Please read my profile fully before you message me, it may save us both a lot of wasted time and effort.

After many years in the Military and working around the world as an aviation engineer, I have moved near Southwest London, where I grew up. I am hoping in a few years to move to another part of the UK, close to my adult daughter and friends nearby, though I have always dreamed of my own little B&B in Italy. Wherever I am in the future I hope my home will be with the one I love.

I have been single for many years, but it would be nice to have someone with me to share the experiences and adventures that lie ahead.

I am a good listener, fair and open minded with a good, if sometimes naughty, sense of humour.

Friends and family are very important to me. I will always help and protect them any way I can. I like travelling and the outdoors, I grew up camping and hiking and still enjoy it, though it has been on my own over the last few years.

I am here with the hope to meet the woman I will spend the rest of my life with. I am not here to play games. If you think you are the one for me and I am the one for you, tell me why, it would be a good way to start.

I am not some rich guy from the west with lots of money to spend reading endless messages. I am just a normal person hoping to meet that someone special to spend the rest of their life with. What little money I have I am using as a volunteer to drive humanitarian and medical supplies to Ukraine. So please, only carry on if you are genuinely interested in a relationship with me. I have done this 11 times now, as well as planning and supporting 5 other aid supply trips. I will continue to return to Lviv as long as help is needed. I shall be returning again soon, and perhaps it could be a chance to arrange to meet.

I'd like to meet someone who wants to explore life and the world, and to share its ups and downs, good times and bad, pleasures and pain, and perhaps to create a family.

I have never had an issue with age differences, and have always prefered relationships with someone younger. I do however have a grown up daughter and she has asked me not to start a relationship with anyone born her age or younger. So if you are under 31, you will have to be really good at persuading me you are the one.

Unlike most English men, I am very open about sex, desires and sensuality. I believe it is at the centre of any successful relationship, and the woman I spend the rest of my life with must feel the same way.

I am looking for a sexually open and adventurous woman, who believes in sharing everything with each other, mind and body. She must enjoy being submissive to me as I am Dominant in bed, accepting the consequences of being naughty, as well as the rewards for being good. I hope together we will find the pleasures we both desire.
