Love and Friends - The UK Dating Site for Thinking People

Smyleawhyle

Self Employed

I'm 68 and from Durham, Durham, North East (UK)

I'm looking for a woman

I'm interested in: Friends, Romance or Long Term Relationship

[Last logged on : A long time ago]

The story so far...

Love learning new things; keeping fit and healthy; playing the piano; walking; exploring new places, cultures, and traditions; cooking - love all kinds of food and drink, but keep it healthy; reading - usually have some kind of text book on the go, but like to have a work of fiction handy to relax with; holidays and short breaks - so much better with someone to share things with. Oh, and I'm addicted to Emmerdale and Coronation St (and it was going so well up until here...)

Relaxed and easy going. Recent online psychological profile questionnaire said that I THINK I want to meet someone who is highly accomplished and driven, who takes good care of themselves and values outward physical chemistry (whatever that is!). It went on to say that what I apparently want is someone who:

1. Takes pride in their health, fitness and appearance.
2. Has existing economic security and resources (just like me).
3. Has infectious enthusiasm and drive.
4. Is "grounded" with strong identity, purpose and independence.
5. Garners respect and makes a good impression on others.

I seem to be attracted to strong women, and I enjoy being supportive and encouraging to them. Their happiness and success motivates me in everything I do...

Physical closeness is also important and I enjoy holding hands, hugging and just being with someone who feels special.
