Independent, sensual, open-minded, intelligent, non-monogamous, pansexual, respectful, funny, affectionate, warm, confident, and proudly Canadian!

I love to be openly affectionate, but I need my space.

I enjoy cultural activities like theatre and photography, but I'll lose my voice shouting at a hockey game.

I know what I want, but I'm open to new ideas.

I'm a new-age woman, but I'm an ol'romantic at heart.

And I may not be loaded, but I enjoy appreciating the finer things in life.

That's a lot to deal with, and there's more where that came from. Are you up to the challenge?

A few tips for messaging:

- if I write to you, please be so kind as to write back, even if it's to say you're not interested.

- I'm not looking for casual sex, to be a third in your sexcapades, or a long-distance relationship.

- yes, I have MSN, but you're not getting the address without a bit of exchange here first.

I'm looking for good friends and beyond - people to spend time with, build relationships, make a connection, and share some good times; people who are happy in their own space & skin, and together we will 'compliment,' not 'complete,' each other.

Requirements: sense of humour, passion, intelligence, confidence, independence, minimal materialism, originality...

And I tend to get along better with people that are a --few-- years older (though that mostly applies to men).

Perks: traveller, foreign languages, musical talent, height, theatre fan...

Something that is void of awkwardness and goes beyond first impressions to really getting to know his/her personality, desires, fears, goals, merriments, fetishes, interests, and whatever else composes his/her being.

A lot of things, positive and negative. Sometimes you just have to let things go, and other times the passion pays you back ten-fold!
