Putting myself out there with a hope to meet someone lovely - I'm not great at the dating apps, so let's see if this works instead!

Seeking something where we can regularly meet up, not a protracted online penfriend thing.

I'm a gentle and friendly guy, mildly nerdy at times, pretty smart, and a an affectionate romantic at heart. I'm told I'm good looking, I'm happy to swap pics.

Never married, no kids, live by myself. Have a career in London (insurance industry), live out in Sussex and commute back and forth. I like both city and countryside.

I'd like to get out and travel more - both in UK and overseas, though I'll confess I've not done too much so far - someone who wants to enjoy trips together and encourage me would be nice!

I love hiking, and tend to go a couple of times a month. I'm at my happiest following a path under a big open sky. Also like camping and enjoy a good music festival - nothing too boisterous but I love a summer weekend listening to music and relaxing outdoors.

Hoping to find someone affectionate and fun, playful and kind. Would like to try and find a long term relationship, I hear they are popular?

Some general facts about me:

- Favourite movies: Grosse Point Blank, Back to the Future, Serendipity.

- Favourite songs: Sweet Disposition by Temper Trap, Mr Jones by Counting Crow, Tech Noir by Gunship.

- Favourite food: Cheese sandwiches. Love sharp cheddar and big squishly bread slices. Oh, and Tunnocks Caramel bars.

- Hobbies: painting warhammer models, hiking, willow weaving, reading.

- Favourite thing to do: I'm trying to avoid NSFW topics but I'll let you guess ;)

- Drink of choice: wine, though I'm developing a taste for g&t.

Goals for 2026: lose a couple of kilos, hike at least two of the three peaks (have done one!), get back into park runs and archery, hit a 325 day streak on Duolingo (at 300+!) meet someone and fall head over heels for her, visit a bunch of counties in UK I've never been to, get back into writing.

Hopefully some of this post appeals - if so, feel free to say hi!
