My name's Jon, and at the moment I spend my days working and looking forward to my days off! I generally spend these with friends, or seeing my family.

I'm happy being single but I'm ready to make new friends and am also open to a relationship and meeting someone really special.

My idea of the perfect date:

We’d meet about an hour before sunset at a beach-front restaurant, get a table (pre-booked), and eat watching the sunset. We would have a good discussion (of course), and a single rose as a pre-gift when we meet (I’m an old fashioned romantic).

In my opinion this is what a first date should be - full of promise and excitement

I'm completely new to online dating. I'm on here because there's no one new in my life at the moment and I'd like to meet some new people, so feel free to message me and I'll get back to you when I can!

Conversation and making people laugh, reading and writing, painting

Dante - The Inferno
About a Boy
Friends
Scouting for Girls
Favorite food? I'm just a total omnivore (comes from having fussy siblings and a no-leaving-the-table-until-the-foods-gone rule)

iPod (filled with an utterly eclectic mix - from the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack, to Nickelback)
My bicycle (Ivanhoe - every form of personal transport deserves a name!)
My leather jacket ( just because)
Pizza (probably the best food ever - it's available both student-style cheap AND expensive in posh food-eries)
A really good thick book I'm halfway through (at any one point I'm invariably in the middle of reading a book over the period of months and months)
Pen and paper (for poetry, scribblings, sketching and making lists)

Anything and everything! Mostly my shifts at work and how badly they're impacting my social life!

It depends, generally socialising or spending quality time with my family.

That this whole meeting people online thing is TERRIFYING
