In His Own Words
About Him
As my nom-de-plume suggests, Captain Slow, (the name given to me by my friend which was, taken from presenter James May of BBC's Top Gear fame) I am a bit quirky and have my own ideas I generally do not follow the herd and prefer to do thigs at my own pace. I am respected by my friends and peers for my general and certain specific knowledge. I enjoy motorcycle racing and motor sports. I prefer to tackle my own jobs/projects, i.e. I am independent and resourceful. I am known to be a very good listener and tend to draw people out. I don't talk as easily about my self and need a prod sometimes. I do need my own time and space. I do well at small dinner parties but I battle with large crowds, loud music and background noise.
I am not a big believer in Zodaic signs but I received this description on the e mail the other day that seemed to ring true and is pertinent:
Libra: The harmonizer, nice to everone they meet. Can't make up their mind. Creative, social, peaceful, generous. Very loving. Flirtatious. Gives in too easly.
, gulliable, loyal.
About His Ideal Match
The lady I am looking for needs to have a good sense of humour and is intelligent, someone who can hold their own in a conversation with good general knowledge. I am looking for someone who is happy within her skin and looks after herself well and does not overdo anything, e.g. makeup. She needs to have other interests or hobbies - this goes a long way to keeping us grounded and sane. I would appreciate someone who is spirited and confident, yet not overbearing nor dominant - I tend to clash with dominant people and women in particular. Because I am the quieter sort of guy, party animals usually find me boring - I don't have the required energy levels. Someone who enjoys small dinner parties, going for coffee (or tea) and enjoys savouring life would suite me well.
I am very aware that children from previous relationships may be involved and they need to take priority in your life. Your loyalty towards your children is very important to me as parenting is a very serious matter. Children need to be as well adjusted as can be, happy and disciplined so they can grow to their full potential. I will respect the children's other parent as they are an important part of their lives.
