In His Own Words
About him
I pride myself on being a thoughtful and respectful person, who appreciates the joy that can be had with both friends and family. Equally, there is an undeniable satisfaction that comes from sharing your story with a special someone and I’m always open to taking that first step to get to know someone.
My general preference is to be busy, …this extends to donning my own high vis jacket to help steward big events at Twickenham! Music, cinema, reading, current affairs, gardening, are also amongst the mix of interests that occupy my time. This is in addition to some family caring responsibilities and finding the time to stay close to family and people that matter to me.
I like to laugh and my quirky insights often help with that, but making others smile and enjoying the moment has always been important to me and despite picking up a few silly ‘old man’ grumbles as the clock strikes 50, I’m determined to make the years ahead some of the finest yet!
About his ideal match
Looking for a warm family orientated person, who can laugh at themselves and appreciate a quirky mind. I believe having a number of shared interests is healthy and would especially enjoy meeting someone with an interest in music, cinema and the fascinating history of the buildings and landscapes around us. Equally, I’m also more than open to exploring passions that drive other people.
What His Friends Say
Helen said...
My friend Richard is a lovely guy. Any lady would be lucky to have him in her life.
Richard is a sociable person who enjoys going out and doing different activities. He is intelligent and interested in current affairs. He is very chatty, honest and loyal to friends and family.
He has a quirky and sometimes self deprecating sense of humour.
Rob said...
Richard is one of life's great characters. He describes himself as quirky, which is true, and perhaps this has held him back a little bit as it might not open him up to quite so many people. However, the right person will not only enjoy his quirks, wit and intelligence, but will quickly see what all the rest of us have done for years, Richard is a super genuine and warm chap and who would certainly do right, by the right person.
