes and reach for the delete button. "No, no, no," she says. "Just tell me, in your own words, what you're looking for."
So, I say this: I'd like to meet a straight-shooter; a confident, honest, romantic man who knows how to laugh and enjoy life. I want him to bring his passionate, curious, intelligent, amusing self to the table. We don't have to share all our interests; and it's just fine if he reads non-fiction and I read fiction because we can talk about the books over dinner. And anyway, in the end, it's not about a list of attributes, it's about some kind of weird, karmic, magic that happens between people. Pheromones or fate. Who can say? It's mysterious.
"That's good," she says. "I'm writing it down."
"I hate this," I say.
"Yeah, I know," she says, "but you never know who's out there."

. I am an active, warm, cheerful semi-retired person with a sense of adventure and curiosity. Loyal to family and friends, as I believe we help each other through life's challenges. I am blessed with close relationships with friends whom I admire. I try to live each day with joy; be clear yet diplomatic to avoid misunderstandings.
I yearn to learn languages, learn about new places and other ways of living.
I am grateful to be financially stable, and healthy so I can enjoy what life offers.
Although my life is very good, it would be sweet to find an active, intelligent, kind and ethical gentleman with whom to share time..or more. Perhaps we could ski, waterski, kayak, enjoy some live performances together, and travel. Or find companionship in discussing issues, problem-solving, laughing, and just "being".

. Hi there....At this point in my life I know what I want and don't want in friendships and relationships. I admire honesty and respect. Some of the things that are really important to me are my family, adventure, sports, the outdoors, my friends and work. I love the sunshine and the water and the mountains, the parks, beaches, kayaking, walking, hiking and golfing. I enjoyed running in two Rock n Roll half marathons in Vegas and Seattle. Lots of fun!
I am looking for friendship first. We are comfortable and supportive of doing things together and apart. Family and friends are very important but so is quiet, alone time be it walking the beach, being on the water, sitting around a blazing fire, relaxing on the deck, or snuggling on the couch watching a good movie with a nice glass of tinto vino!
Although I am not yet retired I have regular days off which I try to enjoy to the fullest and request additional time off when I want to be away.

. Hello! I'm a freelance musician in the Victoria area - I love my work and consider myself fortunate to be able to have one of my passions be my career. I have a one-year-old samoyed dog who is great fun - he inspires me to get out for long walks in this beautiful city. I really enjoy live concerts and theatre but also appreciate quiet times at home, watching movies, hockey and football games on TV. Even though I'm a pianist, I don't mind getting my hands dirty working in the garden! I appreciate a good glass of wine, interesting conversation and hope you do too. I've lived on a sailboat, taken flying lessons, and lived in Alaska. I'm a very cheerful and optimistic person, a really good listener, willing to go that extra mile to help my friends and family. I'm hoping you're someone who is respectful, has a great sense of humour (and can appreciate my quirky sense of humour!) and who appreciates the simple things in life......

. About Me
I have many active interests ( not necessarily talents), but I also enjoy reading, music of many genres, gardening, cultural events, great food and good company to share it all with! I'm independent, active and playful, young physically and at heart, with an adventuresome spirit and a fun zest for life. I like to travel and enjoy winter vacations to hot spots, adventure travel.. and road trips closer to home.
I enjoy discussion about everything from world events to the mundane days events, communication is attractive to me and I find the mind to be very sexy! For the most part I try to live a healthy lifestyle, but give me an "off day" and Ill consume any carb in sight! I am also guilty of enjoying a nice Pinot Grigio with a great meal or long tub soak.. or my morning paper ( haha... kidding on that last one... just checking to see if you're still awake!)...
Ideally I'm looking for my friend, lover, partner and traveling companion for future journeys both near and far.. someone who has a glint of mischief and devilment in his eyes. He's playful, educated, and enjoys both the finer and simple things in life. Someone to share with and build/nurture a mutually great relationship. Of course this all begins with attraction and compatibility.. :- ) If any of this sounds like "you".. then send me a note and let's talk..,
