In His Own Words
About Him
I promise - not in the damn Free State by choice. A bit of a shock indeed.
A typical Aquarian - an ordinary person with diverse characteristics - hopefully most on the right side of your preferences.
Private
Compassionate
Gentle
Devoted
Straightforward
Cautious
Inquisitive
Respectful
Committed
Impulsive
Honest
Trustworthy
Authentic
Mischievous
Sense of humour (not always understood)
Adventurous
.......................and sane (I think)
I must admit that I am a bit of a shy person, but when I become comfortable with someone, she will get to know me as caring and dedicated. Prepare to be spoilt and appreciated. I am somewhat daring and willing to take a few chances in life. I love spur-of-the-moment decisions and although cautious, I can be impulsive and will surprise with some adventurous ideas.
I am a very compassionate person and somewhat protective over those I care about.
I might live in a grand suburb but my home is a small cottage. I do not have any wealth to offer and I am not interested in any material gain you may be - a relationship is not about possessions, only a chosen lifestyle of simplicity and essential but important values. If not good enough - well then......................
Only a bad product needs promotion, so I will not say much here....you decide as we go along.

About His Ideal Match
The first put-off is a perfect profile. A self-assessment of 'Very Attractive' could be an inflated ego. Then again, some can upgrade from 'average' to 'attractive'.
Some people may have a perfect self-perception but its the defects that are of more interest than the wonderful person you might describe yourself to be. A match is based on this perception and it could be way off target - either way.
Simply, if you can relate to some of the comments about myself or just tolerate them, we probably have quite a bit in common and a place to start. The rest comes from acceptance and mutual respect of manner and opinion. It is this gap which provides the opportunity to display commitment and contribution to growth in a relationship. The remainder is 'free space' - an allowance of being oneself.
Absolute honesty and authenticity is likely to be the most attractive.
A sense of humanity, compassion towards others and totally unselfish.
Please do not expect me to read between the lines (i.o.w. open communication is important - it saves a lot of time - even a bit forward is ok..in fact it helps a helleva lot)
Red hair, freckles and/or specs are extra turn-ons.
Easy with the make-up - moderate and natural is better.
No Obsessive Compulsive (OCD) tendencies please.
Another thing...If you are looking for someone with a 'wealthy' or 'fat-cat' income, you probably have your eye on the wallet rather than the person. Mine will not be the reason for your affection!!!
If your Home Language = 'Ask me later", I assume it is Afrikaans. Why so shy about it ? Dit is mos n trotse Boere Volk!!
Your Home Town or choice of Username is usually a give-away!! Boksburg is a good clue! I'm fully bilingual - as long as you prefer Pink Floyd to Steve Hofmeyr and the like.
A meaningful and fulfilling relationship with affection, trust and commitment.
Not a social trophy but a personal treasure!
And...a lot more sexier than Mrs Doubtfire!
