In His Own Words
About him
I like to think of myself as relaxed and easygoing. I’m reasonably comfortable in my own skin. It’s not exactly a bespoke fit but it’s probably the best off-the-peg fit I’m likely to get. I'm quite shy too which isn't the best personality trait to have when you are back on the dating scene after many years.
My main interest is music, particularly live music. It would be nice to have a partner to go with to these events. Sharing an experience makes it so much more fun. I (attempt to) play the guitar and am currently learning to play the Dobro.
A second love is cooking. I enjoy the whole process-from chopping onions and mixing ingredients to finally sliding something in the oven. I put it down to the fact that my parents never let me have a chemistry set when I was younger. It is a great sadness to me that after years of trying I am still unable to chop onions as quickly as a TV chef. I often find myself in tears over it - although I have yet to ascertain whether the tears are a result of the sadness or the onions. The novelty of cooking for one soon wears off so a willing partner to share meals with would be wonderful.
I'm looking for a kindred spirit to enjoy the simple things of life with - and some of the complicated things too. As is often said in profiles, it's difficult to put in writing what you are looking for - someone to feel close to physically and mentally - you just know when you find it. It's all down to the chemistry when you meet.
In my younger days there was a song called ‘The Whole Wide World’ by Wreckless Eric. The opening lines were ...
“When I was a young boy
Mamma would say to me
There’s only one girl in the world for you
But she probably lives in Tahiti”
I’m rather hoping there might be someone a little closer.
About his ideal match
I’ll work on this as soon as I am able. Just want to think about it for a while.
