Answerphone message last week:
'I saw your gorgeous self on AW, please get back, yeah? I'd love to meet you today, you're gorgeous, oh god, yeah, come back darling.'
I did speak to him, and he didn't sound anywhere near as bad as he managed to make himself sound in the message. Told him to call me within 10 mins if he wanted a same day appointment, heard no more from him.
Until he sent a lovely text while I was away over the weekend:
Hi sorry got nervous the other day I am in *town* all day and would still like a meet if poss. *Name* xx you are welcome to my full details just a genuine middle aged lonely guy
And 10 mins later:
Hi darlin can you let me know please x
And today, a direct email fom someone else:
Hello, Happy new year I really hope i can make you my woman but it really depends on you, i want to make you happy no matter what. I am very relationship oriented and I believe life is too short to waste or play games. When I am in a relationship I am committed, honest, and loyal. I think that falling in love is always a good thing but it requires lot of work from both sides. There is always something to learn from being with someone, and happy times and memories should be cherished. Friendship comes first for me. I feel like you should treat somebody with respect and like they are a person not a piece of meat or whatever. I am the type of person who wants somebody to feel wanted not just as a trophy. I am a very affectionate person and I love to cuddle, I like to show somebody how I feel not just telling them. I love to be close to somebody whether it is in the bed on the couch or wherever. I guess my dreams would is to be happy and have a family that is my goals in life.
I was married for 30yrs but Death took her away from me, my late wife was an American and we both lived happily. I was given one of the best education I attended a high school owned by British priest in Stockholm, Sweden and later moved to the KTH Royal Institute of Technology University Stockholm ,Sweden where I had my bachelors degree in Civil Engineering, what kind of relationship do you really wish to have?

Feel free to ask anything you want to know about me. I am a simple and very open minded man. Don't be scared that i will get upset if you ask any question. I'm not a materialistic individual or vain. I respect this world as I know it. I understand that one?s possessions do not determine the individual. So I don't seek someone because they have neither do I avoid someone because they don't have. I'm just seeking someone who believes in unity, co-operation, truth, love, dedication, partnership, trust. Someone who knows love and is able to recognize it when it?s present. It is great to be alive, so many things life offers to experience and be a part of. I want to find a simple woman that can smile about life. I want to find someone to build an everlasting friendship with, one we'll both value until our end. So if you think smiling and living life too. I am very outgoing and spontaneous like to have fun and travel a lot. I like to cook but also like fine dining. The rest you will have to ask maybe its you!
