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...

I live a very happy life and would like to expand that with someone special. Could this be you?I am a very independent professional and looking for the same. Where we can't wait to see each other. Discuss events of our day. All the simple pleasures life has to offer. A true partnership.

    I am single with no children (not that I don’t like children because I do). I am looking for a friend first and I’ll know him when I meet him if you are the one. I'm pretty open minded but just can't be bothered with anyone who wants play games. Just be real and I'd like to talk and maybe meet up sometime. No games, no drama....Not Interested....I DO NOT want a long-term texting relationship....if we get along well enough after a few conversations, I want to meet. I'm not trying to fast forward a serious relationship, but you can't even build a friendship without getting to know and spending time with someone. That being said, I work, I go home, occasionally hang out, sleep and do it all over again the next day. It's not easy meeting someone if you're not a regular bar hopper/social butterfly. I have a great job with awesome co-workers. I have two dogs that I love and a small circle of awesome friends. I have a good sense of humor and hope you do as well. I listen to ALL kinds of music, depending on my mood....I enjoy country, modern rock, 80s hair bands, 80s rock and roll. I'm looking for someone who has a great sense of humor, has good communication skills, and believes in monogamy and honesty. I love concerts, bar bands and festivals; and not necessarily in that order. . I'm open-minded and non-judgmental and believe in second chances(depending). I prefer someone who is like-minded. As I'm sure most of us say after a failed relationship....I swore I'd never get into another one, but after some serious soul searching, I find that I really prefer being in a relationship quite honestly, being single kind of sucks. I like to fish, camp, some sports( baseball) and anything that leaves me doing something outside. It is impossible to find someone that will be everything we “think” we want. The best we can hope for is finding someone who fits” most” of what we think we want. FYI- Please dont trade phone numbers and waist my time if your only looking to picture share im really not interested... Go with the flow

    Hi there - thanks for reading my profile. Some of my hobbies are hosting family events, playing cards and taking walks. I'm on here looking to meet someone, at the minimum gain a friend; and at the maximum find someone I can grow a relationship with. Good luck in your search!! I think a first meeting would be over a cup of coffee/tea - so that we can talk and get to know each other.
