In His Own Words
About him
I’m full of boundless energy, enjoy living and have a great relationship with my grown-up daughter. A long term relationship and now COVID lockdown have ended, so I‘ve re-joined the dating world. My philosophy is to enjoy today and do what I can to make tomorrow even better. The main photo was taken last week, and remainder in 2020/22.
I have been fortunate to travel the world and am looking for someone who might have a similarly outward looking attitude to living. My life was changed (broken neck) 16 years ago when body surfing. A long rehab and, although I can now walk short distances, I use an electric wheelchair. I live independently alone. It's been a challenge, but I've continued to travel the world, love life and enjoy the good things it offers. I enjoy the company of women, and would like to meet someone who can look beyond the wheelchair and see the person I really am. I drive, travel by train regularly on day trips to London (from Manchester) for a meal and either theatre, exhibition or just being a tourist! I volunteer in my local Library and take a keen interest in Community activities. Before my accident I was a keen sportsman, and I now regularly go to the gym for the feel good "buzz" of physical exercise. I look forward to meeting someone and starting another chapter of my most enjoyable life.
I look forward to hearing from you - Richard
About his ideal match
I'm looking for “you!” if “you” are – someone who is open to new experiences and loves the excitement of exploring the common interests, attraction and chemistry that come with the development of a new relationship. You should appreciate things for what they are, not what they might outwardly appear to be. If this is "you", please contact me - Richard, ps if you can help me with the cryptic crossword, we're half way there!!
