The Interview

What excites you in someone?

Curiosity.

People who are still curious despite having experienced a great deal of life already. Men who work hard, travel often, notice details, and still allow themselves softness, humour and desire underneath it all.

I’m drawn to people who know how to lead in some areas of life and let go in others.

There’s something deeply attractive about someone who is quietly confident and emotionally intelligent without needing to announce either.

What makes chemistry for you?

Ease.

The kind where conversation flows naturally, eye contact lingers slightly longer than intended, and time begins slipping by unnoticed.

I think chemistry is often built in the smaller things rather than grand gestures:
how someone listens,
how they observe,
how considerate they are,
whether they make you feel safe enough to relax into yourself.

Why do you prefer longer dates?

Because people rarely reveal themselves immediately.

The best moments tend to happen after the initial formality dissolves. After the second cocktail. Somewhere between laughter, conversation, touch and comfort.

Longer dates allow space for spontaneity.

For the evening to become something rather than feel timed.

What does luxury mean to you?

Not excess.

Luxury to me is attentiveness. Privacy. Beautiful lighting. Clean sheets. Good wine. Feeling unrushed.

It’s being fully present with someone without outside interruptions constantly pulling at your attention.

It’s emotional atmosphere as much as aesthetics.

What do you notice first about someone?

Energy before appearance.

How they carry themselves. Whether they make others feel comfortable around them. Whether they’re observant or performative.

I tend to remember kindness and small gestures far more than obvious displays of wealth or status.

Thoughts on discretion?

Discretion is one of the foundations of intimacy.

To feel genuinely uninhibited with another person requires trust, mutual respect and emotional safety. I understand the importance of privacy deeply and handle it with enormous care.

The most enjoyable connections are always the ones where both people instinctively protect one another’s peace.

Describe your ideal evening in London.

Somewhere dimly lit and quietly buzzing.

Cocktails first. Good conversation. A little people-watching. Wandering somewhere beautiful afterwards, perhaps slightly underdressed for the weather.

I love evenings that unfold naturally rather than feel overly planned.

The kind where neither person checks the time very much.

What kind of dynamic do you naturally fall into?

It depends entirely on the person.

I can be playful, soft, teasing, attentive, quietly dominant, deeply affectionate or surprisingly shy in certain moments.

I think the most interesting dynamics happen organically rather than trying to force predefined roles onto one another.

What makes someone unforgettable to you?

Presence.

People who make you feel seen without making it feel clinical. People who remember details. People who make ordinary moments feel cinematic somehow.

Also: wit. Wit helps enormously.

Final thoughts?

I think modern life leaves very little room for genuine escapism.

Most people are exhausted, overstimulated and constantly reachable.

There’s something incredibly intimate about carving out a pocket of time where both people can simply exist together without performance, pressure or outside noise for a while.

That, more than anything, is what I enjoy creating.
