I'm a friendly male who is very intelligent and caring. I'm down-to-earth and I can be very playful and affectionate.

I'm mostly hoping to get to know a female with a wide range of interests, particularly in respect to the arts and culture; I enjoy things that are mainstream and alternative, classic and more contemporary. I'd especially love to meet someone with a similar interest in music and films, who also enjoys good food and wine, intelligent and fun conversation, the oudoors and walking.

I've a 2:1 psychology degree and I've done a transpersonal psychology post-grad. I've been offered a Ph.D to do with spirituality in relation to health which I intend doing.

Learning, being open and adventurous. Not taking myself seriously in seeing a wider context.

Who knows, but I've often been told I'm young-looking for my age. Like to think I'm modern and up-to-date, but I also like things with a timeless soulful quality.

A favourite CD, a good film, an engrossing read, wine, decent food, fresh air and exercise.

People I care about and what's going on in the world.

Enjoying wine, music, a good film. Would like someone to share such occasions with.

Prefer to discuss private things in knowing the other person.

You're intelligent, open and friendly.
