In His Own Words
About him
I'm a friendly guy, can be a bit quiet sometimes, but I love getting into deep and interesting conversations. I was happily married for over 40 years, but lost my wife in 2022. It took me a while to come to terms with this, but I am trying to move on now and would love to meet someone who shares my interests and see where it leads. I don't have any children, but would be happy to meet up with someone that does. I get on well with most people, but dislike anyone who's loud and self opinionated - the complete opposite of myself. I love long walks and travelling, especially by train. Also 60s 70s and 80s music, in particular Motown, R&B and 60s sunshine pop. Staying in nice hotels, going to concerts and to the cinema. So far, all of my solo travels have been in the UK, but I have renewed my passport and it would be lovely to explore further, so much more so with the right person!
I like to support the charities that are important to me, and in 2023 I did a firewalk in aid of my local hospice. What a buzz that was! I was quite apprehensive beforehand, but had great support from the organisers and my fifty fellow firewalkers and felt so good afterwards.
I enjoy most sports, watching rather than participating and worked as a multi site retail manager for over 30 years before retiring early to care for my wife, which I did until the day she was taken from me.
I always try to have a positive outlook and I really do want to make the most of my life in the months and years to come. There would be no better way of doing that than finding someone really special to share it with. If you feel that someone special could be you, then please do get in touch. It would be lovely to hear from you.
About his ideal match
My ideal match would be someone who shares my interests and likes doing things together. Discovering new places, romantic meals in nice restaurants, going to the cinema and to concerts. Weekends away, by the sea or in the country are my favourites, but like the occasional city break too. My special person will be a lady who appreciates being treated well by her man, a lady who will give me back as much as I give her, where we put each other first and build a strong friendship, a special connection and closeness, which could lead to a shared and lasting relationship in which we can love and be loved.
