I don't know about you but I walk around the city and I see people together - happy; and I want that feeling for myself.

I'm looking for that special lady to fill the missing hole in my life. I want to make a woman feel like a princess and when I'm with you, I want to feel like I'm the luckiest guy on the planet. I want the long walks, the hand holding, the cuddling and the quiet times. Prefer nights in to nights out - been there and done that. I guess that makes me a romantic.

I'm looking for someone in my age range that wants and likes the same things. I'm not concerned as much about looks as much as I'm looking at the 'package'. Can she hold up her end of the conversation? Is she comfortable in her own skin? Does she laugh at my stories and jokes? Stuff like that.

Musically, I listen to alot of different things depending on my mood - have Bruce Springsteen, Garth Brooks and Barry Manilow side by side on my MP3 player. Like a good night out at karaoke.

I'm not a skier or snowboarder - I'd do major damage to myself or to small families. The Grouse Grind isn't going to happen but a long walk around downtown or the Seawall is definitely in the cards.

I will be the last person on the planet to sign up for Facebook.

I don't have much in terms of 'deal breakers' - but I don't drive, so I want to stay relatively close to home - so if you're in locations like Langley, PoCo or Pitt Meadows it most likely won't work out.... Sorry.

If any or all of this interests you, drop me a line and we'll see where it goes.

If I check your profile and you've checked mine and like what you see and read, drop me a line. It all starts somewhere and somehow. Checking out profiles, quick messages, that starts the process towards seeing if there's something there. And, if you make me a favourite, drop me a line and tell me why.

A first date would probably include a coffee or 'adult beverage' in a public but quiet location followed by a long walk around the West End or Seawall to get to know each other and see if there is "chemistry". From there, who knows?

I should also tell you that I'm really shy - so our meeting, if there is one, will have to be 'your idea'. Chances are, I'm willing to meet most people - but I do understand your safety concerns and don't want to appear to come on too strong.
