Happy and stable being single for now, though open to suggestions...

If I know you, even by the vaguest of connections, add me. If I don't, please be at least any combination of the following: charming, intelligent, witty, funny and vaguely cultured and civilised. Failing that, please be extremely goodlooking. Oh, and buff would be nice too :)
