THE HITCHING POST

I am looking for a gentleman in his 70s who is lonely and tired of being on his own, but is young at heart. He should be interested in walks along the beachfront, braais with friends and occasional evenings out; in other words, someone who generally enjoys life. I’m in my 70s but have an uncomplicated mindset that is years younger. I would like companionship and a special someone in my life.

I live in Cape Town, and would really like to meet someone from this area. Hopefully you are the one. OPTIMISTIC

I am a widow living and working on the East Rand in Gauteng. I have four adult children whom I visit whenever possible. My interests include playing golf and contract bridge, gardening, theatre, movies and entertaining at home. I travel locally and internationally, whenever I can. CHAT TO ME IF YOU WISH

I am a lovely lady looking for a healthy, adventurous, refined gentleman who is also a nature lover. I envisage a retired engineer, pilot, doctor or farmer in his 60s or early 70s. He should have a good sense of humour and be a practical, intelligent man. ZEST FOR LIFE

I’m outgoing, friendly and funny, and I embrace life. My interests are reading, gardening, travelling, camping, sailing and flying. I live a balanced life: entertaining with good food and lovely friends, and enjoying quiet moments for thoughtful contemplation that make life precious.

I’m looking for a gentleman between the ages of 66 and 73 who is loving, kind, adventurous, capable, refined and sincere. He should also have a sense of humour, and be active and intelligent. GEM, 1935

I’m a young-at-heart widower of 79 who has a lot of love to share with the right lady. I seek a serious relationship with someone who is like-minded and between 47 and 70.

I live in a big house all by myself, 30 minutes from Gqeberha. Please write to me soon. LONELY HEART, 6230
