🎹
Music, obviously
Musical director, pianist and owner of a frankly unreasonable number of instruments.
West Midlands · Permanent position
Help me find John a boyfriend.
Dating apps have failed their probation. So John—45, affectionate, musical and increasingly unconvinced by one-word replies—is recruiting one excellent man for something real.
The candidate you’ll be meeting
House-trained.
Emotionally literate.
🚐
Weekends in Wales
A touring caravan on a seasonal pitch, sea air and somewhere comfortable to come back to.
🔧
Cars and tinkering
Happier fixing, improving or investigating something than pretending not to notice it.
🐕
Strongly dog-positive
Dogs are excellent. This is less a preference than a sound assessment of character.
🫂
Built for cuddles
Affectionate, loyal and looking for the sort of closeness that exists outside the bedroom too.
✈️
A life already happening
A career, a home, travel plans and plenty to share—seeking a partner, not a rescue project.

One-word replies
Decent grammar and a functioning conversational style are highly desirable.

Think you might qualify?
Make your move.
This is deliberately more human than swiping. Tell John enough to start a proper conversation; your details will be sent privately to him.
