Im single and comfortable with it. I'm not in a rush to jump into things, I'm prepared to take as long as necessary to try and find the right person. I'm not looking for one night stands or quick flings, and would much prefer to build something long lasting. I work at a very unsociable job which, for all its faults (and my grumbles), I do like, but it also means it can be very difficult to meet people (and have a normal life), so I thought I would give this a try. I would describe myself as honest and tactful, fairly quiet (but I do liven up a bit when I get to know people), generous and confident with a good sense of humour. I don't drink much, but I still like to go to pubs, restaurants, and cinema - all the usual stuff I suppose. I read a lot, will give most books a go, but I do like Terry Pratchett's Discworld books(make of that what you will). I enjoy listening to music, anything from Paul Weller to Wagner depending on how I feel, and I have a fascination for obscure 40s/50s/60s British cinema (it's far better than the rubbish British cinema churns out now) and American b movies from the same period. I stopped smoking a while back and put a bit of weight on (I keep nibbling things), so I bought a bike and started cycling for the first time in many years, and I must admit that I've really started to like it. I live in a fairly rural area and there's lots of walks(and pubs) around the area which are quite good, and I try and get out as often as I can.
