In His Own Words
About him
I'm young(ish) free and single; a scientist by trade; I returned to the Oxford area for work in 2019 after working for 20+ years overseas (in Portugal and Australia); just by chance I am back living very near to the area where I grew up. I’ve been exploring the local area to see what’s changed since I got back. Outside of work, which takes up more of my time than I would like, I like to be on, near, or in the water whenever I can.
I wouldn't necessarily describe myself as the life and soul of a party, but I think (hope?) my friends would describe me as kind, friendly, positive, maybe a bit reserved at first around people I don't know. I'm definitely independent, but miss having someone in my life to share experiences with.
My biggest hobby used to be diving (anywhere. not just warm water), although these days colder water is becoming less and less appealing. I also like swimming, canoeing and have sailed in the past (up to RYA day skipper level) and I would love to get back into it one day. I also like cycling too, travelling, photography & long walks in the countryside (and city) as well. I like dining out (who doesn't?) concerts (classical as well as rock), theatre occasionally and the odd film or two, and I like wandering around art galleries and museums too.
Since I moved away, most of my friends have scattered to various parts of the UK and around the world, so I don’t get to see them too often these days, and I have fewer opportunities to get out and meet new people these days (either at work or outside of work); especially those of a similar age.
I was on this site before, but I took a break from here for a while, partly due to work, but also to think about whether this is a great way to meet people - I guess it's not ideal, but then enrolling on multiple evening classes and/or joining numerous clubs isn't really feasible either, so I'm back again, but hopeful I think.
About his ideal match
I would like to meet someone who is fun, smart, fit, to go out with, ideally with some common interests or who could introduce me to new ones...!. Hopefully to build a serious and committed relationship, based on trust, love, honesty, friendship and laughter too.
I'm not hung up on particular types, but you should be at least as active/curious as I am - I would prefer to be outside than inside any day whenever possible... country, riverside or seaside walks or trips.
Couch potatoes, hunters, anti-vaxxers and Brexiteers need not apply. Since I don't have children myself, I would probably prefer someone in the same situation, but I'm not averse to someone changing my mind about that...
As for location, ideally someone within 3-4 hours drive would be ideal, but it depends on the person of course... I do still have ideas of moving somewhere warmer at some point in the future - whether that's sooner or later (or ever) is still up in the air.
A sense of the ridiculous and/or absurd wouldn't go amiss either... probably needed more than ever these days.
If anything above resonates, please do get in touch, but please, no "one-liners"...
