In His Own Words
About him
Fun-loving, easygoing and sociable Yorkshireman looking for the right lass for friendship and maybe more. I love films, travel, cooking, games, sport and good company.
I am an optimist, a positive person and I love my friends and family. I think they would describe me as honest, funny and kind.
About his ideal match
I'm looking for someone with similar interests who likes to chat and have fun. Ideally, someone active and independent with social confidence and a good heart.
What His Friends Say
Stuart said...
Where to start? Ben is quite simply the nicest, most generous guy you could wish to meet.
He's funny, intelligent, very easy to talk to and above all, genuine and trustworthy.
I would also describe Ben as someone who likes to live life to the full and isn't afraid of a bit of adventure. By which I don't mean he's a party animal or anything, just that he loves travel, meeting new people, trying new things. But I feel he's also now at a stage where he's keen to put down roots and find the right partner to enjoy some new adventures with.
Great cook - check. Great taste in music - check. Style of some of his shirts - check.
Ben is also a massive film lover. If I had to liken Ben to one film star it would be John Cusack.
Anyway, he's the best. You can thank me later.

Ben is really sociable, a great listener and loads of fun. He is often the one to instigate a reunion with friends and always has great ideas for a get together, thinking beyond just meeting up in a pub! Ben is enthusiastic about life, he values friendship and cares for those he is close to. Ben's easy to talk to and an all round top guy with fab sense of humour. When Ben's around people are always smiling!

So how would I describe Ben? Well to give you a bit of background, I met Ben through work and for much of the time he was the only guy in our team and we were all pretty vocal ladies! Ben never let that phase or intimidate him, it never felt like he was on the periphery, he was an integral cog in the wheel. Great fun, fantastic sense of humour, hard working, loyal and creative. Brilliant at choosing cheeses for 'Fromage Friday too'!
Alongside his day job Ben is a wonderfully sensitive film maker, something I hope one day he'll be widely recognised for. Because of his extensive film knowledge he's a great cinema companion and you don't have to opt for the action adventures only, he's an 'all genre' kinda guy.
If you like a good boogie, Ben will give you a run for your money. One Christmas we went to a Brutus Gold's 'Love Train' party and Ben turned up as 'Sven from Sweden' complete with mullet and moustache. His platforms were worn down to the soles by the end of the night and boy did we laugh. I hear Ben has a mean poker face too and although his IT savvy - he ain't no computer geek! (unless you are talking IT Crowd geek!)
So I guess what I am saying is that really Ben is a bit of a contradiction - a kind, sensitive, creative soul with a wild streak (no one puts Ben in a corner!). I believe Ben wouldn't just be a boyfriend but your best friend, if you were lucky enough.
I'm sure as soon as I hit 'save and continue' I'll think of many more words of wisdom to describe Ben but hopefully this give you a taster that might encourage some lovely lady to dip their toe in the water (so to speak).
Good luck mate.
