In His Own Words
About him
Hello!
I'm very much a Libran so I appreciate a stylish, balanced approach to just about everything and put great store by good manners, politeness and respect towards other people. I was recently described as ‘a lovely man - sensitive, intelligent, amusing, attentive, and the perfect gentleman’. I think it would be fair of me to add thoughtful, honest, kind and romantic to the list but, ultimately, it will be for you to judge!
I can laugh too. Lots in fact. Spontaneity, wit and fun with our wonderful English language always bring a smile. I have to admit, though, that I prefer small groups of people to parties ….…. and, sometimes, just being very quiet and all alone is fine too.
I enjoy eating out, reading, modern languages, learning (all learning is good learning), my friends and Germany (yes really).
However, I’m happiest when I’m cycling and work hard on the road and in the gym, always looking to improve, or at least maintain, my fitness .... but I also enjoy social rides and organise a weekly informal outing for a group of cycling buddies.
I also volunteer one morning a week for a local cancer-care charity .... something I find very rewarding.
But, I hear you ask, what about all the practical stuff? Well, that's OK too, I guess. I'm emotionally and financially secure and have minimal ties. In my garage, you will find all the necessary kit for decorating, DIY and gardening, all of which I use from time to time with a reasonable degree of competence. In fact, I’ve very recently done up a complete flat (Scandi-cool style) .... which is where you will now find me living.
So: a reasonably rounded sort of guy with a pretty full, well-sorted and happy life ......... but, as just about everyone reading this will understand, there's definitely still plenty of room for that “very special” person ........ just to make it all wonderfully complete.
About his ideal match
Someone with spark, intelligence, a thirst for knowledge and an interest in the finer things in life.
Someone attractive, stylish, slim, sexy and 5' 6" plus (which works well with someone who is 6' 2'').
Someone tactile and romantic, who will happily return my sensitive touch and hugs. Someone to care about, to share with, to caress, to laugh with, to spontaneously pick up and spin round ......... just because that's how they make me feel.
Someone looking for a guy with lots to give ....... and who, in return, (and this is very important) has the emotional and temporal space needed for a successful relationship.
