dandammann (40) from West Yorkshire

Just like a new job, I offer excellent benefits.

I've been living in England now for the past 10 yrs and feel super-homely here. First thing that stands out about me as a person: I have a surprisingly well-developed humour, quite untypical for a German (no need to crack deliberate jokes, simply wait 'til you hear my accent: hilarious).

I'm a mixture of easy going, fun loving, kind & emotionally switched on. I'm open-minded and understanding of other people and their points of view and at the same time, ha ... wait til you hear my own opinions about things, cos I have quite a few on offer. I am the guy to have meaningful conversions with.

Even though my base line mood is quite laid back, I'm far from horizontal, as I can be pretty spontaneous at times. I am not per se an extroverted person, but once I feel comfortable with people, I become engaging and fun to be with. I have been told that even after years in a relationship I still "don't cease to amaze".

In terms of interests I'm probably as much a going-out as a staying-in type. I'm young-looking for my age and find it easy to fit into the crowd when going to gigs and clubs (yes too right: I like both rock & dance). Would love to find someone, who likes to do things culturally (may this be youth-culture or proper culture) and also enjoys a fine dinner at home with a glass of (very) good wine and a wicked movie afterwards (ok, this may not be the most exotic list of interests, but this is what I like doin').

I am looking for someone who's got a good heart and a bit of spark (if you don't mind). Wallflower kind of girls, I know you may be good people too, but sorry just not right for me. Apart from that there really isn't a common thread as to what kinda girl I like or don't like.

You can't really tell much about people anyway just from reading a paragraph or two. If you feel there is some initial attraction, I'd be interested in finding out more about you ... either by email, phone or in person, whichever way you're most comfortable with.
