Dear madam,

Amidst these vast amounts of overly attractive and utterly interesting men I will try to get your attention.

When I’m not spending time with my son you can usually find me in my garden, tending the vegetables, or in my library reading a good book. I love long walks on an autumn’s evening or watching an old movie. I love talking for hours on end. I’m quite the decent story teller - even if I say so myself - and I love hearing your stories.

Yes, I am married but my marriage is dying slowly. The fire went out and it’s getting lonelier by the year. That’s why I am here. To find someone to be with me. Let’s be each other’s rock, the one we turn to when we’re feeling sad or when we have something exciting to tell. Let’s make things real. I want to smile when I see your name in my inbox and want you to smile to when you see mine.

As to my looks, I am very average on all levels. Don’t expect some overly handsome European halfgod. I’m not tall and I don’t have a sixpack, though I do a lot of sports to stay healthy.

What do I expect of you? Be yourself! And talk. I love people who talk a lot. There’s nothing better than an lengthy conversation over a nice cup of coffee. But yes, I do have my preferences. Usually I am attracted to shorter, more traditional woman who try to stay healthy as well. Mind you, I don’t expect you to have to perfect measurements, nor do I want you to live in a kitchen. But yes, I am old fashioned.

Talk to me! Let me know what brings you here. And answer me this one very important question: what’s your favorite flavor of ice cream?

So, are you ready for a lovely evening stroll?
