My self-summary
My name is Oliver, I'm 26 and I live in Cardiff Bay. I'm originally from Ferryside in west wales, which is a nice seaside village near Carmarthen. Most people are surprised when I say I'm from west wales as I really don't have an accent.

If I had to describe myself, I would describe myself as friendly, honest, funny, loyal and caring. I am a laid back person and I always manage to get on well with most people. I'm reasonably intelligent and would say I'm quite knowledgable on a variety of topics, so I always have plenty to say! I have a really good sense of humour and would say it's quite a big part of my personality. I'm also a little bit of a wind up merchant, but I always laugh at myself too and I generally try to see the funny side in most situations. I have a great circle of close friends who I enjoy meeting up with every so often for evenings out, usually we would be dining out, going to concerts/live music events or just for going for some drinks in town.

Music is the biggest part of my life as I work as a freelance musician. I really love the work that I do and it has given me the opportunity to perform all over the UK and abroad. I've performed on the radio, tv and I've also played on some soundtracks for various tv programmes. I do some private teaching (music) and sometimes do some adjudicating which I really enjoy. Being freelance I quite often have a lot of free time, so I also work part time which keeps me busy and provides me with a safety net.

As for my interests, I'm interested in history and I enjoy watching documentaries and sometimes I enjoy visiting museums and other places of interest. I like real ales and sometimes I enjoy brewing my own beer, although I haven't done it for a few years. I also really like single malt whiskies, I have some favourites and I'm know a bit about the various regions where they are distilled in Scotland, my favourite region being Speyside. I enjoy attending concerts as well as performing in them, it can be really nice to listen rather than perform sometimes. I like travelling and I've visited some really interesting places, my favourite being Iceland. I enjoy going out for long walks sometimes, especially costal areas. Occasionally I enjoy a night out with friends, but I don't do it so much anymore now I'm no longer a student. I do still enjoy meeting up with my friends though. I really dislike football, so girls I will never subject you to that on the tv! I'll watch other sports sometimes, but I'm not overly interested.

As for what I'm looking for, I have no specific type. But what I am looking for is someone really nice who is interested in me. I want to chat a bit, meet up/spend time together and take things slowly, I want us to really get to know each other and see where things go.

That's about all I can think of, it's a bit of an essay I know, but I've tried to describe myself as accurately and as honestly as I can. Hopefully if you made it this far, you weren't totally bored!

So if you are interested in me then feel free to get in touch, I would love to hear from you.
What I’m doing with my life
Performing, private teaching and adjudicating. Building up my musical contacts and trying to find more performing and teaching opportunities.
I’m really good at
Music is my biggest talent. I'm also quite knowledgable about certain historical things and trivia/useless info! I often read up on things I'm interested in, Wikipedia is so good! I'm quite good at cooking lasagne if I do say so myself! I'm good at getting on with all types of people. I'm good at making people laugh and I'm always good company.
The first things people usually notice about me
I would say the first thing people would notice is my smile and dimples. Apparently I have quite a kind looking face, so I guess that too. Women always seem to notice that I have long eye lashes.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
My favourite authors are: Conn Iggulden, Bernard Cornwell and Clive Cussler. I also enjoy reading historical books and autobiography's. I recently enjoyed Adam Zamoyski's 1812, which was very interesting. Currently I'm reading Under the Wire by William Ash. I think without doubt the best book I've ever read is Das Boot by Lothar-Gunther Buchheim. The film/mini series is very good, but the book is incredible.

Films are all fairly typical man films for me. I especially like Bond, Die Hard (1,2,3 the new one was awful and I refuse to watch the next one!), Lethal Weapon 1,2,3,4, Braveheart, The Bounty, The Hunt for Red October, Valkyrie. There are many others I'm sure that I can't think of, but you get the picture! I enjoy old films, I really don't like a lot of the new fake computer graphics. I quite like watching some of the films I watched as a child, The Dark Crystal, Never Ending Story, The Goonies etc. My generation was so lucky, kids don't get films like that anymore!

Music is all mainly classical for me. My favourite composers being, Shostakovich, Vaughan Williams, Mahler, R Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Rachmaninov and John Adams. I like all sorts of other things too, I think Zappa was an absolute genius and I used to enjoy listening to live funk when I lived in Manchester. Generally I like listening to live music and am always happy to listen to something new. Recently discovered a folk band who I think are fantastic called Home Service, so very into them atm too!

TV programmes, I like Frost, South Park, Little Britain, Time Team, Dads Army, Faulty Towers, Our War. I like watching various documentaries and enjoy David Attenborough series like The Blue Planet and Planet Earth. I really enjoy some of the HBO mini series, Band of Brothers, The Pacific and Rome. In the summer I enjoy the BBC proms, I don't think the BBC broadcast enough of them on tv, which I think is a disgrace.

Food, well I love trying new things. But I especially like Curry and Italian. I'm also discovering that I have a thing for Morrocan food and I also like Mexican, Chinese and a decent roast of course!
The six things I could never do without
Music

Family

Friends

Wikipedia

My phone (sad I know, but I actually couldn't!)

Sleep, I'm quite a heavy sleeper
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Music and various musical things. I'm always thinking about a piece of music in my head.

Things I've seen that interest me, I then end up googling them and going on Wikipedia.

I daydream quite a bit, especially when I'm bored.
On a typical Friday night I am
I'll either be at a gig (watching or performing), working behind the bar, out with friends, or I'll be at home having a quiet night in watching a movie.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I'm not admitting anything private on a public website. Although one thing I will admit is that I'm a big guy and you would need to not have a problem with that.
I’m looking for
  • Girls who like guys
  • Ages 18–40
  • Near me
  • Who are single
  • For long-term dating, short-term dating
You should message me if
You are actually interested in me and would like to chat, possibly meet up too if we get on.

I'm really very friendly and nice so don't be nervous of getting in touch, I don't send nasty messages back and I'm genuine. I'm not a weirdo and I'm not just after sex. But I'm not interested in just being a pen pal either.
