In His Own Words
About him
My friends would describe me as an extremely loyal individual who values honesty and integrity above all else. Although a normally confident person, prior to becoming a widower, I had been married for more than 40 years, and as such, if I'm being completely honest, potentially developing a relationship with another woman is something I find a bit daunting!
To be absolutely fair to the many women who have viewed my profile, whilst I really appreciate your interest, I should also say that, I have no interest in long distance relationships.
Following on from the above, whilst I have nothing but admiration for the women who are brave enough to put photos of themselves on this site, whether it be as a result of male vanity, or simply uncertainty about the future I'm seeking, I currently lack the confidence to do so.
Despite my relative seniority, I maintain an active lifestyle which is due in no small part to having a Spaniel as my constant companion. Additionally, I participate in Outdoor and Indoor Bowls, and occasionally go Fly Fishing.
Whilst I may now be in the area of "clutching at straws", I should also say that I'm repeatedly told that I look much younger than my actual age, and a female friend did suggest that I should be looking to date women in the late 50s to early 60s age range, so who knows?
About his ideal match
Any woman I develop a relationship with would ideally have the same attributes as me in terms of being an honest and loyal person, and I would also expect her to have a down to earth and unpretentious personality. Such an individual would probably share the same caution and uncertainty as I do about dating sites, and in the first instance be looking at establishing a close friendship/companionship which could potentially develop into a more meaningful, long term relationship.
Following on from the above, although more than 4 years have now elapsed since I first became a widower, I still do not envisage ever remarrying. I understand that some women may feel that this stance is inconsistent with the aims of someone using a Dating Site, however I have always endeavoured to be an honest individual, and would never wish to deceive any women using this site. Whilst I recognise that none of us can predict the future, and the nature of any deeper relationship that may subsequently develop, in the first instance, I think that companionship would best reflect my current needs. Should the relationship progress beyond that, then this would be a happy outcome.
Similarly, although the life of a widower can be lonely at times, it is uncomplicated, and I would not wish to become involved with a woman who has unresolved marital issues.
My late wife and I travelled all over the world, and I note that many of the women viewing my profile also have aspirations to do so. However, since becoming a widower, my sole companion has been a devoted Spaniel who has never been in a kennel before; as such, foreign travel is not on the agenda for me I'm afraid.
Finally, I have never smoked, and to use this website's terminology, this would be a "Deal breaker" for me.
In conclusion, whilst I recognise that the honest nature of the above information may dissuade some women from considering me a suitable match, I would rather that happen than intentionally deceive anyone to my own advantage.
