I’m Italian and I’m naturally quite warm and affectionate, and I’m used to expressing my feelings openly. For me, showing affection and letting someone know how I feel is simply part of building a close and meaningful relationship. I am a happy and cheerful person, chilled, easy going and friendly who always bring a smile. A half full of glass and down to earth person always ready to discover new things and visit new places. At this stage of my life I do prefer cozy nights in, chatting on the sofa, watching a good film or documentary, reading something interesting, rather than going out and enjoying nightlife. Unfortunately I am not much of a cook :) I am not a beach person, I do prefer exploring cities or spending time in nature. At the moment I have chosen to make York my home for now because I prefer smaller cities with a more relaxed pace of life. I work fully remotely and currently split my time between Italy and the UK, but from 2027 I'll be settling in the Uk permanently. Although I have been divorced for three years, I still believe in marriage and would love to find someone who is genuinely looking for a long-term relationship. As for my likes - they are walking, hiking, exploring new historic places, road trips, nature, animals, photography, reading, aromatherapy, dogs.

I’d love to meet someone who enjoys culture, discovering new places, learning new things and having interesting conversations, rather than someone who is obsessed with the gym, pecs, golf, padel, cruises or fishing. I think that physical attraction matters but there has to be so much more than that. I’m not looking for someone simply to keep me company but I’m looking for a life partner, someone with whom I can have a real mental connection, stimulating conversations and shared interests. I am not particularly attracted to men who are too skinny, but I am not into overly muscular men either. I am not really a fan of bald men (apologise for that), I don't particularly like beards. I like men who dress casually. I like open-minded people who are curious about the world, love discovering new things and are always up for learning something new. Ideally, I would like to meet someone who doesn't have family commitments, such as children or grandchildren, as at this point of life I value the more independent lifestyle we tend to have in Italy. We like to meet friends during the weekend rather than having to look after grandchildren :)
