In His Own Words
About him
I'm sociable, chatty & cook real food - nothing fancy mind.
I'm very open & tactile, missing the companionship & intimacy of a proper relationship.
Feel I'd like to see more of the world now I have time - but it would be so much better to share that with someone special.
I'm happy with pets but do not want them to be a major part of a relationship, or a tie in any way. Sorry but I was tied by work then being a carer right through COVID.
I love live music & the freedom to do things on a whim.
I like exploring, walking, camping, historic places, markets & autojumbles, socialising, the pub quiz, diy, mechanics, old motorbikes, gardening, real coffee, wine, cheese, seafood, good company, - simple things!
Ever hopeful.
About his ideal match
An easy going and active lady who likes at least some of the same things that I like & can put up with me.
Plus a little mutual attraction!
A woman who isn't bothered about finding a man who is much taller than themselves - I lived with a lovely taller lady for many years, so it's not an issue for me.
And now that I'm retired, somebody without too many ties that might prevent just doing things on a whim, travel for instance.
I am privileged to have found such a woman once, could I be so lucky as to find another?
