Bachelor auctions vacation -- with him

WOKINGHAM, England, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- A 39-year-old British man dumped by his girlfriend is auctioning a Valentine's Day vacation in Jamaica -- with himself as part of the package -- through eBay.

Adam Croot, jilted by girlfriend Laura, was left with a broken heart and two $2,400 non-refundable tickets from England to paradise, the Daily Mail in London reported.

"However much I loved Laura and wanted to go with her, I wanted to go on the holiday," he tells the Daily Mail.

His eBay item, which bans men from responding, includes photographs of him in a dinner jacket and in ski clothes, seeking to emulate Roger Moore as James Bond, he says.

He says he seeks a woman "who wants to be loved and who is secure enough not to score points."

"I have no problem spoiling the woman of my dreams mercilessly, but I want to do it because I want to do it -- not because I have to," he says.

An insurance operations director, Croot says he is not out for sex. In fact, he will sleep "in the hammock" of his beach-front suite, he says.

The auction closes in a week.
