In His Own Words
About him
I'm a divorced easy going man with a dry sense of humour, many interests and a close knit grown up family. As a semi - retired History teacher I do seem to spend half my life in the past but I also sing in a choir, enjoy jiving, many sports, travelling, keeping myself fit and like nothing better than to relax with a good book or to have friends over and solve the worlds problems. I seem to be going through a Michael Connelly phase at the moment but I'm an avid reader and try not to limit myself to a particular genre.
I also have a small cottage in the Yorkshire Dales and as you can see from my windswept photo I actually enjoy a spot of hill walking.
A good evening out for me would be either a live music gig or a trip to the Broadway cinema with a meal and a chat about the film. My friends tell me I'm good company and easy to get on with but they would say that wouldn't they. Anyway, I think I've got a lot to offer in a relationship, but want a firm friendship initially and then to take it from there. I value honesty, kindness, loyalty and integrity in others and whilst obviously I realise that looks are important; for me chemistry, shared values and friendship are more important.
About his ideal match
I'm looking for an easy going, family orientated woman with a good sense of humour who wants an initial friendship and then possibly more. Looks are obviously important to me but personality and interests are crucial.
Someone who also has a love of reading, the countryside and maybe a bit of a risk taker. But more importantly, I'm looking for someone who is kind, who doesn't take themselves too seriously, will laugh at my daft jokes, help me solve and resolve the world's problems and know me well enough to tell me to shut up if I'm embarrassing myself, a tough ask, maybe mission impossible, but maybe not.
