Date men and women from Canada / Ontario / Dundalk, 55 year old

Date men and women from Ontario, Canada. I'm a 55 year old widow, and enjoy a peaceful lifestyle in the country. I am very in tune with nature, enjoy canoeing, horseback riding, x-country skiing and motorcycling.
I work hard as a professional, and when I get home, I look forward to the peace and quiet, so I'm not at all interested in bars, or other loud places. While I enjoy evenings with friends, I'm not comfortable socializing with large groups of strangers. I am steadily employed in a managerial role, and I am not looking for anyone to support me, just a partner to share the joy of having a soul mate.
I'm someone who is very dedicated in a relationship, and has never even considered cheating outside of a relationship. To me, if someone is unhappy, then end the current situation and then look elsewhere. I love to engage with someone of above average intelligence and talk for hours jumping from subject to subject - and learning as well as sharing.
I am always open to trying new things, and just got my motorcycle license two years ago which I am really enjoying.
I lost my partner 3.5 years ago after a short, devastating illness, and finally feel ready to meet someone with who I am compatible.
Above all, I am a gentle, loving person who can not deal with aggression or fighting. I was raised by two loving parents who never fought, to my recollection, and that is the type of relationship I want to find for myself again.
I am very interested in what makes people tick, and am a very loyal and dependable friend. I fall into the Mensa category on the scale, but didn't enjoy participation in their activities. Although I get along with all types of people, I would prefer to meet someone who would challenge me mentally, as well as on many other levels. Also, it is very important to me that you be able to put together a sentence in proper English.
I am looking for someone who has reached the point in their life where they have learned that material possessions do not bring happiness. I have done a lot of evaluation of myself and come to understand that the most important things I am looking for in a partner is someone who understands the importance of verbal affirmation, quality time and the importance of hugs. For this reason I am not interested in long distance relationships - they haven't worked for me in the past and I don't want to waste the time on them again, so if you aren't at least in Ontario, please save both of us time :)
I have some strange and unique hobbies, including riding my motorcycle, and breeding and showing dogs. My kids are grown and I am a grandmother. Enjoy country music, quiet times, and nature in general. Usually willing to try new things, although I still can't see the logic in jumping out of a perfectly good plane!
