In His Own Words
About him
Kind thinker, likes talking with people - would far rather have a good conversation over a coffee or red wine than go to a pub or club.
Love the outdoors - hiking, going for walks, Not into watching sport or TV.
Creative scientist/engineer, now at top management level, but still likes inventing things, both for work and at home.
Good cook,
Definitely an 'owl' - 'breakfast conversation' is an oxymoron!
Environmental leanings - recycling/conservation, but not a fanatic.
I have two lovely, easy going daughters, of 21 and 23 years - they are finishing their university studies in New Zealand.
Into listening to music - classical and rock - (almost anything except jazz/rap/country!)
Happy at home, but also love exploring - would rather travel backpacker style for longer to get to know a country better. Occasional burst of luxury is nice too, though!
Pythonesque sense of humour and an appreciation of the absurd - fun to be around.
I live and work in Luebeck, Northern Germany, and am doing my best to learn the language as fast as I can - a work in progress!
About his ideal match
a confident professional, but warm and caring.
A thinker, capable of wide ranging intelligent conversation.
Ultimately I would like to find someone special to love, and be my best friend.
Someone to walk along a beach with, holding hands.
An equal and balanced relationship.
Down to earth with a good sense of humour, to enjoy some relaxing outdoor times, and share evenings, movies, dinners, a glass of wine -
Definitely a non-smoker, -
And, more important than all of the above is that mysterious 'chemistry' - can't define it, can't judge it over emails, but it exists nonetheless. So I would like to meet for the coffee/glass of wine thing soon-ish, rather than doing endless messaging.
But very importantly, if we don't click on the romance thing, I would still like to have friends to go hiking, explore Europe, go to movies etc with, so if that is all you are feeling is suitable, lets talk also....
