Date men from Canada / Ontario / Ottawa, 45 year old

Date a man from Ottawa, Canada. This is completely new to me and I'm not sure how much I should write.
Should I keep it "short and sweet" with a 60 second "infomercial", or write an essay?
Maybe I'll just start off with some random thoughts...
- I love vegetarian food....usually with steak or chicken.
- The 3 live Sens games that I saw last year is exactly 3 more sporting events than I've ever watched on TV....ever!
- I've never learned to play euchre.
- Being a dad allows me to legitimately keep playing with Lego.
- I've never jumped out of a perfectly good airplane.
To elaborate...
I am a "dad". My two young children are with me 50% of the time. I love being a father. I cherish my time with them, and the activities we do together. That being said, it's very important that you either have your own children (and) or understand the importance of family.
Career wise, I'm exactly where I had worked towards. Although the work I do is in IT, the end result goes towards helping people. I very much enjoy what I do, but am by no means a workaholic.
Although my career has me in front of a computer all day, I enjoy working with my hands. I've always done my own home renos. I also used to work on my own cars, until the day a tune-up required very expensive diagnostic equipment!
In my spare time, you won't find me watching sports on TV. I'll occasionally go to a live game, but don't really follow any particular sport. Seeing the occasional live event is much more fun. Getting out and doing something is even more fun!
I do enjoy watching movies, and occasionally get caught up on a couple TV series that I like to follow.
I keep active with strength training and martial arts several times week. I also enjoy getting outside for seasonal activities such as skating on the canal in the winter and paddling/boating/sailing in the summer. I'm not a runner, but do enjoy biking. This year I HAVE to try roller blading!
Wow! Guess I've gone the "essay" route...
My taste in music is a fairly broad spectrum of classical at one end to Neo-Medieval (Corvus Corax) on the other. However, I've never been a fan of country.
I like getting together with friends at a pub or going to see a live band. Bluesfestis always good and am looking forward to Folkfest.
What am I looking for?...
I'd like to meet someone who is easy going, has a passion for life, established in their career, a great sense of humor, is drama free, and has a relatively active lifestyle, while still being able to appreciate a healthy balance of "down time".
Ultimately, it would develop into a long term relationship, but it all has to start somewhere.
I'll stop here since I've already botched the notion of "less is more"! =)
If this resonates with you, don't be shy...
Otherwise, best of luck in your search.

Meet single man from Ontario, Canada. I'm finally single again after a grueling 12 years. I have a 6 year old son that has put new meaning into my life.
I am a very open, honest, easy going, good natured guy. I'm reliable, hard working, respectful and kind. I drink beer regularly (must be the German blood) but almost never get drunk or drink anything stronger than wine.
I have a good sense of humor, and I like to keep busy, I rarely just sit and relax.
I spend as much time as I can at my cottage where I go boating, dirt biking, sailing, socialize, etc, or do house upkeep or projects, etc.
There never seems to be enough time, Its the kind of place you wish you could just stay at forever.
I play in a band for fun, we have a few shows booked at some small festivals this summer. I'm self employed, kind of a hi-tech Mr Fix It. I travel to my customers around Montreal and Ottawa. Ya I could go on and on.......but enough about me for now.
Yes, I'm into finding "The One" and "True Love" but realistically, I'd just like to meet someone nice for some happy times with no high expectations to start, get out and have some fun casually. You would have to be attractive, easy going, and good natured. I am not attracted to extra thin or larger women, I don't mind a few extra pounds... but put it this way, if your butt is bigger than mine I am not interested, sorry. Other than that I'm pretty open minded. The rest is up to you....

Date a man from Canada. Thoughtful and easygoing. Basically contented with life in general. Proud of accomplishments but recognize limitations. Wonder what could have been and with whom it could have been, but accept the current arrangement.

Date someone special from Canada. fun to be with, fit, educated, travelled, creative, loyal - love great wine and casual conversation, dining out, exploring new places, being spontaneous, trying new things, travelling to new places, playing hockey, golfing and much more...

Meet single man from Canada. I am comfortable talking to nearly anyone, and am quickly trusted and frequently sought as a source of advice. I cannot be certain why that is exactly, but it has remained consistent throughout my entire life.
People say I am smart, funny and warm. I have to remember to pay them fro that.
I have no idea who I am trying to attract. I sincerely doubt that people's idea of their perfect mate are an actual perfect match. You just never know.

. Basically to find some one that can give me butterflies in my belly. Someone that I can't wait to get home to. The rest just has to fall in to place. Nothing specific, because Im a flexible kind of guy. This is very hard to do because I hate writing about myself. See you in the funny pages.

. Can 200 characters really describe what I am looking for. This reminds me of having to write an essay or a report in school and having to add characters in order to meet the minimum word requirements. I really only need 9 characters to describe chemistry but since I need to write 200 characters I will have to repeat chemistry a few times. Chemistry, chemistry chemistry which is the equivalent of location location location in real estate.

. I am an easy going guy who likes to laugh and be around positive people. I am sensitive and caring and have been known to shed tears when moved. Friends will tell you I'm a good listener and someone they can rely on.
My life has been in transition for some time now, and it's only recently that I really realized what is meaningful in life and what is meaningless. Family, Time, Health, Living For The Moment, Being/Sharing /Experiencing With That Special Person....
I have lived and worked overseas and from that experience learned to appreciate different cultures and traditions.
Needless to say I enjoy travelling and trying new things, but more importantly, I believe I've become a more understanding person.
I am looking for someone who is easy going, passionate, and secure with herself.
Cheers!!
