In His Own Words
About him
...and perhaps then you'd like to stay a little longer.
Please read on.
Remember the sage words "Turn a different corner and we never would have met." (George Michael). Well, that could be a good or bad serendipitous moment
More Seriously,
"I'm aware,
My heart is a sad affair,
There's much disillusion there,
But I can dream, can't I?" (Irving Kahal lyric)
I have a grounded side and also can be a lot of fun. What can I say, I'm a Gemini.
I lost my partner, whom I met in 1980, almost two years ago (December 2023) following three years in a nursing home.
Effectively I've been on my own for just short of five years. My melancholy has now passed, so...
It's time for me to find someone new. Dating (or courting) is a Brave New World..🌎 "One day my prince will come" (Snow White, 1937).
I would like to find someone interested in sharing life, or aspects of life, with a new man.
A prospect that's uplifting, exciting, curious and a little daunting!
As I mentioned "I can dream, can't I?"
I am an affable chap, educated, still working, so still "current". I may appear posh to some, but I'm just a bit articulate and well-spoken - I have the common touch. 😏 I am comfortable and live on my own in a nice house in a smart Cotswold market town with my two pugs. I'm not on any medications and my body is very much in working order. I have people around me most days but come home to an empty house. I'd like some company, so shoot me!
A gentleman who must have been dropped on his head as a baby recently described me as luminous, so be warned - apparently I am radioactive and glow in the dark.
Also I have a truly wicked sense of humour. "Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but the highest form of intelligence.”― Oscar Wilde. Try me...
About his ideal match
A warm and caring open-hearted man who despite life's baggage still believes things
change and improve. New horizons still beckon if one's prepared to try again. I know what counts in life, through experience. Serendipity is real and hope springs eternal.
Life is for living and handling twists and turns. I can be leant on when things get tricky - believe me, been there. I would want you to be the same. Mostly I long to share the many good times that are yet to come.
