Date women from Canada / Ontario / Beamsville, 44 year old

Date a soulmate from Ontario, Canada. I have been separated for oover two years and while I am independent and don't mind spending time alone, it would be nice to find that special someone to spend time with. I love children even though II don't have any.
My family and friends say that I am honest, dependable, kind, caring and determined.
I love the warmth of the summer and enjoy spending time outdoors, especially near water.
I watch baseball and live on the dark side as I am a New York Yaknkess fan.
Although we may not share the same interests, I like a new challenge. Tell me I can't do something and I'll try my best to prove you wrong. In return, you must be open to my interests.
I am looking for someone who is honest, respectful, trust worthy, knows how to communicate and who will also do the little things that will make me smile. I have a picture that I will share if I think we make a connection.
I am a little shy, if I send a wink your way it means that you've attracted my attention. If you're not interested, please just send a "no thanks".

Meet someone special from Ontario, Canada. Mid-forties, professional, wicked smart, funny. Big, booming laugh. A total sucker for a stray and a man that calls me by a pet name.
Faced with the choice I'd probably open the box; either Pandora's or Schrodinger's. INTP, if that means anything to you. I like to think it also stands for interesting person. :) Doing things that scare me keeps me interesting, and I've learned a little bit about a lot of things.
No-one's ever called me princess. I own tools, I use them. Some of those tools are physical.
I have a big personality. I reach out and break off a piece of whatever fruit I can reach and I don't ask permission. I'm silly and impulsive and sharp and fun. I am a barrel of fun to hang out with. I feel ways about things. I have thoughts and desires and if you ask me what they are you are going to get an honest answer while looking you straight in the eye.
I own a house, have a career and drive a nice car. I have the things I need and enough that I am happy with my material world, I'm looking for fun and connection and mutual respect and support. I can't do high maintenance or needy and have no time for asshattery at home. I've become very good at jettisoning anything that disturbs that peace.
I'm very Liberal. Please note the cap. It will get in the way if you think abortions are murder and people of the same sex ought not to marry or raise children. Don't try and debate me on it; I'll just end up using all those silly logic and basic human rights arguments that mystifyingly people seem to want to forget.
Big men with strong warm hands are an immediate attractant for me, but I want you to be the sum of all your parts, not just your physical ones. It's your mind that's going to really interest me, your ideas, your thoughts, your way of communicating. If you make me laugh I am going to be very interested, much more so than via protestations of good-heartedness or down-to-earthyness. Are you committed to your own happiness? I want to talk to you.
Having said that, chemistry has been known to interfere with my rational thought process. Fair warning: once the chemical fog has cleared, I'll be paying attention. The details need to add up. Gratuitous obfuscation is unattractive. I'll notice, and then I'll ask a clarifying question, and, well, you know how that can go.
Outside interests: I haz 'em. I will share. Most. Maybe. ;)
Message me if you can deal with the fact I will be late for just about everything, if sleeping in on a Sunday is your idea of a nice way to start the day, if you can think of at least 3 things that you're willing to drop whatever you're doing right now this minute to come and do with me.
I am serious if not rather laid back about my search. I think to be fair a picture is necessary for any kind of regular messaging. I'm not searching for friends; I have friends. I am looking for someone to share my time with in a trusting, lighthearted and easy way. That will require physical attraction. While it's not the only thing, and certainly not the most important thing, I think it is absolutely necessary for any type of relationship to have a chance.
I've put up honest and fairly revealing photographs of myself, and I did that for a reason. No-one will be surprised on meeting me; I look exactly like my photos show me, other than my hair is longer.
If you're interested in getting to know me better, let me know. I'm very friendly and will answer you. Otherwise, best of luck to you!
*** You should NOT message me if you want 'spicy' talk or to jump on a web cam and show me your junk. Really. Skip right on by. I won't be sad at all.
Also, please note: I'm on the c25k. I'm on a good, healthy path. I'm not a fitness nut, and I'm a big girl. Look for your shredded abs elsewhere. Think zaftig. Go ahead, I'll wait while you look it up. ;)
