I would describe myself as:
Hard working but easy going with a sense of humour especially in my social/personal life. I will try most things friends suggest since that way I experience more of life. I love playing classical piano, reading, walking, cinema, restaurants, going to see a good play, keeping fit and travelling (41 countries so far and still so many places yet to visit!), and meeting up with friends. I also like to relax at home and am a contented person. Years ago I lived and worked in the US and UK for global companies and enjoyed my work. I don't mind compromising, can take constructive criticism well, don't nag and can give and take, although I definitely feel more at ease giving than receiving. Am trusting and loyal but do not suffer fools gladly. I do not hold grudges and even though some confrontation may be required I get over it asap. Most people tell me I am good company and I cheer them up as I am a good listener. Have a number of flaws but you will have to suss them out for yourself if I am lucky enough for a man to risk meeting me ...lol.

My ideal partner would be:
I do not have an 'ideal' partner. Based on character I would prefer someone who has a good sense of humour, is considerate, loyal and kind and one I feel comfortable with. While I would like him to socialise with me, I would also hope he would enjoy relaxing at home as well. We don't have to be glued to each other and I would like him to have some interests of his own since I enjoy a little space myself and vice versa. Unless something is a very serious issue and we are at opposite poles, I do not like a man to argue with or nag me over petty things and I promise the same. Physically wise, I would prefer someone a little taller than me, in decent shape and fairly active - that does not mean he has to run a marathon! Please, please do not contact me without a photo since I have provided mine.

My ideal date would be:
Initially meeting for a relaxing cup of coffee or whatever and if there is chemistry between us, then, who knows? A follow up date? Even if there isn't, I will still enjoy myself.
