In His Own Words
About him
The few who know me would describe me as intelligent, wise, compassionate, a deep thinker who always strives to help others to achieve their best; someone who gives all and holds nothing back when they connect to another, yet who is a very private person.
I would describe myself as a very caring person who struggles to see anyone or anything suffering. I connect to others very deeply, but I can be somewhat naive when it comes to relationships as I can confuse the 'needs' of another with their 'wants'
I do not like people smoking near me, but I do not mind if people drink occasionally when socializing, but I do not drink or smoke myself. I like to eat simply and I am a vegan. I enjoy long walks, especially by the sea or through nature. I enjoy feeling connected to others, talking about life, holding hands, watching films, looking at art and crafts and listening to music. I enjoy being around compassionate people who care about others, animals and our planet. I do not like bias, bigotry or any form of 'ism' i.e. sexism etc.
For pleasure, I read anything that stimulates my interest in humanity which could be fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, or philosophy. I enjoy listening to classical music, walking through nature, trying to play my saxophone, which I am not that good at. I also enjoy various arts and crafts such as doing origami, which also helps me to relax.
My outlook on life is that I am a cynical romantic or a pessimistic optimist in that I often expect the worst but still hope for the best. I try to keep a positive outlook on life and I try to approach life and treat it as a special gift which is supposed to be used to improve the lives of all one connects with. I guess I am a dreamer looking for that special someone to share that dream life with.
About his ideal match
In short, I am looking for my soul-mate. I am looking for someone who is looking for a spiritually enriching intimate relationship. I am looking for someone who is compassionate, understanding, forgiving, patient, and supportive. I would like them to be good communicators and who are always willing to talk over any issues they or indeed I have so that they can be easily resolved, which is essential for any long-term relationship to survive and grow stronger and healthier. I need someone who is both honest and reliable. For me the ultimate 'deal breaker' is when one loses the trust and respect for each other that they are entitled to receive and deserve.
The experiences I would like to share with my potential soul-mate is the feeling of a growing sense of spiritual love between us, spending quiet moments just walking and holding hands and smiling at nature; sharing hugs and a joy for life; visiting places of cultural interest; listening to music and watching films together; reading together and discussing what we have learned. I wish to share with my partner, my true soul-mate my love, my life, my joy and my passion for life in all of its glorious beauty.
