About Me

It is always fun to meet the occassional new person, broaden one's horizons, act outside the box etc. Reviewing summer, I went to many ole favaourite lakes, Durance and Cameron, several times, and I made it to one new, to me, lake - Spectacle Lake. I went camping five times between May and August, and aim to camp more next summer. Cycling is something I really enjoy, and is so much more fun to do with at least one other person, and I got to cycle with my kid a fair bit this past spring and summer. I have a very nice Italian custom-made road bike I brought back from Italy. I also spent three years in Japan. I like planning, and am pretty organized, and my two career paths (education and mental health and addictions) are slowly coming to harmonize in a very meaningful way for me. Apparently compatible with Libra, Aquarius, Gemini, Capricorn, late Cancer and late Virgo if you are interested in the Astrology take. Monkeys like me are known to play well with rats and dragons too. I am the oldest child and am most compatible with the youngest or the only child. Since doing triathlons in Japan, and biking long in Italy, I now work on being satisfied with the lesser amount of exercise freedom I have since my awesome kid was born in ***single mom by choice). When my kid is in his Karate class, I am watching from a stationary bike or a yoga mat. When my kid is in his swimming lessons, I savour vigorous laps for the precious 30 minutes. When my kid is in his tennis lesson, I yoga. I teach yoga, as a sub, whenever I can too. I have my kid full-time, and am just starting to see glimpses of the potential to get more exercise - perhaps I will be doing triathlons with my son one day. So my favourite thing to do with a new person would be to exercise together, even if just at conversation pace. I have also started mindful meditation practice, with a group, this winter too. What makes me unique....I don't have tattoos and I don't want any. I don't drink coffee regularity, but if I do drink coffee, it has to be a decaf. Having a very keen sense of smell, coffee and garlic breath bother me. I have a bit of a Tomboy personality, but I do not swear, use derogatory humour, or assumptions, aimed at anybody. I succeed at some minor house hold improvements, such as putting up my own curtain rods or waterproofing my own pic-nic table. I would like to make my own shoe rack/tower one day. I do like being womanly, and take some pride in my appearance without feeling I need make-up- hey at least it is not going to get any worse. I am not the "princess" type, yet do not mind a door being opened for me or a tea being bought for me. I am usually pretty open-minded. I am told I have a great sense of humour and I really like it when I can make people laugh and smile. I aim to improve myself in various ways. Be the improvement in my diet (already no pork, beef, heavy carbs, white death (white sugar) or regular dairy consumption), parenting, social interactions, furniture arrangement, manners, personal hygiene or facial tics; I am always looking to improve myself ;) I like cooking. I am frequently told by my kid and my friends that I am a good cook. I like making Japanese food sometimes, like miso soup. I also make my own homemade granola bars with coconut oil *** butter, and homemade museli with my own roasted pecans. Now that it is colder, I make soup from my own stock. I am detail-oriented, and I value communication. I'm an occasional Walmart and Costco shopper (so why don't you shoot me baby!), yet am highly considering going vegan. Very occasional drinker. I don't like to socialize at bars. I aim for balance in diet, lifestyle, and on the yoga mat ;)I value friendship. I am not against getting into a sexual relationship, but it is definitely not the be all, end all for me - yet by no means am I asexual (interesting documentary titled by the very word, by the way). Most of my relationships start with friendship, and end with sometimes an even better friendship. My intention here is to make another friend, possibly more over time. I am not into internet chatting. Just *** enough, and what I aim for is less time in front of sceens. I do like to talk on the phone though, see if we get along voice to voice before stepping it up to face to face. ***, word processing and work related computer time is more than enough screen time. Yoga music is nice, like Shastro and Down City Dwellers. I used to think the best music is that that you can dance to, but over the years I have come to appreciate the mellower melodies as well. I pretty much enjoy most kinds of music except for rap and some country. Most of my listening when I need to drive (I prefer to cycle when distance and weather permit) is to CBC radio. My kid loves the Zucchero CD I brought back from Italy. I stay away from big concerts with big crowds that are really loud. I've volunteered at Bluegrass Music festivals a lot, and enjoy the Bluegrass Festival atmosphere. I will not respond to those with no pictures, near naked pictures, all distant pictures, or pictures with big sunglasses on.Meeting somebody is not a date to me - much too strong of a word. I would call it "meeting," and we can figure it out together...It is nice to check out each others voices over the phone before meeting. Guaranteed if we don't like each others voices, we will not like each other in person either.

