Why should you get to know Awaken?

Well, I'm Simon. I'm halfway between employed and self employed, the reason I'm up north is to take my ebay business full time, I couldn't buy a 3 bed semi for £57k down south, that's for sure! It seems to be working, just slowly.

I live with my best mate and business partner. He's quit already, and I'm the poor sucker who still has to go to work most of the time. I have a cool title. "New Media Manager", but that doesn't disguise the fact I'm bored all day, and am still working for someone else.

Anyway, enough of that. To sum up, I have no intention of being a sheep all my life, and posess the 'go getem' foolhardy personality you might expect. I'm not boring, but like boring things like watching telly and stuff :)

Oh and being on the Telegraph website, I should mention I definitely lean to the left rather than the right.

He describes his ideal match thus:

Someone a bit bossy, who can stand up for herself certainly, and has no qualms about putting me in my place if I try and get away with too much. I have a habit of, firstly, being a big wet blanket and not making any decisions, then ending up too dominating and with too many ideas and opinions. Therefore my ideal partner should definitely have an opinion of her own for most things and not be afraid to show it, and/or take decisions away from me :)
