I'm a genuine guy with a big heart originally from the UK. Looking for that special for a lady to keep me warm in the winter and to be cool with during the summer.

I'm a 6 2", 90kg teddy bear who loves to be around people in a social environment. I love to laugh (particularly at myself!) and think that this is secret to eternal youth. I'm a very well grounded person who has all the normal aspirations and concerns that most other normal people have and I believe this comes from somebody who has had a typical stable family background. I guess what I am trying to say is that if I saw me in a bar, I'd make an effort to go and chat with myself!

I guess I'm a typical English guy, always see the funny side in things and always looking for humor in most things. I know how to treat a lady with respect and good manners. I've been told in my time here, that I’m polite (although not annoyingly so) and courteous but I can so be cheeky and naughty. I love fine dining but equally happy to eat fish and chips on the beach. Going to a nice pub on a Sunday afternoon to for lunch and read the papers is a great way to spend the day.

Not sure if you've noticed, but food is a big part of my life. I love to cook and will have ago at cooking almost any type of cuisine. I also have this habit of talking about food quite a bit so anybody that contacts me should be prepared to exchange ideas and techniques!

I'm also an active person who likes to play soccer, volleyball and enjoys a good game of tennis.

I guess my idea of a ideal first date would be to meet in a bar for a long drink, followed by a nice dinner with some fun and laughter and then if the mood takes us to maybe have a quick dance somewhere before setting off in separate taxis.
