About Me

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my profile. I have a life long love of learning, experiencing and sharing. Enjoying sports, keeping active, home repairs/renovations (bought my own brand new place 4 years ago), and gardening keep me busy and I'm ready to share these interests with the right man, should he happen along without a steady stream of addictions and outrageous hangups. I am a strong, free thinking woman who likes a challenge, and will only ask for help when I positively cannot do it myself, hopefully before I scream, "I Surrender!" My friends tell me I am witty and missed my calling as a comedian. I love to write, read: am a history and nature enthusiast, adore a good thought provoking novel, and love satire and nonfiction, and action/adventure fiction, try to keep up on current events, ask many questions, (and actually stop long enough to listen to the answers), watch a good flick and almost always have the music on. I do enjoy quiet alone time too. Being the unwilling sacrificial victim of a Scottish mother's cuisine, I love to cook, and bake edible goodies for one and all. I'm socially aware, and respectful of others, and my environment. I am comfortable in elegant and casual attire, and can effortlessly adjust from spikes to hiking/gum boots = great investments. I seek to understand first, and then be understood. I like change, exploration, and adventure. I have two active dogs also needing exercise, and down time.I have been separated for 10 years and divorced for 7 years, am an independent, hard working single mom of two teenagers. I avoid drama and conflict, and refuse to reward poor behaviour, or engage in silly nonsense, hurtful game playing. I understand at times it's best to step away from unhealthy situations for the time being. Sometimes things go on the bucket list, and sometimes they go on the phucket list. The beauty of aging is knowing the difference... I am currently getting ready to complete my teaching degree, so I will be free to work, and travel anywhere my heart desires: which is my ultimate master plan, should I remain single. The light at the end of the tunnel is getting bigger, and hopefully isn't a freight train! However, I see myself on a plot of land with some animals, fresh air, peace, quiet, and tranquility. Our family owned a cottage at Shawnigan Lake for over 30 years, and I have always had an overwhelming pull towards the Cobble Hill area, and other blissfully uncomplicated island places. I thrive at my challenging and rewarding career which thankfully to this day, remains stimulating for me. I've thoroughly enjoyed said job most every day over the past 2+ decades, making and maintaining solid, mutually respectful friendships along the way with colleagues and students alike. I am active, social, honest, loyal, reliable, and generous. I have however recently learned through a course I attended, that doing more than my fair share leads to burn out and resentment, so will disengage immediately were that to happen in any relationship again. I have been raised with a strong set of core values that I firmly believe and have passed onto my children, whom are currently, firmly engrossed in full-scale resistance, all-knowing teenage mode. I am flexible, a good listener, and see the humour in every situation; albeit, the stressful ones, later on... I don't take life too seriously (always have a zinger on the tip of my tongue), have an abundance of energy, and don't do idle well. I remain close friends with elementary & high school pals, family friends, all former boyfriends, and my large extended family, all whom appreciate quality British humour.- It looks as if my daughter will be competing in the World Youth Track &; so am busy researching/planning a holiday around what is sure to be an ultra cool experience with her team mates, and their families. Now considering coffee smuggling as a new hobby rather than hounding my friends to buy 3 million boxes of chocolate almonds, cookie dough, or plants, get their vehicles washed, and donate their empty bottles/cans to what feels like the endless fundraising theme of the month. I am uninterested in being lengthy pen pals as I am a get on with it, sort of a lass. My career dictates decency, which isn't a struggle for me; as well, employees in education are held to a higher level of public scrutiny. I strive for best personal achievement, harmony and balance, but as soon as it's no longer fun or nurturing - I'm done with that activity. I seldom drink after living in an abusive alcoholic nightmare marriage with an adult child masquerading as a responsible partner, and parent. I understand only too well there is no reasoning with irrational people, and have no desire to be sucked into that vortex of dysfunction ever again. Thus, have zero tolerance for people choosing a lifestyle that's controlled by substances in my personal life. I don't feel my life is lacking anything other than a compatible adult male willing to keep up and share in my interests, and perhaps support my goals, as I would his. I've heard that other women choose dating, but nothing serious; which is apparently a cryptic code for advertising a skank fest with complimentary STDs. Totally not my aspiring quest, so chose looking for a relationship to hopefully weed out the Charlie Sheen type worshipers who seriously wonder why their marriages tanked. Grossly unappealing. One last thing: Must understand SNL humour, and be kind to all animals :) No pressure get to know each other chat at a mutually satisfactory locale, that hopefully serves beverages of all kinds, and quality food which I appreciate all the more if I don't have to always prepare it, accompanied by good music. Perhaps we could exchange the top 3 stupidest/smartest things we've done as an ice breaker...

    Woman. 48 years old. Zodiac sign: Virgo.

    Looking for: man. In age: 45-55

    Choosing a category is tough.....I mean most of us are here for the same reason. It's an opportunity to meet someone you may not have otherwise. Nothing can be determined until you meet in person and I believe, things happen naturally from there......a coffee, a drink, a few dates or maybe we really enjoy each others company and it grows into a "relationship"????????? Possibilities are endless if you aren't afraid to take a chance. I'm very content, like my job, love my family, friends and time off! Happiness is not something I am looking for....as I already am.....if I stumble upon a man that can enhance that it would be an amazing bonus! I work hard and value my job. I love the simple things, sipping on a coffee chatting with a friend...........hearing my boys laugh and seeing their smiles.......watching a good movie or being curled up with a great book.....simple dinners, great wine and amazing company! I really am looking for that tall, dark, handsome, confident, independent and charming man to enhance my already wonderful life!!!!!! I'm often told I look much younger than my age....you can be the judge. With that being said I'm always attracted to younger men...just the way it is. I want to feel that tug and explosion of wonderful in the pit of my stomach, chemistry that cannot be explained. I believe eyes are the window to the soul and without meeting and being able to read all that you cannot from this mode of communication......who really knows?????....I'm an optimist and I believe people come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime.....I'm not afraid of rejection...it's part of life...obviously we aren't all compatable or we wouldn't need this site. The excitement lies in finding out......I have a great sense of humour (witty and sarcastic), try not to take life too seriously. I've been on my own for a long time.....and really like the person I've become. I've raised two boys and have an amazing relationship with both! Family time is something I truly cherish.I think the man that would fit into my life would possess some of these qualities: -a great smile (genuine)-independent-honest and true to himself-accepting we are indiviuals that want to share in each others life (not be each others life)-healthy to a moderate degree-not afraid to dream -positive -able to create a balance between work and play-young at heart-.......let's begin! I think we should fly to some exotic island, have a light lunch, red wine, a walk along the beach while talking and laughing..........Yes, my mom read me tooooo many fairy tales.
