Bernard, 60 - Cape Town

Life should be a journey filled with laughter and good times. Looking for someone to share the ride. People who know me would tell you that I am a loyal friend and have my priorities in order. That means that I put others' interests above my own. My ideal relationship would include a partner who also puts others above herself. Although I work hard and make a good living, I believe I work to live and not live to work. Since I moved to South Africa a few years ago, my passion has been boating and I would love to share that in a relationship. I also have a love of animals.

A woman (50 - 85)

I am fun to be around, I am a very upbeat and happy person, I am a casual person with a good sense of humor and I enjoy and appreciate the things a woman can do to show a man she cares. The tip of a hat, a door opened, a hand held and much more. All things that tell a man he is "special and loved". In turn, I am so ready to do the things that will tell her you are "so very special and much loved". "Love is friendship set on fire" and that nailed it down for me - "best" friendship is the foundation of a lasting, dedicated relationship. I am successful and self sufficient and would like to meet a woman to share my life and I hers - family, friends, giving and taking, open and honest communication, sharing and caring, the lows and highs and fun and play
