In His Own Words
About him
I'm a tactile, warm hearted, honest and caring professional man who has retired, but still with a young and fun outlook on life. I'm articulate and intelligent with a passion for knowledge and I love things that make me think and learn.
Tying not to take myself too seriously I like to see the funny side of things. My friends say I have a dry and slightly warped sense of humour and I enjoy witty banter.
My dress sense is mainly conservative, but I enjoy dressing for the occasion. Smart casual for relaxing. My DJ gets the occasional airing but not as much as I'd like.
My biggest interest has got to be music, with very eclectic tastes. In the car I often listen to Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, John Barry, Eva Cassidy, Coldplay and excerpts from Les Mis and Moulin Rouge along with some big band (and I mean BIG band) pieces.
I play a baritone horn to a moderately average standard, and over the years, have played and taught various instruments - mainly to youngsters.
I often have the radio playing in the background - Scala/Classic fm are my stations of choice at the moment. Radio 4/extra also pop up when it's a good panel game such as Just a Minute. I find their wit and ability to think on their feet quite amazing. I also like to watch comedy panel games on television.
I can cook to a reasonable standard; a good Sunday roast with trimmings, and I enjoy baking bread and cakes but I also enjoy eating out too.
Socially I love going to the theatre and the ballet although I haven't been to either as much as I would like. I also have to admit to being an avid people watcher. People are so fascinating to observe.
I'm active in a variety of ways and so if you're a couch potato, we are not a match. However, saying that, I'm not much into sport (neither playing nor watching), but I do keep fit in a variety of ways, and until recently I enjoyed roller booting.
About his ideal match
I'm looking for a fun woman who shares similar interests. Smart in appearance and who enjoys dressing up as well as dressing down - socially comfortable in either wellies or heels.
You'll like to smell nice and care about your appearance; be able to hold an interesting conversation, but also naturally keen to see the funny side of life.
You'll enjoy having a man by your side who likes to compliment you on your appearance and who enjoys your company - supporting you in your life goals and sharing in your ups and downs.
You'll be honest and open with a caring side and be someone who understands and appreciates the differences we will both bring to the relationship.
You'll be passionate about things in life and proud to share those feelings. You'll also enjoy the tender moments; sitting and relaxing, sharing thoughts and feelings. You'll enjoy closeness and warmth and you will need to be tactile and being loved, hugged and caressed, as do I.
You'll be financially stable and happy in your life with a string of memories and achievements that make you feel proud and make you smile.
Maybe you'll like chocolate, wine and classy shoes too and you'll no doubt enjoy shopping, and be pleased that I enjoy it too.
