In His Own Words
About him
am a hopeful romantic, that is to say I hope romance is still out there and I’m lucky enough to find it.
What I am looking for is someone I can invest my very soul in. Someone who, in time hopefully, will wake up in the middle of the night, as we all do at our age! get back into bed and either sends a ‘LUV U’ text or call just to say goodnight again.
My fantasy is that I’ll find the lady who will be my last first kiss..
I am affectionate and tactile, I have no problem walking down the street hand in hand, stealing a kiss behind the menu in a coffee shop or between courses in a restaurant.
.
NOT looking for O.N.S, F.W.B, or mucky texts or email
.
I have many hobbies and interests from chess to target shooting. I grew up on or around farms and am happiest outdoors. I bought a paddle board last summer and still trying to master it.
.
I have a head full of trivia (great for a pub quiz)
Music has always been a huge part of my life. I enjoy most genres (except free form jazz!) I was a working D.J. for over 40 years. I also have a collection of guitars and I’m slowly learning to play them.
.
All photos taken within the last year
I class myself as an old fashioned in gentleman, I believe a lady should be treated right (opening doors, pulling out the ladies chair, topping up her drink, standing if the lady leaves the table, NO foul language) listening to her point of view. I'm a gentleman, NOT a misogynist.
I am polite and would never dream of ghosting someone, as harsh as it may sound if we were chatting and I wasn't feeling it. I would tell you as gently as possible, but I would tell you. I would appreciate the same courtesy in return.
.
Thank you for your attention
About his ideal match
Good manners are a must have.
Someone laid back with an eclectic musical taste, and a chamileonic fashion sense.
At home outdoors, from dog walking, shooting, paddle boarding or hiking across the moors with an O.S map a cacoon tent, a backpack and compass.
I love a good game of chess so some interest in that would be great.
I am a meat eater but would respect your personal views on food.
And of course a nice Netflix binge, cuddled up on the sofa with a takeaway and maybe some wine or cocktails.
Physical appearance, body shape, colour of skin are not as important as a 'spark'
.
As we've just had Christmas I’ll use that as an analogy.
.
The best wrapped gift under the tree with all of the glitter, ribbons and bows may be the worst gift that you get.
.
The one in a brown paper bag with the top taped down could contain the thing you want the most.
.
What I am trying to say is that I never judge a book by its covers, the most interesting parts are contained in the chapters in-between.
.
I know I may not appear to be everyone's cup of tea. But just as Orange is the new Black. So Tall, Dark and Handsome is now Shortish, Baldish and Roundish.
Fingers crossed 🤞🏿
