In His Own Words
About him
"Take me back in time, maybe I can forget
Turn a different corner and we never would have met
Would you care?"
Let's not be ships that pass in the night.
Keeping the metaphor going,
I'm drifting, and need an anchor. I believe I'm relatively sane, but I'm a tad lost, not desperate but reaching out. Lines from a song come to mind - sorry!
"Eyes that watch the morning star
Seem a little brighter
Arms held out in darkness are...
Usually whiter" (Threnody)
Crazily, someone who could develop the hots for me is someone that I find attractive without even meeting them. I'm not sure if I'm admiring their good taste or if it's because someone out there could fancy this aging booby prize. I am serendipitous. I love a missive or two. I've been on my own for several years, still working with plenty of people around me during the day, but most evenings and nights it's just me and my two pugs who are great, but oh - for some human company!
Aussi, je suis un homme passif - je préfère le terme en français. Prétentieux...moi?
I am
Warm.
Older.
Quick-witted
Single.
Fit.
Libidinous.
Versatile.
Independent.
Cultured.
Cotswolds-based.
What's not to like?🤔
A weird thing about me - sometimes my eyes look green, other times brown. You might see this in my pics.
You can likely discern I'm fond of words, except when being taciturn.😏 Take me on at your peril!
P.S. Yes, there are lines upon my face from a lifetime of smiles.
About his ideal match
As many as possible of the following traits
Sincere
Charismatic
Charming
Considerate
Polite
Serious
Fun-loving, silly (when not being serious!)
Smart
Highly intuitive
Kind
Easy to talk to
Throw in sexy too!
I'm not expecting all of the above, perfection is overrated 🙂
Looks are definitely not the highest requirement of my agenda, more a meeting of minds would suit, I'm certainly not"all that" myself, though I try.
I find understatement and inner strength most attractive. Gawd 'elp me!
