Me: Liv and work in T.O. I haven't been married, or had kids, still open to the idea though. I love music as you may be able to tell by my interests and I'm definitely an animal person, so if you have dogs, cats, goats (make great lawn mowers) etc. I'm cool with that. I guess a basic appreciation of nature and the environment is important to me, and it would be good if it was to you too. I have a career in the IT industry, I do enjoy my job and would like to meet someone who feels the same in their career.

I like a woman with a sense of humor, has some ambition, is mature (not overly :)) and down-to-earth. Not shying away from a good time is something I appreciate as well. Hopefully, you take an interest in something (art, music, movies, sports, travel) other than work or office politics. If you're a religious nut, have delusional expectations or you're just plain psychotic please do yourself and myself a big favor and stay clear of me.

I like to stay fit by mountain-biking, golfing, skiing, skating and lift weights occasionally. Saying this, I'm no fitness freak, you won't find me out running the tread at a fitness club. From my perspective, if I can't do it at home, or outside then it doesn't need to be done. I enjoy traveling and would like to see Australia and/or New Zealand someday.

As much as I value a great relationship, my friends, family and interests will always be important as well. I am looking for a long term relationship and if you like a guy who is intelligent, open-minded, down-to-earth, mature, honest, self-sufficient, is not a blowhard (boaster/shyster/bullsh*t artist) and can actually make dinner unattended (how could you not go for that?), send me an email.

If none of this has enticed you to want to message me, I'm sure the first date info in the next section won't make any difference. Thanks for reading.

Dinner and drinks always works, anywhere a conversation can be had without yelling in each others ear.
