Date women from Canada / Ontario / Ottawa, 51 year old

Date someone special from Ottawa, Canada. I am a positive, kind and caring person. I love sports and am very active. I'm looking for someone who shares my interests in sports, travel, dining and great wine. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, but also like to curl up with a good book. I'm looking for someone who is active and enjoys hockey, skating, golf, tennis and skiing. I'm told I have a great sense of humour and would like that in a partner too.

Meet a soulmate from Ottawa, Canada. I live in the city but enjoy the country life. I could be described as, well a nice person. I'm trustworthy, I love my kids, I am independant and open to doing just about anything that sounds fun or interesting. I like the outdoors (during all four seasons) and winter get-aways. I enjoy a cold beer on a hot day and a glass of wine (red or white) during dinner hour and can dress up very nicely for an evening/dinner out.
I like to be around someone who smiles often and laughs out loud, Someone with a positive outlook, takes commitment seriously but doesn't take life too seriously and wants to have a one-man - one woman relationship.
I'm attracted to people who are down to earth, outdoorsey and are honest. I admire someone who likes to putter (like me) and who won't mind fixing things (not like me) and has a general tendancy to look on the bright side of life. I like the kind of guy who is most comfortable wearing a ballcap and jeans, but can also wear a sport jacket or suit and make it look like it's natural. I'm looking for someone I can talk to openly and easily, someone who likes to give and accept affection.
I'm proud and grateful for my two (now grown-up) kids, my good health, and for having a job that keeps me interested throughout the day. I like exercising, get-togethers with family which can sometimes be noisy (guitars and sing-alongs) but are always fun, and spending time with friends. I also appreciate quiet and intimate conversations, dinner date nights at home and days in the great outdoors. I enjoy fishing, hiking / snowshoeing in the forest, gardening, boating, camping, skiing and find all of those things would be so much more enjoyable if I was doing it with someone I was in love with. Evenings for two; like cuddling up on the couch, having a glass of wine by the fireplace, or sharing a bowl of popcorn while watching a movie are some of my favorite "doing nothing" times.
Only my closest friends would know that although I come across as outgoing and confident, underneath I am sometimes quite shy. I occasionally like to do things on the spur of the moment but I don' consider myself reckless.
I'm looking for a long-term relationship - someone to share the rest of my life with. That person would be someone who has the abilty or at least desire to understand others rather than judge them. Someone who is caring and lovable; someone who enjoys the country and the outdoors, but is also enjoys a romantic or special evening out. A partner and friend who is able to sometimes just sit still, and take it easy to read a book, or sit out on the beach or deck and just chat but also likes to get out and about with doing "things" with their honey. I would like someone who will appreciate me for all my strengths and my foibles and who would expect the same in return.
My passions: I can't say that I have a strong passion for anything in particular rather most everything in general, but some favorites include dancing; regular exercise, road trips to wander about in small towns/villages; holiday's oversees - especially in warm climates in the dead of winter; Oh...one more thing, I like hold hands; and to give and receive kisses.... just because.

Date a woman from Ottawa, Canada. I'd say that those who know me would describe me as being friendly and outgoing, and that I enjoy meeting new people. I tend to be well organized, and pay attention to details. I see myself as being someone who is creative and intellectually curious. Physical affection is important to me, as is a strong emotional connection. I believe good communication is vital to a successful relationship, and my ideal match is someone who shares some of my interests and most of my values.

I am a firm believer of the following aphorisms and tried to live them out in my daily life:
--------------------------------------
* It is more blessed to be able to give than to receive.
* Life is filled with pain and sufferings, but also with hope and love.
* It is better to have a bigger heart than a bigger house.
* When afflictions are not eliminated, our wisdom cannot arise.
* Love is a source of strength but must be supplemented with “Tolerance” of humiliation, forbearance and patience to enjoy peace of mind.
* When blessings are not sown, how can we hope to be blessed?
* True happiness is measured by love and not by oneРІР‚в„ўs possessions.
-------------------------------------
The above are just a few examples of many that I can share. Contact me by email first if you want to learn more. I am not an on-line-chat person.

