Do you like receiving flowers?
I'm warm hearted and generous with a positive outlook on life. Although I'm not a real "foodie", I enjoy good food and wine but I am definitely not into pubs, loud music and discos. I used to do quite a lot of ballroom and latin american dancing which was great fun. I am also keen on athletics but just go for the occasional run these days (about once a week) ....
I am a bit of a traditionalist, but a romantic too ( - just love giving flowers), who is looking to meet someone special of about my own age or younger. I hope you will be intelligent, articulate, sincere, well spoken and enjoy dressing well. I am warm hearted and have a good sense of humour and I hope you will also share these qualities....
I am actually a Surrey boy, but now living near Holt (North Norfolk). I commute into London 4 days a week so please don't be put off by my "rural" location - it is actually lovely here.

More Detail
I work for a financial services company leading a business analysis team, communicating the needs of the business to the IT function.
Oxbridge
I believe on God. I'm not a regular church goer. I have good morals, but try not to be judgemental.
Non PC of course!
Interests
Foreign languages were never really my strong point. I was always more interested in numbers!
Musical Instruments played
Used to play the piano and oboe a bit at school. I can sing in tune!
Running, Swimming, Golf, swimming, running, tennis. I like running and have run half-marathons. I'll play tennis on holiday and I used to play squash. I have also done a bit of sailing, waterskiing and snow skiing.
Countryside, Gardening, Walking, Movies, bridge, dancing (ballroom), gardening, friends, Internet, TV. I usually spend most of my spare time doing things in my house or garden. When relaxing, I may well watch TV. I used to be a big fan of Blackadder when that was on - I enjoy that type of ridiculous humour.
Culture
Evening Standard, Financial Times, Telegraph. I have always found the FT a good read - sad but true!
Twelve Red Herrings - Jeffrey Archer, Testament - John Grisham. I like books that I cannot put down - usually contemporary ones that make you want to turn the next page.
Casablanca, Cinema Paradiso, Citizen Kane, From Russia with Love, Gone with the Wind, Star Wars, Terminator. I love Alfred Hitchcock films and the old Humphrey Bogart films.
Classical, Contemporary Classical, Country, Opera, Pop, 80s music, 90s music, I'll listen to what's on and often switch between classicFM, Absolute radio and Radio4. I like danceband music too.
Pleasures
Cinema, Meal. I like a good meal with a bit of style. I like seeing films that are of interest to me - but I wouldn't go to just anything - I'm a bit more selective !
Used to have a few goldfish, but love dogs, cats and horses.
Fish and Chips, Lobster Thermidor, Roast Beef and Yorkshire pudding, Smoked Salmon, Steak and chips, Veal Escalope. I love my meat !
Golf in Scotland - it would be nice to have a bit more time to play golf sometimes - but an adventure holiday would be good. I like holidays with a bit of activity - I would probably get bored on a beach holiday for longer than a week.

Me again - but differently, Luke Skywalker, a golden eagle. I'd have been happy enough 100 years ago - chivalry isn't dead.
