In His Own Words
About him
I can cook, listen to cricket, do laundry, watch University Challenge, and raise a trio of teenagers single-handed...all at the same time!
Born in Chester; Early life in India; Raised in Staffordshire; University in London; 20 years in Hong Kong; Now live in UK; Love travel in UK and overseas (25 countries and counting).
I'm comfortable with both: Optimism v Hard reality; Bacon sandwich v Steamed broccoli; Pre-planning v Being spontaneous; Fine Burgundy v Pint of cider ; Flip-flops v Black Tie; ABBA v AC/DC; Romantic v Boring Geek; Spicy Thai food v Sticky toffee pudding. Life is rarely Black or White, the truth is usually somewhere in the middle...but on a bacon sandwich...surely HP Sauce is better than Heinz** ketchup?
Empathetic; Innate curiosity about the world; Interested in everything; Fun-loving; Take responsibility for my mistakes; Bit of a science geek (and love music, art, sport, theatre, good food and so much more).
I've raised 3 children by myself for past 7 years. But not looking for a substitute mother - my kids are at university or nearly independent. It's great to have free time and move forwards - and hopefully meet the right person along the way...
MOST IMPORTANT: I'm honest, reliable and loyal to my friends and family. New to online dating - thank you for reading. I hope you find what you're looking for...
(All photos are recent - oldest one is 18 months. I'm financially stable) (**Please Note - Other brands of ketchup are available)
About his ideal match
Someone that respects themselves, as well as others. Honest and considerate, also light hearted and optimistic. Tolerant, but not a pushover. And hopefully a bit cheeky!
Apart from that, who knows...? We could be complete opposites and totally click. Or we could be an identical match yet not like each other...if that happens it's probably my fault 😊
