In His Own Words
About Him
I've seen and done a few things, and am about to see and do a few more. I'm educated and cultured but unpretentious. I don't need much stuff, prefer to live simply, and greet any person whatever their situation. I am a university qualified architect, went farming instead, and now write and make swords. I am a single dad for a couple of years more. After this, I might go farming again - Klein Karoo most likely. I have a great sense of humour once I feel comfortable, but I'm a bit shy with new people. I love meeting them though. I like nature and art, live music and I read plenty of non fiction. Right now I have a simple life centred around our home. I'd like to meet someone passionate, intelligent and confident who understands I can't at present be more than I am, a dad. I myself am sensual, and don't do the alone adult thing very well. Looking for a Girl. Friend. (Edit: I've been here 6 weeks without one meeting... so I'm serious and definitely not playing).
About His Ideal Match
I prefer beauty without makeup or styling - natural clear-faced femininity without pastiche. Positive, humorous, intelligent, interested and critically realist. Someone who I can talk to and be close to in silence also.
And I want to fall in love with you.
One note: Here, if you click "non-negotiable" for something trivial, I won't be able to contact you.
