In His Own Words
About him
I am young at heart, active, loyal, honest and reliable, with a good sense of humour who enjoys life to the full..
I have a daughter and son who I am immensely proud of and I am blessed with four grandchildren.
I enjoy eating out or in, enjoy good food and wine, and cooking. I love to travel to sunny and warm places, as well as exploring the countryside and have fun times.
My vision of a successful and lasting relationship is based partly on tradition and partly on my own experiences. As a gentleman I like to open doors, I do not swear (publicly!), I think that it is important to understand that a relationship is organic, it never stops growing. Romantic gestures, affection, good communication and mutual consideration keep things alive.
Especially important virtues to me are those of courtesy and kindness. I treat people with tolerance & respect and always try to put myself in their shoes. My grandfather. He lived until his 90s and was loved by everyone he met. He gave me my curious nature and taught me to always think of others first. He and my grandmother were married for over 60 years before he died, and he always said she was the most precious and important part of his life. The way he treated her – with respect, kindness, and gratitude – has really shaped the way I conduct myself in all my relationships, particularly with women.
About his ideal match
I hope to find a passionate meaningful relationship with my best friend, lover, companion and life partner, to chat, laugh, cry, create and smile.
To share all the good things in life.
Small romantic gestures are important, eyes locking across a crowded room, sharing precious everlasting moments, holding hands, simply standing close together.
Small romantic gestures with big impact, uncontrollable smiling when we meet, precious and relaxed silences, doing things together, doing nothing together, just knowing we are going home together.
