In His Own Words
About him
I have a rewarding career as an author - fiction and non-fiction, mostly business - and good friends. I own a small cottage in Leeds, near parks and the city centre. But I lack a special someone with whom to share weekends, holidays, satirical observations and bad puns. I am a social introvert; I tend not to dominate conversations but I love meeting people. While I can be cautious at times, for example about being late, I have taken risks in my career to be creative, or to commit to something that I believe in - for example doing some pro bono work on human rights.
I have three novels published, best described as romantic comedies. I can speak Spanish fairly fluently, and play the guitar quite badly.
My sport of choice these days is running - 10k runs and most Saturday mornings I'm at parkrun. In the past I played a lot of football and cricket. I like shopping and dining out in Leeds city centre. I also love wildlife and the countryside, especially rivers and woodland. On holiday I like to alternate between camping and a bit of luxury in a hotel.
About his ideal match
I’m looking to meet a woman who’s sensitive, loves books and music, has a sense of humour, and is comfortable with different cultures and points of view. I am at ease with either an extrovert or introvert. In life, I have learned that the most important quality in a relationship is kindness, and the second most is tolerance. Fun and a sense of romance are important too. I quite enjoy a balance between city life - meals out, gigs, art galleries, shopping; and the outdoors life - nature, walking and so on, so a bit of a preference one way or the other in my match is not important. The real deal-breaker for me would be any kind of prejudice or intolerance.
