Date men and women from Canada / Ontario / Fergus, 51 year old

Date people from Ontario, Canada. Hi and thanks for stopping by.
I consider myself lucky and blessed to have great friends and family. One never gets through life alone without friends and family. Also we are here for a brief peroid of time and there is no return ticket. So make the best of your gift of life while you are here. I don't dwell on the thought of what might have been........that is the past. Live life in the present and look foward is my perspective.I have been to University which was a life changing experience for me. I have done quite well for myself since moving from Montreal in 1999. I work in the airline industry and enjoy a trip every now and then. I am quite lucky to be able to fly anywhere in the world with a travel partner. I would enjoy being with someone who enjoys to travel a few times a year. Maybe a few weekend getaway's to the Caribbean in the Winter months.
I am a romantic at heart, affectionate, playful and altruistic. I am a laid - back individual as most of my co-workers and friends would tell you. But not glued to the couch. I love to go for long walks, hikes or mountain biking. I do love cats and dogs. I have a Maine Coone Cat I rescued from a shelter 6 years ago. I also love horses and the joy they bring to me. I visit a Hobbie Farm near my home to bring treats and just walk with them. It is a great feeling to earn the trust of such a regal animal as a horse.
What I am seeking in a partner is companionship and a longterm relationship. A "best friend" that I can trust and her trust me. A person with morals, good family values, honest and can make decisions based on experience and rational thought. How much you earn or what you do for a living does not interest me. It's the character of the person that matters most. I am not shy to express what I feel as long as it does not hurt the feelings of someone. I am also very loyal to my partner and will be your best friend too not just your soul mate. I have been told I am a great BBQ'er and I can cook. That is a passion I love and all the better with a partner and share the meal together with a fine wine and by candle light.
Communication is very important to me. I would like to meet someone who enjoy's getting out there and doing it rather than thinking about it. I do enjoy a night in or out; dinner and candle light just the two of us.I enjoy reading a good book and going to a play. I have learned from the loss of family and friends that life is short and when my time comes I want to be able to say I did my Bucket list. I have a few items left on the list.
Thx
