I am not sure how humble my origins can be said to be but I, myself, tend to be a humble man or so I am often told. I am a romantic at heart as well which is partly what drove me to write to you. Family is an important thing to me though I came from a small one. Even so, love has always been among us which I feel is important in a family. And I am at an age when I should be considering the start of my own.

I am not sure how much of a retiring sort I am but I do not often attend social events and parties. Things I do like are cooking and baking despite the fact most people might think it odd of me. If I am to be considered an eccentric for doing what I enjoy then I suppose that is my lot in life. If any of what I have shared of myself appeals to you, I do hope you write me in return.
