I have lived in Camrose for 3 years now and I believe it to be a beautiful place to live. In the few short years I have lived here, I have met some of the most influential people of my life. I believe that by using this service I may also meet more amazing people than those I would normally meet. Why not use all available resources to help me find more amazing people to have in my life?

I have an open mind, and have the ability to look at a problem with an impartial judgment in order to find a solution. I am empathetic towards people and their needs. I'm a very observant person, often times my friends tell me that I'm too observant. I loathe cruelty, viciousness and detest conflict between people, so I do my best to cooperate and compromise with everyone around me. My ideal for my own circle and for society as a whole is unity.

You know what they say — life's a journey, not a destination. That's something I take to heart. Laid back and low-key, I like to take my time and savor each moment. If that means taking the long way to get somewhere, I'll do it, especially if it's packed with plenty of things to see along the way.

I appreciate the simple things in life — from sunsets to skylines to starry nights. I enjoy taking a moment to breathe in all that the world has to offer, even if I have to go a little out of my way to do it. So lets pack up the car and get ready to hit the road!

I enjoy cooking and I especially love creating dishes for my close friends to enjoy. The smiles and expressions of joy on their faces make all that time and effort worth it. Get me near a BBQ, and prepare to be blown away!

I have a healthy concern for the quality of my relationships, I can keep track of my own needs and desires in a relationship and I have a tremendous capacity for loving and caring about a partner. I am always striving for personal growth and achievement, and I tend to be realistic about my life’s circumstances.

The qualities I would like my match to have include:

*Someone who can express affection through touch – holding hands, hugs and kisses or a light touch as she passes by.
*Someone who will not put up emotional barriers when I seek to understand her thoughts and feelings, but rather will communicate with me intimately and candidly.
*Someone who likes frequent physical and emotional connection like I do, but who helps to keep dependency in check in the relationship so that we do not lose our identities as individuals.
*Someone who believes and acts on the belief that the intimacy of a relationship is to be respected.
*A partner who has a good degree of energy, enthusiasm and self-efficacy like me, as opposed to a partner who needs constant nurturance and reassurance to feel empowered and valued as person.
*Someone who will join me in taking time to find a complete and genuine resolution to issues as opposed to avoiding conflict by settling for quick, temporary agreements.

To sum it all up, this is the quotation that I try to live my life by:
"There's only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's ones own self." -Aldous Huxley.

I would prefer to go someplace calm and with a relaxed atmosphere. The reason for this would be to remove many stimuli that would interfere with the process of learning about each other and our various qualities. Such as a lounge or a relaxing cafe.
