In His Own Words
About him
A bit about me. Being creative is important to me, and writing is a passion (I teach business writing). For much of my life it seems my head has been in IT, but my heart is in the arts. Sometimes it seems my life revolves around another passion - playing music (mostly classical). This might sound a bit serious but I do have a sense of humour: think Green Wing to Harry and Paul by way of Eddie Izzard. In fact humour makes my life worth living: I have to nurture it to stay in tune with two wonderful daughters (in their 20s). Oh, and yes, I try to keep fit, live life to the full, and the 'glass', when I can find it, has invariably just been filled. Cheers! Being on the east coast I've recently returned to sailing and that keeps me supple (and perhaps subtle). I love exhibitions, museums, historical monuments (so I should as a history graduate), concerts, the opera - everything that's good for you. That goes for food too. So, a taste for the modern and adventurous. Life is very open at the moment - I do not have to work too much - so I could dedicate time to you, a really important thing for a good relationship. I only ask that you give as much as you take and enjoy doing it.
About his ideal match
A bit about you. My ideal woman is nothing more than that - an ideal. What does the ideal relationship look like?' Would I recognise it if I saw it? So we develop our wish list. She is intelligent and is curious about life; she wants to understand why things are as they appear to be. She is a reader who loves books and has a rich intellectual life, enjoys concerts, music and might play or sing. She doesn't have to be an extrovert, but have a fascinating inner world that I would love to explore. We say 'looking for friendship', but often we mean much more. Friendship is a good start. For me it means sharing my curiosity about the world and enjoying your interests and loves. On the surface I might seem to be reserved, polite; but deep down the passion runs deep. If you are someone who can nurture the intellect and release the animal - I'm your man. But in a touch of realism we know our pasts define us, though they should not constrict us. Experience tells me the ideal woman might not be what I expect: in practice she might complement rather match my ideal. Her passions might differ from mine, but all the better to explore them together. If the prospect of good conversation with someone who will make the effort to understand you, and the possibility of a rewarding relationship sounds good, then get in touch.
