In His Own Words
About him
I am an unrepentant overthinker, fascinated by the world, by ideas, and by the deeper threads that bind us. As Socrates so beautifully said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” I have taken that to heart. I lean toward the intellectual, but I am just as content pondering life’s mysteries with a cup of tea as I am discussing them over a glass of something stronger.
Travel, for me, needs a purpose. I am not one for aimless wandering, but give me a reason such as art, history, faith, family, or curiosity, and I shall be packed before you finish the sentence.
Family is central to my world. My children and grandchildren are a source of profound joy and a steadying anchor in life’s shifting tides.
I was well brought up. I say please and thank you, I hold doors open, and I try not to speak ill of others unless absolutely necessary. Politeness is second nature, although I value sincerity above performance.
I am not looking to merge households or calendars. Cohabitation does not appeal. Life is too short to invite unnecessary entanglements. What I value is companionship: shared values, mutual warmth, good conversation, and the pleasure of each other’s company, not shared bathrooms. For that reason, it matters to me to find someone nearby, close enough for spontaneous meetings, long walks, and unhurried conversation.
If you enjoy deep conversation, have a sense of humour about life’s contradictions, and can honour both faith and folly, we may already be kindred spirits.
About his ideal match
Looking for a kindred spirit, someone for conversation, companionship, and, if the stars align, something deeper.
I am at a stage in life where dithering feels like a luxury I cannot afford. Life is too short for detours. I am not seeking cohabitation, and certainly not complication. What I value is tolerance, kindness, and mutual respect—the quiet foundations that make companionship meaningful. I have lived enough to know that most of us carry our own scars and sensitivities, and I believe any relationship worth its salt begins with an acceptance of that simple truth.
That said, emotional steadiness is essential. I am drawn to those who are sane, grounded, and comfortable in their own skin. Life is dramatic enough without unnecessary theatrics.
Ideally, you live within about twenty miles. I am looking for something grounded and real, not a long distance correspondence.
I enjoy walking, cooking, painting, writing, and listening to music. I like working with my hands and find joy in creating things, however small. I would love to meet someone who shares an appreciation for life’s quieter pleasures, and for the kind of conversations that range from the deeply serious to the delightfully absurd. A sense of humour is essential (gallows humour especially welcome), along with curiosity and emotional honesty.
A shared outlook matters more to me than identical beliefs, but I do value a reflective spirit and an openness to life’s spiritual dimensions, whatever shape that may take for you.
If any of this resonates, and you are a warm, thoughtful, and fundamentally sane human being, I would be glad to hear from you.
