Well Hi there ;-)

 Where do I start?  I am sure you have read my profile at a dating site or wherever got this link, so I will go on from there and fill in a few gaps… 

I am employed in a few ways, I own and operate a small service business in the Vancouver lower mainland and have for the past 20 years…  But I have become very bored of that and have wanted to move into the property management side.  So I now (also) manage a few small properties and live in one of them near Cambie and Broadway for the past few years now. I also have a few other interests, I tend for other investors… One day,  I hope to own my own little kingdom and feel this side of life will afford me this opportunity in time…

I start here because my work takes a lot of my life (by choice) and therefore I need to start spending more time meeting new ppl if I am ever to find my true MizRight… My small group of friends, for the most part are married and…  well you know…  rather unsympathetic to my singleness dilemma… ;-)

As a forty(ish) year old, I've got a fair share of life under my belt, but I know there's a lot still left to "explore". Currently, I'm single and living in central Vancouver BC on my own. 

I was essentially married for the past eight years, with no kids, a cat r 2.  Married life was nice, really nice in hindsight, but being in a relationship with a girl who was not committed to the concepts of marriage was seemingly wasting my life away.

I myself have never been ‘married’ but have spent most of my time in longer relationships and like it there very much… I hate being single and all that goes with it. I have never been one for causal romances and find the whole dating thing more of a game than anything. Having never really dated anyone yet who made me want to hang from the chandelier, I felt it is important that I now pursue that more vigorously.

I have a few select people who care about me, and have the dreams and ambitions of most guys my age who long for the passion and stability of a committed relationship that's full of dreams and aspirations.

I've had good relationships, and I've had bad ones too. I've made some good choices, and also not so good choices. But I learned a lot from each step and feel they have brought me to a good space and time in my life and I am looking forward to the next chapter. 

I think I am a good person, extremely caring, giving, maybe to much so for my own good. Therefore I am also very guarded in this time of finding a new mate and need someone that is the same so that there be good harmony. 

My friends describe me as kind, gentle, loving, giving, caring, honest loyal, strait forward, huggable, fun to be with and around. 

I believe I have a lot to offer someone willing to take the chance and time to get to know me. I love to laugh and most of the time I wear a big warm smile on my face.

I have never been the class clown but if I am with someone that is playful and encouraging I can be quite the card and relentless when challenged with a relationship game or foreplay...

I do have one son and raised him on my own for the first 7 years of his life…  He now resides with his mother (her turn  ;-) I love being a dad but I am not so sure if I want more now... Although I would not totally reject the concept if my life were to change in that direction. 

I love to spend a lot of quiet time with the one I adore. I do believe that things as simple as a snow ball fight, long drive, walk or renting a movie with my best friend can be of far greater value then running out to some nice extravagant place where distractions are everywhere. I feel all the good times will fallow as a result of just that, no mater where we choose to go, or what we do.

I am loyal and detected to my relationships and have a good sense for understanding needs as they change. I am very romantic, love to kiss, hug and cuddle, and always looking for something new and exciting to keep things spicy.  I work hard to develop the most trusting and intimate relationship possible. Always looking for a new way to ensure our happiness and feelings of contentment.

Learning and personal growth is important to me. you will find me to collect the pertinent information and deduct the result myself rather then just believe what I am told. 

I am very much a thinker and carefully way out my decision before I act. I am sometimes looked upon as undecided when I am not satisfied with the data I have collected. But once decided I am adamant about my convictions but open to review where by new or relevant information is presented.

I am not what you would call the outdoors man but I do love camping (where there are NO PPL) and fishing, skiing, biking, hiking, boating,  and a few other things but I could do with a forceful friend dragging my ass out more often and I would like trying new things I have not yet pursued.

I tend to be hobby oriented and have done so many things I don't know where to start. So I will leave that to one of those ‘sit around and talk all night about us’, nights maybe…

I love computers (technology) and try to spend as much time as I can afford playing with all kinds of things. Apart from business end, I find its my little quiet times that allows me to explore and be creative. A break from the state of chaos that life can sometimes be,  where all things are 'just' as I made then. 

