I can’t believe the summer holiday invite I just read from a doctor who peeked at my profile on an online dating site.
There it was, in plain English, publicly displayed by a Vancouver medical professional …
“I am looking for a companion for a two week vacation at Lake Rosseau in the Muskokas, with the intention that this could lead to a long term relationship. I currently live in Vancouver, but have been holidaying at Lake Rosseau for the past 15 years,” says this West Coast practitioner.
“What sort of man would advertise such an open invitation to a lust-infested, 14-day retreat,” I queried. “And what kind of a woman would nonchalantly respond?” I asked myself.
Am I being gullible and naïve? Have the rules of hunting down a mate changed in the new dating millennium? Or am I just overly cautious and prudish? Should I jokingly respond with a hint of sexual prowess in my response? Not a check-up chance in hell!
Located about 200 kms north of Toronto Canada, Lake Rosseau is golden- lined with million dollar summer cottages dating back to the 19th ntury. It’s a peaceful spot to take in Mother Nature as well as the fresh water breezes off Lake Joseph and Lake Muskoka. Many famous celebrities have summer retreats there like Goldie Hawn and Martin Short.
Like the snake that provoked virginal Eve to snag a bite from the forbidden fruit, this invitation is devilishly delicious and tempting. Continues Dr. Desperation, “This year, kids can't join me with their friends til mid July, so the first two weeks, I will be on my own.”
And his preference? “I’m looking for a fit, athletic lady who enjoys the outdoors and life on the water," seeks this 58-year-old divorced doctor (so he claims). Still mesmerized by this public invitation, I wondered – “Could this man be an axe murderer? And what woman in her right mind would accept; knowing virtually nothing about a man allegedly requesting
companionship?"
“My days are spent doing yoga, running, and swimming, cycling, golfing, waterskiing, and fine dining at the cottage with good wine and good music. Quiet times are spent reading, paddle boating and listening to music,” he adds, as he hunts for his female prey between the ages of 45 and 57 – athletic and toned, no doubt.
And like the high-pitched mating call of a sharp-shinned hawk, he chirps, “Does this sound like a way you would like to meet and possibly start a relationship? There are multiple bedrooms, if that is your preference – no pressure.”
No pressure! “How brazen of the good doctor,” I chirped back.
“Mostly", he reveals, “I’m looking for someone to have fun, to relax with, and hopefully filled with laughter, good conversation, and good company. Who knows where it will lead?” he
hails.
Well I’ll bet you one night in Amsterdam where it’s going to lead! I summarize a 14-day non-committal sexcation through the Muskoka’s sky-high forests, winding roads and mystic
trails. Is this a case for Dr. Love or will it be the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde?
Oh...and last but not lust....er....I mean...least...please respond with your age, height and weight before June 30th.
