In His Own Words
About him
Having been born at a very early age, I have always loved life and don't see that changing soon.
I think my friends would say I am a happy, funny, fun guy, balanced with a love of serious debate and intellectual provocation.
Things I like include:-
Laughing (so tell me your funny stories :)
Dancing (but haven't danced with the right lady for a while)
Foreign travel (clear water, coral reefs, scuba & boats)
Dining out (not necessarily Cuisine de qualité supérieure)
Cinema (2,4,1) deals LOL
Tribute bands - (Love the Counterfeit Stones)
The theater (rocky horror next)
Beer (But have not been to a good beer festival for a while)
I listen to Smooth radio, how sad is that..LOL
I intend to learn to dance Salsa, but need a partner
My fantastic now grown up kidults once again live with me at home, after returning from Uni....Who knows how long for?
I have two puddytats, Lulu and Olly. I like dogs too, but with working all day, it wouldn't be fair
I have been separated/divorced for 18 years (we remain on good terms)
I soon entered another relationship which lasted for 17.5 years (pots to the fires) We separated Dec 2015
I enjoy cooking and was pretty good, but had been out of practice for a while
I'm reasonably well traveled but still have many places yet to explore
I need to lose weight,... Ah bugger it !
I can personally guarantee that I have my own teeth, hair, (the colour bottled), I am in all the photos shown & they were all taken within the last 43 years ;)
About his ideal match
Option One - A Sophisticated, highly intelligent beauty queen, multi billionaires with the patience, intuition, understanding and loyalty of a Saint, who just finds older, bald, overweight guys irresistible and falls totally in love with me at first sight :)
Well I guess we all have to hope!
Option Two (Budget version) - An attractive fifty to sixty something lady (but these are only arbitrary numbers), if Kylie Minogue (47) or Dame Helen Mirren (69) are interested I would give them serious consideration.
Beautiful ladies forty six and under, no matter how much you cry and beg (and you know who you are) you are unlikely to be considered seriously.
Qualities I admire: Kindness, good manners, the ability to make people laugh, an interest in others, an appreciation of good food, wine, holding hands, hugs, kissing & making love.
The date . Hopefully the billionaires will want to fly me to the Bahamas for the month.
Alternatively; after chatting on the phone, we meet and hopefully don't run away screaming, then relax sipping drinks, sitting in the summer sun, a garden by the river, chatting & discovering if we have the spark, followed by either more smiles, laughter, developing closeness, holding hands and meal, or a friendly and polite excuse to go.
My Final Thoughts are About Love
I am undoubtedly going to make some good friends on this journey :)
What I am looking for though, is to fall in love for the very last time, but it has to be real. Not just wished into existence by emotional hunger, loneliness or an unfulfilled need to love and be loved.
This time it has to be with total self honesty and for the right reason, it has to be because I sincerely and totally love you.
Can I trust myself to recognize the truth? I really hope so.
I propose that we all wish ourselves "sh**loads" of luck so we do find that one very special person to love to the end of our time.
"Love isn't about finding someone who is easy to live with."
"Love is about finding someone who is hard to live without."
