I have been on POF for about two years. In that time I have met about fifteen ladies. I felt enough attraction to ask two of them out. They accepted but as it turned out they were not ready for a long term committed relationship. Unwilling to settle for less I moved on and that is how it stands.
I love life and enjoy living it to the fullest. I attended the U of A and got a degree in Physical Education. I played basketball for the Golden Bears. I continued to play many sports...in particular basketball and flag football. I also really enjoy skiing as well as dancing.
I taught in the public school system for over twenty years and resigned for I believe the system is run by 'bullies' and is in shambles. One high ranking administrator described the problem as a pandemic. I am in a much less stressful job now and have time to do the things I want. I built a house and have done many renovations. I have made counters, cabinets, can do plumbing and electrical but I really like to do fine work like stained glass (Tiffany method) as well as make boxes with dove tail corners. I have a fine collection of tools and feel I can do anything pertaining to house construction.
I am a gentleman with integrity, I'm honest, open, passionate, compassionate and have been told I am a romantic. I also have a passion for writing and I have written several books including: Love Lane poetry from my heart and soul, Stories from the Heart of Canada and Canada's Concise Encyclopedia. I self published these books and I am currently looking for a publisher for my other books.
Working, writing and renovating keep me very busy but I defintely would make time for a lady who could capture my attention. I expect she would be sweet, sincere, passionate and a lot of fun. Like me she would be active and it would be a big bonus if she danced.
I look forward to falling in love again. I have little baggage and have a lot to offer. The luck lady who falls in love with me and me with her will have many an adventure. We'll camp and travel and hopefully with a little luck roam the world. I will pamper her with poetry, massages, gourmet dinners, candlelight, sunset kisses and moonlight walks.
Here is a poem I penned penned recently:
Beauty Within
Beautiful feet are those that run
To lost souls that can not come
Beautiful hands are those that kneed
Broken hearts so they do not bleed
Beautiful ears are those that hear
The pain and joy of those so dear
Beautiful faces are those that beam
With a noble touching deed
Beautiful eyes are those that glisten
As though you came back from the missing
A beautiful heart is one that throbs
With joy and ecstacy but sometimes sobs
For the misery cast in life about
It's a bleeding heart, that's brave no doubt
A beautiful soul is one that seeks
To lift mankind to higher peaks
If you have persisted and read to this point I would like to make a comment to some of the ladies I have contacted. I have usually sent a poem. It is amazing to me that so many 'ladies' don't even have the courtesy to reply (two even blocked me!). I think this is just 'bad' manners. On a venue where we are looking for love I think we should all be courteous and polite. It takes little effort to respond, especially when someone has gone to some effort. If you are not interested that is one thing but to display bad manners...well that should just not be an option in my opinion.
A first date would be very exciting. Not a first meeting that should be in a safe, secure location for refreshements and introductions.
