Freelance Writer

I'm 70 and from London

I'm looking for a man

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

[Last logged on : A long time ago]

Hello... Well, that's the formalities over with.

If I wrote this over a period of a month I am sure it would be different every day. It's tricky to condense all of me (all of anybody) into a few paragraphs but there is a box to be filled so I will try, but beware it may not be the whole truth or even part of the truth.

I am a warm and friendly soul (so I'm told), with oodles of charm (so say I modestly) who is endlessly curious about life and people. I love the unexpected, originality and variety... new things, new places, new people. I like being with people, especially interesting people with good conversation and a curious, open mind and I rather like my own company too. I love to talk, sing, paint, create, every which way I can express myself makes me happy. I believe good communication is really, really, really (is that enough really's?) important in a relationship... Over to my wish list, all this talking about myself is exhausting.

You are without doubt a lovely man, someone who can charm me, challenge me, keep me on my toes and make me laugh... you're definitely a man of integrity, you are kind (even when no one is looking) and loving and you're at ease with yourself and others… and you're a good communicator who can express what you're thinking and feeling so when we misunderstand each other, disagree or just don't like each other temporarily, which we will, we will be able to talk it through and listen till peace and harmony reigns once more ... the final ingredient is magic, there does need to be a little bit of magic between us that is indefinable, inexplicable and totally incurable. If there is something in this profile that prompts you to write to me, remember I value communication so please no winks or nods or tick boxes I much prefer words.

One last thought then I'll disappear off your radar... the digits in my age... they make me laugh and are a constant surprise ...when did that happen?
