Sonnesun, 52

I'm not really sure what to say without sounding too self-pedantic (big brainy word).

OK. I live on my own in a nice quiet part of Kettering, and am seeking a lady who is at least easy going and open minded as me for hopefully a longterm relationship.

I was born with Cleft Lip & Palate. Lip is repaired, the CP is largely fixed. I'm also speech impaired which isn't as extreme as it once was, and I'm relatively understandable now, although still a bit nasally.

I enjoy playing acoustic guitar, I'm quite good at it when I'm not terrible. I even sing despite my speech (been more fun & effective than speech therapy). My musical tastes are varied, from the 1950's onwards.

My poor mirror tells me that I'm a brown haired slim male. Am I easy-going? Well I don't know. Nobody told me one way or another. Maybe we all are with the right person, and not so much with certain others (all depends).

Although I'm on benefits, I'm not a sponging freeloader with any partner. I'm good at saving money that I live within my means and still not go without, and I still generously share what I do have.

I don't have a car (noooooooooo) but I'm planning on a motorbike in the new year. Anyway on a more positive note, I'm ummm, I'm just me (is that it?). OK if I'm not doing one thing, I'm usually doing something else, I'm not a moper. I'm usually cheerful, hopefully fairly articulate and enjoy a good banter and debate. I enjoy dining out. I also love showing affection with the right lady.

I don't smoke, I like a beer but pretty moderate. I prefer a mug of tea tbh. I like going to a nice pub occasionally. I also prefer cosy nights in. I can cook although my entire menu isn't huge. I love indian, chinese, italian and mexican food...and fish and chips.

All in all, I'd love to meet that special someone who's open-minded enough to share my life with. That's why we're all here, isn't it?
