Born and raised in TO, working in the IT industry, I'm as responsible a grown up as life requires, but I have a youthful spirit which keeps the kid inside alive.

I'm not looking for any players or mind games - just someone to get to know as friends with the possibility of a relationship if all goes well.

Common characteristics my potential partner and I will share are: intelligence, sense of humour, confidence, health-conscious, strong family values, strength of character and a down to earth fun loving nature.

With differences enough to learn from and about one another, inspiring both our continual personal growth and growth together.

We're obviously more than a list of qualities; ultimately it comes down to a chemistry that defies description - a special connection between two people...
Somewhere in the balance of commonalities, differences and chemistry lies the magic of two people who complement each other.

I have a variety of interests, to name a few:
a wide range of music especially old school and retro (MJ-RIP!), dancing, going to the movies/ the theatre, photography, travel whether exploring the culture through historical sites or relaxing taking in the beauty of the environment eventually trying out some new adventure like parasailing, segwaying, etc... oh! and Disneyworld/ Universal Studios (for the kid in me!) a unique travel experience all its own ....(I read a biography on Walt - it's inspiring, where the imaginings and wonderment of youth can lead)
...bonus points if you enjoy shopping, or at least have a mild affection for it...




So, here we all are in this online dating world, "giving it a shot", but it's such an awkward place to "meet" - virtual strangers (in both senses of the word) trying to connect by a picture and a profile and some email exchanges. Getting to know a person in the real world with the spoken word is more natural to me than the written word in this virtual one...

Not a fan of emailing for a long time, if there's any interest let's talk on the phone, get to know each other, to see if we'd care to meet for a coffee/tea.

The first date is really more of a first meet.
