Hi John,
Reading everything you wrote was very inspiring. I'm not super comfortable with meeting someone online either, but I wanted to thank you for throwing caution to the wind and being so honest. Knowing someone like you is committed to finding the right woman helps me believe that maybe I'll meet the right man. I prefer to take things slow at first too and start as friends. Have you found a new place to call home? I'm out west, too, and have been traveling a bit myself moving between a few different farms according to the seasons. Maybe our paths will cross. You're welcome to message me privately if you'd rather not share too much personal info here. I get it. Travel safe and thanks, again.
