In His Own Words
About him
I am generally optimistic (as shown by being on this site). I enjoy life especially when it is shared with a special other person. I am even tempered, not given to tantrums, know what it is like to have loved and been loved. I try to live in the ‘now’, and have learned how to be alone without being lonely
My enjoyment comes from helping others, making something, or learning something new with a companion. Satisfaction comes from making a positive impact on other peoples’ lives though my therapeutic work. I should add that I really enjoy travelling to Spain, France, Italy and Greece among others.
About his ideal match
Ideally someone attractive, realistic, intelligent, humorous and kind.. Someone with her own interests and activities, who is clear as to what she wants and needs in a relationship.
Someone who is as happy being at home with me as dining out in a good restaurant. I'm not looking for a paragon but a real woman.
