Me? smart, calm, down-to-earth, affectionate, kind, optimistic, fun and sometimes wise man.

Life style? I enjoy walking, biking, swimming, canoeing, beaching, hiking, skiing, and dancing. I like reading a good book every now and then, mostly historical novels. A good movie, TV show, or even a good day in my life usually has the following ingredients: comedy, lust and mystery. I love taking time to live on the week-ends. I enjoy sharing a good bottle of wine, taking long walks through the city, listening to good music, playing a soccer game with friends, and whatever else seems fun, new or just the right thing do.

You? I'm looking for a girlfriend to enjoy life with. If things work out, I'd like to build something more serious but pleasure must stay part of the equation. I'm not Prince Charming and I'm not looking for a Princess. For those of you still in that mind frame, please jump to the next profile. For the remaining few, congratulations for growing up. I believe that friendship is the basis of any meaningful relationship, not self-centered expectations. I need to be with an emotionally stable woman, but not necessarily quiet and reserved. I don't like to be with a woman that is on an emotional roller-coaster with ups and downs every week of the month. I understand that emotional turmoil can be part of womanhood and I can deal with one crisis a month but not one a week. So, I welcome ladies with a calm temper.

My personality? curious, creative, adorable, funny, strong-willed, and spontaneous. I’m a free-spirit and I can’t be kept within rigid boundaries. I need to be in a relationship that is based on freedom, mutual well-being, and compassion. I believe that everyone should stand up for themselves, but patience and the ability to laugh at oneself, even in most stressful moments, are qualities that I appreciate in a woman.

My kid? I became a father when I was very young. I was not a very careful (but I've learned since). I have a fully grown sixteen year old boy. My history with his mother has ended many years ago, and everything has been quiet and stable for a very long time. My boy stays with me one week out of two. But at his age, my role mainly consists of filling up the fridge and buying the latest PlayStation. He's a very cool and relaxed young man, a little bit too conventional for my taste but hey nobody's perfect. My parental experience has been great and I'm open to the idea of having more kids.

Baggage? I believe that people can change and that personnal growth is a very important ingredient for success. To be right or wrong is irrelevant, what's important is weather it works or not. If you blame your ex for the failure of your last relationship without taking at least 50% of the responsibility, then you haven't grown. However if you've acknowledge your own flaws and, most importantly, found ways to improve yourself, than you're ready to contact me. I've done my homeworks, have you done yours?

Background? I came from a small Island (Mauritius) to Montreal when I was seven years old with my parents and my brothers. I've always stayed in Montreal except for a few years when I worked and lived in the Laurentians. I speak fluently both french and english (I think in english but I feel in french). I was raised as a catholic but I don't practice anymore. It's very hard to class me in an ethnic group because I have ancestors from multiple origins: European (French, Portuguese, and Scottish), Indian, Chinese, and African (Mauritius was a big port for ships that travelled from Europe to Asia). Depending on the days and years, I can look like an Italian, Spanish, Moroccan, Indian, or Brazilian. It's helpful when I travel around.

For those of you who wish to know more, don't be shy, just send me a simple smile, and I'll write back.

Au plaisir!
