Southerner (52) from Tyne and Wear

I'm getting fed up with people on these dating websites who are just playing - I'm here to find someone special I can share the rest of my life with! Are there any other genuine people out there?

I wonder why so many people seem content to just continue their life on their own? Is that you're scared of commitment? I find most women just want a part-time boyfriend, to fit in with their life as it is!

Well I'm looking for the whole deal . . . looking for someone who isn't afraid of that.

I am very easy-going, affectionate, tactile, never jealous or aggressive. I'm passionate, enjoy good conversation, and quite old-fashioned when it comes to treating my partner like a lady.

I believe life is for living, so enjoy doing all kinds of things. Visiting Places, Theatre, Cinema, Restaurants, but also enjoy cosy nights in watching a good film with a glass of red wine. I am happy walking in the country or dancing in a nightclub, variety is the spice of life, it just shouldn't be boring!

I also think it's important to be happy and optimistic, hate people who are negative and miserable! I try to stay slim and fit, enjoy tennis, squash, swimming, windsurfing, photography, driving fast, music, computers, singing/playing guitar, even shopping!

I have a really interesting job, but find life is pointless without someone special to share all of the above with.

Fun-loving, easy-going, tactile, caring, attractive and sexy. Someone who wants their partner to be their best friend, their solemate, as well as their lover.

Someone who still wants to be walking hand in hand together in our 90's.
