In His Own Words
About him
Considered by some to be a bit complicated (experts, what do they know?), but I think I'm straightforward enough.
Not yet ready for pipe and slippers, etc. I need a new start after a difficult last few years. Happiness is a birthright as far as I'm concerned, and I know I can get back to that "just right" condition.
Very keen on photography. I love music of many different genres (I might draw the line at Mongolian throat singing though!)
Walking in the countryside (with camera of course), then a pub lunch is a good start to a day for me.....it really needs agreeable company to make it perfect.
I appear to be straight laced to some, but there's a mischief making imp in there which surfaces from time to time, I just need a nudge from the right sort of companion to set him free.
About his ideal match
The ideal match would be a complete surprise. Obviously shared interests would help as a lead....but novelty and a fresh outlook would be welcome too . Absolute honesty, delivered kindly of course!
What His Friends Say
Jennie said...
This is one of the nicest chaps I know - he has a lovely sense of quirky humour, and is kind, sensitive and charming. Yes, he needs a good shake up by someone who is equally nice, who has a sense of adventure (in a gentle way) and would be prepared to give him a kindly kick. You will enjoy discovering his hidden depths and love listening to him - he speaks beautifully. So, please help him to get going again! PS: He doesn't own any slippers...yet!
