In His Own Words
About him
Honest, caring and an open book. I don't lie - and I don't expect you to. In the spirit of which I have to say that I'm currently talking with someone I've met on here so am not currently looking to develop any other relationship, although I'm always happy to exchange an email or two
I enjoy moments of serenity & solitude (meditate when I can) - but life is so much better when those intimate moments are shared. A fairly emotional person easily moved by sunsets, happy endings & music, it would be nice to share those moments with an equally appreciative soul.
I teach in a logical, maths based environment, but am a frustrated artist & love spending time out with my camera. I enjoy connecting with nature and the countryside, but in equal measure enjoy the buzz of a city and the culture of an art gallery or stately home.
I find so much to enjoy close to home that I don't have any burning desire to cruise around the world or go snorkeling in the Seychelles (nice as that may be!). I enjoy new experiences and new places, city breaks etc, but if you're not equally happy in your own back yard, then I'm afraid I'm not for you!
I love really getting to know people, but don't do 'acquaintances'. There's nothing better than having a cosy evening REALLY getting to know someone and I'd love to find someone that's happy to share on a deeper level. There's nothing better than a deep and meaningful discussion over a glass of wine!
I do have a fun side as well though, although my humour is a bit off the wall - I prefer Karl Pilkington and Michael McIntyre to more slapstick comedy
It would be nice to meet someone who can talk about life and death while listening to Leonard Cohen one moment and then laugh and my idiotic behaviour the next! And someone who enjoys physical closeness would be a bonus - holding hands, snuggling on the sofa, quiet moments together that make the world seem a better place.
About his ideal match
Someone that appreciates the beauty of life, the gift of friendship and can take the ups and downs of life in their stride. Someone who values the gift of sharing your innermost thoughts with another. Someone who appreciates their own space. Someone who is happy enough with life that doesn't need to escape to far off places to be happy. Oh... and someone that is unable to listen to the ending of Mahler's 2nd or 8th with a dry eye!
If you're the sort of person that would enjoy:
1.A cosy evening on the sofa with a bottle of wine and meaningful conversation late into the night.
2.Walking hand in hand through the woods in the rain.
3.Sipping an espresso at the Tate.
4.Dancing (badly) around the kitchen (pointy fingers allowed)
5.Sharing a box of tissues at the end of a film
6.Being with someone that would be their best friend and put their happiness first.
........ then we just might get along.
And don't be afraid to write or reply to an e-mail!!! It doesn't necessarily mean we'll be together for ever!!!!! But it might mean that we both end up, at the very least, with a good friend we wouldn't have otherwise had. That's sometimes more precious than anything - and any relationship needs friendship too.
