Hello lovely Lady,
I live in Norway, in the small city of Tonsberg on the sea about 100 km south of the capital, Oslo.
10 years ago I fell in love with a girl much younger than me. She was without compromise in every way. We had a daughter, Ida Cathrine. We were married. My wife became ill with cancer of the breast and died some 18 months later. I looked after her all the way, she died at home. That was 6½ years ago.
--
Now, mourning is past. I search for an independent, proud, honest, kind, generous, good, faithful, intelligent, smart and sensual woman. Of sound mind. Generous about the peculiarities of the husband. Age 45 to 52.
I am a good father and male role model. Young children are wellcome. I will be the upstanding and straight parent that they will need in a foreign country.
But, there are 4 requirements:
1: You must love the sea.
2: You must want to dance(learn) modern dancing with me. Therefore you must be between 158 and 172 cm tall, and you must have an obvious waistline and a feel for the blues.
3: You must be prepared to move to Norway and learn language and culture.
4: And the most important: You and I must agree on making this a success. Neither adults nor children need another breakup of relations in their lives.
And what do I offer? Apart from the wisdom and patience that comes with age? I am honest, absolutely faithful (even if a little flirtatious), serious, steady, dependable, good eye for the needs of others, understanding and supportive, loving and appreciative. I admit to being a bit short-tempered, and noisy occationally. But I suffer fools badly, and I will not accept betrayal or disloyalty; any more than I myself will betray you. I am of sound mind and there is no history of psychiatric disease in my family.
I have a university education, and I have a leading position in local government, working in the fields of homeland security and environmental health.
Good income, secure job, good pension in the future.
In short, I want a smart woman to love, to discuss with, to grow comfortably old with, and to die with. And I want the warmth of a family to make life worth living.

If what I have written hits your heart and belly, please contact me. But be aware; this is not about money. This is about love!
I am not entirely out of touch with reality. So I expect that I will travel to meet you face to face. There is something about the first 10 minutes of a meeting that decide our fate.
Ether we “click”, or we don’t. And, if we don’t, then let us be content that we did not get married before we had a chance to meet.
The Lady:
Beauty is only skin deep. I am looking for an honest woman with integrity, kindness, goodness and modest behaviour. And with a nice-sounding voice. She must be of sound mind, and good physical health. My woman has slim waist for dancing, round, womanly hips, nice eyes; but she need not have the looks of a movie star.
But she must love the sea. And serious conversation. And she must have have access to her inner self.
But I am in a hurry. Life is empty without the nearness of you. So, write if you will.
LADIES PLEASE: Beautiful young ladies need not write to me. I will only reply to ladies 45 to 52 yo.
Most hopefully,
Your bernhardho

Beauty is only skin deep. I am looking for an honest woman with integrity, kindness, goodness and modest behaviour. Sound of mind and body. Smart, intelligent, loving, sensual and sensible. My woman has slim waist for dancing, round, womanly hips, nice eyes; and her voice needs to be pleasant.
But she must love the sea. And serious conversation. And she must have have access to her inner self.
