***If it's T.M.I. /too verbose, please be honest in a gentle way and tell me. Thank you!
More about me:
I am not 50 quite yet!!
Continuous learning, personal growth and self-improvement are important values to me. I like reading and learning about many new and old topics, which is one reason why I like to take classes, attend workshops, seminars and conferences - for both personal and professional development.
Since I teach English as an additional language, I'm a bit of linguistic nerd. Grammar, spelling, and written communication are important to me; but they're not the "be-all & end-all" for me. For example - poetry, and good ole fashioned, hand-written letters discovered in one's mailbox. ;-) :-)
I would rather play sports then watch sports, either live or on TV. The only sport I really like to watch on TV is my favourite football team, The Calgary Stampeders!!! I've also gotten into watching more sci-fi/ superhero movies the last five years. 🤓🤓
I like doing a wide variety of activities, depending on what I'm in the mood for. I'm comfortable with both getting dressed up to go to the theatre or a concert, or wearing something more casual or suited to the activity (hiking gear, bike riding).
I have a practical/ logical side to my thinking, and many times, I think outside of the box, and come up with different solutions or suggestions. On the other hand, I also have a very traditional, romantic side when it comes to dating/ courting. And while I don't like clingy-ness, I'm usually affectionate, enjoy holding hands, and cuddling.
More about what I'm looking for in a new friend/ date/ mate/ etc:
Integrity is an important quality to have, and to live out in daily life and relationships. Fun and creativity are also important! Looking for a man who believes in Jesus Christ; yet who is not spiritually legalistic, and who is okay with asking/ debating questions about faith beliefs in order to dig deeper.
A gentleman who isn't afraid to take the lead (especially on the dance floor!) and be a man of action, yet who can also lead with grace, humility, and humour. A man who isn't afraid of letting his lady be the leader, or his "help-meet" at times. A guy who loves to travel (especially outside of their "comfort zone" aka North America) who likes Canadian football, and who isn't afraid of standing up for what's right.
I'm also looking for someone who is aware of, and is sensitive to multicultural issues and who is respectful to people that are different from himself. A man who is willing to try new things, who likes to have intelligent conversations about a wide variety of topics, and who has a compassionate, patient and tender side.....
Pursuing and living a healthy, balanced lifestyle is important to me! Especially as one ages. ;-) No one is perfect except for Jesus Christ, and as far as I know, the second coming has not happened yet: which means that we are all capable of failing, of hurting someone else, and of being hurt. Most everyone I know has suffered in some way, or has been or is currently struggling with something(s). So hopefully, we can be kind and patient with each other, and try to use good communication skills.
To me, a part of being healthy is acknowledging and accepting one's shortcomings and weaknesses; then making the conscious choice to do something about it, instead of hiding it away and living in denial. It's okay to ask for help. To be your real self.
I used to be a professional chef, and have always loved cooking, baking, and fine dining (when the budget allows!). I cook mostly from scratch and my imagination, not from a box. Hopefully, you are able/ like to do some cooking as well, and perhaps we could cook or bake together??!!! I like creating and trying out new recipes to make flavourful, delicious and healthy dishes.
I've worked diligently over the past few years to make healthy choices for my life beyond good nutrition: some days I don't do well, but I continue to try even after a bad day. Therefore, I would also want to meet like-minded men that (who even though they may struggle), are committed to making healthy choices and decisions in your life. If you're not ready to do that yet, then perhaps this isn't the right time for us to meet.
With that in mind, if you are currently (still) struggling with sex and porn addictions, alcohol, drugs, gambling, food or any other addictions, I would not be interested in meeting you, until you are at least two years clean, sober, and healed from your addiction.
Even though I've been a missionary overseas, on the flip side; if you are a conservative, spiritually-legalistic, caveman, "Bible-thumper", and for example, say that all drinking of alcohol is a mortal sin, and that you can't enjoy a glass or two of wine with dinner occasionally, or on an evening out, and would oppose myself enjoying a nice glass of wine, then I am definitely not the woman for you either!!!
Also, if you are currently separated, I believe that a person is not officially divorced until you have the divorce certificate in your hand. If this is your situation, I would not be willing to meet you until you are officially divorced. And of course, if you are still married and scamming around on your wife, it's an absolute NO. Marriage is sacred, and cheating on your spouse is dishonouring, shameful,and ends up hurting everyone involved.
As well, if education, and personal development are not important to you, then I'm probably not the right choice for you. I'm passionate about literacy, being healthy, helping others, and trying to share God's love in a "non-thumper-ish" way.
I wish you well in your search for an authentic, loving relationship.
May God Bless you, and thanks for reading all this way! ;-)
If you have any questions that I could clarify, please let me know.
**I'm also allergic to cats; so if you have a cat, I don't think we would be a good match. I am a "dog person", and I grew up with dogs, and would like to have one or two again, preferably hypoallergenic as I am allergic to some dogs as well, unfortunately.
Edit: I would like to add that I respect that people have special relationships with their fur babies, and I would never want to force a cat person to have to choose between their cat and their relationship. Due to my allergies, this would an issue. Thank you for your understanding and I wish you the best!
- First Date
- Meet somewhere public, not too noisy so we can hear each other talk, perhaps for a beverage? I like tea (but if you're a coffee person, that's okay too) bubble tea/ smoothie, & a stroll (walk & talk) along the river. Or please suggest something creative!
