Date men and women from Canada / Quebec / Saint-Lazare, 49 year old

Date someone special from Canada. Love is like a bed of roses, there are many thorns. The path to true happiness lies in learning to avoid the thorns, while enjoying the roses.
Oh the pitfalls of being over 40 and looking for love… Where to look… My social like revolves around work and my own neighborhood friends. How do you let others know you’re single?? Do you wear a T-shirt?? Cozy up to the woman squeezing the melons at the grocery store or do you sign up for an Internet site and see what happens.
Nothing ventured.. nothing gained .. I have been told.. yet I read through the profiles.. some say all the right things… Those sweet sweet words…looking for my soul mate, ready to take a chance, want to wake up every morning in your arms, love of my life, the missing piece we are looking to hear.. How many are sincere… how many are not??
At my age and this place in my life … I don’t NEED to be with someone.. . I WANT to be with someone for me... someone who brings out the best in me, makes my eyes smile and sets my heart beating.. someone who is serious about the future, employed , and not afraid of an independent funny man.
