In His Own Words

About him

Could a young man be smarter
In seeking his inamorata?
Should his search be exotic?
Or will he find her, erotic,
In Waitrose by the tomat..as?

The people in white coats haven't come for me yet, so I will describe myself as a normal sort of bloke who would rather talk to a Lady than watch MoTD.

I like good conversation, though there is room for improvement with my small-talk. A good listener, I am intelligent, polite, considerate, honest and respectful of others. I have a strong sense of fair play and a dry sense of humour. I am young at heart and value my friends. My word, that has given the halo (LED) a little polish.

The little boy in me (yes, there is one) still likes to jump in the odd puddle...after checking it's not a pothole (the parent); and to make my grand-children's eyes roll with odd Granddad joke. I love to laugh, especially with others; though I'm not averse to laughing at myself.

I like a little adventure and, occasionally, to step outside my comfort zone. No, not just going to Waitrose; I've enjoyed three months backpacking around Oz and NZ, with some voluntary work in Fiji in between.
Tennis, Pilates and cycling (neither far, nor in Lycra) keep me reasonably fit. I love country and coastal walking; being in and observing the natural world keeps me grounded and feeds the soul.

Though I live in and prefer a rural domain, it certainly doesn't preclude city visits for pleasurable/cultural purposes, especially with someone I want to be with.
Other interests include reading, music, travel, the theatre and some of the creative arts. I admit to having a practical side and DIY skills. Also, I like to cook occasionally, particularly for someone special... and brave.

The need for personal space and time is something I very much respect.

Are closeness and cuddles important? Oh, yes please. But so are fun, laughter, spontaneity, frivolity and the occasional comfortable silence.

About his ideal match

A slim lady with knee-buckling eyes and smile, who is a lover of life and laughter. Someone who is warm, honest, tactile, kind, caring and witty. Not much to ask, really!

She is happy in her own life and interests but would like to share and complement some of them with (in her eyes) a special someone. Maybe she could enrich my life with new interests and experiences. I hope so. In the end, it's that bit of chemistry that wins the day.....and the heart.

The website said, "Don't Wait!
Subscribe and find your Soulmate."
It was easy, it seemed,
To find the man of her dreams,
False teeth, hairy ears: ..... "Oh,,,,,Grrreat"
