In Her Own Words
About her
I think I am a romantic idealist, and I love music and art .. which I know a bit about thanks to five years studying in Italy and the US. Perhaps a good start would be a date at a gallery, a delicious lunch, (thankfully not cooked by me), and I can guarantee some interesting conversation, but I'm not fussy .. good conversation, laughter and fun much more important than staring at a Caravaggio !! I am a generous, grateful and affectionate friend and hug everyone .. Oh dear, I sound like a Red Setter .. which is probably my "canine spiritual equal"! I know lots of weird science thanks to my military intell research background, so although I'm not a Mary Berry Domestic Goddess, I can entertain a stricken dinner party with a pretty good range of entertaining anecdotes which aren't limited to the ingredients of the 'jus', the pud, or why on earth does anyone buy an Aga nowadays?? And I like walking .. around cities .. and riding .. through the country. I work more than full time, and hope to meet someone equally busy but like me is keen to explore new paths to friendships etc.
About her ideal match
Ah well .. who knows .. so many intelligent men writing honest well-crafted portraits of themselves here .. I like challenging witty highly intelligent men. Kind and sweet natured (not wet though), but grumpy and demanding is fine too !
Well educated and pretty smart in appearance (when appropriate), seems to be important to me, but not uncomfortably so. Humility & strength, balanced with professional confidence and understanding of others also seem to resonate. I do like men who can see the 'bigger picture' quickly, whether it's an issue over climate change, politics or reading another person's character correctly. Having said all of that, I would love to meet someone who is interested in art, music, books, city breaks, lunch on Saturdays .. and probably someone like me who isn't a seasoned dater. I'm not really into beach holidays and would probably have to be tied to the sunbed! The Artic is wonderful at this time of the year! Perhaps I should be looking for a Norwegian reindeer herder ?? I love learning new things .. so I hope to meet someone with some compatible interests but someone who can share their enthusiasms with me .. and surprise me ..
