I’d really like to be a Dad. I believe that to have loving, close and nurturing connections is perhaps the most important thing in life. Being able to have that connection with your own child must be a particularly special experience.

I'm currently in a relationship where having children isn't possible, which is why I'm exploring co-parenting. What's important to me is physical proximity - I would really like to be involved in bringing up my child. As I am currently based in East London I am looking for someone in this area too (hopefully this isn't too idealistic!).

A bit about myself - I was born in Russia, grew up in Wales and have spent the last 14 years in London, working in ethical finance & arts & culture, where I currently have a senior role. I've always led a pretty healthy, active lifestyle (keen runner since about 18) but as I approach middle age I seem to be doing even more exercise and more and more healthier things (e.g. meditation, earlier rises, far less meat & alcohol etc.), which may sound boring but is making me feel good! I have a wide range of interests - from music to philosophy to literature (esp. the classics) - and a stable and often interesting job as well as my own home. I am relieved that writing this doesn't feel as artificial / pressured as writing a dating profile does. Phew!

Get in touch if you would like to find out more! :-)