Date a soulmate from Ontario, Canada. I am a positive, active person who enjoys a variety of activities, and enjoy all four seasons that our climate and location provide. I have a job that I enjoy but always ensure that it does not overflow into personal time. Life is too short not to be enjoyed. I see the glass as half full (as opposed to half empty).
I am looking to meet someone who enjoys life, has a sense of humour (appreciates Monty Python Mel Brooks to name a couple forms of humour), is honest, to enjoy time and activities together, but respecting individual time. To find a starting point and see where things go from there. Someone who is comfortable in casual or more formal settings. I am active with a local dog rescue group as a volunteer and foster dogs, so enjoying animals is important.
I enjoy going out (movies, dining out, walks under the stars, special events, museums, sports events, concerts to name a few), and quiet times at home. I go to a gym (2-3 a week with a trainer), walk daily. Time for family and friends is important - my children are 24 and 22, but we still spend time together frequently.

Meet a woman from Ontario, Canada. Who I am
I am down-to-earth, friendly easy going generous person; more like the girl next door than the prom queen. I don't pretend to be anything other than who I am. I lead a very active life (cycling, horseback riding, going to the gym, downhill skiing, skating). However I also appreciate having down time to relax (read a book, listen to music, garden, cook).
I enjoy being outside year round. I find pleasure in simple things; making “fresh tracks” down the hill, bluebird skies on a mountain top, watching the stars come out at night, listening to rain fall on a tin roof, watching lightening storms, listening to loons call, crickets chirping, bull frogs croaking, great conversation, the smell of wood burning (fireplace in winter, camp fires in summer), s’mores and the magic of fireworks. For some that might sound corny but I am only looking for one with whom those experiences esonate.
I have been blessed with two wonderful daughters (young adults who are off using their wings I have encouraged them to use) and good friends who I love to entertain; nothing like a night of good food, great conversation with a guitar thrown into the mix. I love to go out to see the occasional play, show or concert. Like most women I love to go out dancing. IРІР‚в„ўm a great cook so when I do go out for dinner, I prefer to be adventurous and try dishes that I cannot or have not made. For me, dinner out is about the quality and the opportunity to learn new combinations.
I am somewhat adventurous in life as well as I am willing to try new things/experiences. I have gone bungee jumping, but I draw the line at skydiving as I have as yet to find a reason to jump out of a perfectly functioning aircraft. Zip lining, para-sailing, hand gliding are on my bucket list. Sailing and kayaking are past interests I would love to re-explore.
I love to travel but tend to take that “road less taken” as I want to experience the culture and places I have traveled to. A horseback cattle drive into the Rockies or through the African plains, kayaking with Killer whales in the Queen Charlotte islands, swimming with sea turtles on the Great Barrier Reef are my type of holidays. Compared to some, I have not traveled extensively, but I have been fortunate to have dove with humpback whales in Whitsunday islands, dove at the underwater national park off the coast of Cozumel, climbed the pyramid at Chichen Itza, visited the caves in Porto where Port wine is aged, driven over the french alps, gambled at the Grand Casino in Monte-Carlo and explored Mangrove forests in Costa Rica. I am looking for someone who wants to plan an adventure with me, even if it is only a weekend get away.
I know what I am looking for in a man.... I am looking to meet a good person who has a love of life and the outdoors, is laid back, with a good sense of humor about life and wants to date with the intent of it developing into something long term. Someone active in life, curious about the world and others and is of course, affectionate. If you have known bitterness you have gotten beyond it and look forward not backwards. I am looking for my best friend, my equal, and the one who makes me smile every day. I am ready to share lifeРІР‚в„ўs experiences with someone who compliments my life and I theirs.
I was raised with small town/old fashion values, one of which is to always reply to every email (even if only to say, "thanks but no thanks").

Date someone special from Canada. I like to think that I am truly a happy person, and that my attitude to life brings happiness to others too. (Hence the rather lame username, though the 8000 was a bit random.) I find myself single but not lonely, proud of what I have achieved in life but with many more things I'd like to do, and keen to find someone to do them with. I like ordinary things like going to a movie, having a nice dinner out, or taking in a concert, and also more adventurous things like traveling to exotic places.

