In His Own Words
About him
I'm fit and healthy living near Romsey. I'm an optimist and my cup is always half full. I hope I dont look, act or dress my age. Remember age is only a number.
My late wife died from cancer in 2020 after almost fifty years of marriage. I'm looking for someone to enjoy the rest of my life with. This may or may not be 24/7 who knows where the path leads. I enjoy walking both in the country side and the beach. I enjoy holidays in the UK and abroad. I also like cruising. I enjoy live music, theatre and shows. In fact I probably enjoy most things. I'm very loyal and trustworthy. I'm a good listener, I was a Samaritan for many years until work commitments caused me to stop. I have been a befriender at [@] Cancer Support Center and currently help [@] Young Carers.
Evenings out or cosy evenings in with the right person are equally enjoyable. There's nothing better than cuddling up on the sofa in front of a real fire. I love going out to restaurants, black tie events, and cosy meals at home. I'm sure there are many more things I could tell you about myself but they'll have to wait until we hopefully meet.
I'd firstly like to meet someone over coffee and perhaps a walk. Then if we get on well see how we go from there.
All my photos were taken in 2025. My profile photo and three others were taken September 2025.
So go on get in touch. There's no commitment and who knows you may even get coffee and cake or lunch. OR a partner for life!!
About his ideal match
Someone who is fit and enjoys within reason, an active life. Someone who is loyal and affectionate. Someone who loves to travel and visit new places. Ideally I'd prefer a widow but I'm not against a divorcee. I'm definitely not interested in someone who will bring a lot of baggage with them. Ideally I'd like someone who lives within 40 miles of me. However for the right person who knows.
