In His Own Words
About him
Trustworthy, reliable, honest man seeks similar female for long term relationship. Till death us do part was fulfilled in my marriage so you can count on me in the long term.
I'm told that my appearance hasn't changed for many years and that I don't look anywhere near my 60 years - don't feel it either as I have a determined outlook on life with goal setting a priority and I suspect that this keeps me looking young for my age.
Like to socialise, meet friends for a pub quiz. Used to take my girl out for a meal every Friday but now have no-one to treat. Eating alone is the worst feeling - even reading a good book at the table to avoid looking lonely can't compensate.
As far as dating is concerned I haven't done this for so many years its like a whole new scenario and I have no idea what to expect - just have faith in my basic upbringing and morals to know that I know how to treat a lady well and appreciate the finer things in life.
I have a 20 year old daughter who has had a difficult time with illness from birth but who now lives a relatively normal life with the odd outbreak of serious illness in the winter time but we manage that as and when it occurs.
Regards
Michael
About his ideal match
I'd like to meet someone for a long term relationship who has an idea of what they want to do with the rest of their life but is not entirely sure of the path to happiness - the journey is part of the solution.
I'd prefer a partner who does not have blonde hair as my wifes idol was Marilyn Monroe and she copied her slavishly. I realise I can't stick to this religiously though as the right person will be the right person regardless.
two women I have always admired for both looks and personality are Rachel Weisz but primarily Gillian Anderson - aka Scully in the X-files.
A strong sense of identity and purpose in life are important characteristics in a partner for me as are strong moral values and an appreciation of family.
