I'm looking for someone to share what really counts in life. Things like watching the sun come up over the water, seeing a child play, sharing a great bottle of wine next to the fireplace, hearing a great band, a barbeque with friends. You know those things money can't buy. I've already got a Mastercard I'm looking for you.

I have many varied interests but at the top of my list of favorite things to do are reading, cooking (I'm a regular Emiril), playing the fiddle, travel (I just got back from Costa Rica and found several great beaches that would be so much better if shared) ,woodworking, live music, canoing (I built my own) and summer drives in my 68 MGB with the top down. I grew up in Canada so I guess that defines me a little and while I may have many stereotypical Canadian traits, I'm certainly unique. The odd Eh! does slip into my conversations but I'm really not all that into hockey and hate the cold. I love the outdoors and spent my youth and my vacations camping when I was younger, but these days tend to find more refined accommodation's. (although a weekend with friends at the campground still can be a lot of fun). Besides trips back to Canada to see my rather large family I like to take a trip or 2 each year to someplace I haven't been before. I tend more to active vacations, touring the country and visiting museams etc or canoing, kayaking hiking etc although once in a while I can be found lounging at the beach with a good book.

I'm looking for that girl next door. That one with the sweet smile, the playful personality and a zest for life. She'll enjoy the outdoors, family, friends, good times, as well as those special quiet times we get to spend alone together (maybe with a nice bottle of wine and a warm fire :)

To finish the add ... 2 Candles $1. 95, Bottle of Chateau Neuf de Pape 96 $29. 95, Wine glasses $9. 95. An evening with you, priceless!

From Fools Rush In :

"What the hell is dating?
A process of elimination where you both present your best side...
...and hide the real you. That can only last three months.

Then you spend three months getting to know your real selves.

Then one of you wants a commitment, the other doesn't so you start over.

I mean dating...

...dating is stupid!"

So let's get off this site and away from dating. Lets meet for coffee, drinks , Lunch or whatever works and present our real selves, so we can move past dating and into a relationship
