In Her Own Words
About her
I'm fine on my own but there's someone vital missing, a soul-mate. I can seem rather serious to people who have just met me, but those who know me well realise I've a mischievous sense of humour. I've a happy positive disposition, find life exciting and enjoy learning. I like visiting places that inspire me, they offer new experiences, make me question myself and my previous ideas. Some of my photos are from several years ago. The one in Iran, where you can't see my hair, is 3 years old and the one with pear tree wallpaper is the most recent. Friends have suggested I might lie about my age but that would seem pointless.
I'm interested in music, art, history, opera and the theatre, especially well-acted Shakespeare. I'm enthusiastic about the importance and excitement of reading, I find words, grammar, language and how it works fascinating; Having had a radio play broadcast, I was struggling to write a novel but it became a memoir. I enjoy the outdoors, countryside, wildlife, walking and swimming in warm water. Although I trekked in Nepal and climbed Kilimanjaro a few years ago, my knees aren't up to that now, despite attending weekly Pilates classes. I listen to music, mainly classical or folk, but can't play an instrument competently. Having hated it for years, I now derive pleasure from pottering about in the garden. I enjoy intelligent male company when it isn't sex- or sport-focused; I don't really 'get' football or shopping and I'm bemused by most technological appliances.
I'm confident in most situations and will ask for guidance if I need to. I'm comfortable on my own but am also at ease with groups of relative strangers where I tend to appraise the situation before plunging in. I enjoy walking my dog every day, he is one of my best friends, provides much of what I am looking for, loves me and enjoys my company. I like a challenge; I'm not a perfectionist but I appreciate a job well done and am bemused by lethargy. I enjoy the ridiculous, especially verbal or situational humour.
About her ideal match
Someone who enjoys the outdoors, countryside and wildlife, with an interest in history, who is keen to travel to far-away places, who pursues his own interests, but enjoys sharing them with others. Someone with a positive disposition, some sparkle, ideally clean-shaven, well-spoken, educated with good manners, practical skills and an ability to solve problems. Someone with initiative tempered with sound common sense, proven intelligence and a sense of curiosity. Someone totally honest, kind and forgiving, who likes me for who I am rather than what he would like me to be; who will respect my personal space, doesn't expect daily contact or resent my other interests. Someone healthy, reasonably fit but not a slave to the gym. Someone who understands my world, will take risks but calculate them first, who will protect me and my feelings and tell me, quite kindly, when I am being a complete idiot.
Someone caring, with clear opinions but not bigoted, assertive but not controlling, who can (and often does) laugh at himself. If this sounds like you and you think we would enjoy each other's company, I would be interested to hear from you. A bit of warmth and visual attraction also help.
