Hey there!

I'm a young looking 44 year old guy from the UK and would like to speak to women around the 35 - 45 age group though that's not a deal-breaker. I am 5'8, and of slim build. Brown hair. I have no children (don't mind if you do) and have been single for about 6 years. I have lots of good friends and am very sociable but I'm so over being single as I get kinda lonely, especially as I work and live alone, and that really sucks. Not really getting anywhere with dating sites and wanted to try this instead/again. I'm self-employed and have my own small business. I live a nice relaxing lifestyle and try to play by my own rules. For leisure I like walking and trekking in nature, cycling, good conversation, podcasts, vintage clothing, pubs & restaurants, techno & indie music, quirky cinema, reading graphic novels, doing abstract painting and sometimes a bit of cooking. Though cooking for one is depressing! I'm into some sports (boxing, football, darts, horses, cricket and snooker) but my playing days are kinda behind me now. Cannot stand social media and that self-obsessed culture. Working on my mental health. I am one of life's talkers and think I'm also a good listener. I read a lot and i’m left wing in my outlook. Probably couldn't date a right winger. People say I'm direct and to the point and that I don't beat around the bush. I don't really mind where you are from, even somewhere overseas, I'm just looking for a genuine spark and I have to try. I'm hoping to travel more next year as have been saving up for some trips overseas, probably to Thailand as I have a friend there. I feel I'm kinda living on the periphery of life, watching everyone else be happy and need to break the cycle somehow. If you like what you hear then get in touch. Inbox is open!
