In His Own Words
About him
I may be getting on but still haven`t turned grey yet. I'm a fun, calm and caring gentleman who enjoys the company of others. Friends say I have a knack of making people feel completely comfortable and at ease.
I love the outdoors whether just in the garden or further afield roaming along the beaches or in the hills with my dogs.
When it comes to dating, I believe in taking the time to truly get to know someone. I want to make sure that any lady I`m with feels comfortable and safe in my company, knowing that she is valued for who she is.
About his ideal match
I live alone and I`m looking to meet a special someone to share fun times together. Someone with a similar life philosophy so that we can chat about the topics we both find interesting. Someone to enjoy shared activities with and to go places with. But most importantly to meet someone to laugh with.
