In His Own Words
About him
I'm not interested in vague concept of 'people' getting to know me. I'm seeking one special person, and I hope you are too. Please note that I'm 74, as will be obvious from the haggard image that you'll see in my recent passport photo. I said I was younger so that I'd show up if you were searching in the 60-70 range. I'm sure you'll overlook that teensie-weensie bit of subterfuge especially as I've 'fessed up straightaway. Also, why do they ask for such precision with 'area'? I wanted to put East Anglia, but that's not allowed. In the end I put London (70 minutes away), because I'm frequently there, and Ealing, because that's where my daughter lives. I could just as easily have put Surrey, a lovely county where I have close relatives who I visit regularly. Besides, I don't understand why people see distance as a problem; I'd be happy to move just about anywhere to be with the right person, so this geography malarky seems unnecessary to me.
You may gather from all this that I'm a bit of a rule breaker when I want to be, but also I'm the most honest, faithful, loyal man that you're ever likely to meet. Considerate, affectionate, tactile, that's me (I'm blushing now, describing yourself is so embarrassing). Calm, empathetic, no hang-ups.......
I'm fit, healthy, with a youthful outlook, still running regularly. There have been hard times - forty years ago my alcoholic wife walked out on us (me and our 4 children) and I became a single parent with a collapsed business. We survived, I got them all through university, I resurrected the business which two sons now run very successfully. I want to enjoy the fruits of my hard work, preferably shared with that special someone. Holidays, outings, theatre, weekends away - they're not much fun on one's own.
Likes: I enjoy cooking, my grandchildren (note the important comma there), theatre, ballet/opera, poetry, rock, good conversation, curiosity, being physically and mentally active, and a host of other goodies.
About his ideal match
I would love to meet a confident intelligent woman with a soft feminine side, open and kind and affectionate, who believes in sharing equally (ideas, emotions, thoughts, support). A free thinker, not a stickler for convention. I'd like her to be my co-pilot, not a passenger; someone who can share decision-making and responsibilities, whose hidden depths are not too deep and not too hidden. Who, like me, enjoys giving as much as receiving - I don't believe in one-way traffic.
Phew, this isn't easy, I'm probably saying all the wrong things, but basically, if you detect a hint of anything interesting, do get in touch to learn more.
