In His Own Words
About him
In my garden, on the edge of a lovely market town it's a glorious Cotswold blue sky summer afternoon, butterflies fluttering, dogs gently panting in the shade. The only other sounds are the buzzing of bees and the church bells ringing for a wedding,far enough away to sound mellow on the breeze. In some ways it feels idyllic, cold drink to hand, newspaper to read. I would love to share this with someone but I don't know how to find him. Hence Telegraph dating.
I'm a single man, a nice guy alone after the death of my husband in 2023. I'm educated, cultured, but not in a stuffy way. I have mourned my partner's death and it's time for someone special to come into my life. I'm casting my fate to the wind and hope a beau will materialise. I have a dry sense of humour and would like someone who appreciates irony. I'm not fussed too much by looks and prefer someone interested and interesting. with an open-minded outlook on life. I have an enquiring mind and a way with words.
About his ideal match
I'd like to meet a caring man who's urbane, got his act together, sincere and open to a degree of compromise and change. Good-looking is great, but beauty fades, (I should know) dumb is forever, a meeting of minds is more important. I'd like someone who "gets" the lyrics of "Dance Me to the End of Love" (Leonard Cohen) and is moved by them. That about sums it up.
P.S. Please have a photo.
