Hi I am a genuine shy guy from North East England. I am always honest, very caring and an old Romantic at heart.I also wear contact lenses not because i am vain but because of eye condition which affects the cornea.I am a big Sunderland football club fan for my sins, other interests include going to car boot sales and antique fairs.I also like walking quizzes and reading Autobiographies. Not uploaded any picture without glasses hence the terrible one on here
. So what I am looking for then. Well looking to meet my soul mate.MY Motto is Live for today as tomorrow may never come. Please leave me a message if you want to know more. I am polite and will always answer your message honestly. Have had a couple health scares over last couple years, hence been in a bit of a rut or in my shell for a bit, Now i am
fighting fit and raring to start my life again. They do say life begins at 40.Oh and I can also go on a bit if you had not already guessed. Well if you want to know the rest of my life history then you will have to ask.bye for now.
