In His Own Words
About him
I'm all about decent cinema, music, small theatre, galleries, museums, architecture, history, curiosity, ideas, discussion, food and drink, friends, wordplay, teasing, mountains, cliff-tops, bike rides, picnics, hot baths, a good night's sleep and Radio 4. If I'm not doing something, I'll probably be planning something to do. Or just flaked out on the sofa.
Love London; love getting away. Love exploring Britain, love Europe and travelling further afield to experience different cultures. Lots of outdoor activities (in fair weather), but never bored indoors. Quiet time to unwind is essential, though. There are way too many books in my flat but, on the plus side, there's always something good to read. Even on the loo.
I have grown-up tastes and try to look beyond the mainstream. Positive, loyal and affectionate. Hard-working and conscientious. Thoughtful and enthusiastic. Quirky, forgetful and frequently absent-minded. I find it hard to hold grudges (see above) and try to see the best in people. I'm down to earth and don't have time for pointless rules and conventions. I'm probably at my happiest when I'm bringing friends together.
There's lots more to discover, of course, but that's half the fun, isn't it? Let's talk. Let's meet.
About his ideal match
Authenticity, intelligence, mutual attraction and some shared passions. A healthy balance between work and life. An equal partner to share the fun times and the ordinary times. Talking, laughing, cooking, eating, drinking, travelling, exploring, experiencing, growing together. And hopefully more.
I'm looking for a serious relationship that is a conversation neither of us wants to finish...
