In His Own Words
About Him
By day, I lead teams as a Managing Director. By weekend, I trade the boardroom for my woodworking workshop and the open road. I have a deep creative streak and love working with my hands—usually restoring vintage clocks or woodworking.
To unwind, nothing beats a country drive in an open-top sports car to a cosy country restaurant perhaps finding a picnic spot alongside a river, visiting a wild life sanctuary, or taking time out to spend a weekend at a scenic and exotic venue, great to also host a great dinner party or a braai for friends and family visiting.
In joining this site, I am hoping to find that unique partner, that would compliment my attributes, simply, I'm loving, caring, open and honest, a one woman man, am romantic, supportive and would always give more than what I get back, never have expectations, just someone to join me at the hip, and take off to eventually soar with eagles.
My narratives are genuine and sincere, if you have similar values, lets go for it, I'm certainly not on the site to play games or mess with emotions, the same in return.
About His Ideal Match
A warm, independent woman who appreciates both ambition and the art of slowing down. Someone who enjoys good conversation, fresh country air, and a relaxed, grounded lifestyle.
Showing similar traits would be great, but I don't really buy pretentious wannabees, or self centered and egotistical people.
Someone who is confident in her own skin, positive in outlook, capable of loving and being loved, feminine, affectionate and caring.. Not a lot to ask???
I’m no typist and not looking to form any long term cyber relationships, but would rather start with a few mails, chat on the phone and then to meet and be seated across a table, while we looked into one another’s eyes, discovering the softer realities of each other.
Or let’s drive out to a scenic country cafe for lunch, or grab a coffee and stroll through an artisan wood and antique market.
