In His Own Words

About him

Interests... In no particular order: the arts, current affairs, politics, history, walking, meeting people, live music, Radio 4, BBC 4, DIY and property renovation, conversation, pottering around in the garden, architecture, pub quizzes, or simply having a drink in a pub. I'm not sporty or competitive but enjoy watching football and cricket.

If I had to describe myself in a few words, and again in no order, then from among those I would choose would be cheerful, talkative, amusing, with a rather dry, self-deprecating sense of humour, a bit quirky, left-wing, tactile, resourceful, practical, optimistic, resilient, independent, organised, uncomplicated, unpretentious, straightforward, enthusiastic, thoughtful, direct, go-ahead and energetic.

Unrelated, I feel a person's job goes some way to defining them.
Paradoxically I never found my niche in life: initially qualifying as a teacher but never teaching.
I no longer work but spent most of my time in public sector administration in a variety of managerial or administrative roles. My final post was self-employed, giving procedural and administrative advice at school admission appeal tribunals.

First Meeting... Not interested in exchanging constant, polite, inane e-mails, texts or 'phone calls; this is, after all, a dating site, not a chat line.
.
Actions speak louder than words. As you will have guessed, I'm one for spontaneity and instant chemistry, and so would suggest meeting for a lunchtime drink or a cup of coffee to determine simply if we have much in common. I feel you can normally tell quite quickly if that spark of interest or rather a curiosity exists, and so if we don't "click" it's pointless prolonging the meeting and we could leave amicably.

Sharing a similar sense of humour goes a long way for me.

About his ideal match

What am I looking for? An equal, It's a partnership, not a takeover. A long-term relationship is the ultimate goal but initially, I would like to meet someone with whom I could discover some common ground and compatibility, in the hope that we would become good friends.
Who knows it may lead to something more special, for without that initial friendship we can't have a relationship, can we?
