Hi everyone, trying this again with a bigger net!

I am looking for someone who can hold a conversation, someone who lights up when they talk about their passions and hobbies or equally excited to learn about someone elses.

When I talk about things like writing, history, science, space and deep conversations about the universe, these things seriously ignite a passion in me. If you also share that passion then chances are we can just chuck good convo at each other for hours that has us both feeling a bit of a buzz.

Going to be honest, I have always found it easier to connect with women, but I really am open to anyone saying hi if you think we can connect.

If you are in the UK, expect to be available for hikes, walking, BBQs (once a year due to weather) and perhaps evening log fire chats over wine or beers.

I know hitting off initial conversation can be challenging, so a couple of starters we could discuss: I like reading, writing, art, painting models, games, electronics, science, music (Frank Sinatra is a legend) and films, I like photography so this last one shares that passion.

I'm putting a fair bit of effort in here, I would appreciate a bit more than a Hi please.

Don't worry about sharing looks or pictures, we can do that one day I guess for now it's about the connection and friendship.