I am not the kind of guy that spends my time with bars, buddies, and stripers. Nor do I sits around all weekend watching sports on TV.  On occasion, I do enjoy going to a hockey game but to frequently find I am more frustrated then the Canucks and thus unenthused.

My relationship with my god is one that I do not choose to discuss, flaunt, or encourage others to believe. But if you are of learned state of mind, I'm not closed to a healthy debate in that we may further our understanding.

My political views are quite the same.

 I have lots more to tell you if you like, but it's your turn now and I would like to hear about you…  Please tell me about “you” as if I was a long time friend, a brother, a soul mate. After all, that's the person I may fall in love with and want to be with the rest of my life.

I Am Not  I am NOT interested in games, players, cyber sex, chatting to married or confused  girls.  I am not your party guy, a free ride, a free date or a nice looking guy to hang your arm on.  I am not your marital, drug, alcohol, family therapist or counselor. Nor am I your co-conspirator in crimes, gambling buddy or baggage handler. I am not your children's father or means of support, although I will be a concerted friend, guardian and appropriate roll model. I am not into bisexual activities, cheating or sharing.  Sex is an important ingredient to me. If you have any sexual hang-ups, we are marching to a very different drummer and your bliss probably lies elsewhere.

 She is my best friend, my girlfriend, my lover, my partner,  my soul mate, my wife. She is loyal, caring, honest, confident, monogamous and loving. Her kisses will melt me into a puddle. She loves me for who I am, and the things I am not, what I can do, and the love I have to give. 
 

 She has good family values, has great home making skills, has her own interests, friends, and aspirations but is always assured that they are also in the best interest of her relationship first. Not only is she known for her amazing manners and disposition - but famous for her random acts of kindness. 
 

 She is not embarrassed to express her inner most feelings to me as we have excellent communication skills & ability to solve problems, especially in the context of creating a mutually satisfying relationship. She works hard to keep her relationship in the forefront of her life.
 

 She is willing to take the time to become and stay my best-friend before all else. She is willing to proceed at a good pace and expects to be living together with in a year or so. She is not in to wasting our time if things aren't working. 
 

 She believes sex is a god given toy meant to be played with but Not squandered. She would be open and interested in experimenting with gentle forms of erotic pleasure. She is not necessarily experienced, and I do enjoy a little shyness, but be willing to submit to her desires. She has the confidence to know the difference between the successful woman she is and her submissive side that longs to be pleased. 
 

 She is nice looking and keeps good care of herself but is not all caught up in superficiality. She wears jasmine perfume sometimes and keeps her hair long just because she knows 'I like it'.
 

 She enjoys similar things to me.  has compatibility in temperament and intellect with a good sense of humor and likes to play and joke around a lot. She is creative and inspired by nature. She knows at least 6 funny jokes - 3 of them clean enough to tell my mom and never talks like a sewer rat (in public).
 

She likes  books, movies, computers, hobbies, travel, camping, fishing hiking, biking, skiing trying new things and keeps in shape doing it. A handy girl is a big asset, as she enjoys home building and doing projects together. 
 

 She can cook a decent meal, bake something with out the fire department attending, She understands her need to nest and 'helps' to keeps our home clean and well organized. She is creative and likes to play house sometimes.
 

 Like me, she is not so much interested in material possessions or the size of ones bank account. But dose expect we will develop dreams and will aggressively work as a teem to achieve them. 
 

 If you are seriously looking to find that special person to share your life with... Like me, have a well thought out concept of your goals, needs and expectations, I am looking forward to hearing from you... 
 

I don't really care about how you look, or the way you think you look. I'd much rather see for myself, what I see…  So tell me about that little girl inside, that longs to be loved, held and cherished...

PS.
Its nice to see you are replying to personal ads, I feel there are way too many ppl out there all hung up on expectations and not willing to work at it… It says a lot about a person's willingness and I am sure you know, any good relationship takes more work than most things… So that's a good start...
