Bemyfriendsoon, 82

Platonic or slightly more, affectionate - alone is not for me I'm a mature guy retired aged 68, divorced, totally solvent with own home, GSOH, reasonably educated, quite fit, healthy and non-smoker, average looks, very clean, fresh, tactile, caring, love female company, very loyal, very good sense of humour and very compassionate about others, and wide variety of interests. Although I've retired from very demanding management positions I'm very easy going, unpretentious, and practical, competent DIY, gardening etc I'm seeking a caring, chatty lady, any age, any where, for longterm friendship/companionship and life partnership, free of s----l pressures where romance, affection, kisses, hugs, holding hands and cuddles, mutual admiration and respect are much more valued and important. I havent always been celibate having been married and brought up a son and daughter, but a prostrate operation (not cancer thank goodness!) caused enforced partial impotence and I have come to realise that for me there are other much more important factors in a meaningful, longterm friendship/relationship.
I love the outdoors, nature, animals; really enjoy walking in the countryside and by the shore; swim regularly several times each week for fitness; love travel both home and abroad; sightseeing interesting historical or scenic places and also enjoy winter hols in the warm; I'm interested in the arts, visiting galleries, especially The Impressionist; theatre, cinema,; reading biographies; a wide variety of music; dining out, especially with friends and great conversation; take an interest in current events and politics; documentaries etc. I would certainly be willing to relocate for that special person. Please get in touch as 'alone is not for me'
