In His Own Words
About him
Not really, but now I've got your attention, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dave, I'm a 25 year old trapped in a 67 year old body. I'm 5'1¾". what I lack in height, I make up for with my razor sharp wit 😉. I've been single for three years now, and feel it's time I found someone to go out and have some fun with. Someone to go out for meals, walks by the sea or in the countryside. Someone to go to concerts with, or just for coffee and cake, and a bit of people watching.
Most of all, I'm looking for someone who is willing to give me a push on the swings if nobody's watching.
I'll just get this out of the way: I have a rare medical condition called Klippel-Feil Syndrome and my mobility is a bit crap. I use a walking stick when I'm out and about.
I enjoy a walk in the country or along the seafront, but I can't walk too far, and I can't dance. I can't sing either, but that doesn't stop me.
I'm often mistaken for a Hollywood film star. It's ET, but you have to take what you can get don't you?
I asked my friends and family to describe me. Most of them declined to comment, so I'll have to make something up. I'm kind, compassionate, funny, loyal, down to earth, intelligent and most important, fully house trained. I'm easy going, but I don't suffer fools. I don't take myself too seriously and I have a dry, sometimes quirky; often sarcastic; occasionally obscure sense of humour. I like all kinds of comedy, I'm a big Monty Python fan. I enjoy watching documentaries, and I'm very interested in science and how the universe works. I'm also a sci-fi fan, Star Trek being a favourite, but I don't dress up or speak Klingon, I struggle enough with English.
I have an eclectic taste in music, and like anything from ABBA to ZZ Top, including classical and hard rock.
All of my photos were taken this century 😊.
I'm initially looking for friendship and see where that leads.
If you've read this far, and you would like to chat, why not send me a message. You never know, we could be made for each other.
About his ideal match
My ideal match would be someone who doesn't take herself too seriously, but can be serious when she needs to be.
I love dogs, and I hope you do too.
It would be great if we both enjoy live music.
I want to meet someone who is kind, compassionate, caring, patient and funny.
What His Friends Say
Ian Hold said...
I first met Dave at the Astronaut training school. He was very keen but unfortunately failed the height test, as did I. We both drowned our sorrows and decided that NASA can go themselves. On a more serious note, this man is an inspiration to me. I have known him for over 30 years and he is the most positive person I have ever met. We have a similar sense of humour, unfortunately not everyone gets it. He has been through a lot, both mentally and physically and still laughs at life. Passionate, funny, intelligent. His sons friends think he's cool, and you can't get much cooler than that. He is an absolute diamond, you need to get to know him! Please form an orderly queue.
