In Her Own Words
About her
I'm a European academic, currently a professor at a London University in an art and film post. Writing is mostly what I do, creative or critical, fed by experiences of the arts, reactive, if you like. It is easy to move between quiet contemplation and socialising and active living to keep lithe (though you won't get me in front of a sports screen), taking in London and what it offers, through senses still acclimatizing to this remarkable city.
About her ideal match
Friendships and relationships usually originate in the unexpected encounter, in a mix of curiosity, surprise, laughter and conversation - and sometimes no laughter at all, rather a compelling desire to stay at the table or in the room long after dinner or the party is over.
I'm open to intelligence, sincerity, a range of humor from punning to Cheshire Cat (self-)irony, well-read and arts soaked, health and self-regard (the non-narcissistic kind), easy on the eyes, creativity, curiosity, a lived sense of ethics, good shoes, strong and gentle hands.
Not looking for short term erotic adventure, or fecklessness, prefer the slow burn of that remarkable transition from breathless discussion to with and maybe on to speechless intimacy, that is rare and often, but not always, takes a bit of time.
So if you are still reading, recognise yourself here, and would like to know more about me than the abstraction of words can describe, I'd love to hear from you.
