In His Own Words
About him
Just to let you know my sub has expired so can't reply to messages or see invitation only photos.
Will you be my last first kiss...fingers crossed.
Returning to this bio after many months absence from internet dating.Let's give you a soupçon about me...
Born & raised in Norfolk. Main career was in Banking, predominantly International Banking out of London.
After banking made a career change...Sales Director roles with a couple of Software Houses specialising in banks.
Latterly followed a passion and took up professional photography and most recently my side hustle has been internet marketing, including non-fiction publishing on Amazon. No pipe and slippers here!
Lived in Hampshire for over 30 years.
Interests...Cycling, Singing - have done Choral but now with Rock Choir; Historic buildings, Travel and exploring UK and abroad.
Photos 2023-2025. Latest from Jan 2025 (son's wedding in India). Please have recent photos too.
That's a little to hopefully whet your appetite.
About his ideal match
Let's avoid being too prescriptive here. When we discover each other we might be pleasantly surprised and wonder why we had passed each other by.
Would love to find a partner that has energy, perhaps with an entrepreneurial flair, a zest for life but who also enjoys downtime.
Hopefully, you like occasional stimulating chit chat covering everything from world affairs, what next to binge on Netflix or where to explore next.
It would be great if you like to cook..I do. and am a great sous chef too.
I am not seeking a super model, just someone who takes pride in their appearance...slimish but not skinny, to a lady with curves (in the right places).
To close...I am not looking for a penpal but a serious relationship. Also, which I know many here can relate to, if you habitually ghost people after a few exchanges, don't waste our time. Oh and finally, recent photos means just that, not ones that are date stamped several years previous. Had someone contact with photos date stamped 2020...madness
