I'm pretty happy with where I'm at in life but would like to meet someone to share new experiences with.

I have a challenging job that I love (pediatric cardiac nurse) and I'm fortunate in that it allows me to have quite a bit of free time to do the other things I enjoy in life. When I'm not working, I'm running or walking on the seawall, riding my bike, snowboarding, going to the gym, doing yoga, or going to concerts (love a road trip to see a favourite band). When I just want to chill out I like to read at the beach or in a coffee shop, try out new recipes, hang out with my nieces and nephews, meet friends at a pub or lounge for a drink, try out new restaurants, or get cozy on the couch with a movie and glass of wine.

I do some form of exercise every day, I'm fit and healthy. I like nice clothes and I'm fashionable but don't like shopping (2 hours is my max:). I will never ask you to go to the mall on the weekend :)

I really like to travel and try to go on a couple of trips every year. I lived in Japan for four years (I used to be an English teacher), which was an amazing experience and sparked my love for, and interest in, other cultures.

Little things I love....music, reading, dark chocolate, spending time near the ocean, red wine, storms, a cold beer in the sun, healthy food, and potato chips. It's all about balance. :)

What am I looking for..... I'm looking to meet a guy who is also active but likes to just chill out sometimes, knows what being a gentleman is all about, enjoys exploring the city as well as getting out into nature, is positive, and happy with where he is at in life (very important) and has an idea of what he wants in his future. Please be honest about your age and please have a shirt :) Ultimately I'm looking for a long term relationship but it of course needs to start with dating and a friendship.

I think coffee is a good start to see if there is chemistry.