    I enjoy new experiences and find new people fascinating. I have lived in some interesting places in some amazing countries. I run (doing my first half-marathon in March), gym, play beach volleyball and ultimate, and enjoy the adrenaline that comes with being active - particularly when coupled with fresh air. It'd be great if you'd like to get out and throw, kick, hit, or chase after something with me occasionally. That said, I'd probably identify more as a geek than a jock. I have an intensely curious mind and, as a result, (occasionally) struggle to find socially appropriate filters for my questions. On the flipside, it'll be tough to shock me with yours. I am fortunate enough to have a good home, an awesome career, and a great life. While this sees me perfectly independent, it doesn't mean I'm not willingly helpless in the arms of the right man. I am seeking connection: mental, physical, and eventually, emotional.I don't have any kids, but don't have a problem if you do. I am far from average, and most likely nothing like the last girl you dated.I, like my friends, can't believe I'm single!I have been known to crave: * Clear, concise (yet passionate) expression. * Subtlety and ostentation - and the talent to discern which is more appropriate. * Aural and tactile stimulation - though I have been known to appreciate things that look and taste good. * Wit and humour - carefully packaged and well delivered. * Reciprocal intrigue.Please don't send me the same message you copy and paste and send to all the girls. Your profile is a perfect place for this information. I appreciate your *** expression of interest. If I think it's possible we're compatible, I'll reply. If not, I'm sure you're clever enough to understand that as my right to recognise potential incompatibility, not as a character flaw. Do you really need a "Thanks. But, no thanks"?While anticipation can be a great feeling, a first date should just be a 45 minute chemistry check and shouldn't hold too much pressure. I'd see us meeting, sharing a quick drink, and enjoying some good conversation.Ideally, you would be:- intelligent; - attractive (not necessarily conventionally good looking);- tall (6'3" or over would be great);- open and honest; - full of wit, charm and humour; - willing to try new things; and - up for a challenge. The sexiest thing you can do for me is to make me laugh. Go ahead — try it!

    Woman. 43 years old. Zodiac sign: Leo.

    Looking for: man. In age: 33-53

    Love living in Perth and would like to meet somebody to spend my time with whilst I enjoy all it has to offer. I love running along the Swan river Or the coast and would ideally like to meet a guy who enjoys health and fitness but it's certainly not a deal breaker. I enjoy spending time at Perth's many beautiful beaches on the weekends, as well as chilling out with a coffee and a slice of cake in the many great coffee shops. I think physical attraction and chemistry are very important and hard to come by but I enjoy meeting new people and having new experiences whilst I wait for it to happen. I'm very easy going and easy to chat to and have a warm and honest approach to dating. I have the cheeky British humour and enjoy having a laugh and don't take myself very seriously on a day to day basis. That said I am a great listener and a reliable friend when the chips are down.I'm incredibly warm, open & honest and what you see is what you get. I'm hoping to meet a guy I can take care of who is also looking for that special someone. That said, I'm very content with my life and am by no means rushing into a serious relationship until a meet a guy who I feel will improve my life and me his.I am a practising Christian and whilst I am not naive enough to expect to meet a man on this site who also has a faith in God, I do expect any potential matches to respect my faith. If you would like to know more then send me a message and we can take it from there. If I don't feel there is any potential after reading your profile I probably won't respond but by the same token I'm secure enough in myself to not take offence if I don't receive responses to all my messages! I believe a man and a woman were created to love one another and to share everything in life so good luck with your search in finding your other half ??A coffee and a nice moist piece of carrott cake :o) the less pressure the better. If there is chemistry then great, if not we can just enjoy chatting and having a laugh!

    Hi! I'm a single, althletic, attractive, white professional female. I am an adult nurse practitioner;I really enjoy the independence I have with my job and my ability to help other people as a result. I used to be a competitive figure skater and am still quite active. I like hiking and riding my bike weekly. I also lift weights, but can't say that I like it too much, but so far it's preventing those baggy old lady arms from occurring!! What a deal, eh. I spend a lot of time with my puppy, a miniature dachshund named Sydney. I also help out a lot with my aging parents by cleaning house and taking care of their lawn. Other than that, I'm a typical female that enjoys shopping and talking on the phone.....scary, I know. I am looking for a really nice guy whom I am attracted to physically at first and then if more develops on an emotional level........great! He would demonstrate chilvalry and be caring, attentive, and thoughful. Most importantly, we would enjoy one another's company:)
