Date men and women from Canada / Ontario / Clarkson, 59 year old

Date someone special from Clarkson, Canada. I am widow. In my country I was a surgeon, who helped patients from newborns to 18-year olds. All my close relatives in Ukraine passed away. I have one son, whose family lives in Mississauga, Ontario. I came to Canada to re-unite with my son's family and help with my beautiful granddaughter and grandson I am caring, kind, romantic and honest person. I am a financially independent person, who wants to enjoy life and is looking for a respectful and meaningful relationship to find strong friendship and ideally love.

Meet a soulmate from Clarkson, Canada. Friends describe me a loyal friend and confidante who values family, friends and a loving relationship with someone special. Adjectives which best describe me are; independent, affectionate, caring, giving, sincere, good listener, loving, gentle, honest, attractive, mischevious (in a good way) curious, fun, and hard working.
I value honesty, communication and monogamy. I read an interesting description of a relationship which I believe in. I am looking for someone "who will stand or walk beside me, not in front of me or behind me". I enjoy, old fashioned gestures of respect, such as opening doors, taking of one's coat holding hands, etc. Spontaneity adds so much to a relationship. I love to receive and give, "little surprises", for no particualr reason or occasion. Flowers or token gifts and cards are always a joy both to receive as well as to give. (fresh flowers whether in winter or summer months are always in my home) I believe to give a compliment when one is due - it is always nice to see someone SMILE and feel positive about themselves.
Chemistry and that "spark" ....... mmmmmm
Love to explore our many wonderful shops, restaurants, galleries, exhibits locally as well as country drives to our surrounding quaint small towns (antique shops - flea markets, etc ) Ice cream treats?
Warmer summer months enjoying time up at family cottage and many outdoor and water sports. Cycling , whether on our wonderful lakefront or our fabulous trails throughout the city and various parks Music is always playing whether it be in my home or car - dancing? oh yes, - upbeat - slow - salsa?
As a former fashion model, I take pride in staying in shape as well , in my appearance.( as well from a healthy point of view)
I would be equally comfortable accompanying you to a formal reception to a cocktail party or for a country drive in jeans or a stroll on a warm beach.
Are you the gentleman I am looking for? It all begins with a few key strokes.
Gentlemen, please do not respond if you do not have a photo.
