In His Own Words
About him
A typical day for me would be reading and writing about history, practicing and teaching Tai Chi, gardening and cooking. If that sounds a bit isolated, it is true that I am able to spend quite a bit of time on my own but I also have lots of friends and family nearby who I meet up with regularly for drinks and meals!
I enjoy movies and theatre, though these days the movies are often streaming and when I go out it will usually be to live music: I’m happy to listen to anything good but have a preference for folky singer-songwriters and classical Baroque.
As a result of my work as a historian I have friends all over the world, especially in the Far East which I hope to visit again soon. But my travel nowadays is mainly around the British Isles to visit family in Scotland and Ireland.
I’m an empathetic and caring person and I would like to see a lot of improvements in the way we live in society and treat the natural world around us.
About his ideal match
I would like to meet an attractive lady who knows her own mind but cares about other people. She would be available, responsive and honest. Someone who understands that successful intimacy is based on openness and empathy and that it sometimes takes a bit of effort on both sides.
I would enjoy discussing our interests and ideas … going out to movies, theatre and music … cooking for each other … going for walks and bigger trips together … and supporting each others’ efforts in life.
I’m open to learning a lot through a new relationship.
