In His Own Words
About him
I’m Richard, an English gentleman of 81, living near Truro in Cornwall. I’m curious about life, affectionate by nature, and hoping to meet a lady with whom friendship can blossom into a loving, lasting romance.
Classical music and opera are among my greatest pleasures. From Handel and Mozart to Verdi and Wagner, I love music that stirs the emotions—and the thought of sharing a favourite performance with someone special makes it more appealing still. I also enjoy ballet, photography, discovering new places, and the simple pleasure of good conversation over coffee or a candlelit dinner.
My life has taken me through scientific research, teaching, and work in Britain, America and the Philippines. Those experiences have given me plenty of stories, but I’m just as interested in hearing yours. A lively mind, a warm smile and a sense of humour are very attractive to me.
I value honesty, kindness and affection. I’m agnostic, a non-smoker, and drink only an occasional small glass. I appreciate thoughtful conversation, gentle laughter, and the closeness that grows when two people feel at ease together.
I’m open to meeting a lady in either the UK or Germany, and would happily travel to explore a promising connection. For the right person, the journey would be no trouble for me at all.
About his ideal match
My ideal match is a warm, affectionate lady who values honesty, kindness and a sense of humour. Someone who enjoys classical music or opera would be a delight, although we needn’t share every interest. I’m drawn to a curious mind and an independent spirit, with a flexible, open-minded outlook on life.
Above all, I hope to meet someone who wants a loving romantic relationship, with mutual attraction, tenderness, laughter and the pleasure of sharing life’s little moments. She might live in the UK or Germany; for the right person, the journey would be no trouble for me at all.
