In His Own Words
About him
Hi! So I'm new to this and finding it hard to know how to start. I suppose the most important thing I want to say is that I believe myself to be a genuine, warm kind of person. If you're looking for the strong, silent type then you'd be better off looking elsewhere. I'm reasonably strong but rarely silent. Rather, I'm open, honest and friendly.
Foremost among my passions is, without doubt, music. I play guitar and sing, both solo, and in bands from time to time. But no, unfortunately, you've never heard of me. I've recorded an album but it's never troubled the charts. I've also written two novels for that matter and still looking for a publisher. Maybe success has yet to come; maybe not. Either way, I'll continue to write and play 'cause it's what I do.
Of course I love listening to music and reading books as well. And going to the theatre, cinema, galleries and so on. However, I also love playing football and other sports so it's not all arty stuff.
The only things which are more important to me than all of the above are, of course, my two wonderful (I would say that) teenage children.
Ok, for fear I might be coming across as a bit wishy washy I should point out that I have a keen sense of humour and strong opinions which I'm happy to express. I have deeply held convictions - generally of the lefty/liberal type - which I'll always stick up for, so I'm no stranger to a good argument.
In short: I believe I'm a principled and caring person. If I like something (or someone) I'm not afraid to show it. Hopefully I'll get the chance to prove that.
About his ideal match
I'm looking for someone who is open and honest. Someone who cares for others but also wants to be cared for. Someone with strongly-held principles that they're not afraid to express (but who'll do so kindly). Someone who doesn't play games unless everyone agrees to the rules. Someone who is passionate and thoughtful. Someone who doesn't live up to all of the above but at least aspires to most of it. Someone loving.
