Date men and women from Canada / Ontario / Clarkson, 40 year old

Date a man from Clarkson, Canada. Never done this before. Giving it a shot.
I have three young kids (all under 10yrs old) and they mean the world to me and always will (but I have room for that special one or ones if she has children of their own), I have always put family first. I have spent the many years building my business and supporting my family. Now I need to look after myself and re-define who I am, as I lost myself along the way. I am in the middle of the Divorce Settlement and will post pics soon (just being honest and hoping this will be settled by Oct., sorry if I scare anyone off. Will send pics upon request). I am Asian by looks, but not by heart. I was born and raised in Toronto. I tend to be more attracted to Caucasians, my Children are Half Chinese and Half Caucasians. But Love sees no Colour and Love is what I'm looking for.
I am easy going, quiet until I'm comfortable (then class clown), hard working, family oriented, thoughtful, honest, loyal and tend to be very sarcastic (not everyone understand it).
I am being honest in all respects. I'm actually 5'9.5" (rounded up to 5'10"), I've listed that I smoke occasionally which is actually in a Blue Moon (maybe 6 times a year or years without and afterwards I realize why I quit 13 odd years ago), slender since being Legally Separated, previously average/athletic nothing to hide.
I believe long lasting relationships are build firstly on friendships and chemistry and not physical attraction (not saying I'm unattractive). I love inner beauty, not outer beauty. I want to fall in love with my BFF! Love can conquer all! Nothing better than the anticipation to see the love of your life after a long day of work, that unexpected kiss, warmth of cuddling in front of a fire or movie.
I love a beautiful big ear to ear smile that brightens up a room and hope yours can unleash mine!

Meet people from Clarkson, Canada. I just moved here recently and looking at friendships first and possibly a relationship down the road. I'm looking at a new start in life in a new city. I love the outdoors love being on the water and love animals. I also have a great sense of humor. Although, it may be a little twisted sometimes. I'm real and may be a little rough around the edges at times but I try to be considerate and appreciate the people close to me. I try to enjoy life and I hope you do as well.
I'm looking for someone who is beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. (Omg that sounded corny. Lol!) Someone who is fun, selfless and has a good heart. At the same time, I'm looking for someone who has a dark sense of humor and has a little bit of an edge. Hopefully, you're a strong, independant woman who knows what she wants. AND, if you like to fish or like to try, BIG PLUS!
My first date would depend but generally something casual to get to know one another. Maybe lunch and a walk down the docks. A boat ride to the islands or something of that nature. If all goes well, I'll try not to "forget my wallet again" on the second date! Kidding! Haha!
