In His Own Words
About him
I would like to think I am a young-for-my-age, fit, active and interesting guy despite having just recently (July) seen the age dial turn over once again!
I had difficulty finding a personal up-to-date photo but, for the avoidance of any doubt about its age, I have posted one (a bit formal perhaps) cropped from a quite recent family event and this is available to view by my favourites and on request.
Accepting the obvious limitations to enjoyment now on one's own, I try to enjoy life to the full with a wide range of interests and activities, sporting and cultural.
I am fortunate in having a great group of friends to share these but it's just not the same as being in a closer one-to-one.
I play tennis, pickleball and croquet and go out on walks - all at least weekly and I am kept very busy in my garden as now the sole gardener in the house.
I enjoy good food and wine whether in someone's home or dining out, including abroad where I am confident ordering and conversing in other languages.
I have always relished UK and foreign travel experiences, often arranged independently and in my family car or a hired car. I have recently also successfully tried foreign trips with a company dedicated to organising these for singles - but, enjoyable as these trips were, there was still that personal sharing element missing.
I regularly attend at concerts, theatre and cinema and, being very interested in current affairs, delight in conversations about all of these with equally interested others.
I consider myself relaxed, honest, sincere, loyal, reliable, sociable, fun-sharing, interesting, adventurous, open, trusting, considerate, well-presented and well-mannered - hopefully an attractive profile for the right lady out there!
About his ideal match
I won't even try to be over-clever or gimmicky in listing the qualities I would look for in a match.
You will simply be a personable, well-presented and like-minded lady to regularly and closely share all the pleasures, enjoyment and even occasional disappointments of experiences where two really do make better than one.
You've seen my profile so you can decide if we might be a match.
I know you are out there somewhere and look forward to hearing from you.
