I am looking for a thinking, intelligent, emotionally and financially secure and compassionate man who likes and respects an independent woman, and prefers monogamy. A "solid citizen". I'm looking for an "activity partner" at the moment but I'm a long term kinda woman. I like to be friends first before edging into romance. I genuinely like male company and humour. I'm looking for a professional man who will enjoy meeting my family and friends.

Varied activities and interests keep me young and learning anything is my true passion and life force. Maintaining a fit body is a priority and I work at it every day with walking, workouts, tai chi and climbing hills in the forest. I have a background in a health profession and maintain an interest in healing and body-mind connection. Also a computer instructor and writer.
In my ideal life I would live in BC and Ontario for a time each year since my children are in both places.

I'm not looking for wealth, but a reasonable lifestyle with choices available with financial independence as I am.
I am not "stuck" in Victoria and am very ready to travel and/or relocate.
I may pick you as a favourite, but will likely wait for you to contact me. For me, this seems to work.....
Please have a true current photo for no surprises-I'm a visual person.

We can agree to meet somewhere (not the beach, please) conducive a quiet conversation where we can watch the world go by. I think we will know in the first few minutes if there is a connection and we want to hold hands. Then the second date is the most important one. If there is no magic we can part as friends.
