In His Own Words
About him
Although I have a pretty wide interest in what's going on in the world, politically and socially, I've always gravitated more to the arts than the sciences, particularly the visual arts and music and that's where I've made my living, teaching, performing and writing. I like socialising but would not say I'm particularly extrovert. I enjoy walking and like travelling to new places, at home or abroad, but am ok spending time at home too, which can increasingly become the easy option, though when I do venture out or go away somewhere new I rarely regret it. Life is there to be enjoyed but please don't tell me not to take life too seriously. Living is a serious business and so is having a good time.
About his ideal match
I find it impossible to be prescriptive when trying to say who I might be looking for. I like being surprised by people I meet and if I met someone who exactly matched what I had in mind I'd probably end up being disappointed, because there was nothing new to discover. Sometimes I think I'd like to find somebody I could share my own interests with, such as playing music together, but that's not essential - I also want to be introduced to new aspects of life that I hadn't previously given much consideration to. The way we interact personally is important for me: listening is as important as talking. A deal breaker these days for me would be someone whose phone takes precedence over conversation. But talking on the phone to each other, can be good and usually more rewarding than a one line WhatsApp message. Somebody who knows how to make me smile would be good and I hope I could do the same for them.
