In His Own Words
About him
Hi, I'm an honest, caring, sensitive (all words female friends have used to describe me) 30 something guy. I'm quite shy at first but when you get to know me I'm almost too witty for my own good! I have gone about a big career change in recent years and am loving being a primary school teaching assistant, it's so rewarding. I'm also a music lover who plays the drums and I enjoy going to gigs. Otherwise I like a quite night in with a good sitcom or a bit of sport. I also have a close group of friends whom I try to have a drink with once a week. Similarly my family are very important to me and although my parents retired to Spain, I regularly "FaceTime" them. My sister and 6 year old nephew live nearby so I'll see them one or twice a week too.
About his ideal match
I'm looking for an attractive lady who also has a great sense of humour. It would be good if you have a close friend and family circle too. Someone with a keen interest in music and a gig-goer would be an ideal match but that's just a bonus. Overall I'm just looking for a girl with similar qualities to myself, for dating initially and just see how it goes. Hopefully this might eventually lead to a relationship, which is what I'm looking for in the long term.
