In His Own Words
About him
I’m an easy going, friendly Irish guy who is happy in his own skin but believes that life is so much better shared.
I’m not sure if I believe in "soul mates"….but I do know that finding that elusive chemistry is the key to success in a relationship. Shared interests can be helpful but are not essential. But respecting each others space is important too…
I am openly affectionate with my partner and expect the same. I am loyal, dependable and trustworthy and will always have my partners back.
I am well travelled and I have also lived abroad quite a bit ( Jamaica, France, Italy, USA and Spain) all of which has formed my view of the world. I have always felt European above all else so Brexit was a horrible shock and I eventually decided to leave ... It now appears that my fears were correct and it has been an almighty mess...
Currently in Spain, I would not be averse to returning to the UK or Ireland for the right person however, or moving to another location in Europe.
I also believe age is just a number! ....I'm a keen tennis and padel player, I also love to swim and ski. I have a passion for reading, music, photography. I enjoy cooking and gardening and have discovered the benefits of meditation for bringing calm and tranquility into one's life.
I am also an animal lover and would love to have a dog in my life again!
I have a “lets see what happens” attitude to online dating. There has to be a "spark" of course (so please have some photos on your profile)...but chemistry together is the real test... Perhaps we can start by striking up a friendship by text/email/telephone video chat to see if there’s a rapport and taking it from there.
Finally, please on't be put off my my location! I moved to Spain to escape the Covid lockdown... but I'm open to relocation for the right person...
If any of this resonates with you, please get in touch!
About his ideal match
My ideal partner is open minded, educated, affectionate,
travelled, calm, easy-going, caring, accepting and able to compromise.
Nobody's perfect...We have to be accepting of each others little imperfections... and constant communication is a key part of nurturing a relationship allowing it to grow successfully... And I believe it is also important to give space to a partners existing interests...
I have lots of interests (see above) but would like to share some of my new partners too! I am a lifelong learner always ready to try new things.... and visit new places.
Some deal breakers for me would be an inability to see other points of view... intolerance... racism....cruelty... indifference. Politically I am left of centre so anyone who voted for the current right wing cabal of mendacious incompetents is unlikely to be a match...
Some photos on your profile is also essential for me. I really don't understand why some people don't have any! Oh and please be honest about your age! I've already said that I believe its only a number.... but it wouldn't be great starting out on a lie, now would it?
