In His Own Words
About him
Warm, effusive, loving, funny, talkative, silly, serious, loves to hug spontaneously, tactile, relaxed, adventurous, walker, outdoorsy, loves cities and cultures. I'm of Persian-Arab ancestry.
I tend to mirror people and follow cues so if you are slightly formal, I will be the same. This doesn't mean I hide my true self as that will come across but I'm aware not to make the other person feel uncomfortable.
I've also been going regularly to the gym and last year clocked up 250 days. I surprised myself by outlasting the three months I had promised myself.
I write profusely if not cathartically, and am reflective. I believe I am an emotional empath. I am extrovert by nature and profession and have been told I am an attentive listener!
I believe in compassion as my philosophy, intimacy as a relationship ideal and filling the remaining gaps in my life with interesting conversations!
About his ideal match
Be yourself lol. Be open and honest. Give it a go. What will be, will be. Willing to meet up for a coffee as you can chat for a lifetime but you won't know unless you meet up. They say there has to be chemistry, whatever that means but attraction has to be mutual. We often write people off too quickly or are judgmental. Some of us take time to reveal ourselves and open up to a pleasant surprise. So give each other time. If something isn't to be, better to have tried than not however I do not bear grudges.
What His Friends Say
Richard said...
I have known Ali for some time and he is one of the most person-centred men I have ever met. He takes a real interest in the concerns of whomever he meets and goes to some pains to be sure he understands them and to respond helpfully and appropriately. He has a sharp and original brain and never delivers mere homilies. At the same time Ali is playful and funny and always can see the occasional absurdity in his own makeup even though it be self deprecating. Expect some vigorous but always good natured discussion with this guy and be prepared for lighter and erotic interludes.
