Well, as this is the first time I have posted to a newsgroup, where do I
start?

Before you read the following, don't think that I sit here wallowing in self
pity.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  I like my life and I like
myself.  I just think that I have a lot more to offer and that life could be
better if I had someone to share it with.

I'm 32, as you've already worked out.  I work with computers, own my own
house and spend most of my free time with music.  I play guitar mainly, but
I can play drums and bass a bit too...  I'm not much of a singer though, but
I can do passable harmonies.  I am 6'6 with blue eyes.

I play in a sort of hobby band, mostly for school fetes and for friend's
celebrations.  We're not good enough to charge a decent sum of cash yet!!

My house is the sort of place that my married friends love to visit, as it
is full of guitars, keyboards, stereos and computers.  But I am painfully
aware that it lacks a woman's touch.

I am very self reliant, my friends see this as a strength, but I am not so
sure....  I have been single, more or less since I left college and I have
grown used to fending for myself.  I have had opportunities with women, but
I am hopeless at reading the signs until it's too late.  My ability in this
area has not improved with age.  I have one brother, one sister and parents
who divorced when I was 20.  We all get along very well, but we were never a
huggy sort of family, more like good friends really.

I go to Church, but I am not one of those wet Christians, I've known a few
and, for the best part, the wet ones have the weakest faith.  My faith is
important to me, but I don't ram it down people's throats unless invited
to..  even then I might avoid the subject.  But I do enjoy a good argument!

I am a bit of a hopeless romantic, I love to lie down at night and watch for
shooting stars, love the sea and the countryside, but don't really enjoy
going for walks by myself.  I would consider myself to be a good friend but
I'd need a lot of work done before I made a good boyfriend!

I guess I'm looking for someone who is looking for a friend first, and who
knows what will happen in the future.  I would quite like to have at least
one kid, but It is not the most important thing in my life.  I do, however,
love kids and from what I can gather, they quite like me too... I think they
see me as a moving climbing frame!  I've been told that they like me because
I talk to them as equal people.  I can't think of any other way....

Well, I've bared my soul a little and posted up for the whole world to see!
I must be mad!!!!

If there's anything else left that you want to know, feel free to write
back...
