In His Own Words
About him
I messaged a good friend of 40 years to tell her I’d taken the ‘risk’ of joining an online dating service and asked her to WhatsApp message me how she’d describe me, as I kind of guessed that might be better than a self-description, she said: “Honest, loyal, reliable, , excellent cook. Busy ……loves animals, a poet in the making, exciting and funny if a tad barking 😂🤣😆” (and then she added ‘good luck sunshine!’
About his ideal match
I’d say I’m seeking someone who is relaxed and fun to be with, who mixes easily and readily with others, but wouldn’t necessarily want to be ‘on my arm’ all the time, so someone who is independent and likes to both eat out and to socialise, maybe would like to share cooking duties at home….or sit back and be cooked for!
I’m not currently a National Trust member, but as I like to drive and visit different locations in my, and surrounding counties for days out and walks, I suspect with someone fun to share time with I might add historic building viewing to my list!
When younger I was a keen club rugby player and later a distance runner, I’ve only fairly recently brought to a halt to my road cycling, so if you’ve some sort of sporty background we might be more likely to be compatible, and if you still participate in your sport - we meet up after - simples! 😉
If you DON’T like sport, that would certainly NOT be a dealbreaker as apart from gym visits, I now limit my sports activities to table tennis only😊… that should help you keep up!
You WILL require a sense of humour!
