Let me paint you a vision of my future. If you can see yourself in it, let me know...

It's a couple years from now. We're on a white-sand beach that's dotted with palm trees. There's a light breeze, and we can smell the scent of tropical flowers in the air. As you look out on the crystal blue waters, you note the sun is setting, and it casts an orange-yellow light on everything. And, as the wave crests catch this light, they sparkle like a million points of fireworks on the water. It's dazzling and hypnotic.

There's a warmth and glow that surrounds everything. It's not just the temperature of the air, it's not just the feeling of the setting sun on our skin, and it's not just because you're leaning back into me as we sit on the sand with my arms wrapped around you. The warmth is coming from an inner contentment, an inner joy, an inner bliss. And, as you look over to where our children are laughing and playing in the distance, you realize that you've become a part of something wonderful and extraordinary.

Then, as you touch my cheek with your fingertips, and gaze deep into my eyes with all the tenderness, vulnerability, and love in your heart, you softly whisper " Thank you for reaching out with an open heart and making my dreams of finding true love a reality."

I'm looking for someone to help me create the above moment, and many more like them. How would YOU like this story to unfold?

If you're intrigued, read on...

Who am I? One can only get to a certain level of depth here in an online profile, but let me touch on some of the highlights. If you want to learn more, let's connect.

I was born in Canada, have lived in 6 countries around the world, and have traveled to well over 30 in all. This "world experience" has molded who I've become at a fundamental level: I'm an out-of-the-box thinker with a world view, and a young state of mind. In fact, nobody ever guesses my age right - I'm usually pegged at 25-35 or so.

I've also spent the last 8 years of my life engaged in a deep, transformational journey of emotional, spiritual, and professional development.

So, I'm probably different than most men you've met, and it takes a lot to "pitch and catch" with me. Translation? If you're JUST "eye candy", we won't be a match. Been there, done that, got bored, and want something deeper. If you've got intelligence, a feisty personality, a fun sense of humor, a love of laughter, and a zest for new experiences and adventure, then we might just be a match.

Your friends would describe you as fun, funny, sassy, relentlessly positive, sometimes goofy, and full of enthusiasm for life and love.

I'm a mischievous Scorpio, but at my core, I'm a die-hard romantic, and if you can make me laugh, you just might melt my heart.

What we do for a first date depends on your comfort levels. For a first date, let's pretend we're tourists in our own city (which, given that I've been outside of Canada and Edmonton for 15 years, I kind of am), and just "explore and discover". I'd be checking out if we can carry a conversation, if there's a "click", if you can make me laugh, and if maybe, just maybe, there might be something there to nurture.
