To be completely honest, this place scares the sh!t out of me!

I come & go & still haven't met anyone off this site. I definitely don't have a recipe for who you are & hope you wouldn't have one for me either. I do believe you can meet someone ANYWHERE & so. . . here I am.

I know that I'm attracted to laughter, kindness, openness, comfort together, affection & oddly enough am seduced by a verbose nature. Some things I look out for include someone easy-going & super down to earth with a good sense of humour. Fun, natural, no games, has a great attitude. Someone who is kind & loves life. Cute or/& goofy wouldn't hurt, some boyish charm...

The water, the ocean, the outdoors are probably some of the things which keeps me in Vancouver. I'd love to learn how to snowboard & have a pass for one of the local mountains this season to learn, I'm really excited about it! I learned to scuba dive 7 years ago & haven't done it nearly enough since.

Travel in general is a definite big interest, even if it's just weekend trips away to all the great areas that surround us: Seattle, Vancouver island (gulf islands/Victoria/Tofino/etc), Whistler, the Okanagan. Some places on my hit list: Croatia, always NYC, London & other parts of the UK, the Maldives (sigh!).

I don't: watch Oprah, read "chick-lit" or watch home improvement shows. I don't smoke or drink excessively. I'm not into finding the best nightspots, the hippest bars, or going clubbing on a Friday night but I do like pubs or lounges occassionally for a drink or 2!

I do: smell good, love great films, enjoy cooking/good food/delicious wine/trying out new & favourite restaurants, live music & music in general, travelling, love photography, art galleries & museums, reading, live theatre, into keeping it healthy (most of the time!). I completed a 5K running program last year & since have been working on my running 3x week & recently did the 10K Turkey Trot at Granville Island which was so fun! I also like things like spin classes, yoga & strength training. If anything I love all these things mostly for the way they make me *feel*.

Having some things in common is, of course, important & hopefully enough differences to be able to challenge each other too. I'm a good person, seeking the same - I love to laugh & I hope you do too.

drinks & maybe walking around outside talking, anything to make something a bit awkward more comfortable.
