In His Own Words
About him
Wife died last year so this is just 'toe in the water' . Simply would like to meet up with people for coffee on neutral ground, or maybe lunch, to see whether we have anything in common and for some companionship. I have no expectations beyond that (yet). As to me I guess I'm an average sort of guy, tolerably educated, well mannered, interested in others, sociable, likes to laugh and make laugh. I am quite well travelled so have no burning desire for round the world trips. I enjoy a bit of culture but also gardening, eating out, walking etc. I don't think I take myself too seriously, but that is perhaps for others to judge?
By the way, in case you are worried, I am reasonably well domesticated, can cook and clean etc and have always expected to share the chores. I am poor at sewing and can't knit to save my life! But hopefully my failings at the two latter skills are not a red flag to you?
I am happy to dance but fear I have two left feet. Its my own hair, what little is left, I have my own teeth with a few small gaps, and they are my own ears with my own hearing aids! But fret not, I can hear reasonably without the aids. Still reasonably physically fit - touch wood! I'm not overweight but I like food.
Once upon a time I had quite a responsible job so can take life seriously if I have to but prefer laughing these days.
Political preferences can be a good indicator of compatibility. So let me say from the outset that I am not a fan of the Right and did not vote for Brexit.
PS The photo with the lurid green background was taken on the beach on Christmas Day 2024. I don't normally drink straight from the bottle! The background of questionable taste is because I had to edit out the other people in the picture and so replaced them with something striking.
About his ideal match
No fixed ideas - but must have some interests to share. Someone who is easy-going, likes to smile, gregarious, independent minded but, hey, I'm only suggesting we meet for a cup of coffee at first rather than writing the love story of the century from the off! At that meeting I imagine we can both work out if there is any further mileage in a relationship at any level? I am not a huge fan of on-line chatting beyond the initial preliminaries but I can try and cope if that's your preference