Meet a soulmate from Canada. I am a friendly, extroverted, petite woman with my own goals and interests. I enjoy a balanced life of work, artistic pursuits, physical activity, and relaxation time. Sometimes, I have a tendency to take on a bit too much, as there are just so many interesting things to do.
By nature emotional yet very pragmatic, I approach the challenges and joys of life with a mixture of both. I prefer to sit for awhile with decisions that are important--but once I do something I will be focused and very involved. I feel very committed to my friends and those I love.
I love attending dance and classical music concerts, and I perform with a choir and in musical theatre regularly. Working out 3-4X a week and living a healthy lifestyle are important to me.
For fun, I love travelling and experiencing new cultures and new foods, eating out, shopping, and meeting new people. But I am also just as happy to hang out, or spend a night in to relax with a good meal, a movie, or a book.
At this point, I am looking to take a new direction in life, and to find a partner to share a longterm relationship of intimacy, passion, and commitment.

Date a woman from Canada. i am a man's woman love to fish and be in nature..... if i could... all the time!!!! I love to laugh...all the time. I'm in great shape and look younger than my 50yrs. I am very independant and would like the same from a man. I'm looking for life. I don't like needy and poor me..oh yah and teeth... would be nice. I am very honest maybe too much sometimes but that's me in a nut shell. I live for cottage country life,dogs and anything to do with fishing and dogs. oh and dogs!!! I do ride and i also drive the ride.I don't lie. It's just not in me. plain old honesty. Truth hurt's oh well.

. I'm single and looking for an open, honest man who is willing to share his thoughts and does not back down from any conversation or discussion and does not avoid telling the truth by play on words. Someone who is affectionate and loving and understands time apart whether when arguing or work demands - that it does not give freedom to cheat. I have good family values and believe in faithfulness - other than that would like to travel and love companionship for every day living, cooking, watching tv, walks, etc.

. I've met some amazing friends through here.
I'm realistic, realizing that we all have had a past, but, I have dealt with mine and while still can sympathize with those still dealing with issues, I have moved beyond that and am now looking to meet someone who is ready and able to devote time to a relationship with future potential.
My children are very important to me but are now grown and on thier own so this is all about me and finding that one person that enhances my life and me theirs.
I don't want to ramble on as I think chatting and getting to know each other once there is that initial interest is the way to go.
Let's take a chance...you never know
PS...I love cats but am very allergic to them. I do have one of those dogs that is as I put it "organic" and good for those susceptable to allergies.

. I am a happy woman and I have a good life. I think relationships are a wonderful thing. All that to say, Romeo and Juliet got it right; it is about chemistry (and maybe a well-placed balcony). But there are other important things too like intelligence, kindness, and humour.
My friends would describe me as warm and smart and charming and lovely. What makes me smile? A walk in the woods, waves and sand, sunsets, thunderstorms, flowers in the spring (ah, lilacs), a good book, happy children, a beautiful garden, travelling to new and interesting places, a good giggle.
I like to laugh and enjoy good conversation. I can juggle, sing, and sail a boat (though not all at the same time). I was born on the west coast. So I consider myself to be half-ocean, which probably explains why I love being by the sea. I am very grateful for the things I have and for the amazing people I have shared my life with along the way.
I am looking for someone who shares a passion for words and ideas and people, a kindred spirit. If this resonates with you, be sure to say hello.

. Life is wonderful if only we take the time to notice. I know that you are pretty wonderful too and I would like to take the time to find that out for myself.
I like triathlons, camping, good classical and rock music, art and white wine... I would like to share living with an equal partner who has integrity, loves the earth, and is smart and funny.
I am a single mom of 3 fun and pretty together teenagers. I don't own a TV and really, what am I missing?News and lots of information and fantastic music comes to me from CBC radio.
I like to read, but usually can't get more than a few pages read before I fall asleep.
In a partner I would like an active, smart, funny caring individual who is also open, communicates very well, and is affectionate. Have you figured out why your last relationship ended the way it did and what your part in it was? If you can honestly say yes and have resolved to change things up, then write to me. I wish to live and love wholeheartedly.
What did the Dali Lama order in the pizza shop?
Make me one with everything.

You have to be kind understanding, soft spoken, fun, like children and animals ...
