In His Own Words
About him
Having actually asked my friends, they apparently see me a warm, sensitive, intelligent with an outgoing personality.
I regard loyalty and being caring, be it as a friend or should something more result, as a cornerstone of my life.
I'm creative - worked 40 years in Marketing, am a Master Handloom Weaver, keen gardener, ambitious cook, love walking & cycling and classic film. Host: dinners/suppers with friends, croquet, picnics. Am a writer/researcher - history/genealogy.
Equally at home relaxing by my wood burner or out exploring a stately home or the open countryside of the Dales.
Outlook on life - feel comfortable who I am/my sexuality and open to opportunities to live life in a way now which was not really possible years ago.
Above all, whilst I love life and live it to the full, it would be wonderful to make more friends but especially to have someone to share all that life has to offer!
About his ideal match
In terms of a relationship ideally you are:
- single/looking for more than a casual hook-up.
- want to enjoy life and its possibilities.
- gay/out/comfortable with your sexuality - pref Vers/Top.
- willing and able to be open and honest and discuss your feelings to the extent of investing in a relationship.
Deal breakers for me:
- not willing to be monogamous.
- wearing 5 year old' grey/passion killing underwear.
- asking me to pretend to your family and friends that I'm just your 'straight running buddy' or being unwilling to share an occasional hug/kiss in public parting at a railway station .
- not being willing to 'dress for dinner' once a month - happy to provide if necessary : )
