In His Own Words
About him
Some friends find me amusing, thoughtful, artistic, engaging, humorous, quick-witted, sympathetic and outgoing.. Others - not so close or discerning - see me as stand-offish, opinionated, old-fashioned, technophobic and stubborn. I enjoy a sense of myself, I have many strategies for dealing with solitude. My interests include reading, walking, frequenting of cafe culture, going to cinema, concerts and opera, visiting or entertaining or eating out with friends, going on holidays, keeping up with popular culture (well, within limits). My nature is optimistic and my spirit is young at heart. Despite the fact of my age I do not feel past it. Quite.
About his ideal match
Ideally I'd like to get to know someone with not necessarily similar interests but with a strong sense of identity, with a passion for some particular interest. He would be able to express and be open about feelings - even the difficult ones - and be capable of empathy and flexibility. Honesty and genuineness would help to make things work. I don't expect to share all interests of a partner but travel, conversation, eating out (and in) would be a start. This is risky but I think a deal breaker would be someone who needed to watch hours of football on telly every week. One match I could cope with.
