Hello, Welcome to my Profile, My name is Derek and Im a 42 year old father of 3 great children that live in Niagara Falls, My home town, I was married for 16 years.
I am a very passionate guy and a romantic, I believe in always doing my best to be respectful and making those around me feel comfortable and relaxed. I came to BC just over 2 years ago and landed a great job with BC Ferries and will never leave this great place. Eventually Id like to find a lady that I can become a special friend to and eventually a great partiner with. My hobbies are things that I can do with my hands and my goals are the places they can take me, I am proud to have done my best and will always strive to do much more. There is so much to see in life and Id like to find someone to share it with me. I love to go places, Meet new and interesting people and spend time learning and laughing together with someone special. I consider myself to be very compassionate and caring, I can be a real sweetheart but Ill leave that one to you. I am 42 but wont let my age slow me down couse your only as old as you feel at the moment. I strongly believe if we treat everyone the way we hope to be treated than life can go smooth, and most of all give respect and honesty. Being honest and true to others will make us honest and true to ourselves and it feels great. My favorite quote "Some lives form a perfect circle, others take shape in ways we cannot always perdict or understand, loss has been a part of my life, but it has shown me what is precious, So is the love I can only be greatful I have shared with you." Life is too short and to precious to waste a moment of it without happiness.

My first date, As experience has taught me, honesty means everything. I always introduce myself as myself and no one esle, I like to relax and enjoy a warm coffee and a great conversation to break the ice. Or if your wish is to enjoy a glass of wine with a romantic surrounding well Whatever brings a more comfortable setting and surrounding, I let the lady decide.
