Sally from Leigh (69) from Essex

I'm outgoing and friendly, an old fashioned romantic with old fashioned values, but definitely not old fashioned! Young at heart, young in mind and, so I'm told, young in looks. I've a great zest for life, enjoy the outdoors, travel and seeing new places, meeting new people. I'm fun to be with, and - with the right person - am caring, thoughtful and loving.

I enjoy all the "usual" pursuits - wining and dining, theatre, cinema, Scrabble and quizzes. There are never enough hours in the day to do all the things I want to do! I live in Leigh-on-Sea, and would ideally like to meet someone who lives a reasonable distance.

He'd definitely be tall (taller than me) and slim-ish, with a great sense of fun and adventure. A non-smoker for sure and, prefererably, a family man who values his family and friends. A man who is interesting and interested! Sorry, I hate beards, so facial hair is out! My ideal partner would be - like me - a caring, thoughful person, and a bit of a romantic.

Having kissed too many frogs, I am now looking for a handsome prince - someone to share laughter, love and life.
