..in my day, you had to work for it, you had to want it, need an S? You better click the 7 button four times.

I'm just the bloke next door, from the UK with grown up kids and a wife, on the surface we seem fine just like everyone else, but underneath things are sometimes not so perfect.

Things that i like: lazy mornings, people watching, the warm sun on my skin, fresh coffee, the smell of freshly cut grass, rum (spiced or dark), teasing, exploring castles and forests (not hiking), long drives in the countryside, 90's alternative music, cooking and trying new foods, psychological films, late nights and early lazy mornings, drawing/sketching, dogs.

Things i dont like: one worded responses, going to bed early, cats, twats riding scooters, being out in the cold, crowds of people, being stuck behind slow walking people, cold showers, noisy people in the cinema, dancing.

My bad points: over thinking, i have been called intense before, and i have a tendency to take things to heart.

I make no apologies for being who i am, the older i get, i seem to care less about what people think or say these days. I'm more comfortable in my skin than ever before and i know what i like and what i dont like. I'm straight up honest and will say what's on my mind but at the same time, im empathic (sometimes it's a curse, and yes it's contradictory) and wear my heart on my sleeve. I'm prone to over thinking and sometimes worry about the little things in life, because the little things are actually really important.

You: from the UK, are a woman who is good with her words, you tend to 'think outside of the box', aren't constrained to convention, and who can bring a bit of banter and sarcasm to the table, but also able to show your softer side. You are confident, with a dark sense of humour. If you call yourself the mum next door with a mum bod, or curvaceous then you'd most probably turn my head.

Me: I'm quietly confident and fairly intelligent, easy to get along with, inquisitive, down to earth and fairly laid back when in good company, im more of a glass half full type of man, i love bringing positive vibes to the people i care about. I consider myself to be a gentleman, polite, courteous and emotionally available. I'm average height, high metabolism, considered attractive, been told i have nice kind eyes and that i look younger than i am.
