In His Own Words
About him
Hello & welcome.
I cherish privacy, rarely use social media & prefer the real world to online noise. So my images are hidden. If you've read this far, thank you.
-
We only have 2 things of value - love & time
There was a chap named Pete
Who didn't have smelly feet
He's seen a giraffe
Loves a laugh
A relaxed girl he now wants to meet
Friendship first. No games, no pressure, no expectations, no drama
I'm calm, optimistic & don't take myself too seriously. A cheeky soul always on the lookout for life's lighter moments & people who enjoy laughter as much as kindness. They're my tribe.
I'm happily pet-friendly, although I've chosen not to own pets because I value a peaceful, clean home & the freedom it brings. If you have a much-loved pet, that's absolutely fine - provided replacing them isn't part of your long-term plan.
Honesty, integrity & trust matters to me & we all make mistakes. However if someone lies about something as fundamental as their age or relationship status then we're not a match.
My interests include music, the arts & gardening. I'm just finishing renovating my home. Work has become busy, but making time for the right person is now a genuine priority. I've banked shameful relationship destroying mistakes of my past & fundamentally changed many ways. Prioritising you and being present being the top 2 changes.
Life is peaceful. My health stalled & is now is outstanding - the Dr's words not mine. One of the most rewarding chapters of my life has been helping offenders rebuild theirs. Few things compare to an ex-offender stopping you simply to say, "Thank you."
I'd love to meet a wonderful woman & build an exceptional future together, through good times & bad.
Expect a gentle, grounded man with strong principles, quiet confidence & a mischievous streak. I stand up to bullies, choose kindness & might surprise you in all of the right ways
Rich in many ways, financially I've enough rather than wealthy.
If kindness, character & a good heart matter more than a flashy lifestyle then please say hi
About his ideal match
Please have done the vast majority of the work on yourself & found peace with your past. We all have a history. I believe a new relationship should be about building a future together, not about healing old wounds. I'm always happy to listen & support. I hope you'll already be in a good place emotionally.
I've done my work & am better for it. I hope you've done yours too - or at least the heavy lifting.
---
You're kind, sane, have good personal hygiene & don't take life too seriously.
Now ask yourself... why did he feel the need to write that? I suspect you've had a few similar experiences !
Please don't be overly materialistic. If status, fame or being close to celebrities are high on your list then we probably have different priorities in life..
Be fun, sociable & curious about the world. I find intellectual curiosity attractive. A love of learning & asking questions goes a long way. And ideally, you're not addicted to anything.
Politics doesn't play a big part in my life & I don't define myself by political labels. That said, our values do matter. If you're a supporter of Nigel Farage or similar characters then i know we won't be a comfortable match.
Perhaps the biggest question we all ask ourselves is: "Can I safely be my authentic self with this person?" I think that's the foundation of every great relationship & it works both ways.
I'm only interested in meeting the real you. No filters, no performance, no pretending. Just an honest, imperfect, wonderful human being... because that's exactly who you'll get in return.
Get it right and a whole new fresh beginning starts & a world of endless opportunities opens up.
I still believe. Do you?
