Date men and women from Canada / Nova Scotia / Sydney Mines, 35 year old

Date a soulmate from Nova Scotia, Canada. I am not very experienced when it comes to relationships and I haven't had one in a long time. I know I want someone stable (ie not crazy) who is intelligent, open-minded, honest, caring, loyal and patient. I'd like to think I possess all those qualities. Sometimes I'm too honest. Blunt actually. I guess everyone is looking for those things. I'd like funny. That's a good quality.
I'm a bit of a loner. I didn't choose that. My life just sort of evolved that way. I'm shy.
I'm a good listener and I have a good sense of humor. I like to try woodworking. I usually fail, I waste a lot of wood but I keep trying. I hate waste. I work for the district health authority. Last year I saved over $10 000 of drugs that were sent to Honduras. I'm happy to say the drug waste is about to be drastically reduced.
I'm looking for someone that will accept me. Good conversation is a must. Good debate is fun too. Romance and intimacy to follow.
I love animals. They love me back.
Children are drawn to me. I think they can sense fear:)
Well?
