Date women from Canada / Ontario / Don Mills, 48 year old

Date someone special from Don Mills, Canada. I'm an easy going person who doesn't judge a book by it's cover. I've overcome many obsticals in my life, raising my kids on my own; only to benefit from the experiences and move on. I enjoy many different things from camping in the roughback to going to art galleries, museums, and botanical gardens. I do not believe in long distance relationships so if you are not within communiting distance, not to mention Canada, I won't respond. I am a freelance journalist as well as an active volunteer with CAMH. I hold an arts and crafts night and it envolves my entire Wednesday to do so. I am also an activist in the mental health field.
What am I looking for in a gentleman, and I do not use the word lightly. Someone who will hold doors open, not be afraid to send me the occasional bunch of flowers or write poetry or love notes. I would like someone who is at home in a suit and tie just as much as a pair of jeans. I am looking for companionship. I firmly believe if you are dating someone, it is just that person and not two or more. One man, one woman. If you want to date me, that is the way it is. I am highly intelligent and would appreciate someone who can hold up their end of the conversation or better yet, challenge me. I love to debate as long as in the end we can agree to disagree.
As for my perfect date, a long walk along the beach would be nice, but for a first date, I would prefer a tea or coffee at a local coffee shop so we can see if we are compatible. I want someone who is down to earth and doesn't have an ego as big as a puffer fish. I believe in strong communication. If you have a beef with me, talk to me about it and we'll see how we can solve it and vise versa. Don't go away in a huff because I will assume in the worst. We're both adults and we can state our positions clearly and can resolve them too. I believe in forgiveness and being forgiven.
Given this wonderful world of modern technology, I am not completely compentent at it and will make mistakes with it. Don't hold it against me, I just don't understand it all. This is my first time on a dating site and will make mistakes.

Meet a soulmate from Don Mills, Canada. I feel very strong that a person is defined by who they are not what they look like, you must feel comfortable in yourself, and want people to enjoy you for what you are and who your are.
Im looking for someone who loves sports, walking, swiming ,relaxing and laying out in the sun, reading a good book, or just relaxing on the couch watching a good movie, going for walks on the beach on a nice summer eveing, and just loves to cuddle. I'm looking for someone who loves to laugh, has a great sense of humour, enjoys outside activies and can dress down or up, someone who understand a women can have her independence, but can be a great partner who will stick through everything, Someone who loves great conversation, and is also a romantic partner who appreciates what a women can bring to your life, someone who will be there through the good and bad times, will be my best friend and my parter in crime so to speak..
I love to read to go to hockey games, would love to see the leafs win the cup but... and baseball games, I love to meet new people and a good night out for diner and a glass of wine.
While my full time job is a adminstrative assistant, in the summer I also umpire slo pitch, but don't think I'm all sports freek, while I enjoy my shorts, tank and sandles, I also enjoy dressing up sexy for a night out with my special man.
I'm recently separated and new to the dating game so to speak, it's very hard to to sit down and write "about me", can anyone truly write about themself? I feel the best way to tell someone about you, is to meet them, get to know them talk to each other, do we really ever know how to describe ourself?
I'm just a curious person who loves to meet new people, and laugh, it's the best medicine in life, and I don't sweat the small stuff, not into complicated situations,(yes we all have some complication, but it's how you handle it) nor into playing games, life is too short to play games and have drama, so I'm looking for someone who truly wants to meet, get to know each other, enjoy each other's company , taking a walk and have a great conversation about whatever comes to our minds.
I have no tollerence for dishonest people, it's a huge pet peeve of mine, might not like everything but hey come out clean and you can deal with anything.
So all your drama people or game people thanks but no thanks!
