In His Own Words
About Him
Romantic Philematologist, free, enjoying my own "Space" and not particularly seeking a "Live-in" relationship, I'm looking for a special friend [possibly more] to spend quality time with - Live shows, restaurants and possible break-aways.
I ran an electronic development company, primarily dealing with the casino industry (Export) supplying cashless slots systems. Work from home in Gonubie, Used to Travel overseas two or three times a year, but recently kept to South Africa. Now creating computer systems for commerce. Possibility of holidays to interesting destinations.
Reading and trying to complete cryptic crosswords occupy some of my leisure time. Still trying to find a way of breathing through my ears!!!
An avid learner and a very patient teacher.
Five foot ten (in old money), 85kg or thereabouts, grey eyes, changing to hazel or blue, depending on weather or mood.
Not in bad condition for one who actually was there when the events that led to the song American Pie occurred. Friends indicate that I often behave as if we were still in the 70's
I have a good (Dry) sense of humour, can be romantic, tactile, sensuous, considerate and tender - Protective of those that I hold close.
Generally laid-back privately, but very firm when necessary.
Enjoy a wide variety of music, and tolerate the remainder (Except Rap). Not into loud parties or discos, prefer a relaxed and more intimate environment.
I am a considerate smoker (I realise it's a social no-no), and not planning on giving up just yet!
Edit: Lockdown has encouraged me to minimise this habit, and has resulted in complete cessation. Not a bad thing, but just hope that I don't become an annoying anti-smoking zealot.
If you enjoy good company, relaxing together, sharing a bottle of (anything except pink) wine, eating out (or in - I'm an enthusiastic chef) - marveling at the power of the ocean - or socializing with a few friends, but still enjoy your own space - then I would like to hear from you.
About His Ideal Match
Not necessarily in order of importance:
Intelligence, with the ability (and desire) to communicate
on more than one level or subject.
Tolerance - I'm not perfect, even if you are!
Sense of humour (You'll need it).
Tactile and enjoying spontaneous PDA's.
Requiring no effort to be a Lady (In public, at least).
Not afraid of what the future may hold.
Not Ultra-clingy. (No mandatory requirement for daily messages - if we are dating, there should not be the need for continual reassurance - I'm here for you, no question.).
Appreciative of TLC and being treated as a woman deserves.
___________***************** ____________
Preferably a Lady in a similar situation, that can understand the pressures of business and appreciates special times together as well as enough "Me time".
