In His Own Words
About him
Happy with my life and with much to be thankful for, most of all my two young adult sons who mean the world to me, I'm set to embark on that exciting next chapter, and am seeking that special someone to share the good times, adventures, and thrills and spills that lie ahead. I've thrown myself into being a good dad to my boys over the years, one of whom struggles with a disability, and will always be there to offer love and support, but now the time has come for me to enjoy more 'me time' and I'm hoping, 'us time'!
How to describe myself? I guess in a nutshell we could try passionate, adventurous, inquisitive, amusing and playful - with a sprinkling of mischievousness thrown in! Thoughtful and caring, definitely. Intelligent, a lover of good conversation and observations shared about this amazing, funny world we live in. Absolutely responsible and trustworthy, but with a glint in the eye and a love of spontaneity and having fun. Humour, a sense of perspective, never taking oneself too seriously... they're key, yes? It's good to be able to laugh at life (and oneself) at times!
Inspired by the beauty of nature I enjoy the outdoors and going walking; anything that keeps me fit and healthy; an evening socialising with friends over dinner; snuggling on the sofa together with a bottle of good wine; the theatre, cinema, live music; exploring distant lands, going off the beaten track as well as more familiar destinations closer to home. New experiences? Sign me up!!
Want to know more? I hope so! Just ask; I'm very friendly, an open book and easy to get to know, the sort of guy you quickly feel comfortable and at ease with.
About his ideal match
I'm looking for someone with a lively and enquiring mind to forge a deep connection with, rooted in love, openness, trust and mutual respect; a partnership of equals, and a willingness to give of ourselves to each other without holding back. With much to enjoy and learn together, I hope you're a positive, outgoing person with a sense of adventure and a natural curiosity!
Also important to me is an ability to talk easily and effortlessly with each other, about anything and everything; reflecting on life's mysteries, seeking wise counsel, and being quick to listen, understand and when needed, say sorry.
What His Friends Say

I've known Adrian in and out of work for 6 or 7 years now. He's a great guy: very caring and emotionally intelligent, always has lots to talk about and can listen too! Adrian is trustworthy and honest and someone will be lucky to catch him. He's game for trying new things and has recently joined the jive scene, so come on one of you ladies and partner him. You'll have a laugh, interesting conversation and meet a lovely guy whose prepared to work with you at a relationship.

I feel very lucky to have Adrian as a friend! He is a very generous, loyal, warm and caring person, and has helped me through some very difficult times. His support has been invaluable and I cannot stress enough how very principled and fair minded he is. In life, we very rarely meet people who stand head and shoulders above the rest, but this is what you get with Adrian. In short, anyone who has a person like Adrian in their lives is extremely blessed and will see these qualities for themselves!
