Joined 28/06/08. Hi I’m Tim, work in education, 45 yrs old. Active, outdoorsy & fit. Shortish & slim. Varied, adventurous life, couple of career changes so far, tended to follow my interests - climbing was one [ex-instructor] been a bit bohemian. Solvent, but don't own a house at mo.(
Life has had its up and downs + I’ve also had gypsy feet.) I’m a nice guy – so my women friends tell me. I’m a man-not-a-boy, an adult-not-a-teen. I won't ask you to web-cam or become a bunny-boiler. Not sure I'd recognise IM if I saw it. (Always respected women and respect boundaries).
I respect confidences too, (should anyone here know me) & expect the same in return. Am from Devon, been in Sheffield since 2001. I'm new to this, so read the below and if interested send me a mail.
If I've looked at your profile: a) We're all allowed to dream a little. b) Beauty should be admired. c) How else do we find out about each other and d) I'm a nosy so-and-so ain't I. LOL. (
More than once? Memory ain't what it used to be!)
If I added you to favorites then something about you caught my eye! If you think you should be in the list mail and tell me why. If nothing else we may get a friendship out of it.
I'm single, not here cheating . Last break-up left me to get back on my feet ~ and feeling lonely, esp at weekends & in the bedroom; I really miss cuddles and kissing & have always been tactile & affectionate. To be straight with you my life is quite busy. I am looking for something that
could be physical from early on. I have a life and guess you will too, I’m not one for being joined at the hip but prefer quality time. I'm open to persuasion or offers...
still hope to find a soul mate. (
I'm OK about getting to know people and making friends too. ) We both know relationships of all kinds need building, they don’t just happen. If you have pets, I like animals.
I work hard and am often busy in the week, but can play hard weekends. Prefer to drink only little -
not too much anyway, don't like 'getting out of it'- nowadays, but don’t mind if you like a drink. . I'm a good dancer (enthusiastic anyway). Love all music esp R&B, rock, reggae, soul, alt-&-indie etc, (
still have some leather jackets - wish I still had long hair, sigh; good times. Seen a lot of dawns when younger.) Picky TV watcher. Smoke a bit, but can go without, trying to give up. Enjoy food, but not a big eater. I don't gamble.
I prefer evenings in to out; only an occasional pub/clubber nowadays, have to be weekends. Not a wine-&-diner, prefer a more informal place; but like Oriental, Indian & Mediterranean food. I'm not vegetarian but happy to eat veggie meals. Like reading, keeping in touch with friends (
I do a lot of emailing etc. ), writing stuff (
and still having to do training 4 work), do yoga class x2 a week. Love countryside and coasts. Is it me or are days too short?
I can be quiet at first, am a good listener, can talk about quite a few things (art, culture, personal growth etc. I hope I have some depth) but also down to earth and enjoy a good laugh, just don't ask me to tell jokes. Pretty open minded. I’m also quite independent - low maintenance. Know how to vacuum, iron and wash-up. Hoping to meet some interesting women at least on here. I like women of all backgrounds, sizes, ages & colours, etc. I don't like prejudice & have had non-Caucasian girlfriends in past. Love experiences & adventures - we’re only here once, so live it. Don’t have a car at present, may get another soon, but like walking 4 the exercise. Good values, but not religious. Believe we're here to help each other get through this thing called life.
I prefer the direct approach. Be upfront & straight with me & I'll be straight with you. I don't like game players or manipulators (I wasn't born yesterday). Sooo... go on tempt me… swap some mails at least,
if it doesn't feel right we'll both admit it, that's OK. I'm cool about getting to know people and just making friends too. Making me laugh goes a long way.
PS: Prefer Sheffield only. (I'm in the S7/S8/S11 area.) A face pic helps...
I have Yahoo messenger, but not good at it.
Prefer email, txt or giving U a mobile no.U can ask questions, as you may have noticed I can string a few words together.
Don't worry if you’re not a writer; you can probably talk better than I can write. I'll reply unless I think you’re a scammer.
PPS: Don't like those: that want to be rescued, supported financially, a sugar-daddy, are clingy or into drugs etc. (We make our own destiny.) Don't mind if you have [grown -up] kids, but I've preferred to be childfree. In return I just ask that you take me as I am.
If you've read this far then U might as well mail me, unless you've got Brad Pitt lined up of course...
Somewhere you feel comfortable and safe. Prob worth setting a time limit to make the 'how do we draw this to a close?' part easier. I like to talk & listen. Park, coffee (Waterstones cafe's nice), walk in the Peak, Stroll round winter gardens, a meal, gallery, cinema, quiet pub - or your suggestion... surprise me. Seen life, can mix OK. See above.
