In His Own Words
About him
Widowed, my two daughters and 4 grand children, travel out of the country and a number of active and passive interests (in addition to a profitable enjoyment of derivative trading and a growing AI interest) fill up my time.
After 17 years in London, I've recently returned to West Yorkshire. Now travel, meeting people, conversation, cycling, theatre, cinema, concerts, museums, architecture, geology and family and friends fill my spare time (scuba diving, skiing, canoeing, to a lesser degree since a car knocked me off my bicycle in 2012).
From a work and educational prospective, I have experience in a variety of industries as a result of being in the computer industry since gaining my Business degree. That industry has treated me well and allowed me considerable travel. I was successful in what I previously did and have been fortunate enough to transfer this into retirement.
Also fortunate enough to taste some of the better things in life, I have known and given love in the past and remain an optimistic and very happy explorer. Having been the citizen of 3 countries, I remain flexible in fitting in with any location given the right companion.
I'm not a believer in 'first sight' relationships at this stage in life. Like many good gardens, nurturing and patience work wonders... along with some sunshine, smiles, music..
About his ideal match
I'm looking for a unique woman, a woman open to change, open to challenge and open to warmth. I would like a woman who is comfortable with herself as well as with me. A woman comfortable in the city or the country, a woman who relishes in the delights of being alone together, yet flourishes in the company of others. and values my contribution to her life. A woman who likes the contrast of travel, TV and the outdoors. One capable of growing a friendship into a lasting respect. One who can help me laugh at myself and enjoy my making others laugh at life's various views and take pleasure in my happiness as much as I do in her's.
It would be a pleasant surprise to find her wonderful exterior presentation is matched by the inner person. Pleasing too would be the discovery that she enters and remains an equal in a relationship. As would the realisation that she could grow, teach, learn and love a life which is mutually complementary and reflects a growing trust and loyalty... even if we don't live together, but find time to simply enjoy being together.
A good friend suggested I find someone to help lower my defences so that I don't let previous experiences dim the possibilities.
