In His Own Words
About him
Are you surprised you're here too? I'm very uncertain about this whole thing, but in the spirit of nothing ventured nothing gained, let's see what happens.....
Young in outlook - although the passage of time says one thing, my brain says another. Lucky to be fit, active and enjoy the outdoors - I'll give most things a go (except bungee jumping) with a smile. As the title suggests, my special place is on a beach, but show me a mountain and I'll be happy to walk up it with you. I'm fed up trying to wrestle a duvet into a newly-washed cover on my own, so bonus points if you've got a technique and are willing to help with that.
I'm not Clooney or Gere on the outside, but the inside is genuinely big-hearted, kind and caring and just wants to share that with the right person.
I'd like to find a connection with someone special that means I can share my thoughts, feel cared for, give affection in return, do the normal and the exotic together and, above all, laugh and enjoy life.
Drop me a line if you think you may be that person.
About his ideal match
I am looking for that special person who will hold my hand watching a sunset, smile at me when we wake up, that I can cook for, buy flowers for, go to concerts with and hopefully travel together in the UK and abroad.
Who knows if an ideal match is possible, what matters is that you are genuine, interesting, make me laugh and are willing to try something new. It will feel right. I realise that that person may not be on my doorstep - I'm giving this weird world of online dating a try as we may have never met otherwise and am willing to travel to find you.
I have fantastic family and friends, but what I'd like is to have a partner that I'd be proud to introduce them to.
The only deal breaker I can think of would be smoking - I'm not a fan I'm afraid.
