In His Own Words
About Him
Prized gifts are my life, health and many blessings. I don’t run with the pack. My character and reputation are very important to me. I would describe myself as having depth. Life is a learning experience. I’m principled.
I am a God-fearing, praying man but not a church-goer - more spiritual than religious.
Healthy relationships are valued. At the moment I am looking for online friendships only. I look forward to love, romance, and intimacy when the time comes. I’m a bit rusty LOL.
Personality-wise I’m optimistic, hopeful and always in a good mood. I have a playful, relaxed disposition with a good sense of humour. I consider myself well-grounded.
My health is very important to me, so I watch my diet and lifestyle to stay fit and in shape... to better qualify me for love and romance? LOL. I run every day
With my enquiring mind I have many interests – early Cape and SA history, architecture, geopolitics, reading, chess and nature. I love life’s beauty, nature, the ocean & mountains. Among my passions are music (good rock/metal, blues mostly) and great coffee.
As to my fun side, I enjoy action and arty movies, eating out, live sport sometimes, and I watch plenty of sport on TV. Don’t worry, I’m not fanatical LOL. I love road trips, enjoying the beauty and clicking away at old buildings in quiet towns. The great outdoors is a big attraction, especially the sea and the country. The silence of the Karoo...I like people and enjoy spending time with family and friends.
I am well-educated but place more value on being a student of the university of life, am well-read, and intellectual, hopefully not in a stuffy way LOL.
Professionally, I worked in corporate at all levels and in various sectors, and also headed and co-owned a company in the private sector. I did some audit committee work in the public sector.
The plan is to move back to Cape Town. I am a hopeless romantic. I have a few irons in the fire and will get back to dating when back in Cape Town.
About His Ideal Match
If I were dating...a gentle, gracious soul, a positive woman with an optimistic outlook. I value good conversation and interesting people, excellent communication skills, intelligence, a laid-back, sparkling personality, and a sense of humour. That special someone should not be too serious. She has presence and is wonderful and fun to be around. My ideal partner is warm, kind and compassionate towards all people. I like a strong personality, an independent woman yet someone who is down-to-earth. Coupled to honesty and integrity are strong values, obviously. My dream woman is well-groomed and takes care of herself. The girl in her readily comes to the fore, yet she is a woman, wise, objective and mature, who carries herself with aplomb in any situation. She is sophisticated and classy. She is high-calibre. Kindness and friendliness come naturally to such a woman. She is romantic. Mutual respect is a given. A relationship is not about always being right, having the last word. Drama doesn’t work for me, and arguments and unresolved conflicts. Perhaps life will bless me with romance and love, again, as if it were the first time! May the same be visited on the reader!
