About me
Name: Cass
Gender: Female
Age: 38
Looking for: Long-term monogamous relationship with a man
I’m a divorced mother of three sons who are 12, 14 and 15. They’re with me 50 per cent of the time, and yes, it’s as wild, crazy and loud as you’d expect three boys to be! I work at a university in a leadership position in operations and administration. I balance a lot on any given day with my kids, work and friends, so I’m an excellent multi-tasker. I am fiercely independent, but I would like to have a special partner in my life.
As a partner, I will support someone through challenges and celebrate success. I’m not dating from a void where I think I need a partner to make my life whole — I want to share my amazing life with someone I care deeply about.
I’m also pretty fun! I go to comedy shows regularly, cheer extra-loud at sports games and keep up with TV shows, movies and pop culture in general. I think I’m a well-rounded partner that can dress up for a gala or opera, but I can also go camping and be off the grid. I’m low-maintenance and happy in a lot of different settings when I’m with great people.
I’m always out on adventures with my kids: Casa Loma escape rooms, Snakes and Lattes board game café, mini putt, swimming, snowboarding, picking a new part of the city to go to restaurants (Korean BBQ was a recent favourite!). I exercise every day at a yoga, Pilates or strength-training class, and walk or bike for daily movement. I’m happiest when I’m in motion: gardening, organizing my house, dancing. I am a very good friend to the people in my life: I am thoughtful, caring and I have a very strong memory for details and will think of little touches to make my friends smile.
My dating history
I was married for 15 years, and have been dating off and on since that ended. My last serious relationship ended one year ago and I’ve taken that solo time to become the best version of me.
What I’m looking for
I like sharing my day with someone who knows me well and having their support, and supporting them in turn: a true partnership where you can depend on each other. I want someone with a similar energy level who is respectful and kind, and who uses clear communication; passive aggression is a deal-breaker for me.
They should be active, organized, ambitious and career-driven and successful in their own way, and interested in the world around them. A sense of humour is great; I like someone playful, with a silly side. Someone in the west end would be ideal, and an active social life would be a plus so I can join in on the fun!
My politics are quite left-leaning and it’s important to me that any partner is also left in their views. Smokers and heavy drinkers are a no-go.
Why I’m doing it this way
I’m open to trying new ways of connecting beyond just dating apps! I’ve been learning to enjoy doing activities solo, whether it’s going to the movies or dancing, but I would love to have someone special in my life to share the little everyday moments with. Could that be you?
Lightning round with Cass
What three TV shows would you take to a desert island?
“Succession,” “The White Lotus” and “Better Call Saul.”
What was the last fun outing you had?
It’s a tie between a comedy show, going out dancing and hiking the caves of the Grey Bruce Trail.
What are you most afraid of?
Something devastating happening to one of my loved ones.
What is your favourite food?
I really like sushi and can’t get enough spicy salmon rolls, or big salads with fresh seasonal vegetables.
If you could spend the day with one celebrity, who would it be and why?
I think it would be fun to hang out with Esther Perel, the therapist. I love her podcast and would want to chat with her all day!
