In His Own Words
About him
I've brought up my son on my own, but now he's flown the nest and I'm feeling lonely.
I've been told I'm kind, thoughtful and romantic. Also, that I'm emotionally literate and available.
I love reading, theatre, cinema, music gigs, all the arts. I'm very active in helping to run a large local book club.
"What about flaws?" I hear you ask! We're all human, we've all got them. I guess I can be a bit sensitive and shy at times. Also, I live with a disability, which means I walk with a limp and won't be doing Strictly or running marathons any time soon. But I don't let it stop me living life to the full and having fun!
About his ideal match
I'd love to meet someone nice, who likes the same sort of things as I do, who I can share the next stage of my life with. I would put kindness at the top of the list of desirable personality traits in my match: kindness trumps everything.
So a proper relationship is the goal, but taking things gently and seeing how it goes would be my idea of the best way to start.
I'm not a big fan of strenuous outdoor activities, I'm much happier going out for a meal, to the theatre or to a gig (when it's allowed).
I believe that kindness and tolerance on both sides are vital for any relationship to work: we are all human and have our flaws.
